An Lingrong's Rebirth: Red
Chapter 465 Escape
"You dare to say such things, it seems that the emperor's health is really poor." Ling Rong did not show any sadness. She raised her hand and wiped the sweat from her forehead. "No matter what, you still have to take care of the emperor's health. Hongyu is too young, and I don't have any confidence.
Unless you have a way to prolong my life, the only choice I have is the Fifth Prince.
Hong Zhou has a strange personality, but you are a thoughtful person and will definitely gain the trust of the Fifth Prince."
"Your Majesty, I am trusted by the Fifth Prince, but what about you, Your Majesty?
Can the Fifth Prince really tolerate Prince Hongyu? He is your biological prince. Will he really believe that the Empress is sincerely supporting him to ascend to the throne? "
"Believe it or not, there is no better choice."
Lingrong has been thinking about this matter. She even often recalls how Zhen Huan handled it after she committed suicide in her previous life. After all, Hongzhou, Zhen Huan's son, was also young at that time, and his situation was very similar to hers.
"Fifth Prince has also tested me before. I'm sure he has lost trust in me, just like you."
"Of course I trust Your Majesty, otherwise I would not have shown this prescription to Your Majesty."
"In that case," Ling Rong looked up at He Anming, "then you should work hard for me. No matter whether the Fifth Prince ascends the throne or my son Hongyu sits on the throne, your position as the court judge will not be taken away by others."
He Anming did not reply immediately. He just looked back and bowed to Ling Rong.
"I naturally believe in your Majesty."
"Since you already know that the medicine the emperor took in the past was Huiguang, then you can imitate this medicine."
He Anming nodded and said, "I have already made a batch of pills, but the medicine still needs a medicine guide to take, so the emperor still spared Zhen's life.
But the Emperor no longer needs Lord Shen to provide medicine, and has also cut off Concubine Wan’s contact with the outside world.”
So that's how it is, Lingrong murmured in her heart. No wonder Zhen Huan and Prince Guo wrote to her again and again, and even threatened her to help Concubine Wan at the risk of being exposed.
It turned out that Zhen Huan sensed danger and was afraid that her sister would die in the deep palace.
For a moment, Lingrong was no longer worried about Ye Lan'yi's affairs. She asked someone to take He Anming to the side hall, and wrote a reply to Zhen Huan and Prince Guo.
Soon, the letter arrived in Jiangnan. Zhen Huan and Prince Guo were surprised and thought that Ling Rong had agreed to their request.
But when the letter was opened, there were only four words written on it - nonsense.
Prince Guo read the letter over and over again, but there were only these four words in the letter. "This...what does Concubine Sheng mean? Why did she only reply with these four words?"
Zhen Huan also found it strange, she sighed, "I'm afraid Concubine Sheng was worried about getting into trouble, so she didn't dare to write it in the letter.
After all, Ye Lanyi was already dead in everyone's eyes, so how could she dare to admit that this matter had anything to do with her? "
“But if Concubine Sheng keeps avoiding us and refuses to talk to us.
Now that the Emperor knows what medicine we used, Concubine Wan has lost her effectiveness. If we don’t find a way to save her, all we can get is her corpse.”
Zhen Yurao is Zhen Huan's sister, so she is naturally more anxious than Prince Guo. "Noble Concubine Sheng is determined to delay. After all, we are far away in Jiangnan, and we haven't sent any tokens. It's normal that she doesn't believe that Ye Lanyi is in our hands.
We can just write another letter and send it with a token from Ye Lanyi."
"This..." Prince Guo was still looking at the letter in his hand, "Miss Ye refused to explain the relationship between her and Concubine Sheng, and refused to hand over the marks of their private correspondence. It is difficult for us to get anything that can prove her identity.
What’s even more hateful is that I can’t enter the palace, so I can’t talk to Concubine Sheng face to face.”
He hesitated for a moment, and suddenly an idea came to his mind, "Huan'er, do you think this letter could have used some special method to conceal the content, and the four words on the paper are just a cover-up."
Zhen Huan didn't think this was a reliable guess, but since Prince Guo wanted to try it, she followed him.
It’s a pity that Prince Guo was soaked in water and burned with fire, and he didn’t see any other words in the letter.
Zhen Huan had already found something to prove Ye Lan's identity. The cat named Tuanrong was held in the arms of a little girl. Zhen Huan stood far away, as if she was afraid of the cat.
