An Lingrong's Rebirth: Red

Concubine Tian was too excited, and Lingrong was worried that she would say something she shouldn't, so she waved her hand and asked everyone to go downstairs and rest, leaving only Sang'er and Zhaoshui to serve.

"Empress Tian, ​​who exactly is she that you are talking about?"

"She...she is not a person," Concubine Tian murmured to herself. She looked at Ling Rong, but was reluctant to say who that "she" was. "No, I can't say."

Concubine Tian spoke incoherently and hesitantly. Lingrong had almost no patience to listen any further. She suppressed the anger in her heart again and again before she spoke to comfort her.

"I don't care what you saw, don't worry too much. They couldn't beat us when they were alive, so what's there to be afraid of when they're dead?

Even if they can turn into ghosts, we can find a way to save them.

Even if they come back to life, they still can't win, what are you afraid of?"

Concubine Tian stared blankly at Ling Rong's lips, and nodded after a while, "I... I saw her face."

"You saw her face, so you thought someone had returned?" Hearing that Concubine Tian's emotions seemed to have stabilized a lot, Ling Rong softened her tone and asked, "What does that person look like?"

"She..." Concubine Tian frowned as she recalled, but in her horrible memories, she always saw that face as Concubine Hua or Concubine Duan, and could not remember her real appearance at all.

"She looks a lot like Concubine Hua... No, she looks like Concubine Duan."

Concubine Tian couldn't tell whether the face she saw was real or imagined, but because of Lingrong's company, the fear in her heart gradually dissipated a lot.

"I really can't remember it," Concubine Tian grabbed her hair and looked at Sang'er fiercely, "Sang'er, did you see it? You were right next to me at the time, you should have seen it!"

Concubine Tian and Lingrong didn't know that Sang'er had abandoned Concubine Tian in fear, so they both looked at her face, expecting an answer.

Sang'er abandoned his master and ran away. She didn't dare to say such a thing, so she shook her head and said that she was too scared to open her eyes.

“So… I didn’t see the white shadow’s appearance at all. After I found out that the queen had fainted, I ran back to the Yanxi Palace to find someone to help.

When I came back, the white shadow had disappeared, so I didn't have the chance to see her face at all."

"I didn't expect the clues to be cut off like this," Lingrong knew in her heart that it was the Queen's doing, and she even revealed the fact that she was timid, "but there are no ghosts in this world, this must be man-made, so there is no need to be afraid.

After all, you have seen her face, so if she appears in front of you again, you will have a chance to recognize her."

Ling Rong continued to comfort Concubine Tian. She stood up and tried to leave, but Concubine Tian grabbed her sleeve and said, "Is she really not a ghost? Her body is twisted like that, how could she be a human?"

"If there really are ghosts in this world, why wouldn't they just scare you? Why not just kill you?

What's more, we have handled the evidence cleanly. Even if they turn into ghosts, they will not think that it was us who did it, so how can they come to scare you?

Concubine Tian, ​​although we have done many bad things in our daily lives, there is no evidence against those who died, so there is no question of revenge.

So you should take a good rest for now. I will stay here today. I want to see if that ghost dares to come over again!"

Hearing that Lingrong would stay with her, Concubine Tian was surprisingly relieved. She withdrew her hand, touched her face, and began to recall the appearance of the white shadow, but unfortunately, she really couldn't remember it for a moment.

Lingrong had not expected that such a ghost story could scare Concubine Tian to such an extent, but fortunately nothing serious had happened and she should be feeling refreshed when she wakes up tomorrow.

"Sang'er, go get some soothing soup. It would be best if you light some soothing incense so that Concubine Tian can have a good sleep. There shouldn't be any problems tomorrow."

"Yes, Empress Sheng."

Sang'er nodded and immediately went downstairs to get the medicine. After Concubine Tian took it, she quickly calmed down and fell asleep soon.

Ling Rong rubbed her forehead. She felt a little tired after all this ordeal. She felt even more dizzy and almost fell down when she stood up.

This scared Zhaoshui. She swept Lingrong to the main hall and hurriedly called Wei Lin back.

But after taking the pulse, Wei Lin still made the same judgment as before, "Just use some medicine to replenish qi and blood, eat some qi and blood replenishing food on a daily basis, and slowly recuperate for half a year, and you will be completely cured."

