An Lingrong's Rebirth: Red

"Looking for medicine?"

Xia Dongchun didn't know the truth about the emperor's medication, and simply thought that he was taking a drug like Wu Shi San. "I think the emperor is old and confused. He dared to take a drug like Wu Shi San. What's the point of asking Doctor He to leave the palace? If there is a better medicine than Wu Shi San in the world, it wouldn't be the turn of Wu Shi San to be passed down."

“You are right, but once a person has power and status and everything he has, he will start pursuing those illusory things.

You also know that the emperor is not young anymore, and it is normal for him to want to rely on medicine to restore his former health."

"Although he is old, his heart is young. He has been running to Concubine Wan's place all day long. He has stayed with her for seven or eight days in a row, but he doesn't seem to be tired. Maybe Concubine Wan's medicine is really effective?

I think He Anming is in great danger, so you'd better not help him, lest you get yourself into trouble."

"Don't worry about these things, I have my own arrangements." Ling Rong glanced at Xia Dongchun, "But you, who usually seem to have a good relationship with Concubine Tian, ​​can be so clear-headed at this time."

"I have a good relationship with her?" Xia Dongchun sneered, "It's just for the sake of face. She is born into the Fucha family, which makes her superior to me. Her status is much higher than mine. How dare I act rashly in front of her?

Now I can hold my head high. As long as I don't make any serious mistakes, I won't be demoted.

My father and mother also said that I still have the Ninth Prince by my side. Besides, the two imperial concubine positions are full, and even if Concubine Tian gets the emperor's mercy, she can only sit back as a concubine, and she will still be suppressed by me.

So, there is really nothing for me to be afraid of about her."

Ling Rong thought that Xia Dongchun had improved compared to her previous life, but she didn't expect that she dared to do these things because she listened to her parents.

No wonder she hid in the Yanx Palace when she was pregnant. It seems that it was all thanks to Madam Xia.

"Since you have a plan, I won't worry about it any more. After the enthronement ceremony is completed, your position as consort will be secure.

But I have one more thing to remind you, please invite the emperor to Jingyang Palace more often. This palace has been empty for too long. If the emperor comes less often, it will really be regarded as a cold palace. "

"You make it sound so easy. The Emperor sticks to Concubine Wan all day long. I wonder how difficult it is to see her."

"The emperor values ​​his offspring the most. Please ask the emperor to come and see the ninth prince. The emperor will definitely not refuse."

It was unknown whether Xia Dongchun had listened or not. Anyway, she nodded, and Lingrong assumed that she knew, so she stopped trying to persuade her. "After seeing you, I'll go see Concubine Jin. Youning hasn't seen Wen Yi for several days, and she keeps talking about him."

“I thought Youning would have a better relationship with Huai Ke, but I didn’t expect it to be Wen Yi.”

"That's because Wen Yi is so cute. Even though I have a daughter, I'd still like her when I see her."

Xia Dongchun curled her lips, lowered her head and teased her son who looked cold and noisy, and insisted on going for a walk with Lingrong.

"Why, you also think Wen Yi is cute and want to go see her."

"Nonsense, I just feel a little tired and want to go out and relax."

Xia Dongchun didn't care about Lingrong at all. He went in and changed into his cloak, urging Lingrong to get ready quickly.

"No matter how fast we go, we have to get back to the Yanxi Palace first. It was Youning who wanted to see Wen Yi, and I just reminded her about Concubine Jin's promotion."

"It's all fine. I want to go with you anyway." Xia Dongchun instructed Rushuang and the nanny, then followed Lingrong back to Chengqian Palace, took Youning with her, and went to Qixiang Palace to visit Cao Qinmo.

Upon hearing that Ling Rong was coming, Cao Qinmo had already been waiting with Wen Yi. As soon as the two little girls met, they went to the side hall to play, so Xia Dongchun couldn't hug either of them and could only stare at the backs of the two children.

"The arrival of the Imperial Concubine and the Concubine Xia together really brings glory to my humble Qixiang Palace."

"Sister, why are you so polite today? Youning missed her sister Wen Yi and insisted on coming here."

Lingrong never puts on airs about her position as a concubine or a noble concubine in front of others. After all, she has had a relatively smooth life in this life.

