The Golden Partridge of An Lingrong's Rebirth

"Concubine Hui, the place where Mo Chou kneels should not be where you stand." The queen turned cold and scolded, "Everyone has their own boundaries, and even if humans and ghosts go on different paths, how can concubines and ordinary people do that?" How about standing together?"

Zhen Huan also tried to persuade her repeatedly, but Shen Meizhuang was unmoved: "Empress, even if Mo Chou leaves the palace, she shouldn't suffer physical and verbal humiliation." Throw it on the Queen's face.

The queen's face froze for a moment, and after a while, she said: "Buddhism values ​​peace of mind, Concubine Hui, you have lost your impatience today, and you can no longer visit the Buddha statue. You should just kneel here and think about it carefully."

Shen Meizhuang knelt down without saying a word, she straightened her back, but bent down two inches to hold Zhen Huan's hand, just like when the Dunsu noble concubine made things difficult for Zhen Huan and punished her to kneel in Yikun Palace, she softly comforted: "Huan'er, I will accompany you."

Zhen Huan burst into tears and held Shen Meizhuang's hand tightly.

Weiyang Palace is lit like daylight, and the sound of children reading is heard loudly.

"Human spiders, on the basis of nature, are similar in advance and far in drama..." Ankang held a copy of the "Three Character Classic" and recited it in bits and pieces, which made the emperor laugh out loud.

He hugged Ankang in his arms, rubbed her in his arms, and then called her word for word: "At the beginning of human beings, nature is good, nature is similar, habits are far away..."

Sixth elder brother sat aside and listened carefully, An Lingrong hugged the moon and coaxed, looked at the emperor and Ankang tenderly, suddenly saw Cuiyin walking in and standing outside the hall with a face of embarrassment, she couldn't help asking softly :"What's wrong?"

"Your Majesty, just now Liyi came to say that Shunchang is vomiting blood, and I would like to invite Imperial Doctor Zhou to come and have a look." After Cuiyin came in and saluted the emperor, she deliberately whispered in An Lingrong's ear.

"How could it be so serious? Didn't the imperial doctor Zhang say it was just a common cold when he came to see yesterday?" An Lingrong was startled, and raised his voice, "Quickly, quickly, take my warrant and go to the imperial hospital to ask Zhou Physician."

"What's going on?" The emperor naturally heard it, and raised his head to ask.

An Lingrong handed Miyue to the wet nurse, let her hug her to sleep, and then said to the emperor: "During dinner yesterday, Shun Chang was saying that he had a severe headache, and he went back to lie down without taking a bite of the meal. I suddenly had a high fever at night. Last night, the Imperial Hospital was on duty with Dr. Zhang, so I invited him to come over and take a look. He only said it was a cold, and prescribed some medicine and went back. This morning when the concubine went to see Shunchang, she She was already too sick to get out of bed, and just now Cuiyin said that Shunchang is vomiting blood, and I want to ask Imperial Physician Zhou to take a look." Zhou Nan is now the vice president of the Imperial Hospital, and the low-ranking concubine can't invite him.

The emperor raised his eyebrows, motioned to Cuiyin to invite him quickly, and then got up: "Okay, why are you suddenly so ill? I'll go and see."

The Zichun Pavilion was filled with a strong smell of medicine, mixed with a faint smell of blood, and Liyi's panic-stricken cry came from inside: "My lord, my lord, how can this be good!"

An Lingrong took two quick steps and pushed open the door, seeing Shun Chang's face that was so pale that there was no trace of blood in his eyes, he was so startled that his voice changed his tone: "What's going on? Didn't you look fine yesterday!"

Liyi knelt by the bed and wiped her tears, crying and said: "Concubine Rong, Wanan. The young master was fine last night, but he just had a headache. In the middle of the night, he became a little confused. The servant touched the young master. Her forehead was scorching hot, and it was useless to take the medicine prescribed by Dr. Zhang. This morning, the young master woke up a little bit, but she only complained that she had a headache, like being stuck by a needle..." She choked up, "It hurt for a while before I felt the pain. Stop, and then, the little master vomited blood."

Shunchang is the new favorite, and the emperor's novelty has not faded, seeing that she is already looking seriously ill, he can't help being angry: "How do you take care of Shunchang?"

Liyi immediately kowtowed to plead guilty, weeping uncontrollably.

