After Hua Fei was reborn, she became the white moonlight of Pangju

Chapter 157: Your Majesty, Please Let Me Go

Wen Shichu knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times.

"The great righteousness between the emperor and his subjects, and between father and son, is something I will never forget. I swear to heaven that I have never done anything to let down the emperor or the noble lady Wan."

The emperor was still angry, but when he saw Wen Shichu spoke sincerely and frankly, his anger subsided a little.

"Then why do others say that you and Concubine Wan are having an affair!" The emperor sat on a chair and looked down at Wen Shichu.

Wen Shichu knelt straight, clasped his hands and replied: "When I passed by there, I heard the screams of Concubine Wan, and immediately ran over and saw that Concubine Wan was bitten by a snake. Just as I bent down to carefully check Concubine Wan's wound, several eunuchs suddenly rushed out and tied me up. You also saw what happened afterwards. Your Majesty, Concubine Wan is in critical condition if you don't save her!"

Concubine Hua was also trying to persuade her.

"Your Majesty, don't you know how much Zhen Huan loves you? If you continue to waste the afternoon like this, Concubine Wan will die."

Under Concubine Hua's persuasion, the Emperor finally allowed Wen Shichu to treat Zhen Huan first.

Half an hour later, Zhen Huan woke up.

She saw the emperor and weakly reached out to him.

"Silang, am I going to die, so I met you?"

When the emperor saw that Zhen Huan woke up first and was looking for him, he finally felt relieved.

"Doctor Wen, how is Concubine Wan's condition?" Concubine Hua asked Wen Shichu.

Wen Shichu bowed and replied, "Fortunately, the snake that bit Lady Wan was not a highly venomous snake. Applying herbs for a few days will detoxify it."

Concubine Hua also felt relieved.

Zhen Huan held the emperor's hand and choked with sobs.

"Your Majesty, I was walking alone on the path by the lake and saw many beautiful fireflies. I couldn't help but want to get closer to see them. Unexpectedly, I stepped into the grass and was bitten by a snake! Thanks to Doctor Wen, otherwise I would not be able to see you!"

After hearing Zhen Huan's story and combining it with Wen Shichu's explanation, the emperor finally understood what was going on.

He patted Zhen Huan's back and said gently, "I will reward Doctor Wen well. As for those gossipers..."

He looked at the queen and his eyes became sharp.

"Queen, please tell me what is going on."

The Queen said innocently, "Your Majesty, I was having dinner at the time, so I hurried over and heard someone say that Concubine Wan and Doctor Wen... I guess it's all groundless rumors, and I was just making things up!"

The Queen's words seemed to be an admission of guilt, but also hinted that the matter was not that simple.

The queen is worthy of being the queen.

Even if Zhen Huan and Wen Shichu could escape unscathed today, the seeds of doubt had already been planted in the emperor's heart.

The emperor said angrily: "Don't tell me such unfounded things in the future! Otherwise, I will never let you off easily!"

That night, everyone was in a state of panic.

After two or three hours of chaos, the emperor finally let everyone go.

Zhen Huan was sent back to her own residence. Concubine Hua was worried and sent her back to her own residence as well.

After everyone else left, Concubine Hua dismissed everyone and only left Jin Xi.

"Lady Wan, you and Imperial Physician Wen must be careful about your behavior in the future. Whenever you meet, never meet alone. There must be other people present." Concubine Hua thought of Wen Shichu's fate in his previous life and specifically instructed Zhen Huan.

Wen Shichu is a good man, and Concubine Hua really doesn't want him to castrate himself again because of Zhen Huan in this life.

Zhen Huan asked in confusion, "Your Majesty, do you also doubt me and Doctor Wen?"

Concubine Hua shook her head, "I never suspected that there was anything fishy going on between you two! However, just because I didn't suspect anything doesn't mean that others didn't suspect anything, especially the emperor! Lady Wan, you are a smart person. You should know that if anyone finds out that you have any connection with Doctor Wen, one of you will definitely get hurt!"

After hearing what Concubine Hua said, Zhen Huan closed her eyes in pain.

Before entering the palace, Wen Shichu once said that he would protect her for the rest of her life.

Therefore, after entering the palace, whenever Zhen Huan needed help, she would talk to Wen Shichu.

Now, she was asked to completely draw a line between herself and Wen Shichu, which was something she couldn't do.

She didn't love Wen Shichu, but she was used to Wen Shichu's care and protection.

How could Concubine Hua not understand Zhen Huan’s thoughts?

"Think carefully about what I said. Keep your distance from Doctor Wen, and you can save his life. If you don't listen, be prepared for Wen Shichu to sacrifice himself for you one day in the future!"

"My lady, you know everything?!"

"Every time Wen Shichu comes to see me, he doesn't ask for fame or money, he just asks me to protect you. Although he only says that it's because we grew up together, this affection is too great. Lady Wan, what do you think?"

Zhen Huan was silent.

Hua Fei is right.

Given the emperor's suspicion and jealousy, if he continues to have frequent contact with Wen Shichu as before, he will definitely get into trouble.

By then, not only would Wen Shichu be implicated, but he would also be doomed to eternal damnation.

After figuring it out, Zhen Huan smiled bitterly, "When I first entered the palace, I was indeed afraid, so I asked Doctor Wen to help me again and again. It seems that I have to walk the road ahead on my own."

Hua Fei said: "Life is like this. The further you go, the lonelier you become."

Because Zhen Huan was poisoned and needed to recuperate, the Emperor came to Concubine Hua more often.

"Your Majesty, Lady Wan has been poisoned. You should accompany her."

"The imperial physician said that she needs to rest, so let her rest well."

"As for the Queen, how long has it been since you last visited her?"

“I just went to see it a few days ago.”

"Then you want to go and have another look?"

After dinner, the Emperor made it clear with his eyes that he wanted to stay overnight with Concubine Hua.

Concubine Hua sometimes sent the Emperor to see Zhen Huan, and sometimes sent him to see the Queen.

The emperor was a little angry.

"The concubines in the harem all wish I could go to them every day, but you are pushing me away every day!"

Hua Fei smiled and said, "Your Majesty, even if you spend every day with me, I cannot give birth to a son or daughter for you!"

When the emperor heard this, his eyes dimmed.

"Who said that? You are still young and can still have children."

Hua Fei smiled bitterly, "I said it myself. It has been so many years. If I could have a child, I would have had it long ago. I have given up this wish long ago. So, I hope that other concubines can give birth to more children for the emperor."

The emperor sighed and stood up.

Hua Fei thought he was going to leave, but unexpectedly, the emperor suddenly picked up Hua Fei and walked towards the bedroom.

"Don't give up. If you get pregnant one day, I will definitely protect him well and won't let him get hurt by anyone again!"

The expression on the emperor's face was so serious that Concubine Hua was dazed for a moment.

However, Concubine Hua immediately reminded herself that the emperor was just acting!

In the following days, the emperor would always favor Concubine Hua whenever he had time.

Hua Fei was tormented by him so much that after a month, she wrapped herself in a quilt.

"Your Majesty, please let me go."
