An Lingrong's Rebirth: Red

Since that day, the Emperor never entered the Queen's palace again. His original intention was to let the Queen out to take charge of the affairs of the harem, but he never thought that she would cause so much trouble on her first day.

Now that there is no empress dowager to pressure them, I'm afraid the situation will get worse.

The reason for this thought is actually that the emperor no longer trusts the queen, even though she once managed the harem in order, and even though she was once a "virtuous wife" in the emperor's eyes.

The Queen really calmed down, and seemed to be the same as before when she was confined in Jingren Palace, except that she needed to pay her respects to the Queen Mother every day.

At the same time, the Xianfu Palace, which was once crowded with people, became quiet again. Although Concubine Jing still had account books and palace affairs to deal with, she still felt that the Xianfu Palace was too quiet. It was no different from the time when she counted bricks and stones in the dark.

When Lingrong entered the room, she saw a scene that looked very much like the day she passed away. Her face was filled with despair.

"Sister." Ling Rong finally called out. Concubine Jing slowly turned her head and responded after a long time.

"My sister didn't go to pay her respects today, so I was a little worried, so I thought of coming to see you, but are you feeling unwell?"

"I'm fine," Concubine Jing did not hide it from Lingrong. She sighed and saw Lingrong sitting down before she spoke slowly, "It's just that I'm really not in the mood, sister. I'm not in the mood.

I only have one child, Hongyi, and now he has left, taking everything with him.

Sister, I am really tired and don’t want to look at these accounts anymore.”

Ling Rong picked up the account book on the table. She carefully looked at the increasingly messy handwriting and confirmed in her heart the current situation of Concubine Jing.

She put down the account book and ran her finger over a line of words, "Sister wrote something wrong here."

"Really? I'll change it later." Although Concubine Jing said this, she didn't even look at me. "Thank you for reminding me, sister."

Ling Rong was silent. She was thinking about how to cheer up Concubine Jing. It would do her no good to just sit there and hide in the position of Concubine Jing.

"Sister, Hongyi wouldn't want to see you like this. In his eyes, his mother is omnipotent."

"Sister, I know you are trying to comfort me, but I know in my heart that Hong Yi has left me and will never see his mother again.

Sometimes I wonder, if those nightmare-suppressing techniques exist, can ghosts also exist?

It’s a pity that I have never seen Hong Yi’s ghost. I guess when a person dies, it’s like a light goes out, and we can never find him again.”

Concubine Jing's tone was shadowy and sounded a bit scary, but Lingrong was not afraid. After all, she was much scarier than a ghost - a person who had been reborn, if she spoke out, Concubine Jing might temporarily forget her pain and ask Lingrong to find an imperial physician to check her brain.

"Maybe," Ling Rong's tone was full of hesitation. She looked at Concubine Jing, "The art of nightmare suppression still requires external forces. I guess it's the same when you see the dead."

The speaker has intention and the listener takes it seriously. Concubine Jing's eyes lit up. She had thought of this method before, but she didn't dare to do it or believe it.

Now that these words came out of Ling Rong's mouth, she subconsciously felt that this person knew how to tell her to "see a ghost".

"Sister, you know... do you know how to do this?"

Ling Rong shook her head. She certainly didn't know how to make this thing. If it were that easy, the harem would have been littered with corpses.

Only the Queen and Concubine Hua have succeeded in the art of nightmare. They are both powerful and influential, and no one knows what secrets they hold. Ling Rong cannot find out, so it would be difficult even if she wanted to use this method to plot.

The expectations that Concubine Jing had just raised were dashed again. She sighed and returned to her previous dejected state.

"Sister, even if we don't know if there is such a method yet, the years are long, so why not find something to do for yourself?"

Concubine Jing hummed, and seemed to have managed to perk up a little.

"What's more, the Sixth Prince's death is closely related to the prescription. If Sister can't find the motivation to keep working hard, why not find someone to hate?"

"Hate? Who can I hate? I used the prescription despite my sister and Doctor He's dissuasion. Hong Yi passed away under my meticulous care.

Sister, who else can I hate except myself? "

Concubine Jing smiled uncomfortably, wiping the thin tears from her face, "Hate the Queen? Concubine Chun has reasons to hate her, but I don't.

Do you hate the emperor? But he also cares about the Sixth Prince. He has found famous doctors all over the world to treat him. In the end, the emperor also came to accompany Hongyi and me.

