An Lingrong's Rebirth: Red

"Why pretend not to know each other? Could it be that the bond between sisters will become weaker due to power and status?"

"Empress Sheng, we sisters don't need outsiders to interfere in our affairs."

Since Concubine Wan didn't want to talk about it, Ling Rong didn't say any more. She said calmly, "Not long after the emperor woke up, he rushed to Yongshou Palace. After asking, I found out that he came to you to get medicine.

I am really curious about this medicine, so I want to take a look at it."

"Since you want to see the medicine, why do you have to beat around the bush and repeatedly mention the Zhen family and my sister?"

"That's because your sister and I used to call each other sisters. Now that I see you who looks very similar to her, it's natural for me to bring up the past."

"I haven't heard of any sisterhood between the two of you in the past."

Lingrong shook her head and did not say more on this topic. After all, even if Zhen Huan herself was sitting here, she would not know that the sisterhood Lingrong was talking about was actually from the previous life.

However, even Lingrong herself was not clear about how much other things were mixed into the so-called sisterhood.

"Since Lady Wan has no intention of hiding the medicine, could you please take it out and show it to me?"

"If Concubine Sheng wants to see, then go ahead." Concubine Wan stood up suddenly, she moved lightly to stand in front of Lingrong, her eyes fell from above on Lingrong's face, and she stared at her deeply for a long time.

The look in his eyes was extremely focused, but even Ling Rong couldn't see through the expression in his eyes.

Lingrong originally thought that Concubine Wan came closer to show her the medicine, but she never expected that the next moment Concubine Wan began to undress. In Lingrong's shocked gaze, she had already taken off the Longhua around her neck and untied the knots on her cloak.

This series of actions frightened Ling Rong. She was stunned for a long time before she subconsciously raised her hands to cover her eyes.

"My Lady Wan, what are you doing? Why are you suddenly undressing in front of me?"

"Empress Sheng, don't you want to see the medicine?" Concubine Wan's tone was very calm. She had stopped what she was doing, and her eyes were still looking down at Ling Rong. "If I don't undress, how can you see the medicine that the emperor misses day and night?"

Ling Rong looked up through her fingers and saw that Concubine Wan had finally stopped, so she put her hand down. "You knew clearly that the medicine I was talking about was not yours, so why did you do such a thing and embarrass yourself in front of others?"

“There are only you and me here. If Concubine Sheng doesn’t go out and talk nonsense, I have nothing to be ashamed of.

Besides, I never care what others think about what I want to do. I am the only one who can judge me.

Even if you are the noble Concubine Sheng, or even the current emperor, you cannot set limits on my thoughts. "

Concubine Wan placed her fingers on the knot again and pretended to continue taking off her clothes.

"Noble Lady Wan," Ling Rong stopped her, "If you continue to behave like this, I will have to follow the palace rules."

"Palace rules? I'm changing my clothes in my own palace. What palace rules have I violated?

What's more, it's Concubine Sheng who wants to see the medicine. If you don't want to see it, just say so."

Lingrong saw the provocation in Concubine Wan's eyes. She narrowed her eyes slightly, not caring about Concubine Wan's behavior. She nodded and leaned back in her chair.

"Undressing in front of others and causing panic, unless you are mentally ill, I'm afraid you wouldn't do this.

Then it is not a bad idea for me to send you to the cold palace for treatment on the grounds that you have gone insane. You don't have to worry about being lonely in the cold palace, after all, Concubine Hui is in the cold palace.

But after thinking it over, since you insist on showing me the so-called medicine, then I can't refuse. It won't be too late to make a conclusion after seeing it.

Then, Lady Wan, please go in."

Lingrong raised her hand and made a gesture of invitation. This time it was Concubine Wan's turn to hesitate. Her fingers were placed on the knot and she did not move for a long time.

"How do you know that Concubine Hui is in the cold palace?"

"How would I know?" Ling Rong smiled and pointed at Concubine Wan. "Because of you, because you gave the emperor the medicine, and because you are Zhen Huan's sister."

Concubine Wan still couldn't figure it out. There was a hint of confusion in her eyes, which Lingrong caught easily.

