An Lingrong's Rebirth: Red

"She does hate Nian Shilan, but the problem is that she has already left the palace."

Ling Rong was quite helpless. "Even if she is in the palace, it is not easy to use her. After all, Nian Shilan is already idiotic. Based on Zhen Huan's personality, she will not continue to embarrass her after she is sure that she is not pretending."

"You think highly of Zhen Huan. Don't forget how she harmed you."

"Although the means used to achieve a person's character, but at that time..." I'm afraid that I am the same person as Yu Ying'er, who took away her favor and harmed her. When I am harmed, I will fight back. Isn't that the case for everyone?

"Forget it. Why mention her? She is already an abandoned concubine. She is destined not to be able to return to the palace."

Concubine Tian rolled her eyes at Lingrong and said with a pout, "It was obviously you who started talking too much."

"Then what should we do? Ask Concubine Cao to harm Nian Shilan? She is the Queen's person, how can she help us?"

"But if Nian Shilan recovers and is no longer stupid, the ones who will be most worried are the Empress and Concubine Cao." Ling Rong muttered to herself, almost completely ignoring that Concubine Tian was still sitting next to her. "It seems that Concubine Qi is also an old man in the palace. I wonder if she knows anything."

"Where is the Qi Consort? She is now Li Changzai." Tianpin had a bit of a mean-spirited look. She sneered at Li Changzai smugly. "She is a brainless person who wants to harm me. She is so bold. I spared her life purely to accumulate some good karma."

When it comes to the murder, Concubine Tian can't stop talking. Lingrong couldn't help wanting to interrupt her several times, but seeing that she was very happy, she kept quiet.

After a long time, she finally became a little tired, but she still did not forget to ask Lingrong, "Just tell me if what I said is right."

"You're absolutely right." Ling Rong had a blank expression on her face, but her words sounded like they were united in their hatred of the enemy.

Concubine Tian nodded with satisfaction, looking pleased as if she had scolded her mortal enemy enough.

“So currently we have two ideas. One is to follow Jixiang’s request and find a way to deal with Nian Shilan, but in order to protect ourselves, we must find someone to do this.

The only ones who can do this right now are Concubine Cao and Zhen Huan, but Zhen Huan is not in the palace, so it is difficult to frame her."

Ling Rong looked at Concubine Tian and nodded before continuing, "The second idea is to stabilize Jixiang for the time being, and then contact Li Changzai and the maids serving her to see if we can dig out any information.

When she was in the mansion, Li Changzai was very favored, and there were countless people who wanted to please her.

Maybe she can know some gossip, what do you think, Concubine Tian?"

"I think it's easier to deal with Nian Shilan. She was already mad anyway. It's not strange that she ran out of Yikun Palace and fell into the water and drowned."

Concubine Tian didn't think she could get any information from Li Chang. For her, it might be easier to take some risks and cause trouble for Nian Shilan.

"But killing Nian Shilan is still risky. If you ask someone else to do it..."

"I don't know how much effort it takes to ask others to do it. You don't feel tired of sowing discord and fanning the flames."

Concubine Tian really didn't have the patience to listen to Lingrong's rambling on and on about some roundabout ways. Even if she wanted to instigate others, she wanted the one that would be effective the fastest.

"You don't have to do it. I can do it myself. Can you trust me to do it now?"

"Let's ask Li Changzai first."

Lingrong still felt that there was a safer way, but Concubine Tian was very anxious. She wanted to kill Concubine Hua immediately and then take the throne as the most honorable woman in the dynasty.

"I'll leave Li Chang there to you. I'll take care of Nian Shilan. She has to make room in the Yikun Palace."

Without waiting for Lingrong to say anything more, Concubine Tian stood up to say goodbye, and her action was even faster than when she went to Suiyuxuan to slap Concubine Chun.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Tian's behavior may ruin our plan."

"I've tried to persuade her, and I've tried to stop her. She's determined to kill Nian Shilan, and there's nothing I can do."

Lingrong was not that worried. After all, she was not the one who had to take action. Even if the emperor found out and wanted someone to pay with their life, it would not be her.

Moreover, Concubine Tian would not lose her life because of this. Even if the emperor was angry, he would not trample on the face of the Fucha family.

As long as Concubine Tian is around, the support of the Fucha family will still be there. If the emperor really dislikes her, she will have no choice but to continue to stay by his side, and it will be easier to control her then.