At first, she would feel a little aggrieved because of her low rank, but later on, she was almost always the one with the highest rank among those who entered the palace at the same time, and she deserved a lot of respect, so she no longer needed to use her rank to oppress others.

If she could be like this in her previous life, she wouldn't have been laughed at by others.

"Just let the Imperial Concubine know, and I'll take Wen Yi over there. It's freezing here, and it would be bad if the Imperial Concubine caught a cold."

"If you say that, sister, you will be alienated from me. Wen Yi has just recovered, so how can I bear to let her walk in the ice and snow.

Besides, if Youning wants to come, it’s better to ask her to come by herself.”

"Look at you two princesses, you are so good, you are not young anymore, you can take care of yourselves.

I don’t know what my little Nine will be like when he grows up, but he’s definitely not as caring as the princess.”

"Empress Xia is feeling annoyed now, but she will be happy when the prince grows up." Cao Qinmo sighed. When she thought about the princess' future, she was not happy even after being promoted to the position of concubine.

"Yes, the princesses in the palace are indeed precious, but when the country is in trouble and men cannot fight in the battlefield, it is these princesses who will suffer."

Lingrong also sighed along with Cao Qinmo. Both of them had princesses as their children. Youning was better off as she wouldn't suffer much as long as Hongyu was around.

"If a princess has to take care of everything, what's the point of having men?"

Xia Dongchun snorted. Although she was filled with righteous indignation, she was not as worried as Lingrong and Cao Qinmo. She even felt a little lucky that it was a boy.

When Ling Rong saw that expression, she knew what Xia Dongchun was thinking, but she did not expose him. After all, it was not easy for him to say such words.

The emperor and the ministers of the previous dynasty only thought that it was a good thing to not spend a single soldier, and they felt that sacrificing a woman's happiness was worth it.

But it is actually hard to say which is good or bad.

"I also think that the princess shouldn't bear such a responsibility, but things are unpredictable, and we can't just choose not to go for the marriage if we want to."

"If it's a marriage alliance, just find a palace maid or a woman from the clan to deal with it. The emperor won't be willing to let his daughter suffer."

"All parents in the world are the same. How can you bear to let your daughter suffer?"

Ling Rong shook her head, signaling Xia Dongchun not to continue talking about this matter, "But these things are still a long way off, just live in the present, and besides, your sister's status is getting higher and higher, Princess Wen Yi will definitely not suffer."

"My sister is right. We don't know what will happen in the future. Right now, the border is relatively stable. When the time comes for a marriage, she might have already been promised to a good family."

"Then sister, you must open your eyes and choose a good husband for Wen Yi."

Cao Qinmo smiled when she heard this. She could actually smile a little when this matter was mentioned, and she kept saying that she needed Concubine Sheng's help.

"When that day comes, the Japanese royal family will definitely help us and will definitely choose a good son-in-law for our little Wen Yi."

"I want one too, I want one too," Xia Dongchun said excitedly, "When the time comes to choose a wife for Xiao Jiu, you two must help choose one."

"At that time, it is the emperor who makes the final decision. The most we can do is to give suggestions and see which daughter is better."

"I don't care. Xiaojiu is the youngest now. When your sons and daughters have chosen their wives and consorts, they all need to come and help me."

"You are so young, and you are already thinking about marrying a concubine. I guess you are not doing this for the Ninth Prince, but to find a companion for yourself."

Lingrong laughed mischievously, and Cao Qinmo followed suit, causing Xia Dongchun to stamp her feet. She even stood up and went to the side hall to find the two princesses.

Lingrong and Cao Qinmo looked at each other and waited until Xia Dongchun disappeared before they laughed twice.

"I came here today not only to bring Youning to play, but also to remind my sister about the promotion ceremony later."

"My sister is the protagonist of this promotion ceremony, so I will just go through the motions. What about my sister? Is everything ready now?"

"Now all that's missing is the auspicious attire. The fifteenth of this month is a good date, and once the auspicious attire is finished, it will be ready in time."

"The fifteenth of this month is indeed auspicious. We really benefited from you this time." Cao Qin smiled gently, "I heard that the emperor issued the order to promote me only after I came out of Chengqian Palace. I think my position as a concubine cannot be achieved without my sister's good words."

"No, the Emperor wanted to promote my sister. I just asked if there was a sister. If the Emperor said no, I would have the opportunity to speak well of my sister.

