An Lingrong's Rebirth: Red

In recent times, more and more concubines have gone to the Imperial Medical Bureau to get medicine.

The ones Lingrong knew about included Jingpin, Zhen Huan and Fu Changzai. Today, she heard from Baoque that she saw Lingzhi beside Concubine Hua and she also went to the Imperial Hospital to get medicine.

At the beginning, there was only one prescription, but when Ling Rong found out that Zhen Huan also started to get medicine from the Imperial Hospital, she started to spread the rumor that there were actually two prescriptions for pregnancy, and also spread the Queen's prescription.

What Lingrong didn't know was that the prescription Shen Meizhuang gave to Zhen Huan and Lingrong was not the same one. She spread the rumor by accident and discovered the truth.

Lingrong asked Baoque to boil the herbs she got back every day, but all the juice was secretly poured out by the water. Because it was summer, it evaporated quickly without leaving any trace.

Everyone was spreading the matter of the prescription in private. If you didn't investigate carefully, you would never discover the trick behind it. You would just think that the concubines in the palaces were jealous of Shen Meizhuang and were anxious for her to get pregnant.

The emperor would occasionally come to Shuimu Mingse to sit for a visit. When he heard about the prescription, he sent Doctor Zhou to check it out. It was indeed an ordinary prescription for regulating menstruation and replenishing qi and blood.

But he had always been suspicious, so he came to Lingrong to inquire.

"Since I had a miscarriage, my health has not been good. I heard that the prescription given by Concubine Hui can regulate my body, so I used it."

The emperor nodded, still holding the beads in his hand, and he came close to Lingrong and touched her face, "Rong'er hasn't been paying much attention to me recently."

Lingrong is now pregnant, so naturally she is too lazy to spend time serving the emperor. However, her life in the palace afterwards cannot be separated from the emperor's support.

Therefore, even if she didn't want to put in any effort, she had to find a way to please the emperor for a while.

"I used to cook medicinal food every day, but after summer came, I followed the advice of the imperial physician and stopped cooking, lest it be too much tonic and hurt the emperor's body."

Ling Rong poured a cup of cold brewed tea for the emperor. Her expression looked sincere. "I look forward to your coming every day, but you say I don't care."

"If you were serious, why did I see you less often than when I first entered the garden, Chun Changzai?"

"The emperor also said that it was Concubine Chun who had just entered the garden. She's such a new person, so the emperor must have seen her a lot." Ling Rong pondered in her heart how to get rid of the emperor smoothly.

This emperor is really strange. He treats him too well and he feels unconquered. He always wants to find something new and exciting.

She is a little cold to him, but he sticks to him and blames others for not paying attention to him.

"By the way, I once said that I wanted to send a gift to the emperor." Ling Rong said as she stepped into the inner room. After a while, she found a sachet that she had embroidered in her spare time.

The sachet was a whole piece of rouge red with sparse embroidery of pine and crane patterns on it, which was said to symbolize longevity.

The meaning is very good, but I am afraid that the emperor will not like it. However, the other one is embroidered with a mandarin duck pattern. Ling Rong suddenly remembered the past life and gave the rouge red to the emperor.

The emperor played with it in his hand for a while and actually liked the rouge red color. Unfortunately, although the pattern on it was beautiful, he always felt that the girl was using the object to describe herself, saying that she was old.

"Why did you embroider the pine and crane? Rong'er, please don't say that the pine and crane mean longevity."

The emperor guessed the explanation, and Lingrong couldn't help feeling a little nervous. She slowly poured tea for the emperor, but in her mind she was thinking quickly about how to explain the purpose of embroidering this pattern.

But this is just something I embroidered for daily practice, there is no need for so many intentions.

When Lingrong put down the teacup and handed the cup to the emperor, she blurted out a line of poetry, "Pine and crane stand proudly on the top of the green peak, and all things are visible before my eyes.

Standing proudly on the peak, loving all the people, after much thought, this sentence is particularly suitable for Your Majesty."

Seemingly very satisfied with the answer, the emperor then smiled and took the teacup from Lingrong's hand.

"I didn't expect that my noble lady An is quite knowledgeable in writing. I guess it's because I asked you to copy the poem."

Ling Rong wanted to roll her eyes in front of the emperor, but she could only cooperate with him by showing a shy smile, "You can learn a lot of truths from books. Under the influence of the emperor, I naturally understand some of them."

At first, Lingrong read poems in order to please the emperor and gain his favor.

Now I read it every day because the words in the book are interesting and the scenery I have never seen is right before my eyes. I feel that I benefit a lot from it.

