An Lingrong's Rebirth: Red
Chapter 314 Stepping Stone
When it came to thinking of some solutions, several people were speechless.
Especially Xia Dongchun, she was not good at doing these things. At this time, she stretched her neck to look at the children in the yard, making it obvious that she wanted to play with them.
As for Concubine Tian, she was actually thinking, but she would occasionally look at Lingrong, hoping that Lingrong could come up with some useful ideas.
Although there are many methods, only a few can kill with one blow.
After all, Zhen Huan would never get pregnant again, and Concubine Qi had no chance to say "I want to report..."
How about adding some dirty things to the harem? Lingrong thought that in the previous life, Concubine Qi reported Zhen Huan and Wen Shichu, so how about reporting Zhen Huan and the Fourth Prince in this life?
Since it's just a report, there's no need to be so picky about the candidates.
It's just that Lingrong didn't find it easy to say this out loud, so she kept silent and let Concubine Tian say those nonsense words.
"Should we continue to talk about the matter between Zhen Huan and Prince Guo? After all, the Emperor was very angry because of this matter."
Concubine Tian also thought of the thing that annoyed the emperor the most about Zhen Huan, but she forgot one thing, that is, the person now was not Zhen Huan, but Nianhulu Wanwan.
"The fact that His Majesty can take her back proves that he doesn't care about this matter that much anymore. But I also find it very hard to understand why His Majesty can even swallow such anger."
Ling Rong didn't know whether to sigh that Zhen Huan was lucky or that the emperor really loved her. Anyway, the fact was already like that and there was no point in worrying about it.
"Perhaps the Emperor really likes Concubine Wan?" Seeing that Concubine Tian didn't say anything, Xia Dongchun added a sentence, but she was soon given a glare by Concubine Tian, so she had to shut up in dissatisfaction and stopped talking.
"If you can't think of a good solution, just shut up. No one will treat you as dumb. You will only say things that others don't like to hear, which is really disgusting!"
Xia Dongchun rolled her eyes. She was not a patient person, but Concubine Tian was a narrow-minded person, so she had to give in a little.
Ling Rong saw the interaction between the two people and just sat there quietly. It didn't matter whether the relationship between the two people was good or not, it was enough for them to be on good terms with each other.
Ling Rong had suffered enough from being ignored in her previous life, and now this is the state she likes the most and is most comfortable with.
"Whether what Lady Xia said is right or not, everything the Emperor does to Lady Wan now seems to be telling us that the one he loves the most right now is Zhen Huan.
So if we were to take action against her, I'm afraid the Emperor would do his best to investigate. It would be great if we could find out why the Emperor could forgive Concubine Wan."
"What else could it be? If you ask me, the emperor should just like her face!
I might as well scratch her face. I want to see what other tricks she has to seduce me."
Seducing the master with her foxy charm, such a familiar phrase, Ling Rong sighed in her heart, "Empress Tian is indeed ruthless in her actions, but it just disfigured her face. The imperial physician must have a way to remove the scars."
"Then make a deeper cut, or just set her on fire and burn her to death. That way, it will be over once and for all, and you won't have to look at her disgusting face again."
"With such a beautiful face, maybe you are the only one who can say it's disgusting." If I had a face like that, I don't know how easy my life would be.
"Why do you like her face too? Don't you feel sleepless at night looking at her?"
"It's not that exaggerated," Ling Rong was too lazy to waste words with Concubine Tian, "It's better to come up with a more appropriate solution at this moment."
"Of course I know I need to find a solution, but you have denied everything I said. So what good solution do you have now?"
"Tell me, if the Queen knew that not only was Zhen Huan given a surname, but the Emperor also gave her a child, would she feel that her position as Queen was in jeopardy?"
"Of course the Queen will be worried, but she is now trapped in Jingren Palace. Even if she wants to take action against Zhen Huan, she can't get out of Jingren Palace."
"Don't forget, Concubine Tian, you are now the one who has the power to assist the six palaces. Isn't it easy to help the queen to open a small hole?
Once this hole is opened, the Queen will try every means to contact the Queen Mother, and then pass this news to the Queen, and we can just wait for the Queen to take action."
Concubine Tian shook her head, strongly disagreeing with this idea, "What if the Queen doesn't want to take action? Or she just wants to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight?
Aren't we wasting our time and letting Zhen Huan become more powerful?"
