An Lingrong's Rebirth: Red

"My queen, Xiao Yunzi has already gone to Yongshou Palace."

Xiao Chizi went out quickly and came back quickly. As soon as he entered the room, he explained everything in a few words. "Looking at his expression, I was very worried. He himself said that he didn't want to serve Concubine Wan."

"This was originally ordered by the Emperor. Xiao Yunzi once came from Yongshou Palace. This time when someone was transferred to Yongshou Palace, he was the first one chosen by the Emperor.

I can't say anything in front of the emperor, so I can only think of ways to provide some protection for his life."

Xiao Chizi nodded. He had already told Xiao Yunzi all these words. What to do next depended on Xiao Yunzi himself.

"Well, you don't have to worry too much. Xiao Yunzi will have more opportunities to move around on weekdays when he goes to Yongshou Palace.

You have a good relationship with him, so it's good to see him from time to time."

"I will go to him from time to time to inquire about the situation, so don't worry, Madam."

Ling Rong nodded and told Xiao Chizi to go down and rest, while she continued to place pieces on the chessboard. It took a while to finish the game.

Ling Rong didn't actually get much information about the previous dynasty's affairs. She could occasionally learn a little from Ling Lang, but she was not as well-informed as Concubine Tian.

In the past two days, the harem has been busy preparing for the Ninth Prince's hundred-day banquet, and the court has been busy arguing about the Third Prince's affairs. The Emperor has been overwhelmed and even has been entering the harem less frequently.

The one or two times he went there occasionally, he would go to Yongshou Palace. Otherwise, he wouldn't have put so much thought into helping Concubine Wan select people from all over to serve her.

However, most people were very happy to be selected to go to Yongshou Palace. After all, Concubine Wan was very popular now, and there was no telling how many servants would be vying to go there.

It’s a pity that Concubine Wan is a quiet person, and those who are attentive to her are not liked by her.

Although Xiao Yunzi was far away from her, she actually gained some trust in him and would obey her orders and do things from time to time.

Lingrong would occasionally see him in the Old Summer Palace, but in order to prevent others from noticing that they knew each other, she never asked him any further questions.

On this day, Lingrong was in the Imperial Garden with Youning admiring the flowers when she heard news from the Old Summer Palace saying that the Third Prince and the Fourth Prince had eaten something bad in the Old Summer Palace and were now bedridden, having been unconscious for a day.

"There is an imperial physician on duty at the Old Summer Palace. Did the physician take your pulse?"

"The imperial physician who stayed in the Old Summer Palace checked and said that this was caused by consuming unclean food.

But the two princes fainted for a whole day, so it's obviously not that simple."

Ling Rong nodded. She thought the same thing when she heard about this. Her first reaction was that someone deliberately attacked the two princes. "Does the emperor know about this?"

"The Emperor was the first to know about it, and I heard that he has already sent Doctor He over."

Zhaoshui had done a thorough investigation beforehand, so when Lingrong asked, she could immediately tell the situation, "I heard that Jingren Palace also sent someone over, but I don't know who it was."

"The Queen didn't even go there in person. How could she not seize this opportunity to show her motherly love?"

"I also find it a little strange. The people sent by the Queen and the Emperor did not even go together. The Queen's people went earlier, so I don't know who was sent by Jingren Palace."

"This is strange. The emperor was not the first to know the news from the Old Summer Palace."

Lingrong raised her eyebrows. She keenly sensed that something was wrong. Rather than suspecting the Queen's actions, she was more expecting them.

"Who is the emperor photographing?"

"It was Eunuch Su," Zhaoshui replied quickly, "They left a cup of tea ago. They traveled light and should arrive at the Old Summer Palace soon."

"We should also investigate who is responsible for this." Lingrong pondered the Queen's methods. The Queen herself was an expert in medicine, so if she wanted to find out her methods, she would probably have to wait for news from the imperial physician.

"Your Majesty, this happened suddenly, and it is difficult for us to find out the cause right away. Why don't we wait for the doctor's news?"

"This is the only way." Ling Rong sighed, but finally ordered people to check whether anyone from Jingren Palace had left the palace recently.

However, the Queen's decision to send Xiao Jinzi out was actually done in private and in violation of regulations, which led to Ling Rong checking all the records of her going out but not finding anything unusual.

The people in the Queen's palace also looked around and found that except for Aunt Zhuxi who went to the Old Summer Palace to visit the two princes, no one was missing.

