An Lingrong's Rebirth: Red

Chapter 353 Familiar Barley Soup

Although Prince Guo's actions were covert, after seven or eight days of investigation, Guarjia Emin finally discovered the clues.

Although he discovered some clues, he didn't know what Prince Guo was investigating. He sent a visiting card hoping to find out something, but was rejected directly by Prince Guo.

As a result, Guaerjia Emin felt even more confused, and even began to suspect that someone had reported him to the emperor, which was why Prince Guo was so strange and was secretly investigating him.

But of course she couldn't ask the emperor this question. After thinking it over, Guaerjia Emin decided to contact her daughter first. Once the wind of tenderness blew, the emperor might tell her everything.

On the day the letter was delivered, the emperor had already had dinner at Lingrong's Chengqian Palace. According to the emperor's wishes, he would stay with Lingrong today.

But Concubine Qi did not care about Lingrong's face. When she heard that her father had something to ask for, she immediately sent her personal maid Jingtai to Chengqian Palace and asked her to invite the emperor to Yanxi Palace no matter what the reason was.

Jingtai came here following the order, and now she and Zhaoshui looked at each other. Although she was too embarrassed to speak, Zhaoshui already knew her purpose.

"Jingtai, the emperor is in Chengqian Palace now, so it is really inconvenient for my queen to see you.

If you have anything to say, you can tell me first, and I will inform you immediately when you are free."

"To be honest, sister," Jingtai forced a smile, with a look of embarrassment, "I didn't come here today to look for Concubine Sheng, but to ask to see the Emperor.

After I went to the Yangxin Palace, I heard that the emperor was in Chengqian Palace, so I came here to ask for an audience."

"You don't need to explain the reason," Zhaoshui raised her hand to interrupt Jingtai's words, she still had a smile on her face, "Sister Jingtai, I have just said that it is inconvenient to see you at this time, whether it is the Queen or the Emperor.

If you have any problem, you might as well tell me. If I can help you solve it, you can go back earlier and report to the noble lady Qi."

"Sister, you really can't solve this problem. You need to see the emperor."

Jingtai naturally refused to speak. She knew that it was difficult to ask and no one was willing to give away the grace they had obtained, but her mistress had given the order, so this matter had to be completed today.

"Good sister, please inform them for me."

"Sister, the Emperor is chatting with the Empress right now, and if I report it without reason, I will be blamed.

If your reasons are not reasonable and necessary, why would I take such a risk? "

Jingtai rolled his eyes, and she sighed, pretending to be sad, "My young master has had chest discomfort since she woke up in the morning, and she has been thinking about it and feeling anxious.

I had a good sleep at noon, but was suddenly awakened by heartache.

But the imperial physician was called in, but he could not find out the cause. I thought that the imperial physician might have missed something and could not diagnose the cause.

By the evening, the disease had become more serious and the young lady was bedridden.

My sister was really worried about the young lady's safety, so she was eager to see the emperor.

Sister Zhaoshui, human life is at stake, please be flexible!"

As Jingtai spoke, she took out her handkerchief to wipe her tears, but when she saw no comfort from Zhaoshui for a long time, she raised her head and looked into Zhaoshui's eyes without shedding a single tear.

"Sister Zhao Shui."

Zhaoshui sighed. How could she refuse to report it when her master's life was threatened?

If something really happened, it would be a small matter for me to be punished, but it would be a big matter if the Empress was implicated.

But looking at Jingtai's expression, Zhaoshui knew that this was just a lie she made up and it didn't have much truth to it, but he still had to deal with it carefully.

"Who is the imperial physician we invited today?"

Zhaoshui suddenly spoke, and Jingtai was caught off guard by the question, and the first thing he mentioned was Doctor Zhou.

"Imperial Physician Zhou? Imperial Physician Zhou is the emperor's most trusted physician. How could he not find any cause of the disease?"

"Yes... yes, Sister Zhaoshui." Jingtai hesitated for only a moment, then insisted that it was Doctor Zhou who failed to find the cause of the disease. "The young lady is in great pain right now. When my sister came out, she was still crying in pain on the couch."

"It's such a serious illness," Zhaoshui showed concern, she grabbed Jingtai and said, "The emperor is not an imperial physician, and he doesn't know how to diagnose illnesses. For Concubine Qi's serious illness, it is most important to find an imperial physician.

Then, I will accompany you to the Imperial Hospital and invite all the imperial doctors to diagnose Concubine Qi. If the imperial doctors still cannot find the cause of the disease,

Then inform the emperor that it will not be too late to summon all the great doctors in the world to the palace."

Seeing Jingtai's hesitation, Zhaoshui ordered Mujin to look after Chengqian Palace and half-pulled and half-dragged Jingtai away.

