An Lingrong's Rebirth: Red

Being accused of something for no reason, Concubine Xin was furious and annoyed, "You are talking nonsense. I just said something fair, but you are so suspicious and framing me. It shows that what you said is not credible at all."

"In the face of evidence, you still defend her like this! Lady Xin, could it be that Princess Shuhe's origins are the same as that of Lady Wan's bastard, and her path is not right?"

"Lady Qi!" Lady Xin was really anxious this time. It was fine if she slandered Lady Wan, but why did she even mention Shuhe? "You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want! Shuhe is the emperor's daughter, how can you pick on her here!"

Seeing Concubine Xin's pale face due to anger, Concubine Qi just laughed disdainfully and ignored Concubine Xin at all.

"Just stick to the facts and don't bring up other things."

The emperor's displeasure was obvious. Although he would not discipline these women too much and dare them to argue in front of him, such nonsense was against the rules. "After all, Concubine Xin is older than you. You should show her some respect!"

"I understand," Concubine Qi's eyes fell on the emperor's face, and her smile immediately became proud and a little shy, "Your Majesty, Kikyo is here, please ask her to come in."

The emperor was annoyed by the quarrel between the two people. When he heard the servant coming, he immediately raised his hand and called for her to come over, "Come in."

Kikyo was brought up by Jingtai. As soon as she saw the emperor, she immediately knelt beside Baizhi and kowtowed twice.

"Tell me, Kikyo, what do you see every day?"

Kikyo was the person bribed by Concubine Qi at the beginning. In fact, she had never seen any "affair" between Concubine Wan and the Fourth Prince. She just saw it more often.

This may not seem like a big deal, but Concubine Qi was determined to label Zhen Huan as an unfaithful person, so Angelica could only happily accept the benefit and come to provide evidence.

"On ordinary days, the Fourth Prince often comes to Yuedi Yunju to visit the young lady.

Sometimes they would bring books, and they would sit under a tree and read together. When my maid made some tea and went over, I would hear them talking about some poetry they were reading.

What is the beginning and end of the Yangtze River? I don't understand it at all. However, the two stopped smiling as soon as they saw me, and didn't start chatting again until I left. "

"You live at the head of the Yangtze River, and I live at the tail of the Yangtze River?" Concubine Tian was well-educated. When she heard Kikyo's reply, she almost immediately recited these two lines of poetry.

"Oh, you are indeed the Concubine Tian who is as good as Concubine Wan in Feihua Ling," Concubine Qi praised him half-heartedly, and the next moment she turned to the emperor, "I'm sure all the sisters are familiar with this poem.

The two of them now see each other every day and still express their longing for each other. They must be dissatisfied with the current situation that they cannot be together day and night, so they use this poem to convey their shameful emotions.

Kikyo, please tell me more, what else is there that Wan Guiren has done that is shameful to others?"

"This..." Kikyo seemed to be afraid, but after she glanced at Lady Qi, she immediately spoke, "This servant is just sweeping the yard. If it weren't for the young lady's order, I would not be qualified to enter the room.

One day it rained heavily and there were thunders. The young lady was very scared, so she called my servants and others to accompany her. Then my servants entered the young lady's bedroom.

But we didn't stay long because the Fourth Prince came in the rain and the young lady drove us all out.

After that, I never went to the young master's bedroom again, but I know that the fourth prince did not leave until the next day. "

"Look, the servants have been dismissed and the two of them are alone for the whole night!"

Concubine Qi deliberately looked at Concubine Xin and said this with a tone of disgust. Without waiting for the latter to react, she immediately looked at the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, now that the evidence is irrefutable, please order the punishment of Concubine Wan!"

Now Concubine Wan has been demoted to a commoner. Even though she has a child, the Emperor has never restored her status. Now Concubine Qi has found so many witnesses and evidence. Even if Zhen Huan were here today, I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to turn things around.

What's more, the child has not been born yet, so even a blood test cannot be done.

Lingrong deliberately chose this time to prepare this great gift for Zhen Huan - there were no good sisters, no familiar imperial physicians, and no children to bring for blood testing.

Can she turn the tables this time just by relying on the emperor's favor?

Lingrong looked at the emperor. He had stopped counting the beads with his hands. Although he was still angry, it was not as terrifying as in his previous life.

He did not speak for a long time, and the other people in Xianfu Palace did not even dare to breathe loudly. Even Concubine Jing just drank tea silently.

