The Return of An Lingrong in Legend of Zhen Huan

Because the Emperor ordered that Zhen Huan should be given the promised share in the future, what was delivered to Sui Yuxuan at dinner time were stale rice and stale vegetables. Not only were they stale, but they were also too little.

Xiao Yunzi and the others complained at first. You know, even when Zhen Huan was out of favor and lost favor due to miscarriage, the food was not so bad. But because of the current situation, they had no choice but to eat.

Jingxi walked in with the hot meal. Zhen Huan was already curled up on the bed, wrapping herself tightly in the quilt.

Jin Xi also felt uncomfortable. She knew that for a lady from a noble family, wearing only her inner garment was the same as wearing nothing at all. No one gave Zhen Huan a coat at that time. Zhen Huan just walked back like this. What was the difference between this and running naked?

Alas, what a sin.

"Your Highness, I have heated up the food. It is still edible. Please have some."

"Sui Yu Xuan is closed, isn't it?"

Jin Xi lowered her head and said, "Yes, they closed it as soon as Miss Zhen moved out." She then quickly comforted her, "Don't be too sad, Miss. Don't let your heartbreak ruin your health."

Zhen Huan wiped her tears and said: "It's better to shut it down. It will be quiet."

Zhen Huan raised her head and looked at Jin Xi and said, "I just want you to suffer with me."

"The servants will have no complaints."

Zhen Huan lowered her head and said, "Jin Xi, I asked you before why you were so loyal to me for no reason, and you just said it was fate. Can you tell me now?"

Jing Xi lowered her head somewhat guiltily, and Zhen Huan said slowly: "Is it because I look like Queen Chun Yuan, right?" Although Zhen Huan was asking, her tone was very affirmative.

Jin Xi did not deny it outright, but nodded and said, "You and Queen Chun Yuan are somewhat similar, but not completely similar."

"Really?" Zhen Huan said slowly: "It was not until today that I understood why Concubine Duan was so surprised when she first saw me. Why did she say such words? She was the first concubine to enter the palace, so she was naturally familiar with Queen Chunyuan's appearance."

"Five points of resemblance and five points of temperament are enough to make the emperor fall in love." Jin Xi has been in the palace for a long time. She can tell what kind of person is like just by looking at him. The first time she saw Zhen Huan, she knew that she would be favored by the emperor in the future. Following such a master, she would definitely not be bad.

"50% appearance, 50% temperament. That's enough to make you pledge allegiance to me, right?" Then he added: "No, you pledge allegiance to Queen Chunyuan."

Jin Xi knelt down quickly and said, "Your Majesty, you are worrying too much. I was not lucky enough to serve Queen Chunyuan. It was just by chance that I was favored by Queen Chunyuan. And you, my lady, only look like Queen Chunyuan when you put on her clothes. Queen Chunyuan is too kind. Although my lady is soft-hearted sometimes, she still has the time to make decisions. I was loyal to you because of Queen Chunyuan's kindness, but later it was all because of you, my lady..."

Jinxi was originally the head aunt of Suiyuxuan. Seeing that this young lady looked so much like her former benefactor, she would naturally be more loyal to her, believing that this was their fate.

"I have fallen out of favor now. This time is different from the past. I am afraid it will be difficult to recover. Your loyalty to me will be in vain."

"My lady, I am also responsible for this matter. I just felt that the dress looked familiar, but I couldn't remember where it was. It was Queen Chunyuan's old dress, and Eunuch Jiang had never served Queen Chunyuan before. It seems that we have fallen into someone else's trap this time. Poor Eunuch Jiang has been beaten to death by the emperor's order."

"I don't know if he was implicated by me or was a pawn in a plot." Then he looked at Jinxi and said, "Jinxi, I shouldn't have doubted your loyalty."

The two held each other tightly. Zhen Huan said, "Even if you did it because of Queen Chunyuan, it was for my own good, but Your Majesty." Then she sneered, "Queen, Queen, you really put in so much effort."

"How do you see that, young master?"

"If it wasn't the Queen, who could have touched Queen Chunyuan's old things? How could it be so coincidental? The mantis stalks the cicada, while the oriole waits behind. I am just a chess piece in the Queen's hand."

Because of Huipin's "miscarriage" before, everyone had a knot in their hearts about the queen, and Jinxi couldn't help but say: "It's really hard to guard against."

"I have lost the emperor's heart, and I have not won the queen's favor. Moreover, this matter involves Queen Chunyuan. This is where the emperor is hurt."

The master and servant had a heart-to-heart talk and analyzed the current situation. Now they could only wait and see what would happen.

But Zhen Huan had had so many wonderful times in the past, but now she was suddenly told that she was just a substitute. This made it difficult for Zhen Huan to accept it for a while. She lay in bed sickly for the next few days and refused to eat.