Jingtai wanted to struggle all the way, but Zhaoshui was very strong, and not only did he not let her break free, but he held her tighter and tighter, and did not let go until he dragged her to the Imperial Garden.

"Sister Zhaoshui, our young master is ill and could be in danger of death at any time. She just wants to see the emperor, why do you keep stopping her?!"

"Jingtai, how can you say that?" Zhaoshui said innocently, "When you are sick, it is most important to find a royal doctor. The emperor is not a royal doctor, so how can he cure Concubine Qi's health?

If you delay like this, aren't you putting Concubine Qi in danger?

If anything goes wrong, both you and I will lose our heads!"

Jingtai was interrupted and opened his mouth but didn't know how to say anything in rebuttal. Zhaoshui ignored her and pulled her away again.

But this time he changed direction and went straight to the Imperial Hospital to see the imperial physician.

Jingtai kept saying that the young lady had already consulted the imperial physician, but Zhaoshui used the excuse that one should not be afraid of seeing a doctor and dragged Jingtai along, actually asking her to take the person to the imperial hospital.

He Anming happened to go out to take the pulse of Concubine Xia. When he saw Zhaoshui in a hurry, he thought something big had happened in Chengqian Palace.

"Miss Zhaoshui, what's going on? Is Concubine Sheng feeling unwell?"

Zhaoshui shook her head. She had been running fast with Jingtai, and she was extremely tired. She took a deep breath before stating her purpose.

"It's Concubine Qi. Jingtai said that Concubine Qi is in great pain and her life may be in danger at any time.

I thought her life was in danger and it was best not to delay, so I brought her here to see the imperial doctors first, and then asked the emperor to move her to Chuxiu Palace."

"The other imperial doctors are here. I need to go to the Yanxi Palace first. The two girls should see Concubine Qi with the other imperial doctors first. I will go later."

Just from Zhaoshui's narration, He Anming knew that this was another way for the harem to compete for favor, so he still followed his original plan and went to check on Concubine Xia first, and then went to visit Concubine Qi, so as not to delay important matters.

Zhaoshui naturally didn't care whether He Anming was there or not, as long as the imperial physician was there, it would be enough.

From beginning to end, Jingtai was unable to break free from Zhaoshui's hand. In the end, she stopped struggling and followed Zhaoshui, bringing all the imperial doctors from the Imperial Medical Bureau to Chuxiu Palace.

When Concubine Qi saw so many imperial doctors coming in, she was shocked. If she had not planned with Jingtai long ago, she would not have been able to pretend to be sick at this time.

But if the imperial physician came, her pretending to be sick would be exposed, and she could only insist that she was not feeling well and try to get the imperial physicians to conclude that it was a difficult and complicated disease.

But these imperial doctors were not so easily fooled. They all frowned when they saw Concubine Qi's expression. However, because she was a master, they could only take her pulse.

After Wei Lin took her pulse, Zhao Shui immediately asked about Concubine Qi's condition. After confirming that Concubine Qi was pretending to be sick, she returned to Chengqian Palace.

This time, Zhaoshui did go in. She leaned over to Lingrong's ear and told her everything about Jingtai's visit and his treatment of Concubine Qi.

The emperor was very curious, and when he looked over, Lingrong laughed out loud.

"Your Majesty, today is a bad day."

The emperor was somewhat puzzled, but Ling Rong aroused his interest. "Why, Rong'er, are you not planning to keep me here today?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, Concubine Qi is heartbroken and has just asked Jingtai to come and invite Your Majesty.

But Zhaoshui was worried that he would delay Concubine Qi's treatment, so he took the initiative to go to the Imperial Hospital to invite the imperial physician. Now all the imperial physicians are in Chuxiu Palace to diagnose Concubine Qi. Would you like to go and take a look?"

When Lingrong said this, there was no sign of worry on her face. Her secretly delighted look made the emperor immediately realize that Concubine Qi's illness was fake.

Considering Prince Guo's recent actions, the Emperor had guessed why Concubine Qi did this.

"You look so secretly happy," the emperor pretended to be indifferent, "Noble Lady Qi is in danger of death, you are too heartless."

"It's all my fault, Your Majesty. Lady Qi is so petty... No, she is seriously ill. Let's go see her."

The emperor actually didn't have this intention. Running around for someone like Concubine Qi who had ulterior motives would only make him annoyed.

But it was rare to see Concubine Sheng like this, and the Emperor found it particularly interesting for a moment. He was used to her not fighting or competing, so it was quite amusing for her to occasionally show off her temper.

