Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

If the emperor wants to deal with someone, there is nothing he cannot do. Moreover, Zhen Yuandao doesn't need anyone else to fabricate any charges against him!

It just so happened that Lady Guaerjia's father, Lord Emin, got hold of a collection of poems that Zhen Yuandao had privately kept and that was banned by the emperor. When Lord Emin impeached Zhen Yuandao, the emperor listened to Zhen Yuandao's excuses and had Zhen Yuandao imprisoned. At the same time, he ordered people to surround the Zhen Mansion. Unexpectedly, they really did find some things out of the Zhen family. It turned out that Zhen Yuandao had secretly kept a lot of calligraphy and paintings that were banned by the court, including letters that the Zhen family used to communicate with the Baiyi tribe.

Zhen Yuandao was sentenced to beheaded for secretly keeping anti-government poems, secretly marrying a guilty girl, and being disloyal to the previous dynasty. He would be executed at the Meridian Gate soon. The Zhen family was completely confiscated, and Zhen Da Ying's biological mother Yun and younger sister Zhen Yurao were also sent to the Jiaofang Bureau.

After Zhen agreed to get the news, she slapped Huanbi twice almost immediately. She attributed the unfortunate experiences of the Zhen family and her parents and younger sister to Huanbi. At the same time, she also deeply understood that the only flaw in the whole thing was that she could not bear to send Liuzhu, who was considered honest and loyal by outsiders, to the Ministry of Internal Affairs!

Huanbi didn't care about Yun and Zhen Yurao, but she cared about her father Zhen Yuandao very much. After all, she understood over the years that although she was nominally a slave in the Zhen family, she actually lived like a lady.

She had thought about finding an opportunity to serve the emperor. Once she got the position of concubine, maybe she could make Yun give in and send her biological mother's tablet to the Zhen family ancestral hall for worship. But the prerequisite for all this was that, first, she could serve the emperor and have a status; second, the Zhen family still existed.

Huanbi's mind was now filled with the news that Zhen Yuandao was going to be beheaded. She didn't care about the pain on her face at all, or rather, she didn't feel it at all. She knelt beside Zhen Da Ying and cried, "Eldest sister, please think of a way quickly. If Daddy is beheaded, the Zhen family will be gone!"

Zhen promised that Huanbi would die, so when he saw her crying and making trouble, he kicked her and said, "What are you doing here?!"

"Isn't it all your fault that the Zhen family is going to be destroyed?!"

"You are really capable. You are just a palace maid, yet you dare to speak ill of the emperor's legitimate concubines. Now you have even implicated my parents and younger sister!"

The shoes that Zhen Da Ying is wearing now are the Shu brocade shoes that the emperor gave her last year. They have ivory soles and Shu brocade uppers, and are surrounded by a circle of rice bead tassels with ruyi patterns. They are extremely luxurious and rare.

Huanbi was kicked in the chest by Zhen Da Ying. Although the pain made her spasm unconsciously, she immediately got up after she recovered. Her mind was much clearer. When she saw Zhen Da Ying's Shu brocade shoes, she immediately thought of a lot of things.

She crawled over again and hugged Zhen Yingda's thighs and cried, "Eldest sister, we can't waste time now. Since you were confined to Suiyuxuan, the rewards the emperor gave you before have not been taken back, which shows that the emperor still cares about you."

"I know it's not nice to be treated as someone else, but do you want to watch Daddy die?"

Zhen Da Ying's temper was all due to the kick she had just given Huanbi. Although she still hated the fact that Huanbi's life experience had been exposed and had implicated the Zhen family, she grew up with Huanbi after all. Before Huanbi's life experience was revealed, she really treated Huanbi as a sister, and that was under the premise that Huanbi was a slave.

When Huanbi's life story was revealed, although she felt sorry for her biological mother and felt sorry for her mother who knew about their father's betrayal so early on and had to compromise with their father for the sake of her sisters, when Huanbi really became her sister, she felt more pity for Huanbi.

So when Huanbi had the idea of ​​climbing into her bed, she just used words of persuasion to discourage her and continued to treat her the same as before. Even Cui Jinxi felt that she was being wronged and was even worried that she was nurturing a tiger to harm her.

Now Cui Jinxi's worries have really come true. She has indeed raised a tiger to harm herself. Although it is not the direction that Cui Jinxi has always worried about, the consequences are even worse.

Zhen agreed that the only person who could be of use to her was Xiao Yunzi. She asked Xiao Yunzi to ask Concubine Duan to come over at night. Originally, she was not sure about it, but she did not expect that Concubine Duan actually came to Suiyuxuan alone at night and avoided the guards.

When she arrived at Concubine Duan, Zhen Da Ying didn't care about much anymore. She knelt down firmly in front of Concubine Duan and begged, "Your Majesty, I want to know something about Queen Chunyuan. I have nothing now. If I ever leave, I will follow your lead."

Zhen agreed to choose Concubine Duan just to take a gamble. She was betting that Concubine Duan had something she wanted, and she was also betting that she could fulfill her request.

Sure enough, Concubine Duan helped her up with her own hands and spoke with great pity for her.

"Back then, Empress Chunyuan and the Emperor first met in early summer, when the flowers in the Imperial Garden were in full bloom and the scenery was very beautiful. When she entered the palace to visit the Empress Dowager, who was still a concubine, Empress Chunyuan was moved by the beautiful scenery and couldn't help but dance the stunning dance. The Emperor, who happened to see this scene, was very moved and later went to the late Emperor to beg him to marry Empress Chunyuan as his principal wife."

"At that time, Queen Chunyuan had already made an engagement and was only waiting for the other party to return from the battlefield to get married. But unexpectedly, the emperor knelt in front of the late emperor for three days and did not give up. The late emperor had no choice but to make the two of them happy."

"Empress Chunyuan was a very beautiful and pure person. She was gentle, dignified, intelligent, proficient in poetry, literature, dance and music, and had a deep relationship with the emperor. Unfortunately, she soon became pregnant with the second prince, but due to various discomforts during pregnancy, her body was damaged. When she gave birth, the second prince died at birth. Empress Chunyuan also died of excessive exhaustion and bleeding in the end."

After listening to this, Zhen Da Ying had a different opinion of Empress Chun Yuan. Because when people in the capital talked about Empress Chun Yuan in private, although they did envy the love between Empress Chun Yuan and the Emperor at first, they could not help but question the upbringing of the Ulanara family.

But now, when she heard Concubine Duan's comments on Empress Chunyuan, Zhen Da Ying couldn't help but feel that people really like to think the worst of people. Empress Chunyuan was definitely not the power-hungry person they said she was.

Not to mention that Zhen agreed, even Concubine Duan, who had been with Empress Chunyuan for quite some time, initially thought that Empress Chunyuan was greedy for power, so she stole her sister's husband. But after getting along with Empress Chunyuan, she understood more deeply that there was really love at first sight between Empress Chunyuan and the Emperor. The two of them overcame numerous obstacles together and finally got married. Although they inevitably owed some things to others during the period, they really got together just because of love.

Concubine Duan knew what Zhen Da Ying was going to do, so she tried her best to describe the voice, appearance and smile of Queen Chun Yuan to Zhen Da Ying, and left quietly when the day was about to dawn.
