An Lingrong's Rebirth: Red

"Empress Tian is indeed the one who has the power to assist the six palaces. Even when the emperor was in danger, she did not show the slightest sign of panic, and even had the energy to find out about the Fourth Prince."

There was something else going on in Concubine Xin's words, but Concubine Tian didn't hear it and raised her chin proudly.

This stupid and naughty look almost made Concubine Xin laugh. She tried hard to suppress the smile on her lips and even thought about the emperor's fainting several times.

"Now the Empress is busy taking care of the Emperor, and Concubine Tian is our backbone," Concubine Chun took over the conversation and echoed Concubine Xin, "If we don't catch the person who poisoned the Fourth Prince, this palace will be very dangerous.

Concubine Tian is doing this for our own good, we just need to wait for news from the Emperor."

"Yeah, that's true," Concubine Xin sighed, "Why is Concubine Tian still staying in the Yangxin Palace? She should be at the prince's residence now.

If I don't go there in person, I'm afraid I'll miss a lot of details, Lady Chun, do you think so?"

"Yes, Concubine Tian should take those servants to investigate. If the truth can be found out as soon as possible, the emperor will be happy.

Once you feel better in your heart, your body will surely get better, and you may even be remembered as a great contributor."

Concubine Tian was actually moved by what the two men said. She blinked her eyes and actually planned to get up and leave.

Ling Rong saw it all but did not dissuade her. Xia Dongchun wanted to speak, but she looked at the other people present and finally kept her mouth shut.

So Concubine Tian left in a daze. As soon as she left the house, Concubine Xin sneered, "This power to assist in managing the six palaces is really a good thing. As long as you have it in your hands, you can ignore even the emperor and don't need to worry about the queen's face.

If you don’t know, you might think she is imitating a certain queen.”

"Not only is Concubine Xin good at talking, she also has a quick mind. Just based on the fact that Concubine Tian wants to find out the truth for the Fourth Prince, do you think Concubine Tian wants to seize power?

What's more, they mentioned the matter of the empress. I'm afraid it's not that Concubine Tian didn't have it, but that some people's thoughts were exposed."

Ling Rong looked at Concubine Xin and pretended to wipe her eyes twice, "As women in the harem, how can we have such thoughts? Sister Jing, how do you think about this matter...?"

Ling Rong didn't even give Concubine Xin a chance to explain. Besides, her purpose wasn't this. She looked at Concubine Jing who said nothing, "Sister?"

Imperial Concubine Jing seemed to have just recovered from her shock. She slightly widened her eyes and asked, "Sister, what did you just say? I was so absorbed in thinking about the Emperor that I didn't hear what you just said."

"They are just some small matters. Concubine Xin is a bit outspoken, and I just want you to take charge and restrain her."

"What did Lady Xin say that made my sister not know how to restrain herself?"

"Sister, you should listen to Concubine Xin's own words. If I convey them from you, there might be inaccuracies, which would be a waste of time."

Lingrong winked at Concubine Xin, signaling her to speak quickly and repeat what she had said.

Concubine Xin was not a fool. She naturally knew that what she had said was indeed inappropriate, so she turned her head away and refused to speak no matter what.

"Look at Concubine Xin, she knows she's made a mistake," Concubine Jing said slowly, acting like a good person. "Sister, you know she has always been like this, and she's been outspoken more than once or twice. Just let her go this time."

"Of course I understand what my sister meant. Originally, I wanted to use a small punishment to silence everyone's gossip and tell them not to use this matter to poke Concubine Xin's soft spot in the future.

But here the elder sister has the highest status, so the younger sister will naturally listen to her."

Concubine Jing looked puzzled. She actually didn't understand what Lingrong meant, but she nodded subconsciously.

Concubine Xin frowned. She did say those words accidentally, but a verbal warning would have been enough. Why did she make such a big deal out of it? It was really annoying.

"Your Highness, Concubine Sheng is really making a big deal out of nothing. We are all sisters in the palaces, and we know that I just said these words by mistake. How could it be spread out and let others know?"

"What Concubine Xin said is right." Ling Rong was not angry. She looked towards the door, not knowing what she was looking at. "All the people in the harem are your sisters. Naturally, they will not spread the news."