Look, the emperor never gave my sister such an opportunity, and it is my sister who is still remembered by the emperor."

Cao Qinmo shook her head, as if she didn't believe that she could be remembered by the emperor. "This promotion was not something the emperor wanted to do. To put it bluntly, it was because there were a lot of things going on in the palace recently that he got this position."

"It was the Empress who mentioned this to the Emperor. If you want to thank someone, you should probably thank the Empress."

"You are quite perceptive," Cao Qinmo motioned Yinxiu to go out and closed the door, "Before the Queen's promotion decree came down, she sent someone to inform me that I would be promoted to the position of concubine soon.

There were even hints in the words that it was the Queen's help that enabled me to obtain the position of a concubine, and that I should remember to repay her kindness.

Sister, why don't you think about it, what on earth does the Queen want me to repay her kindness for?"

"Since Sister is asking this, the Queen is asking Sister to deal with me."

Lingrong was not surprised at all that the Queen wanted to deal with her, but she was surprised that the Queen actually planned to use Cao Qinmo to do this.

"Sister, you are really perceptive. The Queen has sent people here twice, and she came here in person yesterday.

She saw that I wanted to climb up the social ladder, so she used the position of imperial concubine to lure me. If someone else took the position of imperial concubine, I might really be tempted.

But now that I know it's my sister, I've put that thought aside."

Cao Qinmo had to admit that she was a little moved, but Concubine Sheng not only had a son and a daughter, but was also favored by the Emperor, so it was really difficult to murder her.

What's more, she was too lazy to realize that the Queen's current position was in jeopardy, and there was really no need to harm others at this time.

It was precisely because she had thought all these things through that she revealed all of the Queen's plans today and did Lingrong a favor.

"Sister, you really have good intentions for Wen Yi."

"If Wen Yi was a boy, I wouldn't have to think so much and I wouldn't be so easily manipulated.

Sister, the Queen is now planning to deal with you, so you must be careful."

Ling Rong hummed, and was also curious about how the Queen planned to deal with her, "Sister, has the Queen told you how to deal with me?"

"Now that my sister is a royal concubine, there are not many ways to bring you down, such as confusing the royal bloodline, colluding with foreign enemies, or using witchcraft.

No matter which method is used, it is enough to kill my sister."

Cao Qinmo didn't say it explicitly, but from her words, it can be confirmed that the Queen wanted to use the first method.

"The Queen is really bold in thinking of confusing the royal bloodline." Ling Rong snorted and laughed, "Youning is a good omen and is liked by the Emperor and Prince Yi. If the Queen wants to frame him, she must start with Youning.

If she succeeds, the emperor will probably order the death of mother and daughter. In this way, she can give up the position of imperial concubine smoothly, and even Hongyu will be implicated. Sister, my guess should be correct. "

"..." Cao Qinmo did not respond immediately. She looked at Lingrong calmly, "Sister, your guess is right, but I am not sure how the Queen will implement it."

"The Queen can't find any evidence against me in this matter." Ling Rong looked at Cao Qinmo. She didn't completely believe this person at this moment, but she still had a smile on her face. "Sister, it's not easy for me to be liked by others with my looks and talent.

If the Queen uses this method, she won't even be able to find the adulterer."

"Sister, you are so naive," Cao Qin sighed, "Who among the imperial doctors and guards in the palace is not a possible target for framing?

My sister has been in the palace for so long, there must be many imperial physicians running to Chengqian Palace. If the Empress wants to, it is extremely easy to bribe an imperial physician to throw dirty water on you.

Especially Imperial Doctor He and Imperial Doctor Wei, you are used to them. If you really bribed them, have you explained it clearly, sister?"

"That's really hard to explain." The more Lingrong listened, the more familiar it sounded. Wasn't this the same method that the Queen used to deal with Zhen Huan in her previous life?

“At that time, the Queen will definitely bring up the blood test, adding something like alum to the water, so that even if there is no blood relationship, the blood can mix.

In this case, I will not be able to explain myself no matter what, and I will be beheaded for the reputation of confusing the royal bloodline."

Cao Qinmo looked at Lingrong, somewhat surprised that she could guess it so clearly, "Sister is really smart, she actually guessed the whole story so clearly.

It seems that the Queen has chosen the wrong person this time. If she really does, she will only bring about her own destruction."
