An Lingrong's Rebirth: Red

After Zhaoshui received Lingrong's instructions, he naturally went down to prepare. However, the person who was good at imitating handwriting was outside the palace, and it would take a lot of time to go back and forth. By the time Zhaoshui got the letter back, it was three days later.

When Lingrong received the letter, she asked Zhaoshui to hide it. As she had discussed with Zhaoshui, she did not write a reply immediately, and naturally did not go to Concubine Wan to discuss how to help her.

Now Concubine Wan is still trapped in Yongshou Palace, but what Lingrong finds strange is that the Emperor has seldom been to Yongshou Palace recently, and even his condition is much better than before.

Correspondingly, the emperor not only stopped going to Yongshou Palace, but also stopped going to the harem. Whenever he had time, he would summon the imperial physician. But this time, the emperor summoned imperial physician He instead of Zhou.

Lingrong hadn't been able to see the emperor these past few days, but she thought that He Anming must have found some medicinal herbs outside the palace to help the emperor regulate his body, which prevented the emperor from entering the harem.

Now that the emperor no longer enters the harem, the women in the harem no longer dislike each other as they did in the past. They will gather in groups of three or four to discuss their newly made Manchu costumes and jewelry.

Those who have children are even more free. If they take their children for a walk in the Imperial Garden, they will get a lot of envious looks. A group of women will surround the children, smiling particularly happily.

Especially for Huai Ke, who had just lost her mother, everyone felt extra pity for her. Although these women had schemed against each other, they were all gentle towards their children.

Even Concubine Qi, who usually had a bad temper, hugged Huai Ke and coaxed him for a long time. When she paid her respects the next day, she stuffed a lot of Huai Ke's favorite cakes into Xia Dongchun's hands.

Although Xia Dongchun felt strange, he still accepted all these things.

Fortunately, Huai Ke liked them very much, so Xia Dongchun also gave Concubine Qi a good look and accepted the cakes.

"You have sent a lot of cakes to Huai Ke overtly and covertly these past few days, you have really worked hard.

But Huai Ke is a child after all, and it is not good for him to eat too much cakes, so you should send him less in the future."

Concubine Qi rolled her eyes. She didn't have a good relationship with Concubine Xian, and she was only treating Concubine Xian with a little kindness because of Huai Ke.

"I'm giving it to the princess, not to you. It's enough as long as she likes it."

Lady Qi was about to leave, but she didn't forget to say one more thing, "Even if you don't allow me to send you off, I will. After dinner tonight, I will send a portion of pine nut and lily pastry to Huai Ke.

You have to accept it even if you don’t want to, because Huai Ke likes it the most.”

"I really don't understand you, why are you so nice to Huai Ke?" Xia Dongchun has always been quick to speak, she looked at Concubine Qi's attitude, she really didn't like it, "You have such strength and means, why don't you use them on the emperor?

Although Huai Ke has not been recorded in my imperial genealogy, the emperor has already agreed to let me raise her.

So she will be my daughter sooner or later, so don't even think about it. No matter how many cakes you send, Huai Ke will never recognize you as his mother."

Her thoughts were exposed like this, and Concubine Qi blushed. She snorted and wanted to leave immediately.

"Madam Qi is so young, why is she thinking of adopting someone else's daughter?"

Concubine Wan had not been bothered by the Emperor these days, so she felt like going out for a walk. Today, she came to pay her respects to Lingrong, so naturally she did as well.

As soon as she went out, she saw Xia Dongchun's attitude. Because of the hatred, she deliberately came up to mock him. If it was someone else, Concubine Wan would definitely leave without even looking at him.

"Huai Ke is so cute, anyone who sees her will like her. Why, don't you like her, Lady Wan?"

"Of course I like Huai Ke, but I won't do what Lady Qi did, poaching him in front of Huai Ke's adoptive mother. This is not what an upright person would do.

If you really like Huai Ke, you can just go to the emperor and ask him to come. This attitude will only make the virtuous concubine feel uncomfortable. "

"This..." Concubine Qi glanced at Xia Dongchun on the side, "The Concubine Xian hasn't said anything yet, but you jumped out. Could it be that you have the same idea and are deliberately trying to put me down?"