"Because I went to Ningguta to visit Zhen Huan, she talked more about the emperor's health and the affairs of the palace, and naturally learned about the secret between you two."

"What did you say? You caught the eldest sister!"

"This is in the palace. I advise Concubine Wan to pay attention to the hierarchy." Ling Rong smiled and motioned Concubine Wan to sit back in her seat. "It is precisely because of the conversation with Zhen Huan that I came to your palace to see the medicine.

But you refused to tell the truth and even tried to present yourself as the medicine to me. Do you think that everyone in this palace is a fool and can be manipulated at will?

In fact, even if you don't tell me, I still have a way to get the formula of the medicine. After all, I have your sister in my hands, and she must know some information. I am right, right?"

Concubine Wan blinked rapidly, she was thinking very quickly, trying to figure out whether what Lingrong said was true or false.

However, after she entered the palace, she had no connections and the emperor kept a very strict control over her, so she didn't even have any chance to pass on information to the outside world.

But before entering the palace, they had already established contact with Shen Zishan. Logically speaking, the sister should have been under the protection of the Shen family.

It’s just that my sister was in Ningguta because of the emperor’s order, so the Shen family couldn’t take my sister away. In this case, it is possible that Concubine Sheng did send someone to Ningguta to contact my sister.

Moreover, with Concubine Sheng's current power and status, it would be very easy for her to avoid the detection of the emperor's men and place people to monitor her sister.

but……

Concubine Wan gritted her teeth. Even if her sister was really caught, she could not give out the recipe of the medicine. What if the female doctor beside Concubine Sheng was Xinglin Feeling, then the old emperor who killed his parents would get the advantage.

Therefore, I have to grit my teeth no matter what. Even if Concubine Sheng knows everything, I have to pretend to be dead to the end.

"If that's the case, please ask Concubine Sheng yourself," Concubine Wan retied her knot and put on her dragon flower neatly again, "The emperor only used this medicine when he came to Yongshou Palace. As for the others, I don't know.

Whether Concubine Sheng believes it or not, the fact is just that.”

"That's interesting," Ling Rong was not annoyed. She held her chin with her hands and looked at Concubine Wan's dragon flower. "Could it be that Concubine Wan is the medicine for the emperor? No wonder every time the emperor comes, he will spend the whole night with Concubine Wan.

The next morning, I was able to attend the morning court session refreshed and energetic, without any sign of fatigue.

Don't you think you are too pitiful to use your body as a medicine guide?"

Concubine Wan gave a disdainful smile. It was natural for a woman to take care of her body while living in the world, but when she was in hell, she was forced to hurt herself in order to survive.

In this deep palace, Concubine Sheng is actually no different from herself. They are just toys in the hands of the emperor.

But I am different from Concubine Sheng. People like the emperor should die in the most painful torture.

In order to achieve this goal, it doesn't matter if I sacrifice myself. Once this dog emperor dies, it will be a new life and future.

"I was forced to enter the palace, and I was also forced to serve the emperor and administer medicine. It is my fate that should be pitied, not my decision."

Concubine Wan sat back in her chair and took a sip of tea. "It's not a secret that the emperor is taking medicine now, so it's normal for Concubine Sheng to know about it.

But you actually knew that Concubine Hui was in the palace. It seems that you have worked hard in private. If you don't want me to tell the emperor about this, I advise you not to think about taking action against my sister anymore.

Otherwise, even if it means risking my life, I will drag you down with me.

You were raised in the backyard when you were young, and in the harem when you were older. You have seen a lot of conspiracies and intrigues."

Concubine Wan fumbled through her sleeves and quickly pulled out a dagger with a sharp blade, "But Concubine Sheng must have never seen the dagger piercing into the body, nor the blood spurting out when it was pulled out.

If you continue to use this as an excuse to cause trouble, I don't mind letting you have a taste of being killed with one blow."

"Really?" Ling Rong was not frightened by Concubine Wan's words. She immediately stood up and walked quickly to Concubine Wan, "You dare to threaten me with an unsharpened dagger. You are completely different from your sister.

