An Lingrong's Rebirth: Red

"I just discovered that there are traces of butterfly perfume powder on the back of Lady Tian."

"This is important evidence. Why didn't Imperial Doctor He report it to the Emperor?" Ling Rong wasn't the one who put the perfume powder on Concubine Tian anyway, so she naturally didn't care if anyone found out. "The one who put it behind Concubine Tian's back without being discovered must be the person Concubine Tian trusts the most."

Ling Rong was frank. She simply helped He Anming analyze who did this. "There aren't too many palace maids in Lady Tian's palace. Imperial Doctor He might as well have seen everyone. That would give you peace of mind, right?"

He Anming was stunned. He didn't know why he could read a hint of sarcasm in Miss An's tone.

"I checked yesterday. The perfume powder did not come from the Yanxi Palace, and it is different from the one made by Doctor Zhou for Concubine Tian."

Ling Rong just pretended to be puzzled. She pretended to be thoughtful, and after a while she looked up at He Anming, "Doctor He came to Chengqian Palace today. Do you suspect me?"

Of course He Anming couldn't admit that he really suspected this Miss An. After all, she and Zhen Changzai had a long-standing grudge, so it was possible that she did this to frame someone.

But apart from herself, Miss An didn't seem to have any imperial physician she was familiar with, so how could she get the musk powder easily?

So he came here today just to suspect that the perfume powder on Concubine Tian was put on by this young lady. "Of course, I dare not doubt the young lady," He Anming bowed, "but Concubine Tian is not very clear that she has hay fever. I don't know who knew it and used it to harm her."

Not to mention Concubine Tian, ​​even Ling Rong who came back to life wouldn't know.

In her previous life, Concubine Tian did not get hay fever at the flower-viewing banquet. The royal heir in her belly fell out from under the impact of the royal cat's pine nuts.

"Doctor He, Concubine Tian is not aware of it, but you know it very well. Now that the weather is getting warmer and the flowers are blooming, think carefully, has Concubine Tian had any symptoms during this period of time?"

He Anming immediately understood what Ling Rong meant. If Concubine Tian had any subtle symptoms and was noticed by someone who knew about hay fever, they might use this to harm Concubine Tian.

Since Concubine Tian entered the palace, He Anming has been taking care of her body. After she became pregnant, Concubine Tian would occasionally experience redness on her cheeks and slight itching when she came into contact with pollen.

But after all, it was only a very mild symptom, and it would go away after applying some ointment. He Anming had the opportunity to see too many noble ladies, and he couldn't tell who they were.

"After all, this is the harem, and there are not many people who know medicine. Maybe she was seen by someone from the Imperial Hospital." Seeing that he didn't say anything, Ling Rong knew that Concubine Tian must have had symptoms, but she didn't know if there was any concubine in the harem who knew medicine.

If Lingrong were to guess, it could only be the Queen. She knew some medical skills, so it wouldn't be difficult for her to identify hay fever.

But the blame for harming Concubine Tian had to be put on Zhen Huan, so Ling Rong naturally didn't want to reveal that she knew the Queen knew medical skills.

Not many people know that the queen is proficient in medicine, so He Anming will not be able to find the real murderer for a while at least.

"Then I will check the imperial physicians who often come to the harem to see patients these days." He Anming bowed slightly, but he still had doubts about Ling Rong. "But musk is harmful to the body. Lady An must have taken a lot of it. You should still drink some of this nourishing soup."

Anyway, I have drunk a lot of medicine in the past few months, so it doesn’t matter if I drink one bowl more or one bowl less.

But recently He Anming began to doubt himself, and he was not so brave to drink the medicine sent by the imperial physician.

Ling Rong only glanced at the prescription, and then turned her gaze back to He Anming, "Although Imperial Doctor He dared not doubt it, he still doubted it. This young lady really dare not drink this medicine."

"...But I will not harm you, my lord. After all, a doctor is kind-hearted."

Ling Rong laughed out loud when she heard this. Wasn't it Concubine Tian who asked you to bring the musk from Ledao Hall into the palace? If you were really a kind-hearted doctor, how could you do such a thing?

"Where did you say the musk in Le Dao Tang came from? Doctors have a kind heart. I don't believe it."

The hall fell into a long silence for a moment. He Anming just stood there straight, neither saying that he knew nor that he didn't know.

"Either you are a good person or a bad person. You are neither up nor down like this. Do you think you are swinging on a swing?"

He Anming laughed out loud at this remark, and could no longer maintain his serious expression. He shook his head slightly and sighed, "My young master is smart. Although I am a bad man, I will not harm you.

If you don't believe me, just ask Miss Zhaoshui to get the medicine and ask a few more imperial doctors to check it out."