"How could such a minor illness take so long?" Zhao Shui was still worried. She also felt Ling Rong's pulse and got the same result as Wei Lin. "I always worry that the queen has been plotted against by someone without knowing it."

“With you by my side, it’s not easy for me to be plotted against.

You don't have to worry too much. The situation is so serious today because you have been busy all night. Go to bed early in the future and it will get better."

Zhaoshui nodded. She also knew that the situation could not be rushed. As long as she was sure that she was not being plotted against by someone with ulterior motives, it would be fine.

"Your Highness, since you are not feeling well, you should not stay with me in the Yanxi Palace. There are many people serving Her Highness, so you don't have to worry too much."

Lingrong rubbed her forehead and nodded after a while. But before leaving, she still instructed Sang'er that if Concubine Tian's condition did not improve tomorrow, all visitors should be refused.

To prevent her from saying something she shouldn't say when she is not in her right mind.

Sang'er knew exactly what Concubine Tian had done, so after Lingrong's instructions, he kept his mouth shut and announced to the public that Concubine Tian was injured and not fit to see anyone. He didn't even go to pay his respects the next day.

The Queen was very proactive. After inviting Concubine Tian, ​​she sent Zhuxi to visit. Fortunately, Sang'er was obedient and did not let Zhuxi see Concubine Tian.

I don’t know if it was because of the effect of the medicine or because the previous night was too horrible, but Concubine Tian slept until noon. When she woke up, she was starving and couldn’t help but get angry.

Seeing that Concubine Tian had regained her former vitality, Sang'er finally felt relieved. While she was busy preparing meals for Concubine Tian, ​​she also sent someone to Chengqian Palace to inform Lingrong of Concubine Tian's current situation.

As soon as Lingrong learned that Concubine Tian had recovered, she rushed to the Yanx Palace. She did not feel any guilt in her heart, but was more worried that Concubine Tian would reveal some secrets.

"Do you remember the person from last night?" Ling Rong asked Concubine Tian about this as soon as she entered the room. As soon as Concubine Tian took a sip of tea, she recalled the horrific experience of last night and almost choked herself.

"I really can't remember, but I feel like he looks familiar, as if I've seen him somewhere before." Concubine Tian swallowed the tea in her mouth with difficulty. After leaving that environment, she could remember more things. "I vaguely feel that he seems to be someone in the Queen's palace."

"I also think it was the Queen's doing. There has been so much commotion in the former court recently, she must be suspicious of you."

"No matter how big the previous dynasty's commotion was, could it be bigger than the commotion in the Old Summer Palace?" Concubine Tian rolled her eyes. She had the same idea as Lingrong, and also believed that the Old Summer Palace incident was done by the Queen's people. "Why, have you figured out how to use the Old Summer Palace incident to trip up the Queen?

If you haven't thought it through yet and you still rush over, are you really not afraid of me getting mad?"

"I have received news that the Third and Fourth Princes will be brought to the palace during the Ninth Prince's Hundred Days Banquet. If we send someone to ask them then, we will surely be able to get more accurate information."

"Ask them? Do you think the emperor's men are just here to do nothing? If the two princes knew who did it, the people on the Internet would have already found out everything and ordered the punishment of the person behind it.

Do we need to wait until the Hundred Days Banquet to find out? Do you think your people are more useful than the emperor's people?"

Lingrong was speechless when she saw Concubine Tian's excitement. She never said that she would find out the truth. She just forged some evidence through the two princes.

"The emperor's people are investigating the truth, and our people are investigating the queen."

"Is there any difference between the two?" Concubine Tian looked at the tea in her hand and threw it away with a look of disgust. "Aren't they both about finding out who is behind this?"

"The difference is what the truth is and what the truth is that we want them to find out."

Concubine Tian didn't immediately understand the tongue-twisting words, but she still said "oh" and it took a while for her to come back to her meaning. "You mean that no matter whether the real culprit behind the scenes is the queen or not, we have to make these two princes believe that it was the queen who did it, especially the fourth prince, he must believe it so."

Finally, I was smart for once, Lingrong sighed in her heart, she nodded, "The emperor also knows about the ghost in the palace, but this matter is not easy to investigate, you can only think of a solution yourself.

If you can remember whose face you saw, maybe you can catch the real culprit behind it."

