An Lingrong's Rebirth: Red

Hai Changzai is indeed a trouble-making person. When she opens and closes her mouth, it makes people want to sew her lips together.

Fortunately, Cao Qinmo is not an impulsive person. If it were Concubine Hua or Concubine Tian, ​​they would probably rush up and slap her twice immediately.

But even though Cao Qinmo was used to forbearing, she naturally couldn't tolerate such provocation from Hai Changzai.

"Hai Changzai is new to the palace, she knows neither Concubine Hua nor me.

But he knew everything that happened between us and was able to make up many unfounded grudges. I believe he must have been trying to find out about these things behind our backs.

Hai Changzai is indeed very capable, as he was able to investigate quietly under the noses of so many people in the harem.

Given time, I'm afraid there won't be anything in this palace that can be hidden from you."

Hai Changzai shook her head repeatedly and said that these things were just hearsay from others. How could a mere Changzai like her have the ability to discover these secrets?

Putting such a big hat on Cao Qinmo shows that he really has vicious intentions.

"Mr. Hai, please tell me where you heard these things from."

Lingrong had a feeling something was wrong and was afraid that someone had leaked the news deliberately in order to make everyone suspect Cao Qinmo, so she asked this question.

Concubine Tian has never mentioned this matter recently. It must be that the Queen was a little anxious when she saw Huichun and Xiuxia had not returned yet, so she came up with this idea to divert the Emperor's attention.

She chose Hai Chang, who was the loudest mouth among them, but she didn't expect that she would fail miserably and was labeled by Cao Qinmo as a despicable person who bribed the palace maids and liked to pry into secrets.

But I have to say that this method is somewhat useful. Looking at Concubine Jing's thoughtful look, she seems to be somewhat suspicious of Cao Qinmo.

"I heard it in the Imperial Garden. Gao Da Ying and I were looking at the trees that had sprouted green buds, and we heard a few palace maids discussing this matter.

The story of the grievances between Concubine Cao and Concubine Hua is very clear and fascinating, and it has a bit of the style of a storyteller. "

"You dare to talk about what you heard from others," Lingrong said in a rare stern tone. She glanced at Hai Changzai and remembered how this person had come to the Yanxi Palace to laugh at her in her previous life. "If you can't control your mouth, I will have to punish you by not allowing you to speak for three days.

I will send a maid to look after you. If you say anything, she will slap you in the face, even if you talk in your sleep."

Hai Changzai subconsciously covered her mouth and snorted, "How can there be such a punishment in this palace? As soon as Concubine Sheng got the power to assist in managing the six palaces, she used such a cruel method..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Concubine Xin beside her stopped her, "Well, Concubine Sheng is already a little unhappy, can't you see?

You can't hold back what you have to say, are you a teapot without a lid? "

Being interrupted like this, Hai Changzai could only shut up in disappointment.

The reason why she dared to speak like this was because Lingrong and Concubine Cao came from poor family backgrounds, and she believed that they could only show off their power in the palace by relying on their status and children.

She believed that as long as she wrote a letter home, her parents would cry and beg for mercy, and would never dare to let these two people act violently in front of her again.

"Sister, calm down," Imperial Concubine Jing finally spoke, "Mrs. Hai, this kind of nonsense is against the palace rules even if it is discussed in private.

I believe that apart from you and Mrs. Gao, there is no one else in this palace who understands the palace rules better.

If you feel that you don’t remember it well, go back and copy it twice to deepen your memory.”

Gao Da Ying didn't expect that this matter would involve herself. She glared at Hai Changzai angrily, but did not dare to disobey.

Cao Qinmo, on the other hand, became quiet again. She lowered her head and focused on drinking tea, as if what had just happened had nothing to do with her.

"The matter of Concubine Hua may be a malicious murder," Concubine Jing saw that everyone had quieted down and spoke again, "If the sisters in the palace really have any clues, please inform me and the emperor in time.

If you continue to speak without restraint and make random accusations like this, it will not be just a matter of one or two palace rules."

"Concubine understands."

Everyone had to speak up again, but it was obvious that Concubine Jing's words had made everyone's ears numb, and they were not shocked at all.

