An Lingrong's Rebirth: Red
Chapter 408 Scared
The situation was exactly as Lingrong had guessed, the emperor did not wake up that night.
The Empress Dowager and Concubine Qi stayed up all night. When they occasionally heard any noise from the Emperor, they would get excited for a while, but in the end they were just hallucinations.
It's not that the imperial physician is without a solution, but conventional methods have not been effective, and unconventional methods are dangerous. The queen dare not ask the imperial physician to use them no matter what.
However, according to the judgment of Imperial Physician Zhou, the emperor's body was not injured and he would wake up in one or two days at the shortest, or five or six days at the longest.
After careful consideration, the empress could only ask the concubines to take turns to care for the emperor, and let the imperial physician use more conservative treatment methods. After all, the emperor would wake up one day.
Concubine Tian did find out some information. She heard that the Fourth Prince went back to the palace to take a nap after lunch.
Who knew that he would never wake up after this sleep, and when everyone found him, he had already passed away for some time.
Such a young and strong prince passed away suddenly. Everyone speculated that he was poisoned to death, but after searching the Fourth Prince's body and residence, no signs of poison were found.
Even the cup of tea he drank before his nap was spotless, and nothing was found in it.
At the same time, the emperor fainted because of this, so all the investigations conducted by the prince were temporarily stopped and the imperial doctors also rushed to the Yangxin Palace.
When Concubine Tian came over, she just checked everything she had checked before, but the scope of her check was wider, including diet from morning to night, and all the people she had contact with.
However, the Fourth Prince had a heavy workload today and did not go out. The only people he interacted with were the eunuchs who served him, the tutor who taught him, and the Third Prince, the Fifth Prince and others.
Among them, the Grand Tutor was only giving lectures, and the Fourth Prince did not complete his homework well, so the Grand Tutor left him alone and gave him a verbal reprimand.
In order to avoid embarrassing the Fourth Prince, only the Grand Tutor and the Fourth Prince were present during the entire process. Even the eunuch beside the Fourth Prince was unaware of the specific situation.
As for the Third Prince and the Fifth Prince, they ate and studied with the Fourth Prince, and therefore spent the most time with him.
As for the eunuchs around the Fourth Prince, they were the first to be suspected. They have been checked several times, but nothing wrong has been found.
Concubine Tian was also in a dilemma, but she didn't know what poison the Fourth Prince had been poisoned by, let alone how he was poisoned. For a moment, she really didn't know how to start.
Furthermore, since the Emperor and the Empress were not around at the moment, Concubine Tian did not dare to ask the coroner to perform an autopsy directly. She could only delay the matter and leave the Fourth Prince with an intact body.
After Concubine Tian left the prince's residence, she realized that she had been plotted against.
Concubine Xin and Concubine Chun knew clearly that they could not find anything by coming to Prince Lai's office, but they still kept encouraging themselves. They were really despicable.
Concubine Tian gritted her teeth secretly, feeling dissatisfied with Lingrong and Xia Dongchun. These two people did not try to dissuade her, but just stood by and watched her fall into the trap. They deserved to die.
Sang'er looked at the sky which was gradually getting darker and felt a little scared. Ever since she was frightened by the female ghost that day, she has been particularly afraid of the darkness.
Therefore, she followed Concubine Tian's sedan chair closely, fearing that a female ghost would crawl out from some dark corner like that day.
Coincidentally, just around the corner, a woman in light-colored clothes really walked out of the shadows. The person was not holding a lantern, and it seemed as if she appeared out of thin air.
Sang'er was already nervous, and when he saw the figure, he opened his mouth in fear, but he couldn't even make a sound, and fell to the ground with a thud.
When the figure saw Sang'er's embarrassing appearance, she laughed mockingly. However, because she saw Concubine Tian sitting in the sedan chair, she did not dare to laugh too loudly. She just sneered softly, and the sound was barely perceptible.
Sang'er became even more frightened when she heard the voice, because it was so similar to the female ghost she saw that day. She wanted to point at the figure with trembling fingers, but the sedan bearers acted as if they had not seen it and still carried Concubine Tian towards the corner.
Concubine Tian seemed to be thinking about something seriously and did not immediately notice Sang'er's condition. It was not until the sedan chair got closer that she heard the figure shrug and sneer.
However, the figure was standing in the dark with her head lowered, so Concubine Tian couldn't see her face at all.
