An Lingrong's Rebirth: Red

Thanks to the emperor's intervention, the real culprit in Wen Yi's case was quickly identified.

The emperor punished and rewarded Chun Yingying and Jinpin respectively. Although he did not send Chun Yingying to the cold palace, he took away her right to raise the Seventh Prince, which was still fair.

Chun Da Ying cried uncontrollably on the day the Seventh Prince was taken away. She held on to the child desperately, wanting the Seventh Prince to stay by her side.

The Seventh Prince also cried bitterly, not wanting to leave his mother. But the Emperor's men did not care about their tears, and after quickly separating the two, they hurried to report to the Emperor.

The door of Shuiyuxuan was quickly closed. Chun Dantian watched the Seventh Prince leave her. Even if she wanted to chase him, she didn't dare to go out.

Cao Qinmo stood outside Shuiyuxuan. She watched all this happen silently, without any expression of sadness or happiness on her face.

Yinxiu came over carrying Wen Yi. Wen Yi's face finally regained its rosy color, but he still looked a little listless and lacked energy.

"Eniang."

"What's wrong, Wen Yi?" Cao Qinmo immediately put on a gentle smile. She stroked Wen Yi's cheek and asked, "Are you feeling suffocated sitting in the hall?"

"Yes, I want to find my sister." Wen Yi nodded. She hugged Cao Qinmo's neck and rubbed her cheek against it. "Mother, were you unhappy just now? Was it because of Wen Yi?"

"Of course not. Mother will only feel happy to see you." Cao Qinmo patiently coaxed Wen Yi and told her why she was here. She pointed to the tightly closed door of Suiyuxuan and said, "It's your Empress Chun inside. She will be under house arrest today. Mother wanted to come and see her."

Wen Yi had no impression of this Empress Chun. She nodded and asked, "Did you see her, mother?"

"I saw her. She's not quite the same as I imagined, but she'll be the same in the future." Cao Qinmo's smile deepened. She put Wen Yi down and held her hand. "Mother will take you to Chengqian Palace to find your sister, okay?"

As soon as the two arrived at Chengqian Palace, Youning ran out to greet them. The two children went to the side hall to play hand in hand, leaving Lingrong and Cao Qinmo sitting under a tree and chatting.

"Congratulations, sister, on your new title."

"I got this title because of the suffering Wen Yi went through," Cao Qinmo shook her head, "Sister, I would rather not have this title."

"Jin is a good word. Jin means gold. It takes a lot of effort to make it, and its price is like gold.

This proves that Wen Yi and her sister are more valuable than gold in the eyes of the emperor."

Lingrong actually didn't understand the emperor's intention in bestowing this word, but it was always right to praise.

Who knows, Cao Qinmo shook her head, "Jin is forbidden, the emperor wants to let Wen Yi's matter be resolved as soon as possible, and not to cause any more trouble."

This meaning was something Lingrong had not expected. She was quite curious about what the emperor had said when he went to Qixiang Palace that day.

Cao Qinmo did not hide it, "The emperor did not say anything, as soon as he entered Qixiang Palace, he asked me to demote Concubine Chun and send the Seventh Prince to be raised by the princes.

What else can I say? I can only say that mother and child are connected by heart, and advise the emperor not to separate them."

"My sister is kind-hearted."

"Good-hearted? I wish they could separate immediately, but in the eyes of the emperor, I am a loving mother. How could a loving mother separate a mother and her child?

Fortunately, the emperor had made up his mind. He insisted on doing so and said that this was compensation for Wen Yi.

Sister, don’t you think it’s funny? The compensation for Wen Yi is to ask the Seventh Prince to leave his mother. What kind of compensation is this?

This is just the punishment that they and their son deserve, and it shouldn’t be Wen Yi’s compensation at all!”

Cao Qinmo's chest heaved, and she was obviously a little annoyed. Lingrong did not comfort her directly, but just sighed along with her.

After all, the emperor has always handled things this way. Apart from Zhen Huan, I have never seen him try so hard to compensate anyone else.

Lingrong sometimes wondered, wasn’t that silver needle Yinzhen?

He thought that the silver needle that pierced Wen Yi's body was used by someone to murder the princess, but in fact it was his own neglect of the child that became the sharp blade that pierced the child's chest.

Which child in this palace has not been plotted against? But as the emperor, doesn't he always comfort her for a day or two and then get busy favoring other concubines?

But Lingrong didn't dare to say this. Even though the person in front of her was Cao Qinmo who had just expressed her true feelings, she had to keep her mouth shut.

"Sister, compensation or something doesn't really matter, but if this vengeance is not avenged, it will linger in my heart for the rest of my life."

