An Lingrong's Rebirth: Red
Chapter 330 The concubine wants to report
The Queen was naturally very clear about the efficacy of the prescription, but she was not willing to say it immediately. After all, she still wanted to sit with the Emperor for a while longer.
However, the emperor had little patience and looked displeased when he saw that the queen remained silent.
"I haven't seen Your Majesty for a long time. I was so upset that I forgot to reply for a moment." The Queen smiled, put down her teacup and spoke slowly, "I know a little bit. I wonder what Your Majesty wants to ask?"
"all."
The Queen failed to find out the Emperor's true intention, but based on the information she received, she could guess it almost exactly. However, she did not show it and told him everything except that question.
The emperor listened carefully, but still couldn't get the answer he wanted to hear. He frowned and asked with displeasure.
Although there were no palace servants around, the empress couldn't help but blush when she saw the emperor asking so directly, "I am not an imperial physician, and I only know a little about this situation.
But when my sister gave me this prescription, I also heard her say something, such as that after using this medicine, I still need to keep the emperor for a few more times to ensure the effect. "
"You said this medicine was given to you by Rouze?"
When the emperor heard that the queen wanted to shift the blame to Rouze, his displeasure became more and more obvious. He almost immediately felt that the queen was unrepentant and was deliberately making trouble.
"It doesn't matter who gave it to me," the queen said without further hesitation. She stroked her temples and said, "This prescription has caused me and Honghui a lot of trouble.
If Honghui could take care of himself as carefully as Hongyi, he would surely be by my side at this moment."
Honghui’s death is not only a thorn in the Queen’s heart, but also a thorn in the Emperor’s heart.
"If it weren't for that prescription, why would Honghui, Hongyi and even Honghui have to endure such suffering?
You have been reflecting on yourself in Jingren Palace for so long, but you still don't realize your mistakes at all?"
"I was indeed wrong. I trusted a villain and I didn't take good care of Honghui when I was exhausted.
My mistake was not protecting the prescription and letting it spread out, and my mistake was letting the emperor know what my sister had done at this moment."
The Queen's tone became increasingly sad, especially after seeing the Emperor's expression, she became even more unbearable.
It seemed that the empress had been locked up in the Jingren Palace for too long. Even when facing the emperor, she was not as docile as before. She began to talk about Rouze's past.
This includes the fact that Rouze already had someone in her heart, and the fact that Rouze danced on a snowy night. Naturally, it also includes how Rouze got pregnant by giving him this prescription, and how she got pregnant with the help of this prescription.
"At first, my sister was promised to someone else. I heard that the Empress Dowager promised that if I gave birth to a boy, she would recommend to you that I be made the wife.
She was extremely happy and said that I, like her, could become someone else's wife and that I didn't need to feel that my status as a concubine was low.
The Queen sighed, and since the Emperor didn't try to stop her, she continued, "It's a pity that I haven't gotten pregnant for a long time, so I'm a little anxious.
My sister happened to come to visit me and gave me this prescription. Not long after using it, she became pregnant.
It would be just as the Empress Dowager said, if the Emperor really promised me that if a boy was born, he would make me his legitimate wife.
I felt that I was valued by the Emperor and the Empress Dowager, and I was extremely happy. So when I was about six months pregnant, I invited my sister to come over.
Your Majesty, you know what happened next."
The queen forced a smile and looked at the emperor, but did not get the response she wanted from that face.
"Under the plum blossom tree on a snowy night, my sister is dressed gorgeously, and the royal dress made for a concubine makes her look even more beautiful than snow. Even a younger sister like me feels moved when I see her, let alone the emperor?
But at that time I didn’t understand why my sister had to dress up and dance in the garden?
She's clearly already promised to be with him, and she's clearly said that she's in love with him, so why is she trying to attract attention again?"
The emperor's face was a mixture of displeasure and anger, occasionally mixed with a bit of disbelief. Just by looking at the emperor's expression, the queen knew that the person in front of her had heard some of his words.
"This has nothing to do with Rouze. This is my decision."
"It turns out that sister's dress and posture were decided by the emperor," the queen deliberately misinterpreted the emperor's meaning, "No wonder she can wear the auspicious dress of the concubine. I guess it was the emperor who asked the empress dowager for it."
How could the emperor not know the problem, but he had ignored it until now, and wishfully believed that Rouze was in love with him and that was why she had gone to such great lengths to create a "first meeting".