Who else can I hate? The Queen Mother? But she is also seriously ill and has just summoned all the doctors away. Moreover, the Queen Mother has already passed away, so what is the point of hating her?"

After the death of the Seventh Prince, Concubine Jing had already thought through all these things. It was precisely because she had no one to hate that she became what she is now.

Lingrong didn't expect that she thought so clearly, and it was even difficult to provoke her with words and make her hate the Queen.

What a pity! Ling Rong sighed inwardly and put on an embarrassed look, "My sister was too sympathetic and made the wrong decision for a moment."

"My sister is not wrong. You are doing this for my own good."

Concubine Jing didn't take it seriously and didn't think Lingrong had any intention of sowing discord. She even forced herself to comfort Lingrong.

"No matter what, as long as you hold power, there is always a chance. My sister has already become a royal concubine, so it is not impossible for her to get pregnant again in the future.

Hong Yi is gentle and kind, he must want his sister to live a good life, so he wants to give birth to another brother or sister for him to accompany his sister instead. "

Concubine Jing was silent for a while, but finally nodded and picked up the account book.

Even if she didn't want the power, what would it matter? Who in her family wasn't a bloodsucker who needed her help every day? Even if Hong Yi passed away, wasn't there a letter after another delivered to the palace, with no words of comfort, and even the same advice to give birth to another child.

But my own body... because of my sexual intercourse problems, the emperor would leave every time he came to visit me. How could I have the chance to get pregnant again?

"It's easier said than done to get pregnant again."

"There is always a way. I remember that the Queen Mother gave me a love wine. I heard that it was quite effective. Maybe it can help you, sister?" Ling Rong said calmly. She smiled mischievously, "Why not ask the imperial physician? Sister, don't dwell on the past too much."

After Lingrong said a few words of comfort, she left Xianfu Palace. Zhaoshui was wondering all the way why his queen wanted to help Concubine Jing.

After all, if this imperial concubine continued to decline, his queen would have the opportunity to take the position of imperial concubine, and her life and status would be much better than today.

"Because a few days ago, we threatened the Empress." Ling Rong smiled brightly and pretended to be scared. "Concubine Tian is hard to tame, especially now that her appetite is getting bigger and bigger, she has become disobedient.

Just in case, we should have other allies, otherwise we don’t know when she will plot against us.”

"Fortunately, Concubine Tian has not taken the position of Queen yet, otherwise she would have abandoned you. If Concubine Tian is favored a little, she would have been infuriated."

"Yes, so you see, Concubine Tian doesn't seem to be a good candidate, but besides her, there is only Concubine Qi."

"Noble Lady Qi... is even worse," Zhaoshui shook her head. Compared to Noble Lady Qi, she disliked Noble Lady Qi even more. "If the Queen can raise the flag, wouldn't there be a chance?"

"Do you think everyone has a good life like Zhen? I am not favored by the emperor that much, otherwise the emperor would not have stopped coming to Chengqian Palace after the incident in Jingren Palace that day."

But if she gave up just like that, Ling Rong would certainly not be willing to do so. However, she still hadn't figured out how she could suppress everyone else.

Forget it, being the emperor's wife is not an easy job, just find a way to make Concubine Tian behave herself.

With her scheming, she would not be able to defeat herself even if she sat on the throne of Queen. Unless she used her power to oppress others directly like Concubine Hua, Lingrong would really be able to do whatever she wanted.

“Not to mention the Emperor, even Concubine Tian and Lady Xia have never come. They must be afraid of being implicated by Bai Zhi’s words. But the Emperor has clearly cleared the Empress’s grievances.

What's more, behind all these things, there is also the handiwork of Concubine Tian!"

"Why are you in such a hurry? Concubine Tian is actually busy with other things. Have you forgotten that Sang'er invited Doctor He to come over yesterday?"

Yesterday, He Anming was invited to the Yanx Palace, where he had a detailed conversation with Concubine Tian for a full hour before leaving. In the past few days, he has been busy researching something in the Imperial Hospital and did not even have time to take Youning's pulse. All of this was done by Wei Lin.

In this situation, Lingrong naturally guessed that Concubine Tian was doing something secretly, and this little action did not seem to be directed at her, but at the Queen Mother.

