An Lingrong's Rebirth: Red

Hearing Ye Lanyi's words, Zhen Huan smiled and said, "From what Ye Da Ying said, did An Lingrong really help you leave the palace?"

Ye Lanyi's heart tightened when Zhen Huan questioned her like this. She forced a smile and responded bravely, "These are just your own words. I have never admitted them.

What's more, what do these things have to do with you? Why are you so aggressive and keep asking questions? What's your intention?"

"I have said this many times, but I was just catching up with you. You left the palace because of the Queen Mother's crime, and soon after, the news of your death spread. I was really sad, and I prayed for you in front of the Buddha for many days and nights.

Now I see that you are safe and sound, and can even go boating on the lake and pick lotus, I am really happy for you.

So I asked a few more questions, wanting to know who your savior is. You are so defensive, but have you forgotten our former master-servant friendship and sisterly love?"

"The so-called friendship between you and me is nothing but based on exploitation. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have suffered so much. Why would I have given myself to the emperor and almost ended my life in the palace?"

"So you were so cruel to me because you were blaming me for bringing you to my side." Zhen Huan sighed, looking apologetic, "But given your condition at the time, how could I bear to keep you here to continue training horses?

After bringing you to my side, I asked myself honestly that I had not let you suffer any pain. Later, the emperor took a liking to you, but it was not because of my guidance.

And if you didn't want to, you could have refused to be the emperor's concubine at that time, but you finally chose to become a concubine, so you can't blame others.

Everyone has his own destiny. You are living a good life now, but it cannot be said that it has nothing to do with the past. "

"You sound nice when you say that. People who don't know the truth would really think you are my benefactor."

Ye Lan'yi didn't want to pay attention to Zhen Huan. She stepped on the beauty cushion and was ready to roll over, but Zhen Huan called out to her and she stopped in her tracks.

“Prince Guo and I have already sent people to surround this place. Even if you escape from this pavilion, you won’t be able to get far.

If it's okay, why don't we sit down and have a good chat. We can just exchange what I want with what you want.

Don't worry, I will never send you back to the palace. After this, you can continue to live your leisurely life, okay?"

Ye Lanyi stopped, but when she saw Zhen Huan's expression, she felt sick.

It just so happens that Prince Guo is indeed a prince, and such a person has to bring a group of people with him when he goes out. Perhaps this place is really surrounded as Zhen Huan said.

Thinking of this, Ye Lanyi stopped struggling. She hugged Tuanrong and sat directly on the beauty seat, "Just tell me what you want to say, don't beat around the bush.

I'm very busy, and there are people waiting for me at home, so I don't have the energy to reminisce with you."

"I didn't expect that after you left the palace, you actually had your own family." Zhen Huan still didn't say it directly. She seemed happy, "I'm really happy for you, Lan Yi, what's your husband's name and where is he from?"

The so-called family members were just Ye Lanyi's nonsense. How could she make it up in such a short time? "If I remember correctly, I just said not to reminisce about the past. If there is anything, just say it directly. Could it be that Concubine Xu doesn't care about other things besides these love affairs between men and women?

No wonder she was restless in the palace. On the one hand, she was the emperor's concubine, and on the other hand, she wanted to have an affair with Prince Guo.

Lady Xu, not everyone is like you, unable to live without a man."

Ye Lanyi's words were so serious that Zhen Huan, who was known for her mild temper, couldn't help but change her expression. She clenched her fingers tightly and said, "Ye promised, you wouldn't be so cold and sarcastic even to strangers, right?

How much affection do we have between you and me? My two words of concern to you have caused you to slander me like this.

Now that I think about it, it’s no wonder there are so many rumors in the harem. The saying that human hearts are hard to predict is indeed true.”

Zhen Huan's words implied that Ye Lan'yi was the one who spread false rumors in the palace. She also used her eyes to comfort Prince Guo, telling him not to get angry and speak out.

Prince Guo sighed heavily, put his hands behind his back, and tried hard to suppress the anger in his heart.

Just now on the boat, he still thought that Ye Lan Yi was a rare and beautiful lady, but now seeing Ye Lan Yi's aggressive temper, which made him and Huan'er lose face, the romantic thoughts in his heart had long disappeared into the clouds.