You are smart enough, but you are really not suitable for the environment of the harem. I am kind enough to tell you one more thing - being too rigid in the harem will easily lead to failure, and a combination of rigidity and flexibility is the long-term solution. "

Ling Rong raised her hand, and the armor gently tapped on the blade of the dagger, "I will not belittle your decision, nor will I look down on your personality, but the harem is cannibalistic, if you don't want to follow the rules, you must have the corresponding rights.

But what do you have now? A life that is not afraid of death, a drug of unknown composition, and you thought you were seeking justice for the Zhen family and yourself, but in fact you were just making wedding clothes for others.

If the Shen family could really give you some help, why would Zhen Huan suffer in Ningguta?

Besides, Shen Meizhuang herself is still alive, why doesn't she become the medicine guide and destroy the culprit who ruined her life? Why did it have to be you, have you ever thought about it?"

Ling Rong pressed the dagger down, then turned around and sat back in her original position, "Besides, I just want to take a look at the medicine, and I won't disrupt your plan."

"You are joking, Concubine Sheng. There is no plan at all. Besides, the medicine the emperor is taking has already been checked by Imperial Doctor Zhou. There is no problem at all.

Please don't talk nonsense, it will only damage my reputation if it gets out. I don't want to be suspected by the emperor and lose his favor."

It seems that the two people really could not reach an agreement today, but Concubine Wan also implicitly admitted that she was using her body as a medicine guide to assist the emperor in taking the medicine. Telling this news to the imperial physician might be able to find some clues.

But this information was a bit too private, so they could only ask Zhaoshui and Xiaochizi to act as middlemen to inform He Anming and Wei Lin.

"Since this medicine is so safe, I won't ask any more questions. Your body hasn't recovered yet, so you need to take better care of it.

Seeing how much you care about favor, I'm sure you'll be able to attract the Emperor in a few days. By then, it won't be a problem to get promoted.

If we can both be concubines, I would like to ask Concubine Wan to take good care of me in the future."

Concubine Wan did not reply. She silently wiped the dagger in her hand. Her fierce look was somewhat similar to Ye Lanyi.

I don’t know how Ye Lanyi is doing now. She has enough money and a cat. Her life may be much more comfortable than in the palace.

"Your Highness," Zhaoshui came over immediately when she saw Lingrong coming out, "Lotus has not gained Concubine Wan's trust, so it is not easy for her to get the medicine, but she will pay more attention to it in the future and find a way to get some."

"It's hard for her," Ling Rong nodded, then sighed, "Sometimes I even wonder if it's necessary to get this medicine. We have a lot of bargaining chips in our hands, so there's actually no need to take this risk."

"It's better to be prepared, Your Majesty." Zhaoshui didn't have any real feelings about what Lingrong did, "In fact, under your various interventions, the emperor has no choice.

And...if you want, Eighth Prince actually has a chance too."

"To be honest, sometimes I feel that Youning is pretty good." Lingrong looked into the distance, "She has a good memory and learns things very quickly. Hongyu is totally incomparable to her.

The Fifth Prince is gloomy and irritable, and the Third Prince is close to the Queen, which are actually not good choices.

Not only the Emperor, but even I feel that the Emperor has too few sons, and it is not easy to choose one that suits his heart."

“In fact, I also think Princess Youning is the most suitable. The emperor also likes the princess very much. It is not impossible for the imperial power to fall into the hands of a woman.

This way, Your Majesty won't have to worry about the princess marrying far away."

"It's easier said than done," Lingrong patted Shui's hand. She had imagined countless times what Youning would look like as an empress, but in the end she slowly suppressed her pressure - first remove the remaining obstacles and then make a choice. There was actually still time.

"The Emperor already knows what the Empress has done. The death of the Fourth Prince combined with the Empress's will be the last straw that breaks the camel's back.

Even the Queen Mother's decree will not save the Queen."

"Mrs. Fucha has been sending visiting cards these past two days. Madam, do you want to meet her?"

“It would be good to meet them. They love their daughter deeply and are worried that Concubine Tian is suffering in the palace.

As soon as I see her, I can speak up for Concubine Tian and say a few good words to the Emperor. I can also add fuel to the fire with Madam Fucha and talk about the Empress's evil deeds.

If the rumors about the queen from the previous dynasty continue, it will be enough to force the emperor to take action against the queen."