No one entered or left the palace, so Lingrong could only assume that the Queen had bribed the people in the Old Summer Palace in order to murder the Fourth and Fifth Princes.

It is difficult to investigate this matter now. After all, the emperor and the empress are all in the Old Summer Palace. If Ling Rong sends someone there at this time, she will get herself into trouble.

However, things in the Old Summer Palace were handled unexpectedly slowly, and no news was received until the next day when he paid his respects to the Empress.

"It's strange, the Third and Fourth Princes are both princes, how could they eat unclean things?

Now the emperor has sent people to investigate, but no news has come back yet, and no one knows what happened. "

Lingrong heard what Concubine Tian said and she also sent people to investigate, but like herself, she didn't get any useful information.

"The people from the Old Summer Palace haven't returned yet, and I don't know what's going on."

The Queen was also a little anxious. After all, Xiao Jinzi had not returned yet. She wanted to know whether the two princes were dead or just fine.

If both princes are rescued, then we will need to start planning again and continue to take measures against the Fourth Prince.

If both princes died, the queen sighed in her heart, and her eyes turned to Concubine Tian. Then she could only win over the fifth prince.

Anyway, she is the queen, and if she wins over any prince, she will eventually become the queen mother.

"Didn't the Empress send people to the Old Summer Palace, but she didn't get any news at all?"

"Yes, after all, this involves two princes, so the emperor must be worried and is asking his servants to investigate.

Therefore, the news is slow to come back, sisters, please don’t worry too much.”

Concubine Tian snorted. She was not worried about the two princes at all. In her heart, she actually hoped that something bad would happen to the two princes so that the Queen and others would no longer have the ability to compete with her for the throne.

Unfortunately, things did not go as planned. In the afternoon, news came back from the Old Summer Palace that the two princes were out of danger and were now resting peacefully.

Concubine Tian sighed repeatedly with regret, and her disappointed look was so obvious. Xia Dongchun couldn't stand it anymore, so she sat aside and yawned repeatedly, winking at Lingrong, asking her to persuade Concubine Tian quickly.

"It has come to this. Rather than regret it, we should think of some way to maximize the benefits."

"Tell me, how can we take advantage of this?"

Lingrong felt a little tired when she thought about coming up with ideas. This Concubine Tian always wanted to reap the benefits.

However, if she were asked to think of a solution, Lingrong would not dare to use it, for fear that she would be caught by the Queen before she could even make a move.

"Now the Fourth and Fifth Princes are safe, and the news that came back also said that they were poisoned.

Now we can only start from the poisoning incident. If we prove that it was the Queen who poisoned him, won't all the problems be solved?"

"That's easier said than done," Concubine Tian frowned, "You've also checked the records of people entering and leaving the palace, and you didn't find anyone leaving the palace.

I also sent people to check the Old Summer Palace. Apart from the people sent from the palace after the incident, no one has been in or out for half a month."

Ling Rong had also investigated this matter, so she knew it very well. "In this case, it is very likely that someone in the Old Summer Palace did it.

The Queen is extremely powerful, so it is not surprising that she can bribe one or two people.

The most important thing now is to investigate the people around the Third Prince and the Fourth Prince, especially the Fourth Prince.

After all, the Queen has been trying to find a way to bring the Third Prince back to the palace. It was definitely not her intention to murder the Third Prince. It is very likely that she was implicated by the Fourth Prince. "

"What you said is simple. Now everyone in the Old Summer Palace is the emperor's people. It is difficult for us to intervene and forge evidence."

"It's difficult but I can do it. If I just sit there and do nothing, I'll just sigh."

Lingrong didn't really want to do this. After all, what happened in the previous dynasty was enough to give the emperor a headache and make him suspicious of the queen.

I gave this idea to Concubine Tian just because I didn't want her to disturb me.

"I am worried about the future, but you are being sarcastic. Since you have such an idea, I will leave it to you.

After all, I am still busy with the Ninth Prince's Hundred Days Banquet, so I don't have the energy to do these despicable things."

Concubine Tian felt slighted and immediately became displeased. She glared at Ling Rong and said, "Why do you look at me like that? Do you think you didn't understand what I said? Do you need me to repeat it again?"

Lingrong shook her head and smiled. She did not show any displeasure. Facing Concubine Tian's arrogant attitude, she could now treat it calmly.

