An Lingrong's Rebirth: Red

"I remember every word clearly, but I don't know if the emperor is willing to listen to me."

"I have heard everything you said, but I have my own arrangements. There is no need for the Queen to ask too many questions." The Emperor was surprisingly calm at this time, and he even allowed the Queen to sit down and talk calmly.

"I don't mean to interfere with the emperor's decision, but the emperor's health is getting worse and worse, and I can't just ignore it.

Originally, I had confined Concubine Wan, but I never thought that the Emperor would release her so easily. "

"Noble Lady Wan has done nothing wrong, so it is only right for me to let her go."

"The biggest mistake of Concubine Wan was to give the emperor medicine that he shouldn't have used, and to pester him into overindulgence.

How could she be wronged in all these cases? As the queen, I have the right to discipline her and restrain her, and I have the right to confine her to her house.

Your Majesty, you are indeed the ruler of a country, and you have the greatest power to deal with everyone in the palace.

But I want you to know that if you only pamper her and favor her, I will at most be a little jealous, but I will never confine her.

But now she has deceived you because of the drugs. After you use this kind of drug, your body will only get better for a short time, and then it will become worse than before. It is not a good thing.

Therefore, I do not want you to continue to contact her no matter what."

The emperor pursed his lips. He was naturally unhappy when the empress and other women interrupted him and even mentioned the sexual affairs between him and Concubine Wan.

Moreover, in the eyes of the emperor, he has already firmly controlled Shen Zishan and Wan Guiren in his hands, and these two people will never have any thoughts of rebellion.

Therefore, even though the queen reminded him like this, the emperor did not waver at all. He stood up and said, "I have my own conclusions on these matters, and there is no need for the queen to say more.

As for the affairs of the previous dynasty, I don't want you to continue to interfere. The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics. The Queen must be very clear about the rule. "

"I understand, but please believe me, Your Majesty, I have never thought of interfering in government affairs.

Everything I do is for the emperor's sake."

The Queen finally took a step back and stopped holding on to Concubine Wan. She knew in her heart that the most important thing at the moment was to resolve the issue of the Third Prince's poisoning.

He had barely managed to cover up his meddling in government affairs, but if the Third Prince could not be kept, all his efforts would be in vain.

"I also know that the most important thing right now is to find out the truth about the poisoning of the Fifth and Fourth Princes."

The Queen sighed, rubbed her forehead, and sat down again, "I do have some selfish thoughts. The Third Prince has been with me for a long time, and I know his character best.

There is no way he could have attacked the Fifth Prince, Your Majesty, please understand."

"I only look at the evidence now, not the character." The emperor's voice was cold and hard. He could not listen to every word the queen said, especially those words explaining for the third prince.

"Since you care so much about Hongshi, I will allow you to investigate. Su Peisheng will also follow you. I want to see whether this is a frame-up or just the thief crying thief."

The emperor closed his eyes briefly, and then he let out a breath after a while. He did not look at the queen again, and finally turned and left.

Three days later, the Fifth Prince's body finally recovered and he no longer needed to take the antidote. However, he still needed to rest to avoid other symptoms.

During this period, Concubine Tian went to the prince's residence many times to take care of the Fifth Prince. From time to time, she would call the imperial physician to take the Fifth Prince's pulse, for fear that she would be careless and let the Fifth Prince fall into someone else's scheme again.

The Emperor did not interfere too much with her attitude, and let her torment Doctor He and the Fifth Prince, showing her motherly love.

Lingrong also went to see him. Her original intention was to exchange information with the Fifth Prince, but Concubine Tian was always there, so Lingrong had no way to get close to the Fifth Prince.

Fortunately, Lingrong was not that anxious. After all, the Prince's Office had temporarily captured the suspect, the Third Prince. Lingrong only needed to continue to add more evidence against the Third Prince.

But the prince's residence no longer forbids anyone to visit as before, so Xiao Chizi can go there at night and it will not delay their business at all.

"Go back early after you've read it," Concubine Tian sat aside, taking a sip of tea from time to time. She looked at Ling Rong, fearing that she would chat with the Fifth Prince for a few more words. "The affairs of the harem are busy, and we can't leave without someone."

Ling Rong glanced at the Fifth Prince and didn't say much. She just put down the ginseng and other supplements she brought with her and prepared to leave.