"Yeah, we have to find a way..." Cao Qinmo fell into deep thought. Ling Rong didn't want to get involved too much, so she went to play with the two little girls and taught them how to collect flower petals, process the flower petals, and finally put them into sachets to keep the fragrance for a long time.

After a while, Cao Qinmo followed. She followed silently to collect the petals. After a long time, she spoke again, "Sheng...sister, I want to ask you for a favor."

"Sister, you don't have to be so polite to me. As long as I can do it, I will do my best."

"It's not a big deal," Cao Qinmo hesitated, "I want to know the patrol and guard times of the Sui Yu Xuan guards. The more detailed the better."

Ling Rong looked at Cao Qinmo deeply. She knew what Cao Qinmo wanted to do and was happy to open this convenient door. "Okay, I understand. Sister, just come to Chengqian Palace again in a few days."

"Thank you sister."

"There's no need to be so polite between you and me." Ling Rong smiled and said, "This is actually a small matter for me, but sister, don't rush into some things. I'm afraid the emperor will suspect you."

"I understand, sister. One month is enough time for me to prepare."

"Sister, you are smart, so I won't try to comfort you any more. In a few days, the Imperial Hospital will train new female doctors, and you can let Yinxiu go and learn from them."

Cao Qinmo was silent for a long while. She was actually very conflicted about whether she should have a female doctor by her side. After all, if it weren't for the water, the silver needles on Wen Yi's body would not be discovered.

However, if he had someone who knew medical skills by his side, it would be easier for him to be bribed and harmed without leaving any trace. Cao Qinmo did not dare to take the risk of letting someone around him learn medical skills.

"I also want to ask Yinxiu's opinion. We can't just be the masters and be enthusiastic. She also needs to be willing to learn."

Lingrong glanced at Yinxiu not far away. She understood Cao Qinmo's hesitation very well, but her face showed no emotion. "Sister is right. We should ask Yinxiu's opinion. We can't just arrange their future in the name of doing good for them."

"Yeah..." Cao Qin murmured, "Why did my sister let Zhaoshui study medicine?"

“Zhaoshui likes to learn, and she saved Concubine Tian at that time, and the court and harem were in a mess, so it’s better to be open and honest and send her to the Imperial Hospital to learn.

After all, the concubines are all women, and the imperial doctors in the Imperial Medical Bureau are all men, so it is often inconvenient to diagnose illnesses. It is better to have a female doctor around.

I also plan to train one for Youning. Youning will need a companion when studying, so I will pick one who wants to study medicine and train him from a young age."

Ling Rong looked at Wen Yi and sighed deliberately, "I am still worried about Wen Yi's incident, so I should prepare a way out for You Ning."

Cao Qinmo thought of Wen Yi's suffering, and her worries surged into her mind again. "Wen Yi will go to my brother's school next year to learn to read and write. I have to pay attention to the matter of accompanying him in study."

"Yes, fortunately Wen Yi can return to Qixiang Palace after studying every day, so my sister and I won't be separated for too long."

Lingrong did not continue to persuade Cao Qinmo. Cao Qinmo would do anything that was good for Wen Yi. Lingrong did not need to remind her. "If you need my help, just ask me."

Cao Qinmo nodded, and the two of them talked intimately like sisters for a long time, as if they were close friends of many years.

Ling Rong did sort out the situation of the guards of Sui Yuxuan for Cao Qinmo afterwards. Cao Qinmo copied a copy and left without telling Ling Rong how she was going to do it.

Lingrong and Chun Da Ying are only at odds with each other verbally now, so there is naturally no reason to harm her, but Lingrong will not help Chun Da Ying either. It is better to get rid of someone who is destined not to be her ally as soon as possible.

After nearly half a month, Cao Qinmo still hadn't taken action, or rather, she had already taken action but it hadn't shown yet.

That Concubine Wan couldn't stay in Yongshou Palace anymore. She came to Xianfu Palace early to discuss matters that day. I don't know what she talked about with Concubine Jing.

Lingrong arrived a little later and saw Zhen Huan holding Concubine Jing intimately, and the two of them were laughing very happily.

"Lingrong, you're here." Concubine Jing spoke first, stopping Lingrong from saluting, "You're a little late today."

"Sister prepared too early." Ling Rong laughed and joked. Her eyes fell on Zhen Huan who was sitting on the side and did not immediately bow. "Wan Chang Zai came earlier than me."

"I pay my respects to Concubine Sheng. May Concubine Sheng be blessed with good health."

"You haven't left the palace for a long time. I thought you didn't know I was appointed as a concubine." Ling Rong smiled and waited for a while before she told Zhen Huan to get up. "Get up. You are not feeling well. I am afraid the emperor will feel bad."