At this time, Zhou Nan came in with a medicine box, his forehead was covered with a thin layer of sweat, and he was only halfway through the salute when he was urged by the emperor to see Shun Chang, and he hurriedly responded: "Yes." He half got up At that moment, he raised the end of his eyes and looked at An Lingrong quietly.

An Lingrong drooped his eyes and frowned, unable to see any emotion, he just raised his handkerchief and put it on the tip of his nose to cover it up, coughing lightly as if he was not feeling well.

Zhou Nan took out a silk handkerchief and put it on Shun Chang's wrist, put his three fingers lightly on it, and took the pulse carefully and carefully. The more he felt it, the more strange he felt, and his brows furrowed tightly.After a long time, he knelt down to the emperor and pleaded guilty with fear on his face: "This humble minister is incompetent. I can't diagnose what kind of disease Shun Chang is suffering from. I also ask the emperor to forgive me."

"It's useless." The emperor scolded him in a cold voice, then turned to look at Su Peisheng, "Go and invite Doctor Wen."

Su Peisheng hurriedly responded.

Shun Chang opened his eyes in a trance, seeing An Lingrong coming, like a lost child seeing a relative, tears of grievance poured out instantly: "Mother, my concubine hurts so much..."

"The imperial doctor will be here soon, please bear with it." An Lingrong sat down by the bed, held her hand, and comforted her softly, "What kind of pain is it? Tell me, the imperial physician Zhou has been beeping for a long time. I don’t see why, but if you talk about it carefully, you may still know a thing or two.”

Shunchang was panting weakly: "Concubine, I have a severe headache... my heart hurts too, like a needle prick, it hurts... ah!"

As she spoke, she clutched her chest and rolled over on the bed again, wailing again and again. An Lingrong was taken aback, and was hugged by the emperor and hid aside. He spat out a mouthful of blood, his body stiffened and fell heavily back on the bed, with a deep muffled sound, and he passed out.

Zhou Nan hurried forward to get the needle, and Li Yi cried and crawled over to wipe Shun Chang's blood.

An Lingrong was so frightened that his whole body trembled, he clutched the emperor's skirt tightly, and said in a clumsy voice: "Your Majesty, it's hard to be normal, did you suffer from some strange disease?"

The emperor squinted his eyes, and the aura around him suddenly became dangerous. After a long silence, he asked, "Has Shunchang had any conflicts with anyone recently?"

An Lingrong was slightly taken aback: "Shunchang is cold-tempered, never cares about gains and losses, let alone argue with others..." She paused for a moment, then suddenly remembered, "It was just a few days ago when I greeted the empress. , It's not a big deal to argue with Mr. Jin Gui, why did the emperor suddenly ask this?"

Mrs. Jin, the Tong family.

"It's okay, I'll just ask." The emperor already had doubts in his heart, but he didn't want to say more, his eyes flickered slightly, and he told Zhou Nan to take good care of him.

An Lingrong's expression turned cold, and he looked away calmly, looked around and asked, "Where's Qin'er? Why isn't she serving Shunchang by her side?"

"Go back to your mother, Qin'er was ill two days ago, the young master allowed her to rest for a few days." Li Yi replied.

An Lingrong frowned: "The master is sick, and she, a servant, treats Joe like this, and treats herself like an official lady? Cuiyin, go and call her over."

"Yes." Cuiyin bowed and bowed, then walked outside.

Zhou Nan continued to give needles, but he showed no signs of waking up, even An Lingrong couldn't help scolding him.

After finally waiting for Wen Shichu to come, however, he also had a strange face after the pulse diagnosis, and replied: "Return to the emperor, your empress, Shun Chang's pulse condition is not abnormal, it is just an occasional cold, it will be fine after a while, it shouldn't be... ..." He and Zhou Nan looked at each other, and then said, "It shouldn't be like this."

"You mean that Shunchang is pretending to be sick?" An Lingrong said, she glanced at Shunchang with an extremely ugly face, and frowned, "Tell me, how do you pretend to be in such a bloody coma?" Is it really not poisoned or something?"

Wen Shichu couldn't help it, he could only say: "The humble minister is incompetent."

"Your Majesty, I have a guess, I don't know whether to say it or not." Zhou Nan leaned over and said, his tone hesitating.

"Tell me." The emperor shook the beads in his hand impatiently.

Zhou Nan took a deep breath and buried his head lower: "Shun is in this state, since it is not poisoned or seriously ill, then it is very likely to be possessed by evil spirits."