Lingrong smiled and sighed. When she first entered the palace, she said that she would hold Concubine Tian in her palm and step on her to climb to a higher position. Now her plan is about to come true.

Although this period of time seems a little long, but if you can endure the loneliness, there will be light at the end of the tunnel sooner or later.

"The queen doesn't seem to be in a hurry at all," Zhao Shui added some charcoal to make the room even hotter, "it seems like she has a backup plan."

“There is no back-up plan. No matter what happens, the impact on us is not that big.

If she can't take that position, we'll just find someone else.

Anyway, there is no precedent for a Han woman to be the empress. If Ulanara is really deposed, who else can the emperor choose besides Fucha?"

Almost two days after Lingrong and Concubine Tian had a private discussion, Concubine Tian began to bribe the palace maids in Yikun Palace.

There weren't many people in the palace, so it was easy to bribe them. But there were many guards guarding the Yikun Palace, and these people changed shifts regularly, so it was not so easy to bribe them.

But Concubine Tian was so wealthy that she spent handfuls of money and actually bribed the two guards at the gate.

However, the guarding period of these two people was at dawn, so Concubine Tian had to stay awake and wake up when it was still dark to order everyone to do things.

The eunuch Xiao Dezi beside her took the lead and entered the Yikun Palace when the guards changed shifts.

At this time, the Yiku Palace was quiet, without even a sound of human voice. The huge courtyard was even covered with snow in many places, making it so bleak that it looked like a haunted house.

Xiao Dezi carefully avoided places with snow and tried not to leave footprints. He finally reached the front door, but it was locked tightly and could not be moved no matter how hard he tried.

Under normal circumstances, Xiao Dezi would have the opportunity to open the door from the outside, but today he had a mission and did not have that much time to waste.

Seeing that he couldn't open the door, he could only think of a way to take a detour and see if there was any window that was not closed tightly, which would give him a chance to get into the hall.

After walking along the wall for a long time, he finally found a window that was not closed tightly. Perhaps no one had maintained it for a long time, and the window frame was a little crooked. Xiao Dezi just used a little force to pry the window open a little and squeezed in smoothly.

Even after entering the hall, the Yiku Palace was still quiet. Xiao Dezi groped his way along but did not meet any single figure.

After passing through several doors, Xiao Dezi finally approached the palace where Nian Shilan lived. Songzhi slept in the outer room as before, watching over Nian Shilan inside so that she could sleep well.

Xiao Dezi walked forward quietly, pulled off the white silk wrapped around his waist and held them in his hands. After everything was ready, he patted Songzhi's shoulder to wake her up from her sleep.

Songzhi and Nian Shilan had been locked up in Yikun Palace for a long time, and they had never thought that anyone would appear here. In addition, Nian Shilan was already idiotic and would not make any excessive demands in the middle of the night, which made Songzhi slowly lose her previous vigilance. She slept soundly, and even when Xiao Dezi woke her up in her dream, it took her a long time to wake up.

But the moment she woke up, Xiao Dezi grabbed her neck tightly. Songzhi struggled violently, raising her hands to scratch the back of Xiao Dezi's hands.

But Xiao Dezi was prepared. He wrapped the back of his hand with white silk, so that Songzhi did not leave any marks on her hand.

Songzhi made a gurgling sound in her throat and her face turned red because she couldn't breathe. She tried to make a sound, but soon lost her life and was strangled to death in Xiao Dezi's arms.

Xiao Dezi continued to strangle her for a long time, and only after he was sure that Songzhi was dead did he stand up and hang the white silk on the beam again and tie a knot.

Soon, the dead Songzhi was also hung on it, and the chair used to disguise her suicide by hanging was pushed over with a bang.

The sound was particularly loud in the silent palace. Nian Shilan, who was sleeping soundly, was awakened by the sound and immediately started shouting uncontrollably.

Xiao Dezi did not go into the inner room. He stood in the dark corner, facing Songzhi's body swaying on the beam, and listened to Nian Shilan's nonsense very calmly.

After a long while, Nian Shilan calmed down. She called Songzhi and groped her way out of the inner room.

Nian Shilan was now completely stupid. She didn't know how to light candles and wasn't wearing shoes. She just kept spinning around, and it seemed that she had knocked over quite a few vases and other things, making very crisp shattering sounds.