Lingrong did not think about persuading Concubine Tian. After all, the way she really wanted to deal with Zhen Huan was more sinister, and she could not tell the two people in front of her.
“In that case, why don’t we split our forces into two groups, and Concubine Tian can use your more direct method.
I will try to contact the Empress and encourage her to deal with Zhen Huan. Anyway, I also have the power to assist the six palaces, and even if I am in the Old Summer Palace, I can reach into the Jingren Palace.
What do you think, Empress Tian? "
"If you can't think of a better way, this is the only way." Concubine Tian was obviously a little dissatisfied, but at this moment he couldn't think of any better way, so he could only let An Lingrong lead him by the nose.
Before leaving, Concubine Tian told Lingrong the Fucha clan's thoughts in a veiled way, "I will not send Zhen Huan any gifts, and you'd better not send any either, understand?"
Lingrong naturally had no intention of responding. She had no intention of giving Zhen Huan any gift. At most, she would just congratulate her during the next meeting.
After Concubine Tian and Xia Dongchun left, Tang Di immediately came in and told Ling Rong the news she had just learned, "The Fifth Prince sent someone here today to ask indirectly whether the Queen had sent a gift to Yuedi Yunju."
"I see." Ling Rong nodded and praised Tang Di a few times before sending him out. "It seems that Fifth Prince is really smart. He has thought of the same things that we have thought of."
"Go ask our people later where the Fifth Prince has sent people to get information."
"Your Majesty, do you think... that the Fifth Prince is looking for someone in the palace who can help him?"
"Yes, Yupin is far away from the palace and will never be able to return to the palace in this lifetime. Seeing that the Fourth Prince has found a favorite concubine to rely on, the Fifth Prince naturally became interested.
He inquired about the more secretive method, but he deliberately let Tang Di, a rough maid, know about it, obviously to show his ability to find a good "adoptive mother" for himself. "
"Even so, I don't think the Fifth Prince will choose the Queen as his adoptive mother." Zhaoshui said frankly, "After all, the Queen has the Eighth Prince, and the Fifth Prince will definitely feel that the Queen will not sincerely support him."
"You're right. The Fifth Prince is not a fool. Even if he doesn't choose us, he will send someone to take a look. He just wants to leave himself a way out.
But this way out really kept him alive. He didn’t choose me, but I wanted to choose him.”
"But Madam, we still have the Eighth Prince. Are you really not going to put all your hopes on him?"
“Hongyu is too young. By the time he grows up, I’m afraid the situation will have been settled.
Even if we want to promote him to that position, we can only be patient and find a suitable stepping stone for him."
"It turns out that the Fifth Prince is the stepping stone that the Empress prepared for the Eighth Prince. No wonder... no matter what the Fifth Prince says or does, the Empress will not be angry."
"How is Yupin doing? It will be time in about a month."
Zhao Shui calculated the time in his mind and quickly answered yes, "Is the time right, Madam?"
"It's appropriate. Don't worry."
After Ling Rong confirmed the time of Concubine Yu's death, she began to report back to the palace the news that Zhen Huan was given the Manchu surname and became the adoptive mother of the Fourth Prince.
However, this news was not for the Queen, but for the Queen Mother - after all, the Emperor did not discuss it with the Queen Mother in advance, and even deliberately concealed the news.
Presumably, the Emperor also knew that his actions would arouse the Empress Dowager's fierce opposition, and she might even ask the Emperor to release the Empress from Jingren Palace and no longer confine her to the palace.
The emperor may have wanted to give himself some time to deal with the discussions of the previous dynasty and the dissatisfaction of the harem, but Lingrong's actions brought the empress dowager's questioning ahead of time.
That day, the Emperor received the Empress Dowager's letter and was silent for a long time in front of Wan Fang'an. His continuous sighs made Su Peisheng feel creepy.
Along with the letter came the Empress Dowager. She did not stay in the palace on the grounds that she liked quietness, but instead came to the Old Summer Palace with great fanfare.
The emperor went to pay his respects that day, but the empress dowager deliberately kept her distance and rejected the emperor's greetings on the pretext of cleaning the palace.
If it were someone else, the emperor would have been furious, but facing the empress dowager, he could only hold back his anger and said he would wait until tomorrow.
