An Lingrong's Rebirth: The Golden Partridge

As dusk approached, the maids of Jingren Palace came forward to hold lamps. The bright candlelight swayed the stagnant air in the room. The queen's upright face looked more solemn under the bright light of the candlelight. Concubine Duan seemed tired and just closed her eyes in deep thought. Concubine Jing couldn't hide her anxious look, but was comforted by Zhen Huan. An Lingrong tapped her fingers on the table, supported her head with her other hand, and leaned lazily. The huge side hall was silent at the moment. Everyone only conveyed their speculations to each other with their eyes.

Wen Shichu's delay in coming made Qi Guiren a little anxious. After receiving a cold glance from the Queen, he reluctantly became quiet again.

Jiang Fuhai finally arrived late, but there was no one behind him. He looked a little solemn and bowed slightly to the queen: "I went to invite Lord Wen. As soon as I left the gate of Taiyuan Hospital, Caiyue Girl from Suiyuxuan came in a hurry. He ran over and said that Concubine Hui's fetus was alarmed and she was afraid that she was about to give birth. Master Wen hurried to Suiyuxuan, and the servant followed him to take a look..." He raised his head and looked at the queen, "Concubine Hui is about to give birth. It’s already started.”

The queen's face suddenly darkened.

"Concubine Hui's fetus has always been taken care of by Imperial Physician Wen. I'm afraid she won't be able to leave for a while." Concubine Jing has always been on good terms with Shen Meizhuang. When she heard this, she suddenly became anxious and said, "Empress, there is nothing the Emperor can do about anything." It's more important. It's better to postpone the trial regarding Concubine Xi and Imperial Physician Wen."

"Is the concubine Jing's words too biased? Suspend? Huh, I'm afraid I haven't given them time to discuss countermeasures." Naturally, Qi Guiren refused to let it go. She sneered, "Wen Shichu is not the only imperial doctor in the imperial hospital. , wouldn’t it be better to go to an imperial physician to replace him, but I don’t believe it, without Wen Shichu, would Concubine Hui be able to give birth to a child?”

"Your Majesty Qi, if something happens to Concubine Hui and the emperor's heir, can you shoulder this responsibility?" An Lingrong scolded coldly, raising his eyes to look at Mr. Qi gloomily, "Or are you looking forward to Hui's concubine?" Could something happen to the concubine and the fetus in her belly?"

Qi Guiren paused and said firmly, "Concubine, that's not what I meant."

"Queen, please listen to what I have to say." Zhen Huan spoke loudly. She stood up, her back like a green pine, "Since I returned to the palace, there have been rumors in the palace. Today, since the noble Qi Taking advantage of this to create a storm, I want to prove my innocence and am willing to confront you here. However, Concubine Hui is about to give birth. Doctor Wen was appointed by the Queen Mother to take care of Sui Yuxuan. He knows best how Concubine Hui's fetal image will be. If she leaves him at this time, The designation will not work." She looked magnanimous and her eyes were blazing. She was not at all distracted by Qi Guigui's testimony. "Fei Wen's words are full of loopholes. I will confront her first, but there is no need to worry about Dr. Wen."

The queen looked at Zhen Huan, admiring her strong psychological quality, and smiled dignifiedly: "That's just like Concubine Xi said." After a pause, she added, "It's just that Sui Yuxuan can't be without someone to take charge. Why don't you, Rong Is the noble concubine going to guard Concubine Hui for me?"

Zhen Huan clenched her fists hard under her sleeves. She knew that the queen was trying to break her arm. Once An Lingrong left, she would have to fight alone. But at the moment, apart from her, An Lingrong had the highest status. , is the most qualified person to go to Broken Yuxuan in place of the Queen.

An Lingrong glanced at Zhen Huan with worried eyes, but saw that she was also looking at him.

Just one glance says a thousand words.

"I hereby obey the Queen's decree." An Lingrong stood up and bowed slowly, then turned and left. The moment she passed by Zhen Huan, she said in a very soft voice, "Sister, just let go and kill, don't worry."

Zhen Huan raised her head slightly and said "Okay" silently. She turned slightly, lowered her eyes and looked at Fei Wen who was kneeling on the ground. She coldly shouted her name with a vague sneer at the corner of her mouth: "Are you here?" During these days in the palace, I have never seen that you have such a big heart."

"As a slave, I serve your Majesty, and all your thoughts are with your Majesty. However, as a servant in the palace, I can only be loyal to the Emperor. If I have offended you, please forgive me." Fei Wen did not show any fear on her face, but responded to it. De Yi, with red lips and white teeth, has a well-behaved appearance, which makes his words somewhat believable.