Sure enough, Lin Musk was brought into the palace by He Anming at the request of Concubine Tian. Although Ling Rong said that she believed him, she was already planning to find another doctor in the Imperial Hospital.

After finally sending Doctor He away, Lingrong sighed and asked Zhaoshui to go to the Imperial Hospital to get medicine and see if there was a doctor named Wei Lin.

In the previous life, without Wen Shichu, Wei Lin helped Zhen Huan a lot. Ling Rong was thinking about whether Wei Lin could become Wen Shichu's apprentice. If not, she might as well give him a chance.

After a few days, I heard that Concubine Tian's health had improved a lot, and the redness and swelling on her face due to hay fever had completely subsided. However, she still could not go out freely due to her miscarriage and could only walk around the palace.

Lingrong also went to see Concubine Tian once during the process. She kept saying the same things over and over again, saying that Zhen Huan had a vicious heart and that she wanted to rush to Yongshou Palace and kill her enemies.

Knowing Concubine Tian's temper, Lingrong could only persuade her again not to argue with the Emperor about how to deal with Zhen Huan.

But it was obvious that Concubine Tian did not listen. She cried and made a fuss with the emperor yesterday, which finally made the emperor angry and he ran to Concubine Fu.

Taking advantage of the news that Concubine Zhen was under house arrest and Concubine Tian lost her child, Fu Da Ying suddenly became the most favored person in the harem.

She was not good at poetry, but she was willing to ask the emperor to teach her, and occasionally she could talk to the emperor. Although she could not talk to the emperor as much as Zhen Huan, she made the emperor see her feelings and was happy to favor her.

During this period, the emperor would occasionally come to Chengqian Palace. After Lingrong returned from Tangquan Palace, she was often favored by the emperor. Although she was not the most favored, she was never forgotten.

The attention of the women in the harem is often taken away by the most favored one, while Lingrong, on the other hand, lives in peace and security, receiving rewards from time to time.

Of course, there is another interesting thing. After Zhen Huan was put under house arrest, Shen Meizhuang, who had initially called for clearing Zhen Huan's grievances, did not take any action.

Shen Meizhuang did not focus only on her Huan'er, but her relationship with the emperor became even better than before.

Lingrong thought that Shen Meizhuang would be cold to the emperor, but she didn't expect that she was just like Zhen Huan in her previous life. Even if her sisters were wronged by the emperor, she would not give up the grace that was within her reach and would keep pleading for her sisters.

"This Concubine Shen has finally grown some brains." Ling Rong sighed, but she didn't know what to feel in her heart.

She also wanted to have a close sister in the palace, but she also knew that she was not suitable for such an intimate relationship. After all, if she was not the only one, she would unconsciously become jealous and eventually make a big mistake.

"I don't think so." Baoque served lunch to Lingrong. When she heard Shen Guiren's name, she pouted and snorted, "Why didn't Shen Guiren do something else? She insisted on exchanging the mung bean soup for cash. I didn't even see a penny.

Even the lady's regular dishes have been reduced by half, how can she be full?"

"It's not your place to talk about the young lady behind her back," Ling Rong looked at the table full of vegetables and didn't have much appetite for a moment. Bao Que was young and sometimes he spoke without thinking, so he needed to be taught a lesson. "Do you know what to do?"

"I understand. I will copy the palace rules carefully." Baoque lowered her head unhappily. It was obvious that the loss of both mung bean soup and silver was too much of a shock to her.

"Zhaoshui has gone to cook mung bean soup. You guys are indispensable in these matters." Lingrong saw that Baoque was really sad, and finally spoke a word of comfort.

Hearing that she could still have mung bean soup, Baoque's frown finally relaxed, but when she looked at the dishes on Lingrong's table, her frown withered again.

"It's hot in the summer, so it's better to eat something light." The weather was getting hotter. Lingrong had no appetite to begin with, and she was even secretly calculating when she could go to the Old Summer Palace to escape the summer heat.

It was not surprising that Shen Meizhuang proposed a discount on mung bean soup and a half-price reduction on regular dishes. She had just obtained the power of the palace and was favored by the emperor, so naturally she wanted to achieve some results.

However, these favored concubines only have some vegetables to use. I wonder if the confined Zhen Huan can have a meal that is not spoiled.

If Zhen Huan knew that her sister Mei personally found ways to torture her while she was under house arrest, I wonder how happy the scene would be.

They had no charcoal to burn in the winter and no food to eat in the summer. Who could be more miserable than them?

"Bao Que, now that Concubine Zhen is under house arrest in Yongshou Palace, have you seen Imperial Doctor Wen enter the harem to diagnose patients?"