Among them, those who were on the Queen's side were very dissatisfied with Concubine Jing's behavior. They believed that she was taking advantage of the Queen's serious illness to seize power. She wanted to establish an image of being sensible and capable in the Emperor's mind by finding out the truth about Concubine Hua's death, and completely hold the power of the six palaces in her hands.

People in Lingrong's group felt that Concubine Jing was too rigid. She was pursuing a case that even the concubines didn't care about, and was simply the most terrible obstacle.

Especially Concubine Tian, ​​after all, she was the one who did it. Now she met Concubine Jing, who would not let go of any clues, and she seemed even more flustered.

As soon as she came out of Xianfu Palace, she couldn't wait to go to Chengqian Palace to find Lingrong and told her what Xia Dongchun said about someone seeing Xiao Dezi.

"Since Lady Xia promised you not to tell anyone, that person won't tell anyone." Ling Rong blinked her eyes and her tone seemed quite casual, which made Concubine Tian feel a little angry for no reason.

"This is an important matter, and you don't pay attention to it."

"Lady Xia is on the same boat with us, you can try to trust her a little." After all, it was not her fault, so Ling Rong had a particularly good attitude, "If you really don't believe it, you can only deal with that servant and Lady Xia as well.

But now is a time of trouble, and the emperor is investigating closely. If you continue to plot, you will only expose yourself completely."

"But I always feel uneasy, especially that Imperial Concubine Jing. Why does she keep talking about Imperial Concubine Hua all day long, as if they were very close sisters in the past."

"Even if she was anxious, she couldn't find any clues, right? She was just suspecting this and that, wasting her energy.

You might as well focus on the matter of Queen Chunyuan. The emperor has been investigating for a long time, and you should let Qin Silu show up and tell the emperor what happened back then."

Lingrong now realizes the joy of not having blood on her hands and letting others do the work.

In the past, what the Queen was best at was to order others to charge into battle, and she could use that little bit of illusory benefit to trap people tightly.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel better, and her tone became much gentler, "If I'm not mistaken, the matter His Majesty is investigating now is not about Concubine Hua falling into the water, so you don't have to worry, just wait to hand over the evidence you have collected to His Majesty.

As for where Chang Li is, I have already contacted her and learned some news.

If you need her to serve as a witness to prove that the Queen is the real murderer of Queen Chunyuan, she would be willing to do so.

only......"

Ling Rong acted as if she wanted to say something but hesitated, until Concubine Tian was so anxious that she almost jumped up and down, then she slowly added the second half of the sentence, "It's just that she wants to continue to raise the third prince."

"This is not a difficult matter," Concubine Tian let out a long sigh, "If I could become the queen, I would naturally ask the emperor to let the third prince return to his biological mother.

Besides, Li Changzai was in this situation because she plotted to murder me. I, the victim, have already forgiven her, so who would dare to stand up and oppose her?"

"Not bad, Concubine Tian now has the demeanor of being second to none and above everyone else."

Lingrong praised Concubine Tian generously, which made her more determined. She immediately wrote a letter and left the palace, asking her subordinates to send Qin Si under the emperor's nose.

Soon, Qin Si also entered the palace, but Lingrong and Tianpin learned the news a little later. However, everything went according to the predetermined plan in the end.

After interrogating Qin Si, the emperor went to Shoukang Palace. He sat opposite the empress dowager in silence for a long time before he asked about the incident with Queen Chunyuan.

The Empress Dowager originally thought that the Emperor was investigating the matter of Concubine Hua falling into the water with such great fanfare. After confirming that it was not the Queen's doing, the Empress Dowager did not send anyone to interfere and accompanied the Emperor to investigate.

Unexpectedly, the Emperor, under the guise of finding out the truth for Concubine Hua, was actually investigating the cause of Rouze's death in secret.

But the Queen Mother had been immersed in the harem for many years, so she naturally knew that the Emperor was testing whether she knew the whole story, so she immediately sighed and spoke of Rouze's good deeds in the past in a very gentle tone.

But Rouze's good points are her beauty, her talent, her dancing and her kindness. The mother and son did not get along well, so after just a few words they said nothing and fell into a long silence.

"I have found out some things about the truth behind Rouze's death."