After a long time, the emperor finally spoke, "Put Baizhi and Jiegeng in jail for the time being. I will make a decision after I have consulted Hongli and Fangruo in two days."

With just one word from the emperor, the matter was delayed for a while. Concubine Qi was so anxious that she called out "emperor" three times, but failed to stop the emperor.

Concubine Qi stamped her feet and sat back in her seat angrily, the red color of anger on her face not fading for a long time.

"Now that the emperor is gone, this play can no longer be performed."

Concubine Xin had been rebuked by Concubine Qi before, and was almost slandered as a cheating woman. She was filled with infinite anger. Seeing Concubine Qi like this, she naturally felt sarcastic and said, "I'm afraid some people deliberately fabricated it so that the emperor would find it outrageous, so he left.

The emperor has retained his face, but some people just keep their tails between their legs and go back to the palace in shame.

Still embarrassing yourself here, it makes me want to laugh. "

"I think you are the one who is embarrassed, Concubine Xin." Concubine Qi has a bad temper and naturally will not lose out in verbal disputes.

She glanced at Kang Da Ying and Zhen Chang Zai, and they immediately responded, "Yes, there are witnesses and evidence, and what Wan Guiren did is known to everyone.

Now, only Concubine Xin, who is in cahoots with Concubine Wan, has to speak up to defend her.

It's a pity that the noble lady Wan, to whom you shamelessly stuck, has long been demoted to a commoner. Even if the illegitimate child is born, his status will not be raised.

I think some people's efforts are in vain, and they have left a bad impression on the emperor."

Kang Da Ying also responded. She called her sister, and then looked at Concubine Xin with pretended worry, "I'm afraid that Princess Shuhe will be implicated, but it's been so long since the incident happened. Even if the origin is unknown, it won't leave a handle like Concubine Wan did, and be exposed by a clear-headed noble."

"You are just making up lies! You are just a little concubine, can you slander the princess?!"

Concubine Xin pulled her handkerchief and almost stood up. She took two steps at a time and walked up to Concubine Kang. Before anyone could react, she slapped him in the face.

Kang Da Ying was beaten so hard that he was stunned. After a short scream, tears started to flow.

She tightly grasped Zhen Changzai's hand, covered her red cheeks, and called her sister twice.

"What are you doing!" Zhen Changzai was also impatient. Seeing Kang Da Ying being beaten, she immediately wanted to fight back, but Xin Guiren was prepared and quickly retreated to her position.

She even picked up the teacup and blew on it indifferently, then snorted with disdain, as if it was not her who had just hit someone.

"Your Highness! Concubine Xin slapped Kang Da Ying privately. Did you see it and do nothing about it?"

When Zhen Changzai realized that she couldn't respond to Concubine Xin, she immediately sought help from Concubine Jing. Kang Da Ying immediately understood and cried even harder.

This attitude was exactly like when Zhen Huan was slapped by Song Zhi when she first entered the palace, except that Zhen Huan couldn't hold back her tears because it was too painful, while Kang Da Ying was deliberately showing weakness to make herself cry even more miserably.

Imperial Concubine Jing originally didn't want to get involved in these matters today, but since it had come to her, she had no choice but to speak up and comfort her, "Imperial Concubine Xin was indeed wrong, but she was angry because of Princess Shuhe.

Kang Ying should also know that as a mother, her children are the flesh and blood of her heart. You are so outspoken and have been reprimanded by Concubine Xin. I can’t say much."

"That's not right, Imperial Concubine," Imperial Concubine Qi said sharply. Although she was talking to Imperial Concubine Jing, her eyes were looking at Imperial Concubine Xin. "Imperial Concubine Xin is just an Imperial Concubine. How can she have the authority to admonish the imperial concubines?

Even if Kang agreed to speak freely, a verbal warning would suffice. Slapping someone in the face and hurting him was a complete disregard for palace rules.

If there is no punishment, won't everyone feel offended and slap other concubines at will? ! "

What Concubine Qi said did make some sense. Even if Concubine Jing wanted to make amends for Concubine Xin, she felt a little speechless.

As for Lingrong and Concubine Tian, ​​they would not say anything to help. After all, they still had to watch Concubine Qi completely overthrow Zhen Huan. How could they bear to let her suffer a setback at this time?

Only Xia Dongchun was honest and honest. She curled her lips and said, "Zhen Changzai and Kang promised to slander the princess, and they just let it go like that?