Zhen Huan still had a smile on her face. "I was wrong just now. I knew you didn't like reminiscing about the past, but I still couldn't help but care about you. Then I will repeat what I want to ask. Was the person who helped you leave the palace An Lingrong?"

"Why are you asking this?" Ye Lanyi didn't want to answer. "When I left the palace and went to Ganlu Temple to pray, Concubine Sheng did send me off. Not only her, but you also went there at that time. Didn't you see it?"

"You mean, it wasn't An Lingrong who helped you fake your death and leave Ganlu Temple?"

"At that time, I fainted in front of the Buddha. It was said that I lost my breathing and pulse, and was then taken to the charity cemetery by the nuns.

After the news was reported back to the palace, the emperor sent someone to collect my body. However, because I had offended the empress dowager, I could not enter the concubine's mausoleum. So the man wrapped me in a straw mat and threw me into the mass grave.

Maybe it was God's will that I was awakened by the rain that night. I also tried my best to crawl out of the mass grave and became the new me today. "

Ye Lanyi sighed, stroking the cat in her arms, not even willing to spare Zhen Huan another glance, "Now that I've said this, you should understand what's going on.

That Concubine Sheng did me a favor, but she just gave me some extra money and valuables when she sent me to Ganlu Temple."

"Is that really the case?" Zhen Huan said with a half-smile, "Then how do you know that she is now a noble concubine? If I remember correctly, when you left the palace, An Lingrong didn't even have a title."

Ye Lanyi's expression froze. She realized that she had let the cat out of the bag, so she turned her head away and refused to continue, lest she make more mistakes.

"Even if you keep silent now, I know the secret behind this. It seems that you have indeed received a favor from An Lingrong. If I don't let you meet her, wouldn't it be difficult to repay this favor?"

"What you said is interesting. I don't want to see her at all. Why should I listen to your arrangements?" Ye Lanyi had a bad temper and immediately glared at Zhen Huan, "You used to be gentle and generous, but now you only bully others.

If it weren't for Prince Guo's help, you would have been trapped in Ningguta forever, being bullied by everyone."

Ye Lanyi didn't care too much and directly told everything about Zhen Huan's time in Ningguta. "Ningguta is a bitter and cold place. Not only are the people there tough, but there are also frequent murders and robberies. For a woman with such an outstanding appearance like you, you must have suffered a lot in that place."

This is a hint to Zhen Huan that her shameful past is known to everyone. If she doesn't want to get into a fight and expose each other's secrets, she should just shut up and not make herself unhappy.

"I am stranded in Ningguta, and you are stranded in the human world. What is the difference between you and me?

There are good people in cold and bitter places all over the world, there are bandits in border areas, and there are evil people who bully men and women in water towns like the south of the Yangtze River.

Why do you want to hurt me with these words and make me angry?

"Okay, I've made it clear to you. If there's nothing else, I'll leave."

Ye Lanyi held the cat in her arms and stood up to leave, but Prince Guo was guarding the steps and refused to let her go no matter what.

"I haven't finished talking yet, Miss Ye, there's no need to be so anxious."

"What on earth are you two trying to do? I have already explained repeatedly that I have nothing to do with Sheng... An Lingrong. If you two keep holding me captive like this, I will report you to the authorities."

Ye Lanyi said this without any confidence. Prince Guo was a prince. What kind of government officials would dare to cause trouble for him?

"Now that we have met, don't be in a hurry to leave. Miss Ye, please stay with us and take a good look around Jiangnan."

Under the soft and hard tactics of Zhen Huan and Prince Guo, Ye Lan'yi was taken by the two of them. At the same time, a letter was sent from Jiangnan to the palace and finally fell into Ling Rong's hands.

Ling Rong received the letter from Jiangnan and was a little surprised for a moment, "Who delivered this letter to the palace? Do you know?"

"I heard that it was sent by Prince Guo," Zhaoshui poured tea for Lingrong, "but I can't understand why Prince Guo sent the letter to the queen in such a secret way?

