An Lingrong's Rebirth: Red

Su Peisheng and Cui Jinxi planned for a long time, and finally decided to use the original method, which was to ask Cui Jinxi to pretend to be sick and temporarily leave Chun Guiren.

This matter also could not be rushed. Cui Jinxi just pretended to cough at first, and gradually stopped accompanying Concubine Chun to pay her respects.

Ling Rong did notice that Cui Jinxi was occasionally absent, but she did not think much about it, let alone think that the emperor wanted to find another woman like Queen Chunyuan to enter the palace.

At the same time, in Ningguta, Huanbi was taken back to the capital by Prince Guo, and Zhen Yurao also followed back.

Only Zhen Huan was still left in that bitter and cold place. Although she had received the assurance from Prince Guo, in her eyes it was just a promise that was far away.

Her parents are dead, and her two younger sisters, one entered the palace and the other entered the prince's mansion. Now she is the only one suffering. The Prince Guo, who always said that he would only love her for the rest of his life, is even worse than the heartless emperor.

Zhen Huan crumpled up the letter she wrote to Prince Guo. She was upset and wanted to leave Ningguta, but she had no one to turn to. It was impossible for her to do so on her own.

From childhood to adulthood, Zhen Huan had never fallen into such a desperate situation. Even in Ganlu Temple, she still had her family to support her and could provide some help.

But now, there is really nothing.

Zhen Huan sighed, she looked up at the clouds outside the window, and was stunned for a long time before she spread out the paper again and turned to write a letter to the Shen family.

What she can use now is the fact that Shen Meizhuang is still alive. In order to prevent her from revealing the secret, the Shen family will find a way to rescue her from Ningguta.

"Even if I can't see anyone in the future, it's good to be with Sister Mei every day. What about being together for a lifetime? It's all fake."

Zhen Huan was extremely sad. When she thought of her miserable experience, tears started to flow down her face. Her appearance was damaged but still pretty. Her fingers were really rough. Her palms kept shaking when she held the brush, and it took her a long time to write a single word.

After a long time, Zhen Huan finally finished writing a whole page. Her handwriting was still the same as before, but the torture here had lasted too long, so she could no longer write as easily as before. She could only speak her mind and say a few words about her longing for Shen Meiyu.

"…In this bitter cold place, like a bird in a cage, looking back on the past, I can only think of the love we had as sisters."

I'm sorry, sister Mei...

Zhen Huan muttered to herself as she folded the letter and hesitated for a moment before walking out the door resolutely.

Although the letter was sent, Zhen Huan didn't know that the emperor had already taken Shen Meizhuang away. Her letter to the Shen family was destined to get no help.

Shen Zishan would even report the news to the emperor immediately, making her situation even more dangerous.

However, the letter was not as fast as Prince Guo's delivery. Before the emperor learned that Zhen Huan was thinking of escaping from Ningguta, Prince Guo brought Huanbi into the palace, kowtowed to the emperor, and thanked him for his grace.

The emperor had no interest in a vulgar person like Huanbi, but he liked to see Prince Guo pretend to be deeply in love with Huanbi in front of him.

"I thank the emperor for his mercy. Huanbi did not suffer much in Ningguta. She only did easy things. It was all thanks to the emperor's words."

Although Huanbi did not feel that she had not suffered in Ningguta, she did not dare to argue. She could only kowtow with Prince Guo and respectfully thank the emperor for his grace.

"Old Seventeen has been missing Huanbi day and night since she left Beijing. Now he has finally gotten what he wanted. Congratulations."

"Not only me, but even Jingxian was very happy. She talked to Huanbi all night last night. It was only after I urged them to separate and go to bed."

Prince Guo obviously didn't want to show off too much in front of the emperor. After all, he didn't like Huanbi at all, so he quickly turned the topic to Meng Jingxian. At least he had the child in her belly to talk about.

"Your wife has been pregnant for a long time, right?"

"It's almost eight months. I've had back and leg pains these past few days and have been unable to get out of bed. Otherwise, I would have come here with my brother today to thank the emperor for his grace."