Therefore, he ignored everything unusual, and even when the queen brought it up again, he was unwilling to admit it.
"These things have nothing to do with what I am asking."
"Of course it is related." The Queen lowered her voice, "Your Majesty, Queen Chunyuan, Concubine Jing, Concubine Chun and even Concubine Wan have all used that prescription.
His Majesty, if he just thinks carefully, he will know the answer, right?
Defilement of the harem is certainly a serious crime, but if it gets out, the royal family will also lose face.
I have heard that Zhen Huan's original name was Zhen Yuhuan, but she changed her name because she didn't like the word "玉". However, she could not give up the jade but the desire, and she would never be willing to stop there.
This child may be part of Zhen's conspiracy. Your Majesty, if you want to resolve this matter, I am willing to be the blade again."
The emperor finally left Jingren Palace in silence, and the heavy door closed again.
Through the crack in the door, the queen caught a glimpse of the emperor's back as he left, but from beginning to end, the emperor showed no intention of looking back.
The queen's heart finally fell into silence, and for a moment, she actually felt that it would be good to live in Jingren Palace for the rest of her life.
The emperor who was leaving also had turbulent feelings in his heart. He was not sure whether this feeling came from Rouze or from Zhen Huan.
Perhaps it was because the Queen had discovered the truth about Rou Ze's deliberate approach, or perhaps it was because he knew that Zhen Huan's baby might not be his own, but in any case, he felt a sense of depression in his chest.
Su Peisheng was confused and wanted to say something, but was worried that he had said something wrong. However, looking at the emperor's attitude, he thought that there really was something wrong with Concubine Wan's baby.
You can't say this casually. Su Peisheng sighed in his heart, put on a humble attitude and followed slowly.
The more you talk, the more mistakes you make. It’s better to say nothing.
The emperor walked in silence all the way and stopped when passing by Chengqian Palace. He hesitated for a while and then stepped into the gate of Chengqian Palace.
At this moment, Ling Rong still didn't know anything about Zhen Huan. Although all this was instructed by her, she didn't dare to be sure until she got an earnest answer from He Anming.
But she didn't expect that the emperor came to Chengqian Palace before He Anming, with a cold look on his face, as if someone owed him a life.
Lingrong looked at Su Peisheng behind the emperor, but Su Peisheng just shook his head, looking like he didn't know what was going on.
What should I do? Ling Rong thought as she squatted down and saluted, "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you."
"Get up." The emperor's tone was not very good. He glanced past Lingrong and walked towards Chengqian Palace on his own.
This made Lingrong have no choice but to hurry up and follow, while asking someone to fetch water and make some more tea.
The emperor had a gloomy face and did not say a word for a long time. Lingrong stayed by his side until the tea came. Then Lingrong took the opportunity to speak to the emperor.
"The emperor has been looking sullen since I entered Chengqian Palace. Could it be that I have done something to anger him?" Lingrong picked up the teacup and offered it to the emperor with both hands. "If I have done something wrong, please forgive me for the sake of this cup of tea."
The emperor's expression changed after hearing this, but his anger remained and would not change because of one or two witty remarks.
"What kind of face can tea have? You might as well say it's for your sake."
"How can I relieve your worries? Only Du Kang can do that. I don't have any wine here, so I can only use tea instead of wine to relieve your worries.
The credit goes to tea, so of course it’s because of tea.”
"You are the one who speaks." The emperor took the tea and told Lingrong to sit back quickly. "I... I haven't seen Youning and Hongyu for a long time. I came to see them."
Lingrong did not expect that the emperor would say after a long while that he wanted to go see the two children. Anyway, after seeing the children, he would say what he wanted to say sooner or later.
But this time Lingrong guessed wrong. After the emperor saw the two children, he took Su Peisheng back to the Yangxin Palace, as if there was really no other reason.
It was not until He Anming came the next day that Ling Rong realized that it was all because of Zhen Huan.
"I have already conveyed everything that the Majesty has ordered to the Emperor. I'm sure the Emperor has become suspicious, otherwise he wouldn't have visited so many of the Majesty's residences."
Concubine Jing, Concubine Chun, and the Queen have all used that prescription. It seems that the Emperor was not satisfied with the answer he got, which is why he was so angry just now.
But Lingrong still couldn't figure out why the emperor came to Chengqian Palace to see the two children yesterday. Could it be that he was worried that Youning and Hongyu would not grow up either?
Bah, bah, bah, thinking about this kind of thing is really damn annoying.