"The Queen has been very busy lately. Now that all the power has been taken back, I don't know if she can get a good night's sleep."

"The Queen has not had much time to deal with the affairs of the six palaces recently," Ling Rong stopped, "She is busy investigating the truth of the Fifth Prince's poisoning and wants to clear the Third Prince's name."

"Clear the charges?" Concubine Tian sneered, "The poison was snatched from their hands, what else is there to investigate.

I think the Queen is looking for a scapegoat to prevent the Third Prince, whom she values, from being expelled from the palace."

"You can't say that. What if it really wasn't done by the Third Prince?"

"You like to pretend to be a good person. If the person lying on the couch was the Eighth Prince, I wonder if you can still say such words. I'm afraid you will immediately go to the Emperor and ask him to punish the Third Prince."

"If it was really done by the Third Prince, even if it wasn't Hongyu, I would ask the Emperor to handle it impartially."

Ling Rong smiled at Concubine Tian, ​​blinking her eyes and asking in confusion, "Concubine Tian, ​​can't you do this?"

"I will naturally seek justice for Hong Zhou, but not now."

Concubine Tian snorted. She looked at Lingrong and the Fifth Prince beside her, expressing her concern for the Fifth Prince.

"I am also collecting evidence. Once I have enough, I will be able to argue with the Queen. By then, even if the Emperor asks, I will have something to say."

"Indeed."

Ling Rong did not refute, she nodded seriously, "After all, the Third Prince is the eldest son of the Emperor, his foundation is difficult to shake, even for you, Concubine Tian, ​​it will take some effort."

Being looked down upon like this, Concubine Tian immediately lost her temper. She pursed her lips tightly and said, "The Fifth Prince is also valued by the Emperor, no less than the Third Prince.

Concubine Sheng, your words are unfair. I don't know how sad the Fifth Prince must be to hear them. "

Lingrong turned her head and glanced at the Fifth Prince, who frowned slightly. Feeling Lingrong's gaze, he could only shake his head to indicate no.

"Fifth Prince is already old, so he can naturally tell what I mean. Concubine Tian doesn't need to worry too much. He will definitely not misunderstand. Don't you think so, Fifth Prince?"

"Your son will not misunderstand," the Fifth Prince said at the right time, "Third brother is the eldest son of the Emperor's father, and he was raised by the Empress Dowager, so it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a half-legitimate son.

Compared with my third brother, there is indeed a world of difference between me and you. Madam Sheng has told the truth this time, which has enabled me to understand the current situation more clearly."

The Fifth Prince paused, his eyes fell on Concubine Tian, ​​"If it weren't for Concubine Tian's help, I would have no chance of comparing with my Third Brother."

"It's good that you know." Concubine Tian was very proud of being praised by the Fifth Prince. She snorted and stroked her temples in a reserved manner. "Among the princes, you are the one I value the most. I represent the Fucha family. You should understand."

"I understand everything."

The Fifth Prince was very tactful. He behaved completely differently in front of Concubine Tian than in front of Concubine Ling Rong, and his attitude seemed much more respectful.

Concubine Tian was naturally satisfied with his attitude, and even looked at Lingrong with great pride, as if her eyes were saying - look, I have trained him well, and he has become such an obedient prince.

Lingrong smiled back. She had seen this kind of discriminatory treatment too many times, and it no longer caused any ripples in her heart.

"Fifth Prince is very insightful, which is a good thing." Ling Rong half sighed and half sarcastically said, "Tianpin doesn't need to spend too much effort to achieve her wish.

But there is still a stumbling block that needs to be removed."

"That old woman, the Queen," Concubine Tian gritted her teeth in hatred, "not only took away my power to assist the six palaces, but also demoted my position. I will never let her go easily.

Whatever she wants to do, whatever she wants to support, I will have to support her one by one."

Lingrong had a smile on her face, but what she was thinking in her heart was that you might be the one who was going to be pulled down.

Ma Yuan has been found by the Queen's people. She had reminded Concubine Tian many times to deal with it, but she did not take it seriously. Now she is finally suffering the consequences.

Lingrong had known about this for a long time, but she did not stop it. She even intentionally leaked some information to help the Queen find the person faster.

Her alliance with Concubine Tian had long been broken, and from the moment Lingrong started to plan for herself, she would no longer be lenient towards Concubine Tian.

