An Lingrong's Rebirth: Red

Concubine Tian pinched her fingers. The anger in her heart did not dissipate with the slap. She even regretted not slapping the little bitch again.

"Empress Tian?" Zhaoshui urged again, "Go and tell the emperor about this. Although there is no solid evidence, witnesses are also important.

Although there is no way to convict Consort Chun, it can let the Emperor know your grievances, and the Emperor will be more compassionate to Princess Huai Ke."

"I understand, please go back."

Although Concubine Tian didn't like the childish behavior of crying all the time, this method was indeed the best way to deal with the emperor.

So no matter how embarrassed she felt, she would prick her nose, shed a few tears and go to the emperor to complain.

It’s just that I just slapped Concubine Chun, and I don’t know if the emperor will blame me for it.

Concubine Tian was worried, but at the urging of Zhaoshui's eyes, she changed direction and went to the Yangxin Palace to perform.

Zhao Shui watched Concubine Tian enter the room before turning around to report to her master. However, she did not expect to see Concubine Chun crying with tears in her eyes and a bright red slap mark on her face. She had also run to the emperor to cry and complain.

Zhaoshui thought that he could delay the matter as long as possible for Concubine Tian, ​​so he did not hide from Concubine Chun and went up to her and paid his respects.

If it were in the past, Concubine Chun would have to ask Zhaoshui explicitly or implicitly where he came from and what he was going to do. But today, she didn't have the mood to do so. She just shouted "Get up" and rushed to the Yangxin Palace.

However, when she arrived at the entrance of the Palace of Tranquil Longevity, Su Peisheng stopped her from entering, saying that Concubine Tian was currently in the palace serving the Emperor, and it would be better for Concubine Chun not to disturb her.

Concubine Chun touched her cheek; the feeling of heat, swelling and pain was still there. While the red mark was still there, she said that she would go to the emperor and cry to him, asking for some sympathy.

But I didn’t expect that Concubine Tian, ​​who was so brainless, would actually have some brains and run to the emperor to cry and complain.

But Zhaoshui also came from this direction, so it must have been taught by Concubine Sheng in secret.

Concubine Chun gritted her teeth and put on a tearful expression. There was still a bit of childishness on her face, and when she cried, she looked a bit pitiful and cute, like a child who didn't get any candy.

Even someone like Su Peisheng, who was used to seeing concubines crying, couldn't help but be shaken and wanted to say a few good words for her.

"Eunuch Su, Concubine Tian rushed into Suiyuxuan and slapped me without knowing right or wrong. Now the wicked person is the first to file a complaint and ask the emperor to make a decision before me.

I am not afraid that she will say bad things about me behind my back, I am only afraid that the Emperor will be deceived by her and become displeased with the Seventh Prince."

"My dear, I know you feel wronged, but the emperor did order us not to disturb you.

So please wait patiently, Lady Concubine Tian will probably come out in a while."

Although Su Peisheng did feel that Concubine Chun was a bit pitiful, his master was the emperor, and what his master said was what he had to do. Even if he felt compassion, he could not change his mind.

Moreover, compared with the person in front of him, the Concubine Tian inside is more powerful and is not an easy person to deal with.

"Eunuch Su, please ask the emperor for me. If the emperor really doesn't want to see me, I will leave and will never embarrass you, Eunuch Su."

Concubine Chun wiped her tears and said that it was not difficult, but she still made a request that made Su Peisheng embarrassed.

Su Peisheng was really helpless and could only enter the palace and tell the emperor that Concubine Chun had also come to the Yangxin Palace.

"Let her in. We need to talk this out face to face."

The emperor's tone was still calm. Concubine Tian sat beside him wiping her tears, and it was hard to tell what the two men were talking about.

But Su Peisheng was too lazy to delve into the emperor's family affairs. After getting the emperor's consent, he invited Concubine Chun in, and then closed the door tightly, leaving the three of them alone to argue and quarrel inside.

"Your Majesty..." Concubine Chun just called out "Your Majesty" and tears started falling. She squatted down to salute and raised her head just in time to reveal the red and swollen slap mark.

The emperor frowned when he saw the palm print, but because Concubine Tian had just explained the cause and effect to him, he did not immediately blame Concubine Tian for this matter.

"Get up, and don't be so formal."

Concubine Chun stood up immediately. She glanced at Concubine Tian and sighed that she was still a step late.

