An Lingrong's Rebirth: Red

With the emperor's involvement, things sometimes become much simpler.

Especially when Lingrong walked in with the bright red slap mark on her face, the emperor only took a glance and felt embarrassed to look at her any longer.

At this time, his state of mind had completely calmed down, and he was not troubled by the invasion of drugs. Therefore, he was quite kind to Ling Rong, and even asked her if she had asked the imperial physician to see her and if she had applied medicine on her face.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. I have already done all these things. I guess it is because the medicine has the effect of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis that the swelling seems even more terrible."

"You are so seriously injured, why bother coming to see me?"

"If the emperor was in good health, I would not have gone to such great lengths to walk in this icy and snowy place. After all, Chengqian Palace is quite far from Yangxin Palace, and my knees still hurt after walking for such a long time."

Ling Rong deliberately raised her knees, which was to make the emperor feel more pity for her, "But now the emperor is not feeling well and is still very dependent on the medicine from Concubine Wan. I have to come to see the emperor and try to persuade him a little more."

"I know all about these things," the emperor's face immediately darkened. He counted the beads very quickly, and it was obvious that he was very annoyed. "Rong'er, don't worry too much. With the imperial physician taking care of you, nothing will go wrong."

The emperor's implication was that he would continue to take those medicines and did not want to hear Ling Rong's so-called words of persuasion anymore.

If someone else gave him the medicine without telling the emperor, Linglong's behavior might have been approved by the emperor, but now it was the emperor himself who wanted to take it, and Lingrong's persuasion became an obstacle.

“I don’t know what the effect of the medicine is, but since Your Majesty is so determined, I will not say anything more in the future.

But I still have one request. I hope that the emperor can give the medicine to Imperial Physician He, Imperial Physician Zhou, Imperial Physician Wei and others for research.

If they can retain the medicinal properties while removing the side effects of these drugs, then it will be a good thing for the emperor to use them.”

"I understand all these principles. If you have nothing to do, go back to the palace and rest as soon as possible."

"I will not bother you any more. I have to copy the palace rules when I go back today. If I waste time, I really won't be able to finish it."

"Copying palace rules?"

Normally, the emperor would not ask about such trivial matters, but Lingrong seldom caused trouble in the palace, so it was very rare for her to take the initiative to mention it like this.

More importantly, the emperor had just rejected Lingrong's concern. If he didn't ask at this time, it would make him seem heartless.

"I will not hide it from the emperor," Ling Rong sat in the same place and sighed deeply, "The Empress Dowager found out that I stopped the emperor from going to Yongshou Palace, and she sent someone to inquire about it.

But I guessed that the emperor might not want too many people to know about his affairs, so I asked the servant to report to the Empress and ask her to ask Eunuch Su.

In this way, if the Emperor is willing to tell, he will inform the Empress through Eunuch Su. If he is unwilling, the Empress will know why I didn't say it and will certainly not blame me.

But the Queen Mother did not seem satisfied with this answer, and she quickly sent someone to deliver a piece of cloth, asking for it to be displayed overnight and made into pajamas and sent over the next day.

I have an injury on my face and cannot stay up late to do the embroidery. But I am worried that the Empress will need it urgently, so I sent someone to deliver it to the embroidery room.

When paying respects in the evening, Zhaoshui was also sent to apologize to the Empress.

When the Empress was not satisfied with this result, she decided that I did not respect the Empress enough, so she punished me by making me copy the palace rules.

Ling Rong had brought it up on purpose, but now she had to pretend that she was not aggrieved, "I guess this servant was not accurate enough in conveying her meaning, and coupled with her impatient temper, it was inevitable that she would have conflicts with the people around the Queen.

All this is my fault, so I must copy the palace rules seriously.

Take the opportunity to copy the palace rules and remember and correct the things you have not remembered or have done poorly. "

"It's not a big deal. The wound on your face still needs to be healed. You don't need to follow the palace rules or wear pajamas.

Take good care of the wound on your face, and wait until you have fully recovered before you return to pay your respects to the Queen."

Lingrong was very satisfied with the result. These girls' affairs were trivial matters in the eyes of the emperor. As long as he got tired of listening, he would just brush them aside with one sentence.

She looked up and winked at Zhaoshui, revealing a very playful smile. Zhaoshui was also very happy and responded with a smile to Lingrong.