"This gift is thoughtful, so I accept it." Although the emperor accepted it, his attitude was still very casual and he put it directly on the table.

"Now that Concubine Hui is pregnant, I want Rong'er to learn some housekeeping skills."

When Lingrong heard the emperor ask her to assist in managing the six palaces, she refused without a second thought. She came from a humble family and was not favored, so how could she have the ability to get involved in palace power?

The emperor's test is too straightforward.

"In this palace there are the Empress, Concubine Hua, Concubine Jing, and Concubine Hui. I am stupid, and learning poetry is already the limit for me."

The emperor just nodded. Lingrong had no idea what he meant, so she could only sit aside and continue embroidering flowers.

After a long silence, the emperor spoke leisurely, "I will come to see you another day."

The emperor walked away, but the sachet given to him was still on the table. It was Su Peisheng who remembered it and helped take it away.

That night, the emperor called Chun Changzai to sleep with him. Such a naive and innocent character was rare in the palace.

The emperor was very surprised and Chun Chang was the one who accompanied him and wrote for several days.

Unfortunately, Concubine Chun is not as lively as Zhen Huan, who is well-versed in writing and can chat with the emperor on everything.

Gradually, Zhen Huan became the emperor's favorite concubine again and was able to walk around in front of the emperor.

Lingrong had long been accustomed to the emperor's fickleness. Apart from Queen Chunyuan, no one could win his true love.

But Lingrong could bear it, but Hua Fei might not be able to bear it.

However, Kang Luhai and his two disciples had long been suspected by Zhen Huan. Although they followed Lipin's instructions and wanted to put false evidence of Zhen Huan's relationship with Prince Guo into Zhen Huan's bedroom, they failed to do so because of Zhen Huan's precautions.

"This Kang Luhai is such a useless thing." After waiting for a few days, no news came that was not ready. Concubine Hua was so angry that she smashed many precious jade cups.

The fragments shattered under their feet, scaring Lipin and Cao Qinmo who were just entering the room, and they almost screamed.

"The summer heat is really unbearable for the queen."

"Unbearable? If you two were to argue a little, would I still be angry here?"

Concubine Cao looked at the debris all over the floor, but there was no sign of anxiety on her face.

Kang Luhai has not been able to succeed in the past few days, so it is inevitable that Concubine Hua asked the two of them to come and vent her anger.

"My lady, I have already issued a death order to Kang Luhai. If he fails to succeed, all the parents and children in his family will be killed.

I believe there will be good news in the next few days, please wait a little longer." Lipin smiled flatteringly and proposed her own way to appease Huafei.

"Why, didn't you hold the lives of their family in your hands before?

If you can only say things that make me angry, then go back to the palace and kneel down to reflect on yourself!"

Hua Fei was very angry, her eyes flashed with coldness, "No matter whether this thing succeeds or not, the lives of their family, young and old, must not be spared."

If we really do this, I'm afraid Kang Luhai will turn against us and expose us. Concubine Cao wanted to curse Concubine Hua and Concubine Li for being two idiots, but she could only hold back her disgust and help them think of some solutions.

“If you really can’t put it in, try another method.

Let Kang Luhai use the name of Prince Guo to deliver the letter to Yuedi Yunju openly. "

Concubine Hua did not expect that Cao Qin, who had been silent for a long time, would speak out a plan to behead someone.

"You really want to die, you dare to use this method."

Cao Qinmo saw that Concubine Hua had finally calmed down, and then she spoke leisurely, "Your Majesty, you misunderstood. What I meant was to ask Kang Luhai to put the letter under the crack of the door of Yuedi Yunju, so that Concubine Zhen can find it with someone she trusts.

It's just some words and sentences expressing lovesickness. Let her make some noise and check it out herself.

Anyway, those handwritings imitated Prince Guo’s handwriting. Even if the emperor knew about it, he would check Prince Guo first. "

Lipin nodded repeatedly while listening, "After all this, it's hard for the emperor not to be suspicious."

Although Concubine Hua thought it was feasible, it was too slow after all. Now she wished that Zhen Huan would be exposed and executed immediately, so she could no longer bear it.

"Just send her in the name of Prince Guo, so that she can die faster."

"Your Majesty, please think twice. If you send the letter so openly, Concubine Zhen will definitely realize that someone is framing her and will definitely ask the emperor to investigate thoroughly.

Falsely accusing the prince of having an affair with the concubine is a serious crime. Even if the emperor hates Concubine Zhen, he must first remove the hat of royal promiscuity.

If the truth is uncovered, even if Your Majesty is favored by the Emperor, she will inevitably be implicated."