Xiao Dezi waited for a long time before he saw Nian Shilan coming out. She was still calling Songzhi, but she bumped into a stool that fell to the ground and fell heavily.

She finally got up from the ground, but her head hit Songzhi's feet, causing Songzhi's body to shake again.

Nian Shilan stared blankly at the figure swaying above his head, and after a long while hesitantly called out "Songzhi".

"Song, Zhi?" Nian Shilan raised her hands and grabbed Song Zhi's feet, pulling her shaking body desperately. Unfortunately, Song Zhi did not answer, nor did she come to support Nian Shilan like she did before.

While Nian Shilan and Songzhi's corpse were talking, Xiao Dezi quickly opened the door. Gusts of cold wind blew in from outside. Nian Shilan hugged her shoulders tightly because of the cold. She wanted to leave, but suddenly heard a bird singing outside.

The cry attracted Nian Shilan. She looked hesitantly at the hanging Songzhi, then looked outside the door. Since no one stopped her, she followed the voice and followed it out.

At this moment, not only the doors of the palace were opened, but even the gate of Yikun Palace had been quietly opened. Nian Shilan ran around aimlessly and didn't know where he was going.

But the bird's voice had gradually disappeared. Nian Shilan wanted to go back to a warm place, but when she looked around, everything was white and she couldn't find the way she came.

"Songzhi! Songzhi! Songzhi!" Nian Shilan called out Songzhi a few more times in a vague voice, and then listened attentively, but she never got a response, nor did Songzhi come to take her back.

She felt herself getting colder and colder, but the soles of her feet on the snow were getting hotter and hotter. She suddenly heard the sound of birds singing again, and she foolishly ran after them. However, she accidentally fell into the Thousand Carp Pond and hit the ice hard.

It was already midwinter at this time, and the ice was extremely thin. When Nian Shilan hit the ice, it cracked instantly. She was immediately wrapped by the cold pool water and slid into the icy depths.

Xiao Dezi stood on the shore, watching Nian Shilan struggle frantically until she fell silent, and finally her frozen body slowly floated on the ice.

At this moment, the sky was just breaking daybreak, and a ray of sunlight peeked out from behind the clouds, providing the only hint of warmth in this winter day.

Xiao Dezi hid behind the tree and watched for a while, and confirmed that Nian Shilan was also dead. Then he left quietly and returned to the Yanxi Palace to report the news.

Upon learning that everything had been handled, Concubine Tian generously rewarded Xiao Dezi and, for the first time in history, gave him three days off so that he could have a good rest.

Soon, the news of Nian Shilan's death spread to all the palaces. Ling Rong was tying her hair at the time. When she heard the news, she couldn't help but pause. It took her a long time before she said, "I know."

"I heard that she fell into the Thousand Carp Pond and drowned," Zhao Shui neatly arranged Ling Rong's hair, inserting the hairpins one by one into her hair, "It seems that Concubine Tian was responsible. After all, that's what she said a few days ago."

"Now I just hope she can get rid of the evidence and not let the emperor find her."

Ling Rong looked at herself in the mirror, raised her hand and pointed at a hairpin on her head, "Let's take this one away. Although it was drawn by the emperor himself, I'm afraid it's too bright to use today and will displease the emperor."

Zhaoshui responded with a "yes" and took off the hairpin. Even Lingrong's makeup today was as simple as possible, without her usual shyness and gentleness.

"Then today, Your Majesty, please wear that moon-white Manchu dress. The light blue color won't bother anyone."

Lingrong nodded and took the ink to draw her eyebrows. This thing that she had fought for in her previous life now became something that she could easily get.

But Nian Shilan, because the conflict between Luo Zidai and Zhen Huan was further intensified, died first.

If Zhen Huan knew this news, she would probably be happy too.

After all, in her eyes, Nian Shilan was the culprit who killed her first child and prevented her from getting pregnant in her entire life.

"Are we going to Jingren Palace or Xianfu Palace today?"

"To answer your question, Madam," Zhaoshui helped Lingrong up and smoothed the wrinkles on her clothes, "We went to Jingren Palace. I heard that the Emperor rushed there early in the morning to discuss the matter of the Nian promise with the Empress. He is still in Jingren Palace and has not left yet."
