The Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Ling Rong

"Sister, in my opinion, it would be better for you to avoid Feng Mang for a while. This way, Concubine Hua would be relieved."

"Given Concubine Hua's temper, she will definitely not give up. She must have other ways to deal with you. We must make plans early."

Sister Mei was a lady from a noble family, always favored by the Emperor and never faced any setbacks. This incident must have made her feel aggrieved.

I should have made plans earlier. After returning to the palace, I called Baojuan and said, "Baojuan, go find two inconspicuous palace maids and eunuchs and have them keep an eye on Concubine Hua. Remember to be careful."

"Just observe the people coming and going from a distance, don't let anyone notice, and remember to proceed with caution."

"Yes, my lady, I will do it right away."

I have a few people in my palace who can be used now. Naturally, there are already people like Concubine Hua and the Queen. I already knew that. Now is not the time to turn against each other.

In her previous life, Concubine Hua framed Sister Mei for a fake pregnancy, which resulted in her being confined to her house and demoted in rank. She suffered an unjust accusation and had no way to defend herself.

From then on, her elder sister became disappointed with the emperor and refused to get close to him again. She had no one to vent her grievances and distress to, and was framed by Concubine Hua several times, almost losing her life.

This incident became a hurdle in her heart that she could not get over. Because she was sincere to the emperor, she was also disappointed and lost hope. She ignored him for a long time and refused to accept him.

Now that my sister has been punished and is reflecting on her mistakes, it's a good opportunity for me to think of a solution so I can make plans as soon as possible.

I found the ancient recipes and studied them carefully. Although I'm not well-versed in poetry and literature, I'm quite adept at using these ancient spices. If Concubine Hua could have planned this deliberately, I could have prevented it and gotten ahead of her.

After countless attempts, I finally created a special spice that can help women conceive, but it is harmless to humans. How could I possibly harm my sister?

One day, when I had some free time, I went to give it to my sister. I carefully told her, "Sister, you can put this spice in an inconspicuous place in your bedroom. It will be no different from any other spice."

"Lingrong, what is this? Why is it placed in the bedroom?" She was very confused.

"This item won't cause any harm to your body, sister. You can use it without worry. It's just something that helps women get pregnant, there's nothing wrong with that."

"But now I am being punished and cannot even see the emperor. What's the point of this?" My sister seemed very disappointed, with a frown on her face.

"Don't worry about that, sister. I have a way to get the emperor to come and see you. As long as the emperor comes, this matter will be settled."

"The Concubine Hua now sees you as a thorn in her side and will definitely not let this go. She might come up with other ways to harm you, so we have to be on guard."

Don't tell Sister Wan about this in advance, so she doesn't worry. It would be bad if more people knew. We can talk to her later, she will definitely understand.

"Then I'll listen to you. Now that I can't go out, this is the only way."

After returning home, I asked Baojuan to find some fine satin. My sister likes elegant and graceful styles. I embroidered her favorite chrysanthemums on it and made a purse. It would be perfect for the bedroom.

This purse not only reflects my sister's temperament and taste, but also brings her good luck and blessings.

But there is no need to rush to finish it. It is best to leave it halfway done.

I got up early and went to see Sister Wan. She was worried about Sister Mei's matter.

Seeing me coming, she quickly asked me to sit over.

"My sister was really careless this time. It's also my fault that I didn't persuade her earlier, otherwise she wouldn't have been punished."

"Sister, this is not your fault. Even if it doesn't happen this time, there will be a next time. We can't guard against it."

"In my opinion, this is a good thing. It will temporarily make her less wary of Sister Mei, and we can be on guard earlier."

"You're right. I get confused when I'm anxious, and I'm not as thoughtful as you."

Sister is just worried about Sister Mei and she is confused. We can't lose our focus when we are anxious.

But I came here today to remind you, "When I came here, I heard that the Emperor was gossiping with Concubine Cao. Concubine Cao is quite scheming and has always been in the company of Concubine Hua. You must be extra careful recently."

"I know. You are the youngest, but you always worry about me and Sister Mei. We haven't done anything for you."

My sister, it’s too polite to say this. We are like sisters and should support each other. Now that something has happened to you, I am naturally worried, but we cannot lose our composure.

As I was speaking, the emperor sent someone to call my sister over. Fortunately, I arrived in time and asked her to be careful.

But my sister is very smart, so nothing will happen to her. So I feel a little relieved.

The emperor was chatting with Concubine Cao at this time, and soon his sister arrived.

Cao Qinmo deliberately talked about the first meeting between the emperor and her sister, and deliberately mentioned Prince Guo in order to sow discord between the emperor and her sister.

Fortunately, my sister was cautious and dispelled the emperor's suspicion.

In this palace, one must be extremely careful with every word and action. A single mistake could cost one's favor and even their life.

After coming back, my sister told Jinxi about what happened today. It must have been told by someone close to her. Such a trivial matter is only known by people around her.

I didn't go back, but waited for my sister to come back.

Speaking of this, my sister said that Liuzhu had been with her for many years, so it couldn't have been Liuzhu who did it. So everyone else was a suspect.

"This matter cannot be made public in advance. To avoid alerting the enemy, sister, please do nothing for now. If it is someone from the palace, there will definitely be traces."

"Sister, if you have anything to say, please send someone to tell me. I have other things to do, so I'll go back first."

"Then be careful on the road, Jinxi, go get Huanbi and see Concubine An off."

"Yes, I understand!" Jin Xi agreed.

"I don't know where Miss Huanbi has gone. She's been missing for the past few days."

Jinxi couldn't find anyone for a long time, and finally called Liuzhu to take me back.

I was secretly puzzled, but didn't say anything.

So many things have happened recently that have made me upset and I can't sleep well.

Since you can't sleep, get up and read a book.

The Emperor likes women with talent and affection, but I didn't read much in my previous life, and I'm not good at writing, so I rarely have a chance to talk to the Emperor. Lately, when I have nothing to do, I always take a look at it, and it's very helpful.

I called Baojuan over and asked about the recent situation at Concubine Hua's place. Baojuan said, "Recently, Imperial Physicians Jiang and Liu from the Imperial Hospital have been visiting Concubine Hua's palace frequently, often at night."

"Imperial Physician Jiang Cheng has always been taking care of Concubine Hua. Liu Bin is just a new imperial physician. I don't know why he ended up in Concubine Hua's care."

That’s right, it turns out that Concubine Hua was already preparing at this time.

"This servant followed the young master's instructions and only paid attention to the movement at the door. She did not arouse suspicion."

Those little palace maids and eunuchs, having received rewards from the young lady, naturally took these little matters very seriously.

In the afternoon, Sister Mei asked Caiyue to call me over, saying she had something to discuss. I guess Sister Mei must have discovered something.

I immediately followed Caiyue.