What alliance, what sisterhood, in the eyes of Ling Rong in this life, they are all things that can be abandoned.

After all, in the previous life, Ling Rong even gave up the sisterhood she had given her true heart to, not to mention that this life had been a false alliance from the very beginning.

"Since Concubine Tian said so, I guess she has found a suitable method."

"Of course." Concubine Tian didn't seem to intend to hide it from Lingrong. "The Third Prince attacked the Fifth Prince. It was definitely not something he could do alone. The Empress was responsible for taking care of the two princes. She knew the situation best. It is very likely that she had a hand in this."

Lingrong nodded as she listened, and a look of sudden enlightenment on her face made Concubine Tian even happier.

She looked so proud, like a teacher in a school. The more Lingrong, her "student", nodded, the more satisfied she felt.

“So, as long as we can find evidence that the Queen instructed the Third Prince, we can take down the Queen.

So, Fifth Prince, think carefully about whether the Empress has been coming to the Prince's Residence very frequently recently, and whether she has been visiting Third Prince often."

"This..." The Fifth Prince and Ling Rong exchanged a quick glance, and then responded to Concubine Tian the next moment, "The Empress Dowager does come here often, but she just misunderstood my concern for the Third Prince. Occasionally, she would chat with the Third Prince for a while.

But I was busy studying, and I didn’t know what the Empress Dowager and my third brother talked about.”

"Look, this is most likely what they are planning," Concubine Tian said excitedly, with a twinkle in her eyes. "Will they dismiss the people around them, fearing that others might overhear it?"

The Fifth Prince nodded, "It is indeed as Empress Tian said."

"So the fact that you are like this now is most likely caused by the old lady, the Queen. She instructed the Third Prince to poison your food.

Maybe even the poison in the Fourth Prince’s food was put there by the Third Prince!”

Lingrong and the Fifth Prince looked at each other again. They both knew better than anyone how the Fourth Prince died.

Now, listening to Concubine Tian’s words, I naturally felt it was both weird and funny.

"The emperor does have such suspicions now," Ling Rong thought for a moment, and then told Concubine Tian what she had learned. "The emperor has sent Su Peisheng to re-investigate the imperial kitchen, and the people who used to serve the Fourth Prince have also been taken away by Eunuch Su."

"They've all been taken away?" Concubine Tian was surprised. "This way, there's no chance to bribe the people around the Fourth Prince."

"It's not that there is no chance at all. Right now, the emperor's investigation is still focused on the Third Prince. The people serving the Fourth Prince will not be detained in the Ministry of Punishment forever.

As long as you pay more attention, you will definitely find an opportunity. Moreover, maybe the emperor's people will be able to find the problem without you having to do anything."

"The problems we found may not necessarily be what I want." Concubine Tian rolled her eyes at Ling Rong, thinking about how to improve her plan. "I don't know if there is any breakthrough from the Queen."

"The Queen is very good at teaching people, and the people around her are all loyal. Moreover, the capable people around the Queen are all those left by the Queen Mother.

If you want to bribe those people, money or power is not enough.

On the other hand, the people left behind by the Fourth Prince are easier to control. After all, they are all slaves without a master. In this deep palace, who doesn't want to follow a good master and have a good future? "

"What you said makes some sense, but we are still a step too slow. I don't know if the information the emperor found out is what we want."

"As long as it is really done by the Third Prince, we will definitely be able to find out the information we want."

Ling Rong's tone was very confident. After all, the medicine in the Fourth Prince's food was put by the Fifth Prince. If the people around the Fourth Prince had not been bribed in advance, how could it be so easy?

Therefore, the Emperor will definitely be able to find out the result that Concubine Tian wants. As for how to frame the Empress, it is up to Concubine Tian to figure it out herself.

Lingrong didn't want to bother with this, after all, she was busy going to Ningguta to see Zhen Huan and tell her that Concubine Wan was using her as a medicine to murder the emperor.

She was busy going to the cold palace to see Shen Meizhuang and told her that the emperor's health was deteriorating, causing her father to be suspected by the emperor.

Finally, he hurried to find Shen Meizhuang's father, Shen Zishan, to ask him what the formula of the medicine the emperor was taking was.

Lingrong was so busy that she had no time to care about Concubine Tian.