"Got it. I will find a way to do it. Concubine Tian, ​​don't worry too much."

After Lingrong finished speaking, she stood up and, without caring about the expressions of Concubine Tian and Xia Dongchun, she led her people out of the Yanx Palace.

Along the way, Zhaoshui had been speaking up for Lingrong, but after she finished speaking, she realized that Lingrong still had a calm expression on her face.

"Your Majesty, aren't you angry at Concubine Tian's frivolous words?"

"You've already gotten angry for me, so how can I be angry?" Lingrong smiled and comforted Zhaoshui, "With you venting my anger for me, I don't have to care even if I'm wronged."

"Your Highness, I can only say a few words to cheer you up. If you really want to vent your anger, it's best to fight back fiercely and teach Your Highness Concubine Tian a lesson."

"You are right, but it is very easy to deal with Concubine Tian. After all, she is timid. Just finding someone to play tricks on her is enough to keep her awake at night."

Feiyun from the Queen's Palace just happened to be walking towards them. Zhaoshui lowered his voice, fearing that someone would hear him. "Is Concubine Tian afraid of ghosts and gods?"

Ling Rong did not lower her voice, and even deliberately raised it, "Yes, Concubine Tian believes in ghosts and gods the most. When the ghost rumors were at their worst, she could not sleep all night long. She drank countless tranquilizing soups, but to no avail."

"Your Majesty..." Zhaoshui thought Lingrong didn't notice Feiyun, so she reminded her softly, "Feiyun, who was beside the Queen just now, seemed to have heard what the Queen said."

"Really? That's great," Lingrong turned to look at Zhaoshui and gave a mischievous smile, "Now there will be someone to help us teach her a lesson."

Lingrong guessed correctly. After Feiyun learned the news, he immediately told the Queen Mother as if presenting a treasure.

"Afraid of ghosts and gods?" The Queen looked at Feiyun with a half-smile, "No wonder Concubine Tian loves to go to Baohua Palace, it's just that her belief in Buddhism doesn't seem to be devout enough, otherwise why would she be afraid of ghosts and gods?"

"Perhaps it is because she is not pious enough that Concubine Tian's Buddha cannot protect her, so she is so scared." Feiyun has served the Empress Dowager for a long time and has some respect for the concubines in the harem, but not much.

Especially after the death of the Empress Dowager, she came directly to serve the Queen and did not suffer any hardship at all, and it was normal for her to speak without restraint.

"What you said does make some sense..." The Queen was in a very happy mood. She touched the teacup in her hand. Recently, Concubine Tian had been looking for trouble with her with words. She even placed people in the Old Summer Palace to find fault with her.

The method was not sophisticated enough, but it was annoying. Now that I know Concubine Tian's weakness, it would be good to let her suffer a little. "Then let Concubine Tian meet the ghosts and gods in this palace. After all, she has not been devout enough in worshiping Buddha recently, and the Buddha should punish her."

"What do you plan to do, Your Majesty? Is there anything I can do to help?" Feiyun was extremely happy when she heard that there was something exciting to watch. Moreover, Concubine Tian had given her a cold look in the past. Seeing her in trouble, Feiyun almost laughed out loud.

"Of course there are areas where you can help. In other words, you are the protagonist."

The queen made up her mind and asked Feiyun to prepare her clothes that day, waiting for the evening greeting to be over so that she could give her a good scare.

Feiyun bowed slightly and immediately went down to prepare things as the Queen requested. She even put on a pale makeup, just waiting for the late night to come and scare Concubine Tian.

When paying respects at night, the Queen kept Concubine Jing, Concubine Tian, ​​Lingrong and others for a while longer, using the excuse of discussing the Hundred Days Banquet.

"This time, I plan to hold the banquet in the Imperial Garden. The weather is not too cold now, and the sisters in the palace can still chat around the fire, which is fun."

The Queen nodded, but did not refute Concubine Tian's idea. "The Hundred Days Banquet will not only invite the concubines, but also hold an official banquet for the former court. Have you planned this part?"

"Your Highness, everything has been planned," Concubine Tian was unwilling to explain too much. When she heard that the Queen was going to ask more questions, she glanced aside and said, "Official banquets don't require a lot of variety. I am just replicating the previous examples, and there will be no mistakes.

Your Majesty, just be at ease. If you keep asking me questions, I will not know what to do."