"Yes, he went to Yanqing Palace every time. Um... four times." Baoque has been keeping a close eye on him every day since he received this task. I'm afraid that Doctor Wen has even forgotten how many times he has been to Yanqing Palace.

"I think Concubine Duan's health has improved a lot." But she won't have many days of happy days left. Now that Concubine Jing and Noble Lady Shen are balancing Concubine Hua, the Empress Dowager no longer needs to use Concubine Duan to warn Concubine Hua.

"But there were two more visits to Cunju Hall." Bao Que was quite confused. She couldn't understand how a doctor could gain the trust of so many concubines. "My lady, is this Imperial Doctor Wen very skilled? Is he better than Imperial Doctor He?"

This question stumped Ling Rong. She didn't know much about medicine, so how could she tell which of the two doctors was better? "Who do you think is better?"

"I think Imperial Doctor He is more capable. My young lady is now in much better shape. She was too thin when she first entered the palace."

"If that's the case, then the emperor, Noble Lady Tian, ​​and Concubine Xia may have the best medical skills." Lingrong is in good health now, and it is inseparable from the contribution of these three people, but she didn't want to say more, waved her hand and sent Baoque down to drink mung bean soup.

After a while, Zhaoshui came in with a bowl of cold mung bean soup. Like Baoque, she also complained that she shouldn't have thrown away the mung bean soup.

"Even you are so angry, I wonder what will happen in Yongshou Palace." The cold green bean soup finally whetted her appetite. Lingrong drank it slowly and soon finished the bowl. "We must find a way to let Zhen Changzai know that Shen Guiren has reduced the amount of the regular dishes. Find a way to pass a message to Xiao Yunzi and tell him to just say that I heard someone say that the regular dishes could not be finished, so I deliberately reduced the amount by half."

"My lady, why don't you just say that it was Concubine Shen who did it?" Zhaoshui was a little confused. If he beat around the bush like this, Concubine Zhen might not necessarily hold a grudge against Concubine Shen.

"It's just to make her think wildly. After all, she has been under house arrest for such a long time, so she must think of something interesting.

With Zhen Changzai's intelligence, she could immediately tell that someone was taking advantage of the power of assisting the six palaces to carry out reforms to gild himself.

If she had not fallen out of favor and been confined to her house, it would not have had any impact on her, but proposing this method at this time would only make her wonder whether it was done intentionally.

Zhaoshui, if you were Concubine Zhen, which one of the people who has the power to assist in managing the six palaces do you think would do this? "

Zhaoshui blinked, "Her Majesty the Queen has always been virtuous and would not deliberately make things difficult for us. Her Majesty the Concubine Hua has always been generous with money and would not suggest reducing the standard dishes.

Concubine Jing and Concubine Zhen have no grudges against each other, and Concubine Shen and Concubine Zhen have always been good friends. My lady, I can’t choose. "

"No matter who she thinks it is, she will eventually feel resentment and hatred. When she finally leaves Yongshou Palace after suffering so much torture, she finds out that the idea came from her best sister. What do you think she will do?" Ling Rong glanced at the cabbage soup on the table and sighed helplessly, "I really don't know how long this will last."

No one had ever thought that the policy of reducing the portion of dishes by half would last for nearly a month and a half.

The Forbidden City has entered its hottest period, and without the cold mung bean soup to drink, many people's resentment towards Concubine Shen has reached its peak.

Unfortunately, no one of those who assisted in managing the six palaces told Shen Meizhuang about this matter. Even Concubine Jing did not say a word. It seemed that she was quite resentful towards Shen Meizhuang.

There were complaints everywhere in the harem, but Shen Meizhuang was completely unaware of it because of the praise from the Emperor and the Empress. She even thought that it was her own insightful opinion and that she had made great contributions.

Soon, the backlash came. Dozens of palace servants blocked the road that Shen Meizhuang had to take to pay her respects to the queen, handed in petitions, and even had a fierce quarrel with Caixing, Xiao Shi and others.

Once, when Xiao Shi was on his way to Yiku Palace to get the account book for Shen Meiyu, he was put in a cloth bag and beaten all over. If it weren't for the excellent medical skills of Doctor Wen, he would have almost died.

Even Caixing and Juqing were repeatedly subjected to verbal ridicule and were often hit by stones flying in from the window when they were sleeping late at night.

Shen Meizhuang wanted to find out who had done it, but because the new policy she implemented had caused strong dissatisfaction among all the palace people, after a long investigation, she could not find any evidence.

Three days later, late at night, Ling Rong was awakened from her dream by Zhao Shui, and Shen Meizhuang was pushed into the water in the Thousand Carp Pond.

The person who pushed her was actually Huanbi!
