An Lingrong's Rebirth: Red

Chapter 400 Marriage Grant

Seeing Su Peisheng nod, the emperor was finally certain that the two of them had actually been in love for a long time, and it was not just Su Peisheng who was one-sided.

Fortunately, these two people did not cause bigger trouble. Promising Cui Jinxi to Su Peisheng as soon as possible would allow these two people to focus their thoughts and not do anything that would threaten their safety.

"Your Majesty, Eunuch Su and Cui Jinxi are truly a perfect match, but Cui Jinxi is not feeling well now, so it's a pity that they can't get married right away."

"This Cui Jinxi has been unwell for a long time. Even Concubine Chun no longer uses her to serve. There is no point in her staying in the palace."

Ever since Su Peisheng left his post without permission, the emperor sent people to investigate Cui Jinxi thoroughly. Now the only thing he didn't know was that Cui Jinxi had the plague.

"Your Majesty's intention is... to ask Cui Jinxi to leave the palace?"

"Eating together in the palace is strictly prohibited, even if Su Peisheng is my personal servant, he cannot violate it.

But considering that he and Cui Jinxi truly love each other, Zheng will let Cui Jinxi leave the palace and reward you two with a mansion.

Then Cui Jinxi will stay in the house, and when she recovers, you two can get married."

Su Peisheng bowed repeatedly on the side. Regardless of whether he agreed with the emperor's idea or not, he could only smile and say yes.

Ling Rong didn't know that Su Peisheng had intended to let Cui Jinxi assist Concubine Wan to take the position of concubine or even noble concubine, otherwise she would definitely be grateful for her decision in her heart. After all, invisibly, she eliminated Cui Jinxi, a great helper.

"I also know that the palace does not allow eunuchs and palace maids to form a private relationship, so I have been hiding my feelings for Jinxi.

This time, I really did do something wrong, but I never expected that the emperor would simply fine me my salary and beat me with a few sticks, and there was no other punishment.

Even...even granting me and Jinxi a marriage, how could I be so worthy of your forgiveness and care."

Su Peisheng was actually very happy to receive the marriage granted by the emperor. Although this meant that the emperor had one more handle to control him, he knew better than anyone that he would never betray the emperor.

So this would not be a burden to him at all, but rather a pure grace.

He did not consider whether Cui Jinxi was willing to agree. After all, in his eyes, the two of them were in love with each other, and Cui Jinxi should be as happy as he was to hear the news.

"Speaking of which, it was Concubine Sheng who facilitated this marriage. She couldn't bear to see lovers separated, so she interceded for the two of you and proposed this method.

Zhen was not a heartless person. After thinking about it, he thought this was indeed a good idea, so he agreed. If you want to thank someone, thank your master Sheng. "

The emperor said this because, firstly, Ling Rong had indeed begged for mercy, and secondly, he wanted to see whether the two had discussed privately and guided him to issue this imperial decree.

It has to be said that the emperor's suspicion has become even worse, Ling Rong thought silently, still pretending to know nothing, "I only came to visit the emperor, I didn't know that I could also offer advice to the emperor on this matter.

It seems that I do have the potential to be a matchmaker. In the future, when the princess chooses a consort or the prince chooses a wife, Your Majesty must give me a chance and let me be a good matchmaker so that lovers can finally get married."

"You are greedy. You want to participate in all the marriages of the royal heirs in the palace. Youning, this naughty girl, is enough to bother you. I won't ask any more questions when the time comes, and you are not allowed to come and beg me."

"Your Majesty, you must not ignore Youning's marriage."

The emperor had agreed that Youning would never marry, but the reason why the emperor said he would not interfere too much was that she only argued with the emperor symbolically and let him go after getting his nod.

"Today, Eunuch Su will be my witness, and Youning will choose her ideal husband. The emperor will definitely approve of her."

Su Peisheng was laughing at the side. He could neither interrupt nor leave immediately. He could only stand there awkwardly, waiting for the emperor's next instructions.

"Youning is still young, and there is no need to consider these marriage matters. Now I am making the decision for Su Peisheng and Cui Jinxi. Please don't interrupt me."

Lingrong nodded. The emperor was usually very serious, at least he would joke with the concubines, but today was very strange. Even if Lingrong said something insignificant, the emperor would respond.