"Lady Qi, you are joking. If everyone in this world had the same thoughts as you, then the world would have been littered with corpses and the world would be filled with the tragedy of family separation."

The more the two men talked, the more excited they became. When Xia Dongchun, who was present, saw them like this, he quickened his pace and left. So the two men had nothing to hide anymore and started to argue with each other in the imperial garden.

"No wonder Concubine Wan ridiculed me everywhere, it turns out that she was concerned about your Zhen family's affairs," Concubine Qi did not back down, she snorted and deliberately talked about the grudge between the two of them, "But your Zhen family's affairs were caused by Zhen Yuandao himself, and it was the emperor's order to exile your entire family.

If you have any dissatisfaction or any resentment, just go to the emperor. What's the point of being sarcastic in front of me?

Could it be that you are a bully who only fears the strong and bullies the weak, and you can only vent your anger on a little girl like me? "

“Lady Qi is very eloquent, but don’t forget that our Zhen family’s exile was indeed the emperor’s order, and my parents’ tragic death is closely related to your Fucha clan.

You and I are both the emperor's concubines. I can't argue with you all the time, but that doesn't mean I'm afraid of you. If you make a mistake one day, I will be the one who asks the emperor to punish you severely. "

"Well, if you make any mistakes one day, I will be the one who asks the emperor to kill you," Concubine Qi did not give in at all. She stared at Concubine Wan, "and I tell you, if anything happens to me in the palace, the murderer will definitely be you. I will definitely report to the emperor that it was you who sent people to monitor me all the time, wanting to avenge your parents.

You'd better pray that nothing happens to me in the palace. If something does happen, we will both perish together."

"Are you sure you'll die together?" Concubine Wan sneered disdainfully, "Don't worry, even if I kill you, the Emperor won't take my life.

As for the Guaerjia clan behind you, I'm afraid no one will be sad about your death, and they have no right to ask the emperor to worry about you.

But I will tell everyone in the harem that it was me who took your life.

Noble Lady Qi, if you and I don't interfere with each other, we can still get by. But if you always contradict me, then life in the harem will be difficult.

But now that I see you want to please the princess, I know you want to live in peace for a while, so you'd better withdraw the people you sent to my Yongshou Palace, otherwise you will only see their corpses at the gate of Yongshou Palace tomorrow."

"How dare you threaten me in broad daylight, and even murder the maids." Concubine Qi took a deep breath, suppressing the anger in her heart, "The maids in this palace are all from the Eight Banners, you can't just kill them with a word.

You still want to scare me with these few words, Lady Wan, do you think everyone is the weak and incompetent people in your Zhen family?"

Concubine Qi glared at Concubine Wan hatefully. She didn't listen to what Concubine Wan said at all. She turned around and left with her maid.

Lianhua supported Concubine Wan and silently watched Concubine Qi walk away. She glanced at Concubine Wan carefully, guessing her master's mood, "My lady, don't get angry and get sick. Concubine Qi is just bluffing."

"She has already extended her hand to Yongshou Palace. How can she just bluff? If you don't pay attention, you will have to collect her body for me."

Looking at Concubine Qi's back, Concubine Wan seemed to be gritting her teeth. If she hadn't discovered that Concubine Qi had inserted people into her palace, she would not have come out to pay her respects to Concubine Sheng.

I just hope that Concubine Qi can retreat when she sees difficulty and stop attacking me.

"My lady is kind-hearted and doesn't want to argue with Lady Qi about her parents' affairs," Lianhua tried to comfort her, trying not to make her intentions so obvious, "but who knew Lady Qi was such an aggressive person. She couldn't let go of things that my lady had let go of.

Fortunately, we already know who the people sent by Concubine Qi are. Now we just need to explain the situation to Concubine Sheng and send them all back to the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

Concubine Wan looked at her lotus with a questioning look in her eyes, "You have forgotten that I once said that I hate others making decisions for me the most.

It seems that you have forgotten my instructions and have made mistakes again and again. Why don't I also report to Concubine Sheng and send you back to the Ministry of Internal Affairs as well?"