If Concubine Xin hadn't slapped Kang Ying in the face to make him shut up, who knows what unpleasant words Kang Ying would have said.

If you ask me, I should give them another slap in the face to teach those talkative people a lesson! "

Yes, yes, yes, you are absolutely right. You just want to slap someone at will. You are worthy of being a family of bravery for generations. Lady Xia really lives up to the family style.

Ling Rong secretly rolled her eyes in her heart. In her previous life, Xia Dongchun wanted to teach her a lesson, but she was beaten to death by Concubine Hua.

You should be happy that you have not suffered such hardships in this life, but you actually came out to support Concubine Xin. You really don't know how to write the word death.

"Lady Xia, things are already chaotic enough now, you should not get involved." While no one was paying attention to Xia Dongchun, Ling Rong quickly spoke up and took over her words.

When Xia Dongchun saw Ling Rong's eyes, she immediately wilted, turned her face away and said, "I understand."

"Everyone is at fault in this matter," Imperial Concubine Jing said patiently, "Mrs. Kang and Concubine Zhen are slandering the princess, and Concubine Xin is ignoring palace rules.

But Concubine Xin did have some reasons after all, so I can't blame her too much.

How about this, we each copy the palace rules and reflect on ourselves, how about that? "

This punishment was better than nothing. Neither side was willing to speak up. Imperial Concubine Jing felt somewhat embarrassed. She looked at Lingrong and Concubine Tian, ​​"Sisters, what do you think of this judgment?"

"That's fair," Ling Rong said with a smile, "We've been busy for a long time today, I'm sure all the sisters are tired, why don't you take a break."

At this point, there was no point in arguing any further, and everyone agreed together, bowed and dispersed in twos and threes.

Lingrong was worried that Xia Dongchun would make trouble again, so she followed him this time. She was quite fast and finally caught up with him when they reached the Imperial Garden.

"You like to be a good person. It's obvious that Kang Zhen and the other two did something wrong."

Xia Dongchun was indeed still angry about what had just happened. That was right. After all, she was not someone who could stand being bullied. Once she felt the same way, she couldn't get over it.

"Of course they did something wrong, but didn't Concubine Xin slap them in public and humiliate them?

Do you think that by not asking you to speak, I am stopping you from supporting Concubine Xin?"

Ling Rong shook her head, looking very disappointed, "Noble Lady Xin has been labeled as Noble Lady Wan's faction by Noble Lady Qi. If Noble Lady Wan's affair is confirmed, she will inevitably be implicated.

What if you are considered to be a member of Zhen Huan's party because you speak up for justice and are implicated?

No matter how powerful Concubine Tian and I are, we can't change the emperor's opinion of you. Don't you think so?"

Ling Rong's words were clear and were spoken from the perspective of concern for Xia Dongchun, so Xia Dongchun was unable to refute them for a moment and could only mutter, "I understand."

"It's a good thing that you have a chivalrous heart. If you were born in the martial arts world, you would definitely be a chivalrous woman."

"Of course." Xia Dongchun raised her head happily, "You see clearly. If you think Kang Zhen and the other one are right, we can no longer be sisters."

"Yes, yes, for the sake of being sisters with the heroic Lady Xia, I will only think that you are doing the right thing."

"You're the one who knows how to say it," Xia Dongchun said angrily, and then changed the subject to mention the matter of Concubine Wan, "Do you think... Concubine Wan really had an affair with the Fourth Prince?"

"Even Concubine Xia doesn't know, how can I know?" Ling Rong shook her head and pretended not to know, "But with all the evidence, I'm afraid it must be true.

However, Concubine Qi was wrong today. Such a shameful thing should be reported to the Emperor in private.

But she ignored it and made it public in front of everyone, revealing that the concubine and the prince were having an affair, which made the emperor lose all face.

If the rumor spreads to everyone in the court, how will it end? Even if it is finally proven that Concubine Wan is indeed having an affair, Concubine Qi will no longer be favored. "

"Even I can see that the emperor is displeased with his attitude today, but Concubine Qi is in a difficult position and has no chance to stop."

"You're right, so this time... the best thing is to make sure she doesn't lose." Ling Rong was still smiling at first, but soon sighed, "But since it involves the Fourth Prince, even if this is true, I'm afraid there will be no result."

"No way? How can the emperor even tolerate this?" Xia Dongchun's voice was a little loud, and Mingyu was frightened so much that she hurriedly stopped her and told her to speak in a lower voice.