"Then let's go and see Noble Lady Qi, and Concubine Sheng can go with you."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Lingrong responded happily, turned around and ordered Zhaoshui to prepare brown rice and coix seed soup, and said that Concubine Qi liked it the most and must bring it over to express her condolences.

How could the barley soup be cooked if they had to go there in such a hurry? In the end, Lingrong followed the emperor with a pot of half-cooked soup.

Along the way, I was still thinking that Zhen Huan's methods were indeed effective.

By the time Lingrong and the emperor arrived, the imperial doctors had already finished examining the patient's pulse. Wei Lin was smart enough to report to the emperor and Lingrong first, which earned him a compliment from the emperor.

Imperial Physician Zhou came later. He didn't even know that Jingtai had set him up. He was still clueless and was playing tricks on the emperor, saying that Concubine Qi was fine.

"I just heard from Jingtai that Doctor Zhou checked Concubine Qi's pulse and said that Concubine Qi's symptoms were critical, but they couldn't find the cause of the disease."

Zhaoshui told Lingrong everything Jingtai said. The emperor and Doctor Zhou heard it clearly. Doctor Zhou was so angry that he almost laughed. Wasn't this telling the emperor that he was bribed by Concubine Qi? !

"I have not come to Chuxiu Palace to check the pulse of Concubine Qi. Miss Zhaoshui, could it be that you heard the name wrong?"

"I heard it correctly. You can ask Miss Jingtai to come over and we'll know the answer."

Doctor Zhou cupped his hands and told the emperor about his whereabouts in the Imperial Hospital, trying to convince the emperor. "Your Majesty, I have not come here to diagnose the disease. I just felt the pulse and did not find any abnormality in Concubine Qi."

At this point, Doctor Zhou also had the wit to speak out, and simply explained Concubine Qi's condition clearly, "Your Majesty, Concubine Sheng, Concubine Qi's pulse is steady and strong, there is nothing unusual. The heartache at this time is probably caused by heart disease.

This heart disease needs to be treated with heart medicine. I and the other imperial doctors have no better solution. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

The emperor was silent for a while, but finally believed what Doctor Zhou said. He nodded and asked everyone to leave.

"I'll go in and see Noble Lady Qi, and Concubine Sheng will come with me."

"Your Majesty, I'll wait in the main hall. Imperial Physician Zhou said that Concubine Qi is suffering from a heart disease. If I go now, won't I cause her to worry?

Your Majesty, please help me bring the brown rice and barley soup that I brought to Concubine Qi. She likes it the most. I believe she will recover after drinking it."

The emperor nodded, and Su Peisheng hurried forward to take it. The uncooked brown rice and barley soup had a slightly astringent taste, which made Su Peisheng frown.

However, Su Peisheng was happy to see Concubine Qi suffer. He went in happily with the jar, and when he came out, the jar was no longer in his hand.

"Lady Qi thanked Concubine Sheng and said she liked it very much. She also said she would invite the emperor to taste it later."

It seems that Concubine Qi is not a fool. Lingrong smiled with her hands covering her lips. She even knew to drag the emperor into the water. After tasting the food together, she said that she had intentionally humiliated him and also made the emperor have a bad impression of her.

But this thing was taken from Chengqian Palace, so the emperor of course knew that it was not cooked. Even if Concubine Qi used some tricks to make the emperor taste it, she would not get his pity.

Lingrong thought the emperor would stay a little longer, but he came out not long after Su Peisheng came out, and even had a face full of anger.

No one knew what had happened, but Lingrong, as the most senior official in the palace, had to stand up to greet the emperor and ask him why he was so angry.

Since the matter concerned the previous dynasty, the emperor did not want to tell Lingrong. He had a sullen face and only said that Concubine Qi was really making a fuss. There was obviously nothing wrong, but she had caused trouble for everyone in the Imperial Hospital.

"Your Majesty, please do not be angry about this matter. The people from the Imperial Hospital are here to take care of the water.

After all, what Jingtai said was serious, and no one dared to assume that Concubine Qi was fine.

It is better to believe it than not to believe it, and Your Majesty should not be too angry."

When Zhaoshui heard Lingrong say this, she immediately knelt down, kowtowed respectfully, and repeatedly admitted her mistakes.

"It's not her fault," the emperor raised his chin, and Su Peisheng immediately stepped forward, whispering to Zhaoshui, "It was Jingtai who talked nonsense, and he deserves to be punished.

Su Peisheng, take Jingtai out and give her twenty lashes of the cane to teach her a lesson. "

As soon as the emperor gave the order, guards came in and dragged Jingtai, who had a confused look on his face, out. Soon, heart-wrenching screams were heard from the courtyard.

The emperor's expression remained unchanged. He glanced at Ling Rong and said, "Go to Chengqian Palace. I'm going to see Hongyu."