"As for my own affairs, I will explain them to the Queen in a few days, and you don't have to get involved."

"I understand." Lingrong agreed quickly, but she didn't want to give up on the emperor taking the medicine.

"Your Majesty, please allow me to ask you one more question. Is the source of the medicine you take really safe?" Ling Rong looked as if she wanted to say something but hesitated. "When I saw Your Majesty was so anxious to go to Yongshou Palace, I guessed that the medicine was given to Your Majesty by Concubine Wan.

I know that the Emperor dotes on Concubine Wan very much, but she is from the Zhen family. Her parents both died during exile, and she herself suffered for a long time in the bitter and cold Ningguta, and she is even unable to have children.

I am really worried that she will blame all these sufferings on the emperor, and I am even more worried that the medicine she provides will cause irreversible damage to the emperor's body..."

With a loud bang, the emperor threw the spider in his hand onto the table, interrupting Lingrong's words. She knew that the emperor was angry, so she immediately squatted down and apologized to him.

"You have no idea how deeply Concubine Wan loves me. Don't say these gossiping words in the future. Concubine Wan is young, and I don't know how long she will be sad after hearing them."

"Since Your Majesty has said so, I am relieved." Ling Rong lowered her head to hide the disgust in her eyes, "Zhen Yu... Wan is not Zhen Huan. There are indeed many differences between the two. Her sincerity to Your Majesty is evident to all.

Then I will not bother the emperor any further and will return to the palace to recuperate immediately, and will not delay in paying respects to the Empress."

The emperor waved his hand impatiently, and Lingrong immediately stood up and left. She hurried with Zhaoshui and met Su Peisheng on the way.

"Your Majesty, why are you leaving in such a hurry? I just finished brewing this pot of tea."

"I briefly mentioned Concubine Wan to the Emperor, which made him unhappy, so he left in a hurry."

Su Peisheng held the tea in his hand and frowned when he heard Concubine Wan. "Your Majesty should have guessed from the situation that day that the medicine the emperor took was provided by Concubine Wan."

"I did guess a little, so I mentioned it to His Majesty. But His Majesty trusts Concubine Wan very much, and he also believes that the medicine will not harm his body.

I have repeatedly advised His Majesty to give the medicine to the imperial physician of the Imperial Hospital, but His Majesty always evaded the question, saying that it was probably..."

Ling Rong let out a long sigh. She was really helpless about this matter. The emperor was determined to stick to this path and no one could change his mind no matter what they said or did.

"In fact, I also think that the medicine is not good," Su Peisheng hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke, "Every time the emperor takes it, he becomes very excited, and when he stays in Yongshou Palace, he calls for water many times overnight. The people in the room have tried to dissuade him many times, but it has no effect.

He even did not have a full night's sleep and often reviewed memorials by candlelight in the Yongshou Palace.

But what surprised me was that when the Emperor attended the morning court the next day, he did not show any sign of sleepiness or fatigue.

It was not until noon of the same day that he would suddenly feel sleepy, and occasionally he would sleep for more than an hour without waking up. After waking up, he would have no appetite at all, and would feel pain in his limbs.

I called the imperial physician many times, but he couldn't find any problems.

Soon after the emperor woke up, he would go to Yongshou Palace to see Concubine Wan again, and then continue to take the medicine. This cycle repeated itself, which was very scary. "

"In fact, there is one thing that I have always found strange," Ling Rong watched Su Peisheng hand the tea to Xiao Xiazi, and the group went to a slightly farther place to continue the conversation, "Noble Lady Wan came back from Ningguta, and her life as a slave to the armored men was not easy, and she did not have much chance to look for any precious medicinal materials.

How did she get this medicine that could help the emperor?

To be honest with you, Eunuch Su, I was actually suspicious of Prince Heng at first. After all, he traveled around the country and may have met some hermit medical experts."

"So... this is why the Queen asked me to keep an eye on Prince Heng's whereabouts."

Lingrong nodded, but it was obvious that although Prince Heng went to the palace quite a few times, it did not match the emperor's pattern of taking medicine.

"But Concubine Wan, how did she get the medicine when she was in such a condition before? Eunuch Su, do you know anything about these things?"

"This..." Su Peisheng hesitated rarely. He neither shook his head nor said categorically that he didn't know.