"Sonny, Sonny?"
Concubine Tian wanted to ask Sang'er to go and see who that person was, but when she turned around, she found that Sang'er was gone. Her heart immediately rose to her throat and her hands tightly grasped the armrests of the sedan chair.
“Slow down, slow down!” Seeing that the figure was getting closer and closer, Concubine Tian stopped the sedan bearers in fear, “Don’t you see that figure over there?”
The sedan bearers did see the figure, but they were not afraid. They simply thought it was a palace maid from some palace.
So he never stopped and just carried Concubine Tian closer.
But now Concubine Tian's voice sounded fearful and she told them to slow down, so they slowed down. However, they did not dare to stop the sedan chair without being ordered to do so.
Although their pace slowed down, in the eyes of the terrified Concubine Tian, there seemed to be no change at all. She became more and more frightened and called out to Sang'er anxiously.
The sedan chair was already approaching, and the figure suddenly squatted down to salute Concubine Tian. In Concubine Tian's eyes, he was just like the figure that fell from the wall to the ground that day.
Next...will it start crawling towards me?
Concubine Tian held her breath. She didn't dare to speak at this time. She was afraid in her heart, but her eyes looked at the figure uncontrollably.
The figure remained in a saluting posture with his head lowered, so his face could not be seen at all.
At this moment, Concubine Tian hoped very much that she could raise her face, but when the woman suddenly raised her head, Concubine Tian cried out in fear, her eyes rolled up and she fainted.
Sang'er, who fell behind, was very frightened when she heard Concubine Tian's crying. However, since the empress was in danger, she could not hide behind forever, so she caught up with the sedan chair little by little with trembling legs.
The sedan bearers had come to a complete stop and were looking at each other, not knowing what was going on.
Concubine Tian had fainted, and they didn't know what to do. They could only turn around and watch Sang'er running towards them.
This scene looked even more terrifying in Sang'er's eyes. The sedan bearers and the figure were all in the dark, and only a pale face could be seen from afar.
Because the sedan bearers were wearing hats and their eyes were hidden in the darkness, one glance at them was enough to make people feel scared.
As luck would have it, there was a sudden thunder in the sky. The loud bang made Sang'er scream in fear and almost crawled to the front of the sedan chair.
"Miss Sang'er, what are you doing..." One of the sedan bearers looked puzzled. He asked tentatively, "What on earth happened? Why are you and Concubine Tian so scared?"
"You...you..." Sonny raised his finger and pointed tremblingly at the figure in the corner, "Can't you see the person over there?"
"Isn't that just a palace maid?" The sedan bearer was even more confused. If he wasn't still carrying the sedan, he would have wanted to scratch his head. "It's just that I don't know which palace she is from."
"She, she, she is a human?"
"If she is not a human, what else could she be? Is she a fox that has become a spirit?" The sedan bearer was even more confused. He looked in the direction where Sang'er's finger pointed, and asked who the person was and which palace she was from.
When the figure raised his head, Sang'er was surprised to find that the face was the "ghost" he saw near the Yanxi Palace at that time.
She swallowed and bravely walked up to the white shadow, only to find that the person was Feiyun from the Queen's palace.
"Fei, Feiyun?"
"It's me, what's wrong?" Feiyun glanced at Sang'er, "When Concubine Tian's sedan passed by, I stood against the wall and saluted. There was nothing wrong with me, right?
Miss Sonny, you are yelling so loudly, are you trying to slander me?"
Sang'er couldn't say that he mistook her for a ghost, not to mention that this Feiyun should be the person who pretended to be a ghost before.
Thinking that there was no ghost at all, Sang'er grew bolder. She snorted, "You didn't even turn on the light in the middle of the night. Our queen was timid to begin with, and you frightened her to the point of fainting.
If anything happens to you, the Emperor and the Empress will not let you go."
Feiyun was also speechless. This time she didn't dress up as a ghost to scare people. It was obviously Concubine Tian who was timid and scared herself to death. How could she blame others?
"Miss Sang'er's words are funny. The moonlight is shining brightly in the sky, and it's not that dark inside the palace. In order to get to the Yangxin Palace to find the Empress as soon as possible, what's wrong with not carrying a lantern?
Besides, there is no rule in the palace that you must carry a lamp when walking late at night. You are blaming me for Concubine Tian's fainting without any reason. Is this the rule of your Yanxi Palace to bully others by taking advantage of your power?"
