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

Seeing Jinxi's calmness, Zhen Huan was even more surprised.

"Jinxi, have you already discovered her evil intentions?"

Jin Xi shook her head. "I had my suspicions, but I had no concrete evidence. Plus, I hadn't served Queen Chun Yuan for long, so I wasn't completely sure."

Zhen Huan looked at Jin Xi anxiously, "What's going on?"

Jinxi thought carefully and told Zhen Huan the stories of Queen Chunyuan and the current queen one by one.

"Empress Chunyuan and the current queen are half-sisters. Empress Chunyuan was born of a legitimate wife, while the current queen was born of a concubine."

"At first, the first person to enter the prince's mansion was the current queen. Later, one time when Queen Chunyuan came to visit the current queen who was already pregnant, she happened to run into the emperor who was still Prince Yong at the time."

"Somehow, the emperor fell in love with Queen Chunyuan at first sight and took her into the palace, making her his legitimate wife. Perhaps it was God's blessing, and not long after, Queen Chunyuan became pregnant."

"The emperor is very happy. However, for some reason, Empress Chunyuan is getting more and more uncomfortable in the middle and late stages of her pregnancy. The current empress knows a little about medicine and said she can help Empress Chunyuan recover."

"Under the care of the current queen, Queen Chunyuan's health did improve. However, she died during childbirth due to complications."

"The death of Queen Chunyuan has since become a thorn in the emperor's heart."

Only after hearing this did Zhen Huan realize that Queen Chunyuan died so tragically.

However, she still has a knot in her heart.

That's what the letter said.

"The emperor favors you probably because you resemble the late Queen Chunyuan."

When she thought of this, her eyes became red.

When she thought that the rewards all over the room and the favor before her were not because of her name, Zhen Huan, but because of the late Queen Chun Yuan, Zhen Huan's heart felt like it was being pierced by thousands of needles.

She asked Jinxi with red eyes.

"Is there a portrait of the late Queen Chunyuan in this palace?"

Jinxi shook her head regretfully.

"After Queen Chunyuan passed away, the emperor could not bear to hear her name mentioned in front of him. Therefore, almost all the things related to Queen Chunyuan were collected, and no one in the harem dared to mention the four words Queen Chunyuan anymore."

Zhen Huan asked unwillingly, "Then do you still remember what Queen Chunyuan looked like?"

When Jinxi saw the tears in Zhen Huan's eyes, her eyes avoided.

Zhen Huan realized something was wrong.

"You have seen Queen Chunyuan, and you remember what she looks like, right?"

"Master, please don't ask."

Jinxi became more and more flustered as she looked at the familiar face in front of her.

Some things are best not known.

Some lies are not necessarily wrong.

Jinxi hopes that Zhen Huan will always be as innocent as when she first entered the palace.

However, she also knew that in this seemingly calm yet turbulent harem, innocence was the original sin.

"Jinxi, you still won't tell me, do you want me to continue to be a fool?"

Zhen Huan questioned Jin Xi with red eyes.

Jinxi sighed as she saw Zhen Huan in so much pain.

She knelt slowly on the ground and said, "Master, you are 50% similar to the late Queen Chunyuan. I think the reason why the Emperor chose you and kept you in the palace was probably because of this."

I've already guessed the answer.

But, it was still so sad when I heard it with my own ears.

Zhen Huan smiled, but she couldn't stop crying.

Even if that man has three harems and six courtyards, even if that man has to choose a show every three years, even if that man sleeps with other women,

For Zhen Huan, as long as the man is 50% sincere to her, she will love him and she thinks it is worth it.

However, this 50% sincerity that was expressed as a compromise was actually all fake.

She was a substitute from beginning to end.

Haha, ridiculous.

"Master, don't be too sad. After all, the emperor is really good to you."

But Zhen Huan couldn't bear to listen any longer.

"Jinxi, you don't have to say anything more. Let me be quiet for a while."

"Yes, master."

Seeing Zhen Huan's red eyes and tears, Jin Xi knew that no matter how much she said, it would be useless. She could only let Zhen Huan figure it out herself.

----

"Your Majesty, the Emperor is here!" Jiang Fuhai hurried into the bedroom of Jingren Palace and reported to the Queen.

When the queen heard this, she almost dropped the teacup with both hands.

Jianqiu saw it and hurriedly took the teacup from her hand.

"Your Majesty, please get ready. The Emperor is coming soon."

Jianqiu's words brought the queen back to her senses.

"Yes, prepare well."

After waiting for a whole night, there was still no reply from the Old Summer Palace, and the queen was very worried.

The morning passed and there was still no news from the Old Summer Palace.

It's noon now.

No one came to report back to her, and she was prepared for the worst.

After asking Jianqiu to help her get herself ready, the loud voice of Su Peisheng was heard outside the palace gate.

"The Emperor has arrived!"

The queen had just stood up and taken a step forward when she heard a low, angry roar.

"Let the Queen come out to see me!"

The little palace maid bowed and knelt, replied "yes", and hurriedly walked into the inner room in small steps.

"Empress, the Emperor is here..."

"What are you rushing for?"

Jianqiu saw the little palace maid coming in to urge her and immediately scolded her.

"Aunt, please forgive me! It's just that the emperor is very angry..."

"I will go right away."

The queen walked up to the maid and glanced at her coldly.

The palace maid was so frightened that her face turned pale and her legs went weak.

The queen strode past the palace maid and walked out, just in time to see the emperor walking in.

"Your Highness!" The Queen bowed.

The emperor seemed not to see or hear anything and just sat down on the chair.

Jianqiu quickly served the emperor the freshly brewed tea.

"Let the Queen come."

"Yes."

Jianqiu turned around and handed the wooden tray with teacups to the queen, with a look of apology in her eyes.

The queen took the tray, walked up to the emperor in a low voice and knelt in greeting.

"Your Majesty, please have some tea."

"Bring it closer."

The emperor's voice was cold, his eyelids were slightly raised, and his face was expressionless.

"Yes."

The Queen came closer with the tea.

The emperor still did not reach out to take the teacup, but instead glanced coldly at the palace maids and eunuchs in the hall, then turned to Su Peisheng and said,

"Let all irrelevant people leave."

Su Peisheng bowed and replied "yes", then immediately waved the whisk in his hand and asked all the palace maids and eunuchs in the hall to leave.

Only the Queen and the Emperor were left in the room.

"I have treated you well over the years."

The emperor finally took the tea brought by the queen.

Feeling the weight of the wooden pallet being reduced, the queen's arms, which had been sore from lifting the pallet, finally felt a lot lighter.

She was just about to take a breath when she saw that the emperor had taken a sip of tea and seemed to be putting the teacup back on the wooden tray.

However, unexpectedly, the emperor did not do so.

Instead, he raised the teacup in his hand high up and threw it directly to the ground.

With a crisp "crash" sound, the celadon teacup shattered to the ground.

The queen was so frightened that her heart and liver were broken, and her knees went weak.

"Emperor calm down!"