"Empress Sheng, you're joking." Zhen Huan smiled without changing her expression. After several months of recuperation, her appearance had almost recovered, except for the skin on her hands, which had become enlarged and rough due to long-term washing. It had never recovered.

Zhen Huan folded her hands and covered them with a handkerchief, not wanting anyone to see even a single bit of them.

"You have been ill since entering the palace. Now you can finally go out for a walk, but there are not many acquaintances here. I guess you can't recognize them all."

Zhen Huan's current identity is no longer the eldest daughter of the Zhen family, Concubine Xu, but Concubine Wan who entered the palace at the same time. She can only pretend that she has just recovered from an illness and act with Ling Rong tacitly.

"Yes, it has been a long time since I last saw you sisters. Now, apart from Concubine Jing, I don't even have anyone to be close to."

Zhen Huan pretended to be sad. She wiped her tears and said, "I also want to thank Sister Jing for taking care of me. I am not too lonely."

Imperial Concubine Jing also smiled awkwardly, "You're welcome. If you hadn't refused to see guests, I would have met many sisters."

Lingrong looked at Concubine Jing mischievously, and her eyes seemed to be saying, it turns out that you and Concubine Wan are good sisters.

"Speaking of good sisters, the ones that Wan Changzai is most familiar with are Hui Guiren and Chun Yida, right?"

When Zhen Huan heard Shen Meizhuang's name, her face turned pale. "Empress Sheng, you remembered it wrongly. I am not familiar with them. I fell ill when I entered the palace. Only Empress Jing Guifei took care of me from time to time."

Hearing Zhen Huan's cover-up, Ling Rong almost laughed out loud. She didn't expect that Zhen Huan really accepted the identity of the so-called Wan Changzai and no longer considered herself Zhen Huan.

"There are no outsiders here, so you are not willing to speak frankly?"

Zhen Huan shook her head and managed to maintain a decent smile, "I don't understand what Concubine Sheng is saying."

"It seems that you are really Wan Changzai and not Xu Guiren." Lingrong smiled sarcastically, and she sighed deliberately, "Zhen Shi once had an affair with Prince Guo and was expelled from the palace. Now she is still praying in Ganlu Temple.

Wan Changzai, you must take this as a warning and don't repeat the mistakes of the Zhen family. "

Zhen Huan clenched her handkerchief tightly. She pretended to be calm on her face, but she was about to hate Ling Rong in her heart. "I am grateful for your advice, but the matter of Zhen's has not been thoroughly investigated. Your Majesty, please don't talk about hearsay.

Affecting a woman's reputation will cause great trouble."

As soon as Zhen Huan finished speaking, Concubine Tian and Xia Dongchun walked in. She looked Zhen Huan up and down and gave her a very sarcastic smile.

"Oh, this sister looks unfamiliar. Is she the new maid that the Emperor has taken into the harem?"

When Zhen Huan heard Concubine Tian compare herself to a palace maid, she frowned, but she dared not refute directly. She could only perform the etiquette obediently and say that she was Concubine Wan.

"Hey, are you well now?" Concubine Tian covered her nose with disdain and even fanned it with her hand in an exaggerated way, "Don't pass on your bad luck to everyone, really, why don't you think about everyone?"

Concubine Tian's disgusted look didn't seem like she was acting. When she saw Zhen Huan showing a little bit of displeasure, she began to frown, "What? Do you have any objections?"

"I dare not." A higher-ranking official can crush a person, not to mention that this is in the harem. Even if Zhen Huan really has a temper, she will not express it in front of everyone. "Empress Tian, ​​please do not argue with me."

"What if I want to argue with you?"

Concubine Tian was a person who would not give in even if she was right. In her previous life, she dared to instigate Concubine Qi to slap Zhen Huan in the face. In this life, she dared to do it herself. "You are a concubine, and I am a concubine. What's more, I have the power to assist in managing the six palaces, so it is reasonable for me to admonish the concubines.

I just said I was concerned about your health, but you dared to give me the cold shoulder, Concubine Wan, have you been ill for so long that your brain has also been damaged?"

"My Lady Concubine Tian, ​​I have never been disrespectful. My Lady Concubine Jing and Lady Concubine Sheng are here today and can testify for me. May I ask if I have ever said anything against you?

Your Majesty is concerned about my health, and I am grateful to you so much that I don’t even want to be unhappy.

"Your Highness, although you have the power to admonish the concubines, you must also be reasonable, right? You casually accuse me of disrespect and insult me ​​for being stupid. I cannot accept such humiliation!"