The air in the hall suddenly condensed to freezing point, An Lingrong glanced at the emperor's face, and immediately scolded: "Bold!"

"Damn my humble minister." Zhou Nan's voice tightened, and he immediately admitted his mistake.

The emperor's aura became even colder. He was silent for a long time. When An Lingrong thought that the emperor would not speak again, he suddenly asked, "Where did Shunchang go before he fell ill?"

Li Yi hurriedly replied: "My lord doesn't like to go out. I went to Baohua Hall to pay respects to Goddess Guanyin the day before I got sick, in order to pray that I could conceive an emperor's heir as soon as possible. It will be more efficacious if it is burnt after two hours of incense, so the little master did so. Going forward, it will be the time to relax in the imperial garden in the first month."

"The emperor knows that Shunchang is here. She really doesn't like to go out. Apart from paying respects to the queen, she basically stays in the Zichun Pavilion on weekdays, either reading or drawing. Sometimes the concubines tease her about her young life. You look like an old lady." An Lingrong smiled slightly, and then changed into a sad expression, "Liyi said that Shun usually went to the Royal Garden to relax during the first month, but the concubine remembered that Jingui seemed to be worried about her that day. Seeing that Shunchang accidentally bumped into her, she insisted on punishing Shunchang for slapping her mouth, and after the empress found out, she was even punished to kneel down in Yonghe Palace to mourn her mistakes."

"Yes, that's exactly what Concubine Rong said." Li Yi nodded and said.

It's Mr. Jin again.

The emperor almost guessed some eyebrows, he raised his hand and rubbed the center of his brows: "Su Peisheng, go to Xuan Jin and come here."

"Yes." Su Peisheng left in response.

Not long after Su Peisheng left, there was a commotion outside the door. Cuiyin's furious cursing and Qin'er's trembling begging for mercy finally kicked off the scene.

"Mother, this servant found this in Qin'er's room!" Cuiyin angrily pushed open the door and walked in. Qin'er, whose clothes were messy and had no time to take care of her, came in and knelt down on the ground. Cuiyin Throwing her away, he walked up to An Lingrong and knelt down beside An Lingrong, presenting the doll in his hand.

An Lingrong's eyes froze.

The doll was pierced with long and short silver needles, and on it was written the Chinese character of birthday in cinnabar, like bloodstains.

Witchcraft!

"This matter is of great importance, and my concubines dare not make arbitrary decisions, so please ask the emperor to judge." An Lingrong restrained his clothes, leaned over and knelt down towards the emperor.

The emperor raised his hand, Cuiyin hurriedly presented the things to Xiao Xiazi, and Xiao Xiazi passed them to the emperor.

"You, come over and have a look, but your little master's natural horoscope?" The emperor pointed to Li Yi and came over to look, and after receiving her affirmative answer, his face sank completely, "Come here, detain this lowly maidservant!"

"Your Majesty, spare me!" Qin'er was so frightened that she trembled and begged for mercy one after another. She rolled her eyes and crawled to An Lingrong's side on all hands and feet, crying, "Your Majesty, save this servant, please help me!" The servants are all following the instructions of the empress!"

An Lingrong's complexion changed suddenly, and she looked back at her suddenly: "What nonsense are you talking about?!" She looked at the emperor tremblingly, and was about to say something, but saw the emperor slowly getting up and walking towards Qin'er. forward.

"Raise your head." The emperor said in a deep voice to Qin'er, and when she lifted her up high, he slapped her with a slap, "Anything dares to disdain Concubine Rong!"

Qin'er's cheeks immediately swelled up, one of her teeth fell out, and her mouth was full of blood. She kowtowed, "I don't dare to lie. Concubine Rong hates Shunchang for being favored, so she specially assigned this servant to serve her. Just to get rid of Shun Chang one day..."

The emperor stretched out his hands to An Lingrong, helped her up, and without looking at Qin'er, the power of the emperor poured down: "If you confess honestly, I can still give you a whole corpse, if you continue to slander Rong Rong Concubine, I don't need to investigate, I will just drag you down and put you to death." He held An Lingrong's hand and said loudly, "My Rong'er, I will never do such a thing!"

An Lingrong looked up at the emperor, the trust in his eyes was like a sharp sword piercing through her chest, a heat came from nowhere, welling up in her eyes.
