An Lingrong's Rebirth: Red

"Thank you, Imperial Doctor He," Ling Rong smiled bitterly and shook her head, "This drug will make the emperor's mind crazy, which is actually within my expectations."

"Then it seems that this medicine is also within the expectations of the queen."

Ling Rong lowered her eyes to look at the medicine bottle in Zhao Shui's hand, and after a while slowly shook her head, "I really didn't think of this. I haven't seen Doctor He for a long time, and I didn't expect you to be so attentive."

"As a subject, I should always consider my master." He Anming bowed and saluted, "Now, the emperor's condition is only temporarily stable. If Your Majesty does not want the emperor's health to continue to deteriorate, you must ask the emperor to stop taking the medicine.

Otherwise, the golden needles used by Wei Chen and Wei Lin can only suppress it temporarily."

"Imperial Doctor He also saw how much commotion we had today to stop the Emperor. We don't know what decision the Emperor will make after today.

The emperor had clearly found out that the drug was problematic, but he took it privately again and again. I really don’t understand why the emperor did that.”

"This matter... I may know something." He Anming spoke to Ling Rong without much hesitation, "Before taking these medicines, the emperor's health had deteriorated due to his age, especially in terms of memory. At first, the emperor just forgot some small things, but later on, many big things needed to be reminded by Eunuch Su before he could slowly remember them.

For this reason, the emperor had consulted all the imperial physicians in the Imperial Medical Bureau for treatment. In the past, the palace would invite famous doctors from the martial arts world from time to time, also because of the emperor's health.

Otherwise, how could the emperor allow those people from the underworld to enter and leave the harem at will?"

This was the first time Lingrong knew about this. After all, the emperor had always seemed to her to be in good condition, but she never expected that such a big problem would arise behind the scenes.

"But the Emperor's condition didn't seem to have such a big impact before."

"Your Majesty feels good. It was just some minor problems before, and the situation was not serious. But the emperor is very sensitive, and he has just found people from the Imperial Hospital and the public to diagnose and treat him.

The reason why the emperor trusts Imperial Physician Zhou so much is because this imperial physician has an exclusive secret recipe in this regard.

But as he got older, the secret recipe of Doctor Zhou seemed to lose its effect. So... the emperor began to look for other ways. "

"That's why the Emperor wants to take that medicine."

"According to my guess, it is indeed the case." He Anming couldn't be completely sure, but now, this speculation is indeed the most consistent with the facts at the moment.

Ling Rong thought about it and couldn't think of any other possibilities.

"Then if the emperor takes that medicine, will his memory improve?"

"For a short period of time, the emperor's emotions and spirit will be extremely excited. Because of this, the emperor can almost remember everything he sees.

So gradually the emperor became very dependent on this medicine and was willing to take it on his own initiative.

I don’t know who sent this medicine, the only thing I know is that this medicine did not come from the Imperial Hospital, but was brought back from the people.”

"Brought back from the folk..." Ling Rong murmured to himself. He once doubted Prince Shen, and now after hearing what He Anming said, this suspicion became even deeper.

If it was really him, how did he contact Zhen Yurao, and how did he make her willingly serve the emperor and administer medicine?

Could it be that Prince Shen also wanted to seize the throne? After all, he was very young, a little older than the two princes. If he really wanted to seize the throne, he would have some chances.

"Does your Majesty have a candidate in mind?"

“There is indeed a suspect, but there are many things I can’t figure out, so I need to send someone to investigate privately.

"I'll be thanking you and Wei Lin for taking good care of the Emperor these days. If possible, try not to let the Emperor take those drugs again."

He Anming sighed. It was not that he did not want to agree to Ling Rong, but it was really difficult for him, a royal physician, to do it.

"I will do my best, but this drug is indeed addictive. It is unknown whether the emperor can endure it."

Lingrong naturally knew that this was not an easy matter. After all, she was slapped by the emperor when she went to comfort him today. If it weren't for her children Hongyu and Youning, she might have lost her head today.

"I know that Imperial Physician He is in a very difficult situation, so I want you to make the emperor's condition sound as serious as possible. If the emperor is afraid, he will voluntarily reduce the amount of medicine he takes.