As soon as these words were spoken, the hall fell silent. About an incense stick later, the Queen came back and sat at the head of the table, sighing constantly.

"Empress, has the Emperor woken up?"

"He hasn't woken up yet. The imperial physician is still trying to find a solution. Sisters, don't worry too much." The queen was silent for a while. She just felt a splitting headache and didn't want to say another word to these women.

"So many doctors don't have any solution? Doctor Zhou's acupuncture doesn't work either?"

Concubine Qi looked anxious. Now that she had lost the power of her family, she could only rely on the emperor. If the emperor fell, she would be the most anxious.

The Queen didn't say anything but just waved her hand. Concubine Qi didn't understand what she meant and actually asked again.

"The imperial doctors will find a way. If you are really worried, you should go and serve the emperor. Today, you and I will serve the emperor in the Yangxin Palace together."

The queen looked around. She wanted to give Concubine Tian the task of assigning the concubines to take care of the sick, but she found that this person was not in the palace.

"Where's Concubine Tian? Such a big thing happened to the Emperor, and she didn't even bother to look at it?"

"Empress," Concubine Xin spoke first, "Empress Tian went to find out the truth about the Fourth Prince's death. She wanted the Emperor to know who the real culprit was when he woke up. She said she wanted to comfort the Emperor for his grief over the loss of his son."

Hearing that Concubine Tian had such thoughts, the Queen's face became even gloomier. She nodded and called Zhuxi to go to the prince's residence.

"You stay over there and help Concubine Tian. Come back and report to me anytime if you need anything." After the Queen gave Zhu Xi her instructions, she told everyone to go back. After all, no one knew when the Emperor would wake up, and it would be a waste of time for a group of people to wait here.

"Lady Qi will stay with me today, and the others can go back first. Especially those who have children in the palace, you should comfort the children and not let them worry.

If necessary, it is better to hide it. After all, there is no doctor in the palace to take care of the child. During the period when the emperor recovers, I hope that there will be no more problems in the harem. Do you understand?"

"Your Majesty, I understand."

"Empress Jing and Concubine Sheng, you should take care of the affairs of the harem these days. You are all people who have the power to assist in managing the six palaces. I don't think I need to explain what to do."

"I understand, Your Majesty, please rest assured." Concubine Jing spoke again. She and Lingrong looked at each other and nodded to each other.

After leaving the Yangxin Palace, Lingrong followed Concubine Jing to the Xianfu Palace.

She hadn't been here for a long time, and this time she felt as if she was in another world. This feeling was even stronger when she stood in the courtyard and looked towards the Cun Ju Hall.

Concubine Jing also came to Lingrong's side, and the two of them looked at the desolate gate of Cunju Hall together, and after a while, they sighed together.

"If Concubine Hui were still here, this Xianfu Palace wouldn't be so lonely. She is in good health and can give birth to a few more children for the emperor on a regular basis.

You won’t be like me, who couldn’t keep the child she gave birth to, and couldn’t keep the child she wanted to adopt either.”

"Sister, if Consort Hui were still alive, I'm afraid you wouldn't be so sentimental.

Moreover, considering Concubine Hui's affection for the Emperor, I'm afraid she would be laughing happily in Cunju Hall at this moment."

Concubine Jing was a little surprised. The reason for Concubine Hui's death was unclear. Even she only knew something vaguely, but never got a definite answer.

"Sister, you seem to know Concubine Hui very well. Is there something wrong between her and the Emperor?"

"It seems that you know very little about what happened back then," Ling Rong smiled slightly, looking unwilling to say more, "Sister, you just need to know that neither the Emperor nor I are interested in talking too much about Concubine Hui."

Concubine Jing did not ask any further questions. In fact, she clearly felt that the relationship between her and Concubine Sheng had become distant. She mentioned Concubine Hui just to take the opportunity to bring up their past and get closer to each other.

"My sister has been very different in the past year."

Concubine Jing and Ling Rong turned around together, chatted and laughed together, and sat down in the main hall.

Hot tea was also served, but Lingrong just sniffed it, praised the tea, and put it down, without drinking a sip from beginning to end.

Concubine Jing saw this, paused in her tea drinking, and then put it down.