"Please choose carefully among these houses. Choose one that is closer so that it will be more convenient for you to go in and out of the palace in the future."

The emperor's tone was very calm, but Su Peisheng was shocked. "Your Majesty, do you mean... that I can leave the palace from now on?"

"You have been serving me for a long time. Now that you have a wife, you must go back to visit her from time to time.

I thought of giving you two or three days of rest every month for your couple to reunite, but do you think that's too little?"

"This," Su Peisheng knelt down and kowtowed, "Your Majesty, you are embarrassing me. I have been serving you since I was a child, day and night, and never left.

If I can't see the emperor for a few days this month, I won't feel at ease. If the servants below don't serve well, I'm afraid it will cause a lot of trouble to the emperor."

"It's time for you to take care of some new people. I think your apprentice is pretty good. Let him take care of my food and daily life when you're not around."

Xiao Xiazi is still young, so naturally he won't be as considerate as Su Peisheng, but the emperor no longer trusts Su Peisheng as much as before. The adjustments made every two or three days a month are just to slowly replace Su Peisheng.

"The emperor is really considerate. Eunuch Su is so happy that he doesn't know what to say."

Su Peisheng didn't say anything, but Lingrong responded. Su Peisheng was also enlightened by this sentence and hurriedly expressed his gratitude to the emperor.

“I thank the emperor for his consideration, but I am used to being by his side, and I would not be able to adapt if I left.

Moreover, Xiao Xiazi is young, and I still need to teach him many habits about the emperor, so please allow me to save my rest days and consider using them later."

"It's a good idea of ​​yours," the emperor did not force it. He raised his chin and gave Su Peisheng a look, "You go to Suiyuxuan today and take Cui Jinxi out of the palace, and then send a new aunt to Suiyuxuan to serve.

Concubine Chun is innocent and naive, so please choose a nanny with a gentle personality to go over."

"The slave obeys."

Su Peisheng could finally leave. Lingrong looked at his back and decided to leave. "Today, I came here not only to serve His Majesty the medicinal food, but also to help Him solve the problem of Eunuch Su.

It can be said that I have worked hard and made great contributions. The emperor should also reward me with something."

"You are good at taking credit."

The emperor's attitude towards Lingrong was very gentle. The look in his eyes made Lingrong feel stiff, as if she had eaten too much lard for breakfast.

"I will go to Chengqian Palace tonight to see the two children and take a look at you as well."

"Since the emperor has gone, he can't just be gone for one day," Ling Rong deliberately expressed her dissatisfaction, "Youning will be gone for one day, Hongyu will be gone for one day, and I will be gone for another day. Three days will be enough."

"You are not like before. Now, you are more straightforward in your fight for favor." The emperor was not annoyed at all, but seemed a little happy. "Then I promise you that I will go to Chengqian Palace for the next three days. Are you relieved?"

"Then I would like to thank the emperor," Ling Rong put down the tea in her hand and immediately stood up to salute, "I will tell Hongyu and Youning the good news. The two children have prepared a lot of things to show their father."

After coming out of the Yangxin Palace, Ling Rong saw Zhao Shui and Su Peisheng. They seemed to be discussing something about Cui Jinxi, and their faces looked a little excited.

Seeing Ling Rong coming over, the two stopped talking and called out "Empress" in unison.

"I haven't congratulated Eunuch Su on getting what he wanted yet," Ling Rong said, "but you don't look particularly happy."

"I am happy in my heart, but given Jinxi's current physical condition, I cannot smile no matter what."

"Zhao Shui, but Cui Jinxi's health is getting worse?"

“In reply to your Majesty, during the treatment process, there will indeed be a rebound in symptoms that become more severe, but there is no need to worry too much. As long as you take the medicine regularly, the situation will improve.

Cui Jinxi is now at this stage, and it seems that the prescription is ineffective.

Eunuch Su was also worried and confused, and my explanation did not relieve his anxiety."

"Eunuch Su is worried that after Cui Jinxi leaves the palace, there will be no imperial physician to take care of her."

This time Su Peisheng nodded. Given his and Cui Jinxi's current situation, it was impossible for them to advance step by step as they had discussed before, so Su Peisheng could only get close to the favored concubines again to have an extra way out in the palace.