As for Eunuch Su, I will also ask him to pay attention and try his best to persuade the Emperor not to go to Yongshou Palace.

Fortunately, Concubine Wan had been confined by the Empress before, otherwise...it would be really hard to guard against."

"But no matter how hard your majesty tries, as long as the emperor's mind remains unchanged, you can't stop him."

He Anming did not hold out much hope for this matter, and he revealed a lot during the conversation with Lingrong, but Lingrong had done everything she could do now, and all that was left was to shamelessly come to the Yangxin Palace to see the emperor every day.

If the emperor still agrees to see her, it proves that the emperor also has the intention to adjust.

"Restricting the emperor is only a temporary solution, not to mention that the emperor is the Son of Heaven, who can really restrain him?

Unless Imperial Doctor He can come up with a way to cure the Emperor's forgetfulness, even if he can help temporarily, he won't be able to help forever."

“I will find a way, but your Majesty should not hold out too much hope. After all, even Imperial Physician Zhou has no solution.

I am not an expert in memory, so I am afraid I cannot provide any constructive help."

"Anyway, we don't have a better way, so just go for it bravely. If you need any medicinal materials, just ask the Imperial Pharmacy.

If you need money, please let me know at any time and I will find a way to help you."

"I understand." While he was talking, Lingrong's sedan chair came over. He Anming said no more. He bowed to Lingrong and left.

Zhaoshui put the medicine into his sleeve and then helped Lingrong get on the sedan chair. Everyone waited for He Anming's figure to disappear before they prepared to return to Chengqian Palace.

No one knew that Lingrong was slapped by the emperor, but all the concubines knew that three more imperial doctors were invited to the Yangxin Palace.

Many of the brave ones went directly to the Emperor's Yangxin Palace to ask for an audience and to inquire about the Emperor's health. The timid ones only dared to go to Jingren Palace and ask the Empress for news about the Emperor.

However, the Queen Mother didn’t know what had happened to the Emperor. After all, even the bamboo guard she sent was stopped outside the door by Su Peisheng.

"Empress, I heard that the Emperor was planning to go look for Concubine Wan, but was stopped by Concubine Sheng, and then the Yangxin Palace went to call the imperial physician.

You said... Could it be that Concubine Sheng and the Emperor had a conflict, and Concubine Sheng made the Emperor angry?"

Concubine Xin looked at the Queen tentatively, "Your Majesty, what do you think Concubine Sheng wants to do by going to see the Emperor?"

"What else can a woman in the harem do to the emperor? One is to win favor for herself, and the other is for the sake of the children."

"You mean to say that Concubine Sheng has thoughts that she shouldn't have. She wants the Eighth Prince to..."

The Queen tapped the table lightly, and Concubine Xin immediately shut her mouth. She rolled her eyes and boldly asked the Queen with her eyes.

"Don't let your imagination run wild all day. The Eighth Prince is so young. Even if Concubine Sheng has this idea, the Eighth Prince doesn't have the ability to do it."

Concubine Xin curled her lips in disbelief, "She can even take away Concubine Wan's favor. This Concubine Sheng is really capable."

"You already know her ability. Not only can she give birth to two children, but she can also keep herself favored for so many years. How many concubines in the palace can do that?

Let’s not talk about the others for now. You will lose more than you win in a fight with Lady Qi.”

Concubine Xin's expression froze, and she looked very unconvinced. "Concubine Qi has done everything she can to please the Emperor. I really don't want to use those methods."

"The Emperor is really concerned about you. Although he has never mentioned this status, he will visit you in Chuxiu Palace from time to time.

But you didn't live up to your expectations and let a little girl who had just entered the palace a few years ago steal the limelight."

"Your Highness, I am not young anymore, so it is normal that I am not favored by the Emperor."

When Concubine Xin heard the Queen mention the matter of status, her eyes immediately lit up. She took a sip of tea and tried to make her tone as calm as possible, "Your Majesty, do you think of my status..."

"Why? You want a position now."

"Your Majesty, no matter what, I helped you accomplish that thing.

You promised me before that you would raise my status and bring Shuhe back to your side."

The queen seemed to be smiling. She sat on the upper throne and looked down at Concubine Xin who was sitting on the embroidered cushion, as if she was looking at a bug.