Lingrong wished she could be a scarecrow of the emperor and poke him with it, so that he wouldn't be thinking about annoying things every day.
"Sister Shengfei, what do you think about this matter?"
Ling Rong was called back to her senses by Concubine Jing, but she didn't hear clearly what was discussed just now. "I didn't sleep well last night, and my mind was wandering just now. What did my sister ask?"
"It's about Niuhulu. She's pregnant now. Is it not a good idea to ask her to stay in Yuanmingyuan?
Everyone holds opposite opinions, and my sister hasn't said anything for a long time. Why not analyze it and see which decision is better?"
Ling Rong blinked her eyes and hesitated for a moment, "Niuhulu was demoted to a commoner and imprisoned in the cold palace. This was the order of the emperor.
In this matter, it still depends on the emperor's opinion. No matter how many ideas we come up with, it will be in vain if the emperor does not approve. "
"Yes," Concubine Qi immediately replied, "What's more, there is a pregnancy in the cold palace, and we don't know if it is... If we bring her back to the Forbidden City, I'm afraid it will pollute the royal bloodline."
"Mr. Qi! Don't speak nonsense in front of everyone without any basis!"
Concubine Jing glanced over, and no matter how unwilling Concubine Qi was, she had to shut up.
But she always felt that Zhen Huan's baby was not from a legitimate family, and she didn't know whose bastard it was.
Is he the guard of the Moon Land Cloud Residence? Or the horse trainer at the stable? Or maybe...
Concubine Qi suddenly widened her eyes because she thought of a very suspicious but very likely person - the Fourth Prince!
This is this...
Lady Qi clenched her fingers. The Fourth Prince was nominally the son of that bitch. How could they...how could they...
But if this matter were to be exposed, she, Zhen Huan, would never be able to turn things around. A father who likes to take concubines secretly, and a daughter who likes to have affairs with men, they are truly worthy of being members of the Zhen family!
Having made up her mind, Concubine Qi began to look for evidence, from the frequency of the Fourth Prince's visits to Yuedi Yunju, to Zhen Huan's various concerns for the Fourth Prince, and even small matters such as bringing soup and wiping sweat when learning horse riding and archery.
The only pity is that I can only bribe a palace maid who has been cleaning Diyunju for a month to be a witness. If it was Fangruo or Baizhi, wouldn’t it be more perfect?
What Concubine Qi didn't expect was that two days later, Bai Zhi, whom she had contacted, actually responded and said that she was willing to come forward to testify and expose the affair between Concubine Wan and the Fourth Prince.
Concubine Qi, who was overwhelmed by joy, never thought that Bai Zhi might have come out on the orders of others. She thought she was generous enough to get such a "treasure".
After everything was ready, Noble Lady Qi found Noble Concubine Jing. She mysteriously asked Noble Concubine Jing to call all the concubines in the palace to Xianfu Palace, saying that she wanted to announce an important event.
Lingrong sat in the upper seat, and in a trance she felt as if she had returned to her previous life. Concubine Qi stood in the middle, smiling as she said something familiar.
"I want to report the concubine Wan Guiren for having an affair and defiling the harem. She is guilty of a crime that cannot be forgiven!"
"This..." Concubine Jing was shocked by these words. She looked at Ling Rong with a look of surprise that didn't seem fake at all.
"Lady Qi, the palace rules are very strict, you must not make such nonsense!"
Concubine Qi's eyes moved around the faces of everyone, and finally fixed on Concubine Jing's face and spoke slowly, "If I say even a word of falsehood, I will be struck by lightning and will never be able to be reborn!"
Lingrong felt a little regretful at this time that Ye Lan'yi was not there, otherwise, even if she and Zhen Huan did not get along, she would probably mock her and say something like a poisonous oath.
But at this time everyone in the harem was shocked. Kang Da Ying and Hai Chang Zai, who were from Concubine Qi's party, both widened their eyes. It seemed that they didn't know about this beforehand.
"This..." Ling Rong glanced at Concubine Qi and slowly smiled, "I thought it was some kind of poisonous oath. Matters of life and death are inherently false. Even if Concubine Qi is lying, it is hard to count."
Noble Lady Qi wanted to glare at Ling Rong fiercely, but because Ling Rong was a concubine, she could only curl her lips and raise three fingers to swear to everyone again, "I am willing to swear on the Guaerjia clan that if I tell a lie, I will be exiled three thousand miles away like that Zhen clan, and my entire clan will end up without descendants!"