"If your loyalty to the emperor can be considered as offending me, wouldn't you be putting me in a position of disloyalty and unjustness?" Zhen Huan slowly broke through her thoughts, then turned to look at the queen, "Concubine Rong Chen, I want to ask her a few questions. Words." After the queen agreed, she walked up to Fei Wen and said, "Fei Wen, no matter what the outcome of today's matter is, you can never return to Yongshou Palace and serve me anymore."

Feiwen timidly raised her head and glanced at Zhen Huan, and the tassel beside her ear swayed slightly: "As long as you serve in the palace, no matter which mistress you serve, I will go through fire and water without hesitation."

"Very good." Zhen Huan smiled instead of being angry, "After all, it's a master-servant affair. Since you came to expose my secrets today, you must also know that this is the last time you will serve me, so you should do your part. ." She sat down with a smile and went back, "I want to ask you, before you came out, did you wipe the glazed flower bottle on the red sandalwood table in the main hall?"

Feiwen looked confused and didn't understand what it meant. She was stunned for a moment and then replied: "It's been wiped."

Zhen Huan suddenly laughed out loud. Cui Jinxi behind her immediately understood and refuted: "Nonsense. There is no glazed flower bottle on the rosewood table of the empress. It is clearly sapphire."

Fei Wen looked flustered for a moment, and quickly changed her words: "I remember it wrong, it's a sapphire flower bottle."

"It seems that Fei Wen's memory is not very good." Concubine Jing pretended to sigh, "It's so hard for you, but you can still remember the pattern on the cuffs of Imperial Physician Wen."

"I remember, it's a sapphire flower bottle, yes." Fei Wen insisted, nodding vigorously.

"There have never been any glazed flower bottles on the red sandalwood table in the main hall, let alone any sapphire flower bottles. There is only an embroidered mirror screen." Zhen Huan suddenly burst out with stern words, leaving Fei Wen with nowhere to hide, "You serve me. , instead of focusing on serious matters, every day I pay attention to which imperial doctor's hand is on my hand, and what patterns are embroidered on the turned-out cuffs." She turned her eyes to look at the queen, and said something else, "If these scenes were left to others, they wouldn't dare to look at them. Why does Feiwen pay so much attention to even the smallest branches and leaves? It's really suspicious to be so intentional."

These words may have thrown the words "someone instigated" on the queen's face, and the queen's expression suddenly became unnatural.

Zhen Huan and An Lingrong rushed to their respective battlefields, and tonight was destined to be a sleepless night.

When An Lingrong rushed to Broken Yuxuan, it was already in chaos. The situation in Shenmeizhuang was very bad. Po Wen was so worried that she was sweating profusely. She was replying to Mrs. Shen: "Ms. Hui Fei has alarmed the fetus." , the baby is a bit turned sideways, we can’t deliver the baby right now, we have to turn the baby’s head around first, but looking at the current situation, I’m afraid the little prince will come out feet first.”

"What?!" Mrs. Shen's exclamation and An Lingrong's cold voice sounded at the same time.An Lingrong walked in hurriedly, with a frosty look on his face: "Concubine Hui's fetus has always been stable and fine. How could the fetal gas be disturbed?" She looked at Caiyue, "Didn't I have someone tell me that? Can’t you disturb Concubine Hui no matter what happens today?”

"It's the news that Lu E, who is beside Mr. Yu, specially came to deliver the news. When the empress found out, she became extremely anxious. Her mood fluctuated too much. Just..." Caiyue helped Mrs. Shen, who turned pale in panic, to sit down beside her. He was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, "My Lady, please think of something quickly."

"Jade noble?" An Lingrong whispered and repeated, and the uneasiness in his heart suddenly amplified.

Ever since the death of Concubine Min, Lady Jade has been silent. She is also quiet and low-key on weekdays, so much so that An Lingrong ignored her - did she actually seek refuge with the Queen? !

"In my humble opinion, I have seen doctors use acupuncture to reverse the fetus among the people. I wonder if there are any imperial doctors in the palace who know this method?" Po Wen said in a panic, "If we don't hurry up, when the cervix is ​​opened, Hui I’m afraid the concubine is going to have a difficult delivery.”

"Where is Wen Shichu?" An Lingrong couldn't care less about the noble lady at the moment and asked immediately, "Does he know how to do this?"