Concubine Xin seemed unaware and continued looking at the Empress with anticipation.

"I remember that some people said they would rather have nothing."

"I did say that, but..." But wasn't that your threat? Concubine Xin felt resentful in her heart, but she didn't dare to say it out loud. "But the Queen has always been magnanimous, and she will definitely not hold it against me like this."

"You are wrong. I am a vindictive person and I am not as generous as Lady Wan."

After hearing what the Queen said, Concubine Xin finally understood that she was complaining about the fact that she and Concubine Wan were closer in the past.

"Empress, Concubine Wan is just a small noble, how can she compare with you?

I used to have a good relationship with her, but that was because she had just entered the palace. Besides, the Emperor also mentioned to me that I should visit her in Yongshou Palace from time to time to prevent Concubine Wan from being lonely.

I went over to take a look only after hearing the Emperor's words. Otherwise, with my lazy personality, I would have stayed in Chuxiu Palace and not gone anywhere.

Besides, Concubine Wan is a person who doesn't talk to people. If no one tells her to, I would have stayed away from her. How could I go up to her and curry favor with her?"

The Queen touched the back of her hand, revealing the exquisite armor. There was no change in her expression, but Concubine Xin felt uncomfortable all over.

She tried to relax her frown, lowered her head and drank tea to cover it up. If it wasn't for Shuhe, she wouldn't be willing to kowtow in front of others, like a slave.

“You can only take what I am willing to give you. You should do what I want you to do as soon as possible.

You have been in the palace for so long, and you haven't even learned this basic principle?"

"Your Majesty, I was ignorant before, but now, under your personal instruction, I have naturally learned it."

"It's good that you've learned it," the Queen finally smiled. She looked at the sunlight outside the window and revealed a trace of fatigue. "It's time for me to take a nap. You can go back first.

When His Majesty is better, I will bring this up to His Majesty."

After talking for a long time, Xin Guiren only got this sentence from the Queen. She was actually very dissatisfied. But she also knew that she couldn't continue to ask, otherwise it would only cause the Queen's dissatisfaction.

"Then I will not bother the Queen any more. Please take care of your health."

The Queen just nodded imperceptibly and closed her eyes. Concubine Xin was very dissatisfied and left with a lot of anger.

After she left, the queen opened her eyes. She thought for a while, but decided not to rush to the Yangxin Palace immediately.

After all, Zhuxi failed to find out about the emperor's situation, so he would be rejected even if he went there.

However, Concubine Sheng's behavior did make the Queen feel a little unusual, so after much thought, the Queen decided to send Qiyun to take a look.

There is no need to find many reasons, just make it clear that you want to know about the emperor's recent situation.

Qiyun was smart and went to Chengqian Palace as soon as the empress gave the order. However, Lingrong had a wound on her face, so she made an excuse of feeling unwell and kept Qiyun out of the door.

But Qiyun was very persistent and she wanted to meet Concubine Sheng no matter what.

"Miss Qiyun, my queen is not feeling well, so she can't see you. If you have anything to say to her, why not tell me first and I'll pass it on for you."

"It's not a big deal," Qiyun smiled slightly. She took a step closer to Zhaoshui. "The Queen heard that the Emperor called the imperial physician after Concubine Sheng went to the Yangxin Palace. So she sent this servant to ask if there was anything wrong with the Emperor's health."

"Wouldn't it be easier to ask the Emperor or Eunuch Su directly about this matter?" Zhaoshui was puzzled. She smiled and pointed in the direction of the Yangxin Palace. "Miss Qiyun has been in the palace for a long time. She must know the direction of the Yangxin Palace."

"Miss Zhaoshui, you are not giving face to the Empress by doing this." Qiyun stood still. She looked at the closed door and raised her voice slightly, "Or did Empress Sheng know that it was the Empress who sent someone here, so she deliberately refused to see them and told you to ask the Empress to ask in person?"

"That's an interesting thing to say." Zhaoshui was not afraid. She made a gesture of invitation. "My queen didn't say anything because she couldn't. If Miss Qiyun is determined to embarrass me, then you can report directly to the queen. I will be waiting in Chengqian Palace."