This attitude seems to be deliberately avoiding the detection of others... especially the emperor."

"It's meaningless for us to think too much here," Ling Rong said, and opened the letter, "How... how could this happen!"

"Mother, what happened?"

Lingrong handed the letter to Zhaoshui. She had never thought that Ye Lanyi, whom she had helped many years ago, had fallen into the hands of Prince Guo.

"How did Prince Guo find Miss Ye?" Zhaoshui's hands trembled as she read the letter again carefully. "He actually asked the queen to listen to Concubine Wan in the letter. This is really too much."

"It seems that Zhen Huan is indeed with Prince Guo," Ling Rong managed to calm down at this time. She took a sip of tea and thought about the twists and turns. "They must have learned from Miss Ye that I helped Miss Ye fake her death and escape from Ganlu Temple. They wanted to use this as a threat to make me help Concubine Wan."

"But your majesty, this Concubine Wan is walking on the edge of a cliff and could lose her life at any time.

If we really help her, I'm afraid we will suffer together with him, which is really not worth the loss."

Zhaoshui was not willing to let Lingrong help Concubine Wan, but the things written in the letter could not be known to the Emperor. The current situation was really a dilemma, and he could not think of a better idea to help Lingrong.

“I don’t want to help her, but Miss Ye is in some danger in their hands.

It would be fine if the Emperor knew that we sent Ye Lanyi out of the palace, but what we fear most is that the Emperor knew that the rumor about the Queen Mother was spread by us using poison."

"Your Highness, murdering the Queen Mother is a capital crime. The Emperor secretly poisoned Concubine Tian just because she was suspected of murdering the Queen Mother.

If I really knew that you had played a role in this, I would be afraid..."

Ling Rong was also having a headache at this time. Her mind was a little confused and she couldn't think of any good solution for a while. She even blamed herself for why she had saved Ye Lan's life.

But there was no point in thinking about what had happened. Ling Rong took a deep breath and kept thinking about how to solve the problem.

"Based on my understanding of Miss Ye, she will definitely not tell anyone how we helped her leave the palace. Moreover, she doesn't know how the Queen Mother became ill, so the worst-case scenario may not happen."

Ling Rong thought for a while, and her mood stabilized, "What Miss Ye knows is just the matter of faking her death and leaving the palace. If I'm not mistaken, she must have thought of a countermeasure.

But Zhen Huan didn't believe that she had such great ability, so she tried to test her with words, and finally found out that this matter was related to her.

Write to them first and ask what they are going to do, and then we will consider whether to help or not."

"Your Majesty," Zhaoshui frowned, she hesitated and did not leave immediately, "If we really help, Miss Zhen will think that we helped Miss Ye. I think that this letter must not be replied.

Since they want the Queen's help, they will never give up easily. Let them write the letter themselves to urge the Queen.

We will try to find a way to get Master Ling Lang to help rescue Miss Ye from them."

Listening to Zhaoshui's analysis, Lingrong felt that it made some sense. She breathed a sigh of relief and finally smiled a little, "Luckily you are with me, otherwise after such a thing happened, I would be so confused and I wouldn't know how to deal with it."

"In my opinion, Your Majesty is too worried about Miss Ye." Zhaoshui poured some more tea for Lingrong. Seeing that Lingrong's complexion had recovered, she was finally relieved. "Your Majesty, it shouldn't be difficult to find out where this letter came from. If you check every post station, you can always find out where this letter came from.

It will just take some time, so Your Majesty just needs to wait patiently. They will definitely not inform the Emperor of these things without Your Majesty's reply.

What's more, it was they who asked the Empress for something, not the Empress who asked them for something.

Even if they tell the emperor about this, we will just tell the emperor directly about Zhen's stay with Prince Guo.

The two of them finally got together, so they must be reluctant to separate. Compared to the queen, they must be more afraid of losing her."

"You are right. We have this letter in our hands. Find someone who is good at imitating handwriting and have him rewrite the letter. Add a sentence in it asking us to help Concubine Wan murder the emperor.

When necessary, this letter from Prince Guo will be the ironclad evidence of their plot to murder the emperor."