"Your Majesty..." Without waiting for Concubine Chun to speak, Concubine Tian moved closer to the Emperor and said, "I risked my life to give birth to a child like Huai Ke. Now someone wants to harm her. How can I sit still and do this?

However, even though there was witnesses, Concubine Chun refused to admit it, so I beat her in anger.

It’s just that I have already apologized to Concubine Chun, but I didn’t expect that she would refuse to accept it and followed me to the emperor’s place.”

Concubine Tian's instigation was not very clever, and she even lied, but the good thing was that it was Princess Huai Ke who was in trouble, and Concubine Chun did come to the Yangxin Palace after Concubine Tian.

"I came here today to plead with the emperor and find out the truth about Princess Huai Ke's high fever. I don't want to be misunderstood by Sister Tian, ​​nor do I want the real murderer to go unpunished."

Concubine Chun was obviously much smarter than Concubine Tian. She looked like she was about to cry, and every word she said showed her worry for Concubine Tian and Huai Ke.

"It doesn't matter if I get slapped in the face. What's most important is that Sister Tian gets rid of her anger for the time being."

When the emperor heard her say this, he suddenly felt compassion for her. He walked closer and touched Concubine Chun's cheek, "Why did you rush here in such a hurry without even applying ice?"

Concubine Chun felt the emperor's touch and immediately hissed softly, but pretended to be strong and shook her head, "I am not in pain, Huai Ke has a serious illness, I don't know how heartbroken Sister Tian is."

Being called "Sister Tian" all the time, Concubine Tian felt like she was about to vomit her overnight meal, but now in front of the Emperor, she could only endure it and even cried to Concubine Chun.

"Handan swore and said that she opened the window for Concubine Chun in order to repay her kindness." Concubine Tian wiped her tears, "In order not to wrongly accuse Concubine Chun, I asked someone to go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to ask, and it turned out that someone gave a large sum of money to rescue Handan.

But both Concubine Jing and Concubine Sheng have the power to assist in managing the six palaces. When I asked them, neither of them had ever heard of Handan's name, nor had they ever seen her on the roster.

Your Majesty, the transfer of a palace maid is not a big deal, but she is the person directly involved in the murder of Huai Ke, and she is willing to come forward to testify, so how can I not believe her?"

The two concubines, whom the emperor had favored recently, cried and complained about their grievances in front of him. The emperor felt distressed and a little annoyed.

After all, Concubine Jing and Concubine Sheng are here. These cases should be investigated and handled by them first, and they should inform me of the results in the end.

But now these two people are taking advantage of their grievances and are coming to me without any care, which is really a bit immature.

"Have you two told Concubine Jing and Concubine Sheng about this?"

"I have already told the two ladies," Concubine Tian took the opportunity to wipe her tears and glared at Concubine Chun fiercely, "Your Majesty, you also know that I came to you not to talk about this matter, but to ask you to go see Huai Ke.

But I don't know why Concubine Chun came here. If she is not the real murderer, she just learned about it from me.

But now, she has not gone to the two ladies to explain the situation, but has come to the Yangxin Palace first, and she knew that the concubine had come to the emperor's place..."

Concubine Tian finally learned her lesson. She spoke a lot before Concubine Chun, blaming Concubine Chun for the quarrel between the two in front of the Emperor today.

"I was just worried about Sister Tian and her daughter, so I completely forgot to look for other people. I was only thinking about asking the emperor to make a decision for Sister Tian.

But such a sincere heart was doubted by Sister Tian, ​​I...I really feel wronged. "

The emperor sighed. His ears hurt from what he heard, so he had to stop the two from arguing. "Okay, Concubine Tian will go back to the palace first to take care of Huai Ke. I will visit him later."

Concubine Tian replied "yes" reluctantly. She wiped away her tears and just happened to see the smug smile of Concubine Chun who was standing behind the emperor.

She was so angry that she clenched her handkerchief, tried hard to control her emotions and walked out the door.

After Concubine Tian left, the emperor set his eyes on Concubine Chun, who immediately stroked her cheek and called out "Your Majesty" pitifully.

"Handan is now detained in the Yangxin Palace. Since she is a living person, there are many clues about her.

I listened to your words, and even though I wanted to believe them, I also knew that your relationship with Concubine Tian was not actually good."

The emperor frowned, and although he didn't shout at her, he had an aura of authority that made Concubine Chun unable to say a word in rebuttal.