"Weichen is here." Wen Shichu was brewing medicine in a side hall. When he heard An Lingrong calling him, he immediately walked out to reply, "Hui, Madam, this method is called Jiuzhuan Feifeng. Weichen is proficient in this acupuncture method, but The place where the needle dropped is too private, Concubine Hui..."

"No!" Mrs. Shen suddenly screamed, "How can you show your noble body in front of a foreign man!" She looked pale but refused to give in, "I never agree!"

An Lingrong fell down in anger and argued with Mrs. Shen for a few words. Because she was an elder and the mother of Shen Meizhuang, even if she acted like a noble concubine, she still couldn't stand up to Mrs. Shen's words: "Concubine Hui is innocent." , must not be tarnished by this." As a last resort, An Lingrong could only grit his teeth and let Zi Su call for Da Kao.

"Empress, Sister Cardamom, she..."

"I know." An Lingrong arranged for Daukou to be a lookout outside Jingren Palace in order to keep track of what's happening on Zhen Huan's end. However, the current situation was urgent and she could not think about it any more. "Let Bai Zhi take over Daukou's position. Replace the cardamom, and go ask Zhou Nan to come over."

Zisu had no choice but to answer the call.

The situation in Jingren Palace got worse and worse, and the emperor was alarmed after all. When Dou Kao came over, he only said a few words to An Lingrong in a hurry before being rushed into the bedroom by Mrs. Shen.

"Girl Cardamom, Wei Chen said acupuncture points, just follow the needle insertion." Wen Shichu knelt on the ground across a screen and shouted inside, "The first needle, Qugu point, insert the needle one inch, the second needle, Ji At the door point, insert the needle half an inch..."

Wen Shichu said a word, and a needle fell on the cardamom. The broken jade pavilion was so quiet that only the breathing of everyone and Shen Meizhuang's cries of pain could be heard. Time passed particularly long.

Cardamom's medical skills were not superb. She followed Wen Shichu's instructions, inserted the needle inch by inch, and inserted the needle into the acupuncture point carefully. She even breathed lightly. After a while, the person was as if she had been fished out of the water, and her whole body was soaked with sweat. .

Accompanied by Shen Meizhuang's painful groans one after another, the fetal position was twisted a little bit. Wen Po followed her and touched her belly little by little, her face slowly became joyful, and she kept shouting: "It's right, it's right, the fetal position is right!"

Mrs. Shen breathed a sigh of relief, took Shen Meizhuang's hand and comforted her softly: "Mei'er, it's okay, it's safe now."

What she doesn't know is that the real crisis has just begun.

"Mr. Wen, I have something to explain to you first." An Lingrong took advantage of this opportunity to quickly talk to Wen Shichu. She spoke quickly but clearly, "The matter is complicated. I will keep it short. The Queen is angry. , let Mr. Qi testify that you and Sister Zhen have an affair. Just now Jiang Fuhai came to invite you for this matter, but it happened that Sister Mei was giving birth, so you were delayed here. When Doujiao first came, he told me that the emperor has already After going to Jingren Palace, I'm afraid this matter won't be easy..." She looked at Wen Shichu with a deep look, "Whose twins are Sister Zhen's twins? You should know better than me. If tonight's matter involves two people, A child, even if this crime has nothing to do with you, it will kill Sister Zhen."

Wen Shichu was so shocked that he broke into a cold sweat, and was shaken to the spot as if struck by lightning: "How did the imperial concubine know..."

"You don't need to worry about how I know about it. You just need to think carefully about how to break today's situation." An Lingrong looked at Wen Shichu with burning eyes. As soon as he finished speaking, Su Peisheng's voice came from the door. .

"My servant wishes to pay my respects to the Imperial Concubine." Su Peisheng slowed down and walked in, smiling warmly at An Lingrong, "The Emperor summoned Imperial Physician Wen to go to Jingren Palace, and has arranged for other imperial physicians to come and take over Imperial Concubine Hui. Production matters.”

Wen Shichu was sweating coldly, but now that he was confident in his heart, his facial expression became a little more calm: "Excuse me, Eunuch Su, please wait for a moment. I'll explain you a few more words." He called his apprentice Wei Lin and gave detailed instructions, " Concubine Hui has always had a good-natured constitution, but now her qi and blood have reversed, and although the fetal position has been corrected, there is still a possibility of dystocia. If there is an emergency, remember to use wild ginseng to keep your spirits up, and then take Shengzhi Dabu Decoction..."

Wei Lin wrote them down one by one.

After Wen Shichu left, An Lingrong had some time to breathe, and summoned Dou Kao to question him carefully: "What was the situation like in Jingren Palace when you left?" (End of Chapter)