However, the empress dowager seemed to have made up her mind not to see the emperor. No matter how many times the emperor came, the empress dowager always refused the emperor's greetings with very boring reasons.
On the contrary, Concubine Qi, Concubine Hai and others could visit the Queen Mother at any time, and even bring back generous rewards from time to time.
Lingrong also went to meet the Empress Dowager with Concubine Jing, Concubine Tian and others to discuss some matters concerning the harem.
It's just that things aren't going as smoothly for them as for Concubine Qi and the others. The Empress Dowager has mentioned the Queen openly and secretly, and the implicit meaning is very clear, that is, the Queen will "recover" sooner or later, and you are just temporary replacements, so it's normal that you can't handle palace affairs well.
Lingrong knew very well why the Empress Dowager's attitude changed, but she pretended not to know when she chatted privately with Concubine Tian, and even spoke out against the Empress Dowager's favoritism.
"If the queen comes out, it will be even more difficult for me to take the throne."
When Concubine Tian thought about having to endure the Queen again, she became furious. "One after another, they come to block my way. When will this end?"
This look was somewhat similar to the madness of his previous life. Ling Rong couldn't help but almost laughed out loud.
"Your method won't really get the queen out, right?"
"It would be better if the Queen came out, otherwise she would be guarded by the Emperor's men and we would have no chance to take action against her.
Are you going to allow Ulanara to live in Jingren Palace for the rest of her life with the title of Empress?
The emperor and the queen mother's intentions are very clear. They must not depose the queen. So there is only one choice left, which is to let her die of illness, Concubine Tian."
Lingrong leaned close to Concubine Tian's ear, lowered her voice, and spared no effort to encourage her, "This is just one chance. If you can defeat both the Queen and Zhen Huan at the same time, then the position of Queen can only be yours.
If you don't seize this opportunity and let the Queen or Concubine Wan take action first, then you will have to be subordinate to others for the rest of your life."
After saying this, Lingrong even intentionally gave Concubine Tian a smiling look, and that expression seemed to say, see, I knew you couldn't do it.
Concubine Tian was so angry that her teeth were itching. When she saw Lingrong's back, she suddenly realized that the timid and cowardly An Lingrong who had just entered the palace was long gone. She had now relied on herself to sit on the throne of concubine and was no longer a thug who obeyed her orders.
Or in other words... Concubine Tian shuddered violently. She had never been his thug. Everything he did was led by her.
Now, in dealing with the Queen and Zhen Huan, it seems that he is being led by her.
But it’s obvious...it’s obvious that I’m going to sit on the throne of queen?
"Your Majesty, Concubine Tian has been standing there without moving. Are you scared?"
Zhaoshui looked back quietly and saw that Concubine Tian's figure was getting farther and farther away, but it was obvious that she was standing there without moving.
"Don't worry about her. If she doesn't figure out how to scheme against others, she can only wait to be schemed against.
She keeps saying she wants to be the queen, but what is the result? How much has she accomplished so far?"
"Your Majesty, what you said sounds like a hint of disappointment."
Lingrong shook her head. She was just a little annoyed by Concubine Tian's stupidity. She was just a chess piece being used and she didn't care much about it at all.
In the harem, there are no friends or sisters, only pretending to be good. Fortunately, I pretended well and they all believed it.
Just keep believing it, it will be good for everyone.
Thinking of this, Ling Rong smiled again, "To be a queen, one must have the ability to convince others. If we keep helping her, she will be a fool all her life."
"...Actually, this is fine, Madam. If there is a puppet emperor, there will naturally be a puppet queen. Anyway, with Madam Tian's ability, I'm afraid she won't be able to hold on to that position."
“To be the queen, one can be without ability or favor, but one cannot be without family background, otherwise one will be of no help to the emperor.
However, Concubine Tian's family background was too high, and the emperor did not want her to take the throne at all. But her and Fucha's actions behind the scenes became more and more obvious, and the emperor had to think of a way to suppress their thoughts.
And Concubine Wan and the Fourth Prince were the pawns to suppress them, diverting Concubine Tian, Fucha's attention from taking the throne of empress to preventing Concubine Wan from taking the throne of empress.
This method can also give the emperor a break if the target is changed."
Zhaoshui seemed to understand. In her eyes, the emperor's best choice would still be to make Ulanara the queen. However, the emperor was unwilling to do so and would rather go to great lengths to instigate fights among the concubines.