When Prince Guo saw Zhen Huan coming and noticed the cat beside her, he strode over and held Zhen Huan in his arms.
"Huan'er, if you are so afraid of cats, why did you bring this raccoon here?"
Zhen Huan gently nudged Prince Guo's chest with her shoulder, indicating that someone was watching, but Prince Guo didn't care at all and even asked Piaoxue to hold the cat farther away.
"Piaoxue, you don't have to listen to the prince, just stand where you are.
The cat has the same temper as Miss Ye. If you move around and make it uncomfortable, it will have to scratch you to keep quiet.
You are a girl, and it would be bad if you had scars on your body."
Piaoxue always listens to Zhen Huan. After all, even Prince Guo would not reject Zhen Huan's opinion.
"Huan'er, is this cat the evidence you mentioned?"
"Yes, this cat was kept by Ye Lanyi when she was in the palace, so Concubine Sheng naturally knew it.
It’s just that it’s a bit troublesome to send it back to the palace from Jiangnan, and we have to borrow the prince’s name to send the cat to the palace.”
Prince Guo nodded. Although it was a living creature, it would not be that troublesome to send it to the palace. He could just say that Jiangnan saw it and thought it was interesting, so he gave it to Princess Youning.
"The emperor loves Princess Youning the most. Once the cat enters the palace, he will send it to Chengqian Palace. We just need to wait for news."
Prince Guo signaled Piaoxue to go down, lest the cat continue to scare Zhen Huan, but unexpectedly Ye Lan'yi suddenly rushed in and snatched the cat from Piaoxue's hand.
As soon as Tuanrong saw Ye Lanyi, he struggled to return to Ye Lanyi.
Piaoxue could only hold the cat with both hands and try her best to avoid Ye Lanyi's pulling. She looked so pitiful.
Prince Guo just hid aside with Zhen Huan and did not rush over to help immediately. It was Zhen Huan who reacted first. She pushed Prince Guo who was standing in front of her and asked him to stop Ye Lan Yi.
"How dare you! Someone, take Miss Ye back to the side room. She's not feeling well, don't let her run around."
After hearing Prince Guo's call, several guards rushed in and were about to carry Ye Lanyi away.
Ye Lan Yi looked in the direction of Zhen Huan, snatched the cat and threw it at the guard, then she somersaulted over the table and rushed to Zhen Huan in two steps, pulled out the hairpin on Zhen Huan's head and put it against her neck.
The cat meowed, grabbed one of the guards very quickly, and then ran out of the door quickly, and its shadow could no longer be seen.
The room suddenly became quiet. Two guards drew their swords and confronted Ye Lanyi, who was holding Zhen Huan hostage. Prince Guo, with a worried look on his face, unconsciously took a step forward.
"Don't move!" Ye Lan Yi shouted harshly, and the hairpin in her hand poked deeper. Zhen Huan frowned in pain but did not let out a scream.
Zhen Huan raised her hand to stop Prince Guo's action. She squinted her eyes slightly, trying to see Ye Lanyi's expression, "Miss Ye, what do you want by doing this?"
"Do you even need to ask about this? You arrested me for no reason and even took my cat away." Ye Lanyi did not let go, but poked deeper, "I don't know what kind of fault I have committed, and you have put me under house arrest for no reason!
You rely on your status as princes and nobles to bully the common people and have no regard for the law. Now you want to fabricate some false charges against me and frame Concubine Sheng.
How can there be such vicious people like you in this world? Even after your true colors were exposed like this, you still don't show the slightest bit of guilt. It's disgusting to see you!"
Ye Lan's tone was excited, but Zhen Huan and Prince Guo didn't care at all. They looked at each other and discussed ways to solve the current dilemma.
"I know that Miss Ye has some complaints about what the prince and I did, but we had no choice. You might as well calm down and listen to our reasons."
"What a joke," Ye Lanyi had no intention of letting go, "I have been imprisoned by you for so long, and you have never told me the reason?
At this moment, your life is in my hands, and you seem to be scared and want to tell me the reason.
But I have no interest in listening. I just want you to prepare a horse for me and Tuanrong to leave."
"It would be easy to send you away, but the cat has already escaped in the chaos, and we really can't catch it back."
"You don't have to worry about this." Ye Lanyi was originally a trainer, so she naturally had a way to find Tuanrong back. "You should prepare horses for me immediately. Don't do anything tricky. I was a horse trainer in the Old Summer Palace. I know the quality of horses better than any of you.