Of course, it is also to leave himself an extra channel to make money. Lingrong has always been generous in this regard and is indeed the best choice for Su Peisheng.

"Your Majesty sees things clearly, but this matter is difficult to resolve, and I am at a loss as to what to do."

Su Peisheng had no better solution at this time. He could only hope that the quack doctors outside the palace had some real skills to completely save Cui Jinxi from the terrible plague.

One of the purposes of leaving his words half-sentence was to make Lingrong soften her heart and help him.

“During the flood in the south, the plague also raged, causing countless deaths and injuries to the people in the city.

Fortunately, the Imperial Medical Bureau's drug research was very rapid and rescued the people.

Although the prescription Zhaoshui has given you is not exactly the same as the one given by the Imperial Hospital, the efficacy is almost the same. However, your worry is not unreasonable..."

Ling Rong turned to look at Zhao Shui, "Since I, Eunuch Su, am worried, you can use my name to ask Imperial Doctor He for a prescription for treating the plague.

At the same time, prepare a few more prescriptions, remember to use the best medicinal materials, so that Cui Jinxi can recuperate well outside the palace."

Zhao Shui responded quickly but did not move immediately. She and Ling Rong looked at Su Peisheng at the same time, asking for his opinion with their eyes.

"Your Majesty, Jinxi is just a little palace maid, yet you think so much about her and are even willing to ask the Emperor to grant her a marriage.

Such a great favor, I and Jinxi really have no way to repay it."

Su Peisheng is a smart man. Although he is touched by Lingrong's help, he also knows that Lingrong wants him to do something.

He just hoped that this matter would be easier to accomplish, but would not risk his life.

“When I saw your willow-leaf heart before, I mentioned it to you and helped you two to plead with the emperor.

At that time, Eunuch Su refused and was even unwilling to acknowledge the feelings between you two.

I didn’t expect that now that the Emperor knew about this, Eunuch Su would suddenly understand his feelings for me.”

"Between life and death, I can see everything clearly. Otherwise, it will be too late to regret when we are separated forever.

That is why I am so grateful to you, Your Majesty. If you have any requests, I will do it even if it means risking my life."

"I do have something I want you to do." Ling Rong looked at Su Peisheng with a very bright smile on her face.

Half a month later, Cui Jinxi's plague was completely cured, and her wedding with Su Peisheng was scheduled for the end of the month. Those who were on good terms with them in the palace also got the news.

But even if I got the news, there was no way I could attend their wedding banquet. I could only send some silver or gifts privately as a congratulations to them.

Many concubines in the palace also rewarded Su Peisheng, but only Concubine Chun didn't care, as if Cui Jinxi did not walk out of her palace.

In the end, it was Lingrong and Concubine Jing who made up Cui Jinxi so that she could marry Su Peisheng in a grand ceremony.

Zhaoshui distributed all the wedding candies sent by Su Peisheng to the young palace maids in Chengqian Palace and did not keep any for himself.

"My queen, Eunuch Su is already married, so it's time to start our next plan."

"I asked you to prepare the herbs half a month ago. Are you ready now?"

"I have prepared everything. This medicine has a fatal effect on the throat. If you use just a little bit, the Fourth Prince will die.

Even if he is lucky enough to escape, it will be difficult to cure him because he will fall into a long-term coma and cannot utter a word, which is no different from death. "

"Give the poison to Eunuch Su later today to avoid any further complications. Remember to tell him to act quickly."

"I understand, but I am also very worried. Will Eunuch Su take this medicine to ask the Emperor to make a decision and get the Empress out?"

"Don't doubt a person you employ, and don't doubt a person you don't employ. Since he has repeatedly promised us that he will take action against the Fourth Prince, we believe him."

Ling Rong is actually not a blindly credulous person. She can be so confident because Cui Jinxi's life is in her hands.

After all, Ling Rong had already planted people in Su Peisheng's house outside the palace. In fact, she knew every move of Su Peisheng and Cui Jinxi clearly.

However, in addition to himself, the emperor also had someone involved, but he didn't know what those people's purpose was.

For safety reasons, Lingrong had no choice but to ask Zhaoshui to deliver poison to Su Peisheng from the palace.