The Queen Mother pretended not to know the truth and asked the Emperor in surprise what clues he had found.

"It's not just a clue, we already have solid evidence," the emperor looked at the queen mother intentionally, trying to see some clues from her expression, "the person who did this is Yixiu."

"Yixiu?" The Queen Mother's surprise was just right, and there was even a faint sense of falsehood. "Yixiu is Rouze's biological sister. How could she harm Rouze? This must be a misunderstanding, or maybe the person who provided testimony to the Emperor lied?"

"I have confirmed it again and again, and no one is lying. The servants who served in the mansion back then have also been found one by one. They know some of the things that happened back then, and by piecing together the facts, we can get the truth."

"Sometimes the truth that is pieced together is far from the truth," the Queen Mother advised the Emperor, "Don't be blinded by a large amount of information. The Emperor should know the importance of accurate judgment for an emperor."

"Of course I know and can do it. This time I sent people to investigate for a long time, just to find out the truth and not to wrongly accuse anyone.

At first, I didn't believe that Yixiu would murder her own sister. I thought someone had deliberately framed her.

But as the investigation deepened, I found that this could only have been done by Yixiu."

The emperor sighed deeply. He did not put all the evidence in front of the empress dowager because he did not think that the punishment of the queen required the empress dowager's approval.

Unfortunately, the Queen Mother did not think so. She asked the Emperor what evidence he had found, "Your Majesty, there is absolutely no way Yixiu and Rouze would kill each other."

“Of course it wasn’t a case of sisters killing each other, but Yixiu’s one-sided hatred that even harmed Rouze.

Empress Dowager, Rouze and Yixiu both call you aunt, so you should treat them both equally, right? "

The Empress Dowager immediately understood what the Emperor meant. In her eyes, the two sisters were just tools to maintain the glory of the Ulanara and Uya clans.

She doesn't favor anyone, but she would be more willing to give a good face to someone who is more obedient.

But now that Yixiu is the only one left, the empress dowager has no other choice but to turn a blind eye to what the queen does, and sometimes even has to clean up the queen's mess.

Now, there is a biggest mess in front of us, and the Queen Mother is starting to feel a headache just thinking about it.

You, the emperor, are killing your brothers, and your queens are killing their sisters. Doesn't this just prove that you two are the most suitable people in the world?

What is there to be unhappy about? What is there to investigate? If you have that in mind, why would Fourteen suffer the pain of guarding the mausoleum and not be able to serve me for a long time?

"Of course I treat Rouze and Yixiu the same, but what about you, Your Majesty? Do you treat Rouze and Yixiu the same?

If you find out today that it was Rouze who murdered Yixiu, will you find me and ask me not to say a word about it?"

"Madam, Rouze is different from Yixiu. She is my son's wife, while Yixiu is only the empress." The emperor sighed, looking nostalgic. "If it weren't for Yixiu's scheme, Rouze should have always been by my son's side. I wouldn't have chosen the wrong person and given all my love to her."

Faced with an emperor whose mind was filled with only love, the empress dowager could only try her best to suppress her anger and tell herself not to slap him in the face out of anger.

"The emperor seems to have determined that Yixiu did it." The queen mother did not want to discuss love with the emperor. She only had one goal now, which was to keep Yixiu as the queen. "Then has the emperor thought about how to deal with Yixiu?"

"I have not thought it through yet, and I came to Shoukang Palace in hesitation. Madam, how do you think I should punish Yixiu?"

Before she could even try to find out the answer, the emperor threw the question back to her. The empress dowager knew that the emperor was forcing her to express her opinion. If she insisted on saving Yixiu, she and her son would inevitably quarrel and become estranged from each other.

But if he didn't speak up to protect Yixiu, the emperor would most likely depose the queen and replace her with a concubine he liked.

In this way, all his hard work over the years would be in vain, and Ulanara and Uya would never be able to hold their heads up in the court again.

No, we must not allow this to happen. There is no mother-son relationship anyway, so it is not a pity if it is severed. Yixiu must be kept alive no matter what.

"I have always believed that it was not Yixiu who did this. But if the emperor really believes it, then I can only say that the punishment should not be too severe. After all, Yixiu is the queen, and the emperor must give her some face."