Prince Guo, if you don't want Zhen Huan to die, don't hesitate any longer, it's best to do it immediately!"
Prince Guo took a deep breath. He looked at the glaring red mark left by Ye Lanyi on Zhen Huan's neck and immediately became nervous. "Okay, don't worry, I will send someone to do it right away. Put down the hairpin in your hand first. If you hurt her, I will never let you leave this room."
"You have no credibility with me," Ye Lanyi did not let go, she even deliberately squeezed Zhen Huan's arm, trapping her tightly in her arms, "I told you to prepare the horses, and you should do it immediately. I don't have that much patience, and I am too lazy to discuss it with you.
Don't think I don't know what you're going to do by stealing my cat. It's a really good idea to send a living thing into the palace as evidence.
It's a pity that Concubine Sheng doesn't recognize my cat. I can't bear to part with my cat. Don't even think about separating us!"
Seeing that Ye Lanyi was becoming more and more agitated, Prince Guo had no choice but to order his men to go out and perform horse jumping.
"Piaoxue, don't just stand there like an idiot. Go and help me prepare some dry food and water. I'm going to take them with me later."
Piaoxue responded subconsciously, but she soon realized who her master was. She immediately lowered her head and called out "Prince" in a stammering voice.
"It's okay, go down and get ready."
Prince Guo and Zhen Huan didn't mind. They wanted to speak up to comfort Ye Lan'yi, but were scolded by Ye Lan'yi instead. She sarcastically said that they said too many useless words and the quarrel caused them a lot of headaches.
Ye Lan Yi did not let go of Zhen Huan until the horses and dry food were ready. Her arms were a little numb, but she still did not dare to relax even a little.
Hearing that the horses and dry food were ready, Ye Lanyi dragged Zhen Huan out. Zhen Huan followed and stepped back, but bumped on the high threshold. She lowered her body and the hairpin slid across her neck, leaving a bloody mark.
"Hiss... Miss Ye, the things are ready. Please go a little slower. I don't want to leave scars on my body."
Ye Lanyi sneered and pulled Zhen Huan again, "It's just a small scar. Prince Guo won't dislike you because of it. Miss Zhen, just rest assured."
"Miss Ye, you are wrong. Your body and hair are given by your parents. What does it have to do with Prince Guo?"
Zhen Huan wanted to say a few more words to Ye Lan'yi, but she was deliberately pulled away, and the embroidered shoe on her left foot was stepped on and fell off.
A woman's feet cannot be seen by others at will. When Prince Guo saw this situation, he became anxious. He hurriedly called Ye Lan Yi to stop and asked to go forward and put on the embroidered shoes for Zhen Huan.
"You two are hilarious. Miss Zhen took off her shoes and played in the water barefoot, and you, Prince Guo, saw it a long time ago. Why do you still feel ashamed at this moment?
Could it be that because there are two guards around, their status and position are not worthy of seeing it?"
"Miss Ye, I know that I have restrained you these past few days and you are feeling resentful.
But there are some things that should be said and some things that should not be said, and I hope you can tell the difference.”
"There are things you should do and things you shouldn't do. Do you and Prince Guo know the difference?"
Ye Lan Yi sneered and walked in front of the horse. She glanced at her and after confirming the distance, she pushed Zhen Huan away with one hand, climbed onto the horse, and immediately galloped away.
She blew a long tune, and a ball of fluff came out from somewhere, jumped up the wall as if it could fly, and landed accurately in Ye Lanyi's arms.
The man and the cat rode on horses and quickly disappeared from Prince Guo's sight.
Prince Guo helped Zhen Huan up and ordered the guards to chase after her. The two guards had already prepared the horses and had already chased after her without Prince Guo's reminder.
"Huan'er, are you hurt?" When Prince Guo saw Zhen Huan fall, his face turned pale with anxiety. He held Zhen Huan's hand and leaned over to look at Zhen Huan's neck, which was bleeding from the hairpin. "Piaoxue, go get some hemostatic medicine!"
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. It's just a minor skin injury." Zhen Huan was picked up by Prince Guo, and couldn't help but feel shy, but she was more concerned about Ye Lanyi's situation. "Can Your Majesty get Ye Lanyi back?"
“Don’t worry, although she has some courage, she is just a commoner woman after all.
My people have already made preparations, and it won’t be long before Ye Lanyi is brought back.
It is better to treat your wound first. It would be bad if it leaves scars."