"I never thought that my sister and I would become so distant. You helped me a lot with what I promised you."

“That matter…my sister was indeed a suspect, but Kang promised that he was not that stubborn, so the matter was resolved before he had the chance to frame my sister.

It's all my sister's luck, it can't be attributed to me."

Ling Rong was still smiling, she picked up the cup again, "In fact, I am not unfamiliar with my sister, but the emperor's health... I am really a little worried.

As for not letting you mention Concubine Hui, it is because the Emperor is unhappy about it. Please don't misunderstand me."

Seeing Lingrong take a sip of tea, Concubine Jing's worries were reduced a lot.

Now that the Fourth Prince has passed away, her last bit of hope has disappeared. If she loses a good sister like Concubine Sheng, she is afraid that her life in the palace will become difficult in the future.

Moreover, the emperor's health was getting worse day by day, and she had to start considering how she would spend her days if the emperor passed away.

No matter what, Concubine Sheng still has children, and she can live with the Eighth Prince or Princess Youning in the future, and does not have to live in the palace.

If the sisterhood between her and Concubine Sheng had remained strong, she would not have to be trapped in this small world of the Forbidden City after the emperor's death.

He didn't need to be supported by Concubine Sheng's children. He just wanted to go out for a walk and see the beautiful scenery.

Originally, the Fourth Prince could have helped him fulfill his wish, but now the person is dead. Even if he finds out who murdered him, it will not change his future.

Concubine Jing finally figured it out. One has to plan for himself in his life.

"Sister asked me to come here today. Is there anything you want to say?"

"There are indeed some things that are inconvenient to mention in front of everyone. Sister, what do you think of Concubine Tian?"

"Empress Tian? She grew up in luxury, so it's inevitable that she's a bit spoiled, but overall she seems to be a good person.

Did your elder sister have a conflict with her? She wants her younger sister to mediate. "

Lingrong was very confused. After all, Concubine Jing had the title of Concubine, and it was unlikely that Concubine Tian would take the initiative to conflict with her.

"That's not the case. It's just that looking at Concubine Tian's current appearance, I'm afraid she wants to compete with the Queen. So I want to know how my sister will choose and what she thinks of Concubine Tian and the Queen."

"Now that the emperor has fallen, I am beginning to get anxious. If Hongyu were not still young, I would have wanted to fight for the throne as well."

Ling Rong was quite straightforward at this time, she shook her head pretending to be regretful, "Originally I thought that if the Fourth Prince could be raised by my sister, he would still have some chances.

However, no one expected that the Fourth Prince would be murdered and lose his life at such a young age.

The situation is now tense and the Fourth Prince passed away suddenly. The most suspected people are the Third Prince and the Fifth Prince, as well as the concubines and officials who supported them behind the scenes.

I believe that the emperor will start investigating as soon as he wakes up, but strangely, the emperor has not woken up yet.

The imperial doctors at the Imperial Hospital have tried everything, but there is no improvement at all. Don’t you think this is too strange, sister? "

Concubine Jing didn't think much about it at first, but after Lingrong mentioned it, she couldn't help but start to think wildly.

But she still retained a trace of rationality and did not follow Ling Rong's thoughts, "You and I both know that the emperor took medicine in the past.

This time, the emperor did faint because of the grief he felt upon hearing the news of the Fourth Prince's death, but one has to consider that it was a side effect caused by the accumulation of drugs.

So sister, don't let your imagination run wild. Even if the queen is very brave, she wouldn't dare to plot against the emperor at this time. I'm sure the emperor will wake up soon."

Concubine Jing's idea was not what Lingrong wanted. She seemed to agree and nodded very heavily.

"Sister, do you have other considerations?" Concubine Jing tried to comfort her. She leaned forward and held Ling Rong's hand. "Since you call me sister, I will always play the role of a sister and stand firmly by your side.

Don't hide it from me. If you have anything to say, just tell me. I will find a way to help you."

“What my sister said makes some sense. I’m just worried that the emperor’s fainting is not as simple as we thought.

After all, the battle for the crown prince is far more bloody than you and I can imagine. After all, my sister has two children, and I am really worried that if the emperor is not around, the two children will also be targeted.

If they lose their lives because of this, what is the point of my sister living.”