Sang'er was choked and didn't know how to refute Feiyun. She swallowed and snorted after a while.
"Just wait. If anything happens to the queen, I will never let you go. When our queen wakes up, you will be punished!"
Sang'er approached Concubine Tian and called her softly several times, but Concubine Tian never woke up. In desperation, she could only ask the sedan bearers to send her back to the Yanx Palace first.
But the most troublesome thing at the moment is that all the people in the Imperial Hospital are in the Yangxin Palace. Concubine Tian fainted from fright this time, and there is no way to invite anyone back from the Imperial Hospital.
In desperation, she could only go to Chengqian Palace and ask Zhaoshui, the girl who was by Concubine Sheng's side, for help.
When Lingrong learned that Concubine Tian was frightened by a "ghost" again, she couldn't help but sigh to hide her smile.
In the past, Concubine Li was timid, which caused everyone to ignore Concubine Tian.
"Zhaoshui, go with Sang'er and take a look first. I still have some things to take care of, so I'll be there later."
"I thank the Empress Shengfei," Sang'er bowed, then hurried out with Zhaoshui in hand, "Miss Zhaoshui, please come with me quickly."
Zhaoshui responded, turned back and nodded to Lingrong, then followed Sang'er back.
Fortunately, Concubine Tian's condition was not serious. She just fainted from fright. Zhaoshui just used golden needles to prick her acupuncture points and woke her up.
When she just woke up, Concubine Tian screamed and yelled, but when she heard Sang'er say that it was not a ghost at all, she became so angry that she changed her words and started cursing. She also planned to order people to rush to Jingren Palace immediately and bring that bitch Feiyun over.
"Your Highness, you can't do that. Feiyun is someone close to the Queen. Even if she was wrong in the first place, we should inform the Queen and then bring her to the Yanxi Palace for punishment."
"She dared to pretend to be a ghost and scare me. It must be because of the Queen's instruction. Otherwise, how could a little maid like her have such courage?
Today she went even further, she even dared to stand on the palace road and scare me again. You questioned her, but she dared not admit it. She is so arrogant, does she really think that I have no way to deal with her? "
Concubine Tian's tone was excited, and Zhaoshui stood there awkwardly. After all, she was not a member of the Yanxi Palace, and if she heard too many of Concubine Tian's angry words, she was afraid that she would be implicated.
But she couldn't leave quietly. If she was discovered, it would seem that she had something to hide. So she could only lower her head in embarrassment and listen to Concubine Tian getting angry on the couch.
"Didn't you say she was going to the Yangxin Palace? Send someone there immediately. As soon as she leaves the Yangxin Palace, bring her directly to the Yanxi Palace. You don't have to give face to anyone. Just say that it was my order. Do you understand?"
"This... Your Majesty, this is too bold, isn't it? This is outside the Emperor's Palace of Tranquil Longevity. Won't people think you don't respect the Emperor enough?"
“It happened outside the Yangxin Palace, not inside. This servant threatened me that she was suspected of murdering the Fourth Prince. I naturally have the right to arrest her and interrogate her.
What, are you questioning my decision?"
Concubine Tian was furious and didn't want to listen to Sang'er's advice. She looked at Zhaoshui beside her and said, "I believe you know what to say and what not to say.
You are a member of the Shengfei Palace, so I won't scold you too much. Just keep your mouth shut, understand?"
"I understand. Please rest assured, Empress Tian." Zhaoshui bowed her head and immediately withdrew at the signal of Empress Tian.
However, Zhaoshui immediately told Lingrong about this matter. When Lingrong sent someone out to inquire, Feiyun had already been captured by the people of Yanx Palace and was brought directly into the Yanx Palace.
Concubine Tian was becoming more and more daring. Lingrong sat on the couch for a long time, but finally chose to lie down and rest.
"Madam, why don't we go take a look?"
"No, didn't Concubine Tian tell you not to tell anyone? Then I don't know about this matter, so why should I go and see it?"
Lingrong turned over, Zhaoshui came over and covered Lingrong with the quilt, "But if Concubine Tian does this, there will definitely be a conflict with the Queen."
"This is a good thing for us and we should promote it." Ling Rong didn't care. She asked Zhaoshui to blow out the candle and slept comfortably all night.
Two pieces of news came early the next morning: Feiyun died and Concubine Tian was taken to Jingren Palace by the Queen.