When Cao Qinmo heard that Concubine Hua wanted to kill him so openly, she was so anxious that she could no longer sit still, "Your Majesty, please think twice."

Lipin looked at Cao Qinmo's panic and was very puzzled, "I think your Majesty's idea is very good.

Lady Cao, you are making a big fuss about nothing."

Fortunately, Concubine Hua was not that stupid. She thought carefully about Cao Qinmo's inference and her face turned pale.

There are many ways to kill Zhen Huan, and this method of destroying both parties is indeed not a good one.

"Princess Li, listen to Concubine Cao and take your time."

Hua Fei finally made up her mind. In order to maintain her favor, she could not use such drastic measures.

But just because it's not possible in the palace doesn't mean it's not possible outside the palace. Concubine Hua couldn't bear to watch Zhen Huan's growing favor, so she wrote a letter to Nian Gengyao, asking her brother to make trouble for Zhen Yuandao.

Not long after the letter was sent back, Concubine Hua received news that Nian Gengyao would help her deal with Zhen Yuandao.

But along with the good news came the bad news that Nian Xi was seriously ill. Hua Fei held the letter and hurriedly sent the good medicine in her palace back home.

When the emperor heard about this, he also sent an imperial physician and good medicine, and even to show his favor to the Nian family, he stayed with Concubine Hua in the Xinghuachun Pavilion all day long.

Concubine Hua had already received Shen Meizhuang's fertility-aiding prescription and had been taking the medicine during this period. It was rare that the emperor was willing to accompany her all day.

Concubine Hua had no choice but to take this opportunity to pester the emperor to stay overnight, just to get pregnant again.

At the same time, Lipin also listened to Hua Fei's words and asked Kang Luhai to take action according to Cao Qinmo's method.

Fortunately, this method is much easier to do than before, and Kang Luhai agreed confidently.

In order to avoid being discovered by other people in Yuedi Yunju, Kang Luhai ordered his two disciples to put the letter in different places.

Sometimes it was the crack in the door, sometimes it was the window frame. Zhen Huan asked Liu Zhu to guard for several days, but they still couldn't catch the person who delivered the letter.

Helpless, Zhen Huan had to ask Xiao Yunzi to watch all night to find out who did it.

After receiving the order, Xiao Yunzi had to lie on the eaves and watch all night. It was very hot in the summer and soon his clothes were soaked with sweat and he felt dizzy from the heat.

But unfortunately, Kang Luhai was Zhen Huan's chief eunuch, responsible for all matters in Yuedi Yunju.

He hadn't seen Xiao Yunzi for a long time, so he knew that what he had done before had been suspected by his master, and that Xiao Yunzi must be spying on him secretly.

But since he was serving in Yuedi Yunju on weekdays, the letters could be delivered there easily. Kang Luhai even found an exquisite box and stuffed all the letters into it.

It’s a pity that they couldn’t enter Zhen Changzai’s bedroom, so they could only put the box in an inconspicuous place in the hall.

"My lady, these letters... do you want to deal with them?" Liu Zhu held the stack of papers, hesitating whether to burn them.

Zhen Huan shook her head and read the poems expressing love again. She was very familiar with the handwriting, which was exactly that of Prince Guo Yunli.

But now he already has a wife, and she herself has become a concubine, so what is the point of writing these love words?

The two of them cannot do such a shameful thing, these feelings can only be stifled.

Zhen Huan took the letters in her own hands and placed them on the candle flame, slowly burning them into ashes.

"These letters were definitely sent here on purpose," Zhen Huan thought about the intentions of the person behind the scenes. They simply wanted to brand her relationship with Prince Guo as one of defiling the harem. "I just don't know whether they were written by that person himself or imitated by someone else."

"My lady," Liu Zhu cleaned up the ashes, including the unburned corners, "It doesn't matter who wrote it. The truth is that someone wants to harm you."

Zhen Huan nodded slowly, but she couldn't find the person behind the scenes, nor could she catch the person who sent the letter. Did she really have to tell the emperor and ask him to investigate thoroughly?

But she didn't dare. What if it was really Prince Guo who sent someone to send him to the palace? Wouldn't that harm Prince Guo?

"It's a pity that we can't find out. My lady suspects Kang Luhai. Why don't we ask Xiao Yunzi to keep an eye on him and see who is in contact with him?"

"That's a solution, but Kang Luhai is very cunning." Zhen Huan knew Kang Luhai best. He was not loyal but quite clever. It was not easy to find any evidence against him.

"Well, tomorrow I will ask Kang Luhai and the other two to go to the flower room to get some new flowers and redecorate the Buddhist hall in Yuedi Yunju.

Take this opportunity to check their house with Xiao Yunzi."