Concubine Tian clicked her tongue in displeasure, and her displeased expression startled Sang'er who was standing beside her. "Don't bring up that. I can handle what happened last night myself. There's no need for you to be sarcastic here."

"This is not sarcasm at all. I keep bringing it up so that you won't be afraid anymore. It's just a fake ghost, but it actually frightened you to the point of fainting.

How come I didn't know before that Concubine Tian was such a coward."

Hearing that Lingrong dared to talk back to her like this, Concubine Tian opened her eyes wide in disbelief, "An Lingrong, you actually have the guts to say that I'm timid in front of me. Are you thinking that I don't dare to punish you?"

"Empress Tian, ​​you and I are both concubines, and we both have the power to assist in managing the six palaces. There is no need to bring this little verbal banter to the point of punishment or not."

Ling Rong was giving Concubine Tian less and less face now. She waved her hand to interrupt Concubine Tian's words and said, "The most important thing right now is not to argue with me, but to handle the Ninth Prince's banquet.

Concubine Xia won't care about how you deal with it, but the Emperor or Empress will definitely care, and we have to find a way to trip up the Empress and not let the Third Prince stay so easily."

At the same time, in the Palace of Mental Cultivation.

Lord Fucha and the Queen's biological father Fei Yanggu left one after another. The two of them disliked each other on the way and were unwilling to even save face.

Su Peisheng followed behind all the way, and after confirming that the two men did not talk, he returned to the Yangxin Palace to report to the emperor.

In fact, the two of them came to the emperor for the same thing, which was whether to bring the third prince back to the palace and hand him over to the empress to raise.

Fei Yanggu was naturally the one who insisted on letting the third prince return to the palace. His reason was very simple. The third prince had already been adopted by someone else, and logically speaking, he posed no threat to any of the princes.

But he still died of poisoning outside the palace. I'm afraid there are forces that want to take action against the emperor's offspring in order to make the Qing Dynasty have no heir.

Therefore, not only the Third Prince, but also the Fourth Prince had to be brought back to the palace to be raised. They could not be left in the Old Summer Palace any longer.

The Queen Mother is the mother of a country, so she naturally has the obligation to care for and raise the children. If the Emperor allows the Third Prince and the Fourth Prince to return to the palace, it is only natural that the two princes be raised by her.

What Fei Yanggu said did make some sense, but there was no factual basis for his inference about the real culprit behind the scenes. Therefore, the emperor did not immediately give in, nor did he reveal his intention to let the two princes come back.

As for Lord Fucha, he was very opposed to Fei Yanggu's proposal. The real reason was very simple. He was still hoping that his daughter, Concubine Tian, ​​could dethrone the queen and take the throne.

No matter what, he could not let the queen raise the prince, but Fei Yanggu's excuse was perfect, and Lord Fucha thought about it for a long time before he came up with a response.

Regarding the murder of the two princes, he had a different idea from Fei Yanggu. He believed that it was people in the palace who murdered the two princes, and it was even very likely done by concubines who had princes.

If we rashly bring the two princes back to the palace at this time, I'm afraid they would be like sheep walking into a tiger's mouth and would be subjected to more schemes.

After all, the concubines have lived in the deep palace for a long time and they more or less have their own people and connections. They can still escape in the Old Summer Palace, but if they stay in the palace, I am afraid that the two princes will not be able to cope with it and have no way to escape.

Although Lord Fucha's words sounded extremely unpleasant, and even seemed to slander the concubines in the harem, the emperor was indeed more inclined to his inference.

According to Fei Yanggu, the emperor even guessed that it was the queen who did it, and the person she wanted to murder was only the fourth prince Hongli.

As for the Third Prince, it was purely an accidental injury. After all, he had said during the investigation that he had originally wanted to find Hongli to study and discuss philosophy, but he was so serious that he forgot the time, so Hongli kept him behind to have a meal with him.

If he had left on time or earlier, the poisonous food would not have been used at all.

It was also for this reason that the emperor was able to determine that in this poisoning incident, the person behind the scenes only wanted to murder Hongli.

And who else could this person be other than the Queen?

The emperor looked at the memorials in his hand. Many people from the former dynasty had written to him, asking him to show mercy and allow the third prince to return to the palace. The intention behind this was self-evident.

But what is the Queen thinking?