"You bribed the palace maids, murdered the princess, and tried to frame her. I don't want to believe that you did all these things.

I'll give you another chance, is it you who did it?"

Concubine Chun fell silent. She neither said yes nor no, but her attitude actually said it all.

"The relationship between you two is not good, please don't let it affect the child. The Seventh Prince has had a high fever all day, and Concubine Tian is as worried as you are.

Huai Ke is much younger than Hong Hui. How could you have the heart to harm such a young child?"

"Your Majesty, I really didn't do it." Concubine Chun was silent for a while, but she insisted that she was not the real culprit behind this. "Since Handan is in the Yangxin Palace, please investigate thoroughly and clear my name."

Concubine Chun bowed slowly with her head lowered, as if she accepted her fate but also refused to admit defeat.

The emperor thought that his judgment was absolutely correct, but Concubine Chun insisted on it, which made the emperor feel a little shaken.

However, further questioning would not yield any real results, so the emperor immediately nodded and told Concubine Chun to return to Suiyuxuan, saying that he would send someone to investigate the matter thoroughly.

Handan did cooperate and repeatedly stated that it was indeed Concubine Chun who asked her to do this.

But she really didn't have any evidence to provide. She could only say that she was grateful for Concubine Chun's kindness, so when Concubine Chun asked her, she agreed without hesitation.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs did have witnesses and material evidence that Concubine Chun had spent a large sum of money to rescue Handan, so she couldn't avoid this matter.

The witness is so solid, and the act of just opening the window would not leave any physical evidence. Even if Concubine Chun is unwilling to admit it, it could only be her who did it.

However, the Emperor took into consideration that Concubine Chun was the biological mother of the Seventh Prince, and that the incident had not caused any serious impact on Huai Ke, so he lightly let it go by confining her to her home for three days and deducting her monthly salary for two months.

Tianpin was naturally unwilling, but the order was given by the emperor, so even if she was unhappy, she could only swallow the bitterness with gritted teeth.

However, there is good news. Concubine Tian has found out some clues about the matter of Queen Chunyuan. Jixiang knows some details from that year. It is true that the Queen used more than just peach kernels, but also some other means.

Concubine Duan had some evidence, but this matter implicated Concubine Duan as well, so she chose to remain silent that year and did not expose what the Queen had done.

"But when asked about the evidence, Jixiang was unwilling to say it. She put forward a condition," Concubine Tian frowned. After all, this condition was something she couldn't figure out and couldn't do. "She asked us to kill the already demented Nian Shilan to avenge Concubine Duan.

But it was Fu Changzai who harmed Concubine Duan, what does it have to do with Nian Shilan?"

Lingrong was very clear about this matter. She rolled her eyes and thought about how to get the key evidence from Jixiang.

"The Nian family has fallen, and Nian Shilan has gone insane. The emperor has kept her in the Yikun Palace and has not allowed her to go without any food or clothing.

The emperor cares so much about Nian Shilan, if he really harms her, I'm afraid he will face a catastrophic disaster."

Ling Rong was worried that Concubine Tian would do something stupid, so she deliberately mentioned the importance of Nian Shilan in the emperor's heart, "You must not do anything stupid and make the emperor angry."

"Of course I won't do it, but now Jixiang has only this one condition. She is dead now, and nothing can threaten her anymore."

"But we must have this evidence." Ling Rong was quite helpless. It was absolutely not advisable to take direct action. The only option now was to kill with a borrowed knife.

But now that the Nian family has fallen and Nian Shilan has become stupid, who would regard her as a thorn in their side and want to take her life?

"Besides the Queen, is there anyone in the harem who hates Nian Shilan?"

Concubine Tian nodded and blinked her eyes. "Besides the Empress, there is only one Concubine Cao. That year, Shilan took Wen Yi away to compete for the Emperor's favor, and did not allow Concubine Cao to visit.

If it weren't for your help, I'm afraid Princess Wen Yi would still have remembered it in Nian Shilan's jade book!"

Cao Qinmo?... Lingrong had never had any major conflicts with Cao Qinmo in her past and present lives. In this life, they would even occasionally share what they had with each other. It was not worth asking Cao Qinmo to be the murderous knife.

But apart from Cao Qinmo, it is really difficult for Lingrong to find someone who hates Nian Shilan so much that she wants to kill her.

"It's not necessary to ask Zhen Huan to do this."