Seeing him like this, Ling Rong naturally knew that Su Peisheng knew some secrets.

"Since I have sworn to be loyal to you, Your Majesty, I can no longer hide this from you."

After thinking it over again and again, Su Peisheng finally spoke, "At first, I didn't know where the medicine came from, but because the emperor was stopped by the queen, he couldn't go to Yongshou Palace to take the medicine.

The emperor then sent a servant to secretly go to Yongshou Palace to get medicine.

But because Concubine Wan is under house arrest, there is no stock of this medicine left."

"You mean to say that the medicine in Concubine Wan's hand was taken from outside the palace."

Su Peisheng nodded, "Not only was it taken from outside the palace, but it was also taken from someone the Empress also knows."

"Is this someone I know?"

"Your Majesty will be very surprised when I say this name." Su Peisheng did not keep the topic in suspense for too long. Instead, he looked around and made sure that no one could hear him before lowering his voice and slowly uttering the three words Shen Zishan.

"What? It's him."

Su Peisheng nodded slowly and signaled Lingrong with his eyes to speak more quietly.

"I think the emperor is really confused. Who is Shen Zishan? She is the father of Concubine Hui! Concubine Hui had an affair with Doctor Wen, and the baby in her belly was lost. She herself died inexplicably.

It is impossible that Shen Zishan does not have a trace of resentment towards the emperor. How can we trust the medicine he brought back to the palace now? "

"This will involve another matter," Su Peisheng sighed again, but in his heart he even wanted to laugh because of this matter, "In fact, Concubine Hui is not dead."

Ling Rong had known about this for a long time, but she pretended to be ignorant in front of Su Peisheng, and even raised her voice, "What did you say?"

"Your Highness, let's keep our voices down. You heard it right. Concubine Hui is not dead, and she is in the palace now.

It is precisely because Concubine Hui is in the palace that the Emperor dares to use Lord Shen's medicine with confidence. With such a bargaining chip in hand, Lord Shen will never have second thoughts. "

"You won't have second thoughts?"

Ling Rong sneered. Shen Meizhuang could have enjoyed herself outside the palace, but she was captured and brought back to the palace by the emperor. Even though Shen Zishan was a loyal man, he was angered by this series of actions.

Maybe he didn't dare to usurp the throne, but that didn't mean he didn't dare to find a way to take the emperor's life.

If Wen Shichu were still alive, or even still working in the palace, Ling Rong couldn't imagine how poor the emperor's health would be now.

"No wonder the emperor can only get this kind of medicine from Concubine Wan. I can even guess who came up with this idea."

Zhen Huan, ah Zhen Huan, you are really a resourceful person. Even in Ningguta, you can reach into the palace.

It has to be said that she and the emperor are actually the same type of people. As long as they can achieve their goals, they can use all the available people or things around them.

Whether it was Shen Zishan, Shen Meizhuang or Zhen Yurao, they were all part of her plan, and even the emperor himself helped her perfect the plan.

It seems that whether in the past life or this life, Lingrong does not understand the emperor's nature as well as Zhen Huan.

It was a good thing that such a smart person was sent out of the palace early on, otherwise Ling Rong would not get any benefit if she fought with her.

"Your Majesty, in fact, I have always felt that this medicine is not good. But I was unable to comfort the Emperor, and I never thought that even Your Majesty could not be persuaded."

"You don't have to worry too much. I have already discussed this matter with Imperial Doctor He. Neither you nor I know any medical skills, so we can't give the emperor any useful advice.

But the imperial doctors are different. If they can develop more effective medicines, or eliminate the side effects of the medicine the emperor is currently using, the emperor will definitely be happy to see it happen."

Su Peisheng nodded, but he did not hold out hope at this time. After all, the medicine the emperor took had never left Yongshou Palace.

If the imperial doctors can’t get the medicine in their hands, how can they eliminate the side effects?

"In two days, when the emperor's health has stabilized, we will investigate the cause of the fourth prince's death.

Madam Shengfei, have you dealt with all the follow-up matters?"

"It seems that you still don't trust me enough. The medicine is still in your hands, so how can I do anything?

Now the Queen is in the limelight in the palace, and the previous dynasty is calling for the Fourth Prince to return to the royal family. I don't believe you can't figure out who was responsible for the Fourth Prince's death. "