"Targeting the Empress? But in the past, Concubine Tian always consulted with the Empress before taking action. Why this time..."

"She has harmed the Queen Mother, so how could she care about a Queen? In her eyes, as long as she gets rid of the Queen, she can take the throne. She is extremely anxious.

Now that they have called Doctor He over, I'm afraid they just want to do what they did to the Queen Mother again."

Lingrong thought of the almond tea that the Queen had mentioned. She thought that Concubine Tian must have tampered with the diet and relied on He Anming's identity as the director of the Imperial Medical Bureau to successfully avoid the inspection of other imperial doctors.

However, the Empress Dowager was ill at that time, while the Empress was in good spirits and had even started contacting people from the imperial kitchen in the past few days. If he did not help, he would probably get evidence of Concubine Tian's guilt soon.

Lingrong did have some thoughts in mind. She decided to let Concubine Tian run into trouble on her own, even if it meant that both she and the Queen would suffer losses, so that the Queen would not see that she was in trouble and add insult to injury.

However, Lingrong did help in the death of the Empress Dowager. If Concubine Tian was really exposed, she would be in trouble.

Lingrong sighed heavily, and she leaned close to Zhaoshui's ear, "Go to Yanxi Palace and remind Concubine Tian about the almond tea. I suspect that she secretly added unprocessed raw bitter almonds to the almond tea for the empress dowager in the last few days.

Remind Concubine Tian that the Queen is already investigating and ask her to clean up the mess herself."

Zhaoshui was somewhat reluctant, and of course there was more worry mixed in, "Will Concubine Tian be worried that the Queen will take action? If we don't say it, Concubine Tian should be able to find out."

"Don't make such assumptions, Zhaoshui. Once the Empress Dowager's affairs are uncovered, the Emperor will not let anyone off."

"Yes, ma'am."

Zhaoshui did not hesitate any longer. After sending Lingrong back to Chengqian Palace, he went to Yanx Palace to ask to see Concubine Tian. Unfortunately, Concubine Tian did not want to see Zhaoshui and only sent a little maid to send Zhaoshui away.

Zhaoshui repeatedly emphasized that he had something important to discuss, but the little girl stubbornly refused to let him go. Zhaoshui was helpless and had to return to Chengqian Palace to think of a solution.

Lingrong had never expected that Concubine Tian had begun to refuse to meet with her servants. The Emperor was not in the Yanx Palace. She looked like this, could it be that she really wanted to break off ties with her?

"My lady, what should we do? The Concubine Tian refuses to see me, and that little girl refuses to pass the message in."

“I’ll talk to her in person tomorrow, but the account book is with Concubine Tian, ​​so I think it should have been dealt with long ago.

We just discovered that the Queen had contact with the Imperial Kitchen staff, so there is still time."

Lingrong believed in Concubine Tian's ability as a housekeeper. The minor flaws in the accounts must have been adjusted, but she didn't know whether those few people who knew about it had been dealt with cleanly.

After paying respects the next day, Lingrong told Concubine Tian about the almond matter. The latter raised an eyebrow in response, looking nonchalant.

"You don't have to worry about these things. I can handle them naturally." Concubine Tian casually dealt with Ling Rong and turned to leave. After taking two steps, she turned her head and stared at Ling Rong, "Don't tell others about it. If you like almond tea, I can ask my subordinates to bring it to you."

Ling Rong's eyes wandered over Concubine Tian, ​​and her silent look made people feel creepy. Concubine Tian frowned and subconsciously took a step back, "You, who are you showing this ghost look to? Have you dealt with Bai Zhi's matter? You caused me to not see the emperor for a long time, and I haven't settled the score with you yet!"

“Instead of dwelling on events that have already ended, it is better to take a long-term view and deal with the actions you have taken.

Almond tea can be toxic if not processed properly. Your Majesty, the Queen has already started contacting people from the imperial kitchen.

Wake up from your sweet dream of being favored. If this matter is exposed, the Queen will deal with you before you can deal with her!"

The more Ling Rong spoke, the closer she got to Concubine Tian. She pushed her back to the wall where she had nowhere to retreat, then she stopped and said, "I don't care what little tricks you are doing behind the scenes with He Anming, you have to deal with the past first.

Madam Tian Fei, you and I know a lot of each other's secrets. We are already tied together on the same boat. Don't do something stupid that will kill us both. Do you understand?"