"My lady," Lianhua stopped and knelt in front of Concubine Wan, "I only suggested that you protect yourself, and I have no intention of making decisions for you.

I am just a little palace maid, there is not much I can do for you. I said this today because Concubine Qi is really vicious, so... that is why I made this suggestion to you. Please forgive me and don't send me back to the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

Concubine Wan looked down at Lianhua kneeling at her feet. She did not say anything for a long time, just listening to Lianhua defending herself. She only left when Lianhua shut up.

But Concubine Wan did not shout, and Lianhua did not dare to move. She called out "Young Master" again, only to get the reply that it would not happen again.

"Don't just kneel there like an idiot. Go back and pull out those nails. Send them back to the Ministry of Internal Affairs first and then inform Concubine Sheng."

"But...if we send the person back to the Ministry of Internal Affairs without informing Concubine Sheng first, it would be a bit presumptuous. My lady, you should report to Concubine Sheng first and then make plans."

After listening to Lianhua's words, Concubine Wan stopped in her tracks. She used to be the second young lady of the Zhen family, and if she wanted to deal with a few servants, she only had to ask.

Now that she had entered the palace, her movements were restricted everywhere. She had to get permission from others to send a few servants, which made her a little uncomfortable. But she was not someone who did not know the rules, so she nodded and handed the matter over to Lianhua.

Because of her delegation of power, Lianhua was able to go to Chengqian Palace openly to report to Lingrong, and at Lingrong's suggestion, she deliberately left behind an inconspicuous little girl so that when Concubine Qi took action, there would be someone to use.

After arranging everything, Lingrong asked Lianhua to hurry back, lest Concubine Wan discover the clues and put Lianhua's life in danger.

The amount of silver was naturally not small, but in order to avoid suspicion from Wan Gui's people, Ling Rong had asked Zhao Shui to exchange it for silver notes, which would be light and easy to carry close to the body without being too cumbersome.

Lianhua left with many thanks, but Lingrong picked up a letter that had just been delivered to her. It was still from the people and was still signed by Prince Guo.

"The letters come quite frequently," Zhaoshui said after seeing off Lianhua. When he came back, he saw Lingrong unfolding the letter. "It seems that Prince Guo and Miss Zhen are very anxious and want to use Miss Ye to threaten the queen."

"These two people are really brave, but Prince Guo never said in his letters that Zhen Huan was by his side. Everything is just our speculation."

“But Miss Zhen has nowhere else to go except to be with Prince Guo.

What's more, when Prince Guo was escorting Princess Gongding to her wedding, he was accompanied by a woman. This romantic affair had already spread throughout the Forbidden City.

Prince Guo was deeply in love with Miss Zhen. If the woman he brought with him was someone else, I would be quite shocked."

Ling Rong read the letter carefully, and couldn't help laughing when she heard Zhao Shui joking, "In their eyes, being able to accompany each other in folk travel is the most beautiful thing in the world.

If they hadn't written to me, it wouldn't have been bad to let them continue to live their happy lives. Unfortunately, they wrote to me again and told me that Miss Ye had confessed everything and that I was the one who sent her out of the palace."

Ling Ren resisted the urge to tear up the letter. She slapped the two thin pieces of paper on the table and said, "Although I don't believe Ye Lanyi will betray me, the speculation in this letter is indeed consistent with what we did at the beginning.

The most frightening thing is that they actually guessed that the Queen Mother was seriously ill and that we were behind it."

"This...if this is true, you are in danger, Madam."

Ling Rong shook her head and smiled, "But the letter said that these things were told to them by Miss Ye, and you and I both know that the Empress Dowager is seriously ill, and Ye Lanyi doesn't know how we did it. More than half of the things written in the letter are guesses by Prince Guo and Zhen Huan.

It's just that these two people were so smart that they actually guessed the truth.

But we can’t just sit there and wait for death, let alone respond to the letter.”

Ling Rong gave the letter to Zhao Shui to keep, and sent her to find out what Ling Lang was doing to see if he had found out about Ye Lan Yi's whereabouts.

Ling Rong originally thought that she had suffered enough shocks today, but she never expected that after dinner, someone from Jingyang Palace would come to inform her that Princess Huai Ke had been poisoned.