When Prince Guo mentioned the child, the smile on his face became much more sincere. Although he did not love Meng Jingxian, he also felt a little guilty towards her because of the child.

"The Queen has been asking me this question these days, no wonder she reminded me to prepare some gifts.

These girls’ affairs are best understood by girls.”

The emperor showed some concern and used the queen as a shield to show his consideration for Prince Guo and his wife.

"The Emperor's sister-in-law is the most kind and considerate. She even remembered such a small matter. After Jingxian gives birth, I will bring her to the palace to thank the Emperor and the Emperor's sister-in-law."

"It's all a small matter," the emperor looked up at Su Peisheng, who immediately understood and asked Huanbi to leave. "Have you found out the truth about Zhen Yuandao's death?"

"I have already investigated it clearly. It was Guarjia Emin who did it. Along the way, Emin kept trying to erase the evidence and even almost killed Chen Si.

Fortunately, I was well prepared, so he didn't succeed."

"It's hard to handle this matter privately. Let's bring it up in the court tomorrow to warn everyone. It will also be more legitimate to ask Huanbi to return to the capital."

Prince Guo did not suspect anything and thought that the emperor wanted to make an example of someone, so he agreed. Seeing that the emperor was happy, he hesitated for a moment and then began to plead for Zhen Huan.

"Your Majesty, Zhen Yuandao has another daughter who is still suffering in Ningguta. Please see..."

"There is another daughter?" The emperor pretended not to know. "I remember that Zhen Yuandao only had two daughters, Huanbi and Zhen Yurao. There is another one?"

Prince Guo was choked. He didn't expect that the emperor, the ruler of a country, could be so shameless and pretend not to remember.

But how could he dare to mention Zhen Huan's name in front of the emperor? After the words rolled around on his tongue, he said that Zhen Yuandao also had an illegitimate daughter, who was also in Ningguta.

"So you are talking about that illegitimate daughter," the emperor said, as if he had suddenly realized something, but he did not give in. "Marrying the daughter of a guilty minister is a serious crime. Now that he is dead, the son can only pay for the father's sin. I cannot be partial.

I have been lenient enough in asking his two daughters to return to Beijing. Old Seventeen, you don’t think I have been too harsh on them, do you? "

"I dare not," Prince Guo hurriedly bowed, he sighed, as if lamenting, "I just feel that it is a bit pitiful to leave her alone to suffer.

Besides, the emperor governs the country with benevolence and virtue, and he would definitely not let a little girl suffer such hardships. I spoke up boldly just now, but inadvertently forgot about Zhen Yuandao's guilt."

"It's not too late to think about it now. I know you are kind and you pay special attention to the Zhen family because of Huanbi.

But there are some things that I can’t continue to turn a blind eye to.”

Seeing that he could not persuade the emperor, Prince Guo took a step back and said, "After all, she is Huanbi's sister. Please allow me to bring her some necessary things."

"I am glad that you have this thought. Go ahead if you want to, but I also want to remind you that she must be punished no less severely."

"I understand." Although Prince Guo agreed verbally, he had already started planning how to take Zhen Huan away. After all, it was a remote place like Ningguta, and no one would care if one person died.

If you give them a little more silver as a subsidy, the armored men over there will release the people immediately.

As long as no one speaks up, the emperor will never know. In a moment, Prince Guo has made up his mind that he must bring Zhen Huan back to his side.

"As for Huanbi, she is your concubine after all. It is not good to keep calling her by her maid's name. So, restore her real name, Zhen Yuhuan."

"This..." How could Huanbi be called Zhen Yuhuan? Prince Guo wanted to refute immediately, but he quickly remembered that Huanbi was exiled under the name of Huan'er, and now in the eyes of the emperor, there was nothing wrong with restoring her original name.

"Why, did I remember it wrong? After all, Zhen Yuandao's second daughter is called Zhen Yurao, and the eldest daughter is called Zhen Yuhuan. There's nothing wrong with that, right?"

"Your Majesty is certainly not mistaken. I am happy for Huanbi. It is a blessing for her to be able to restore her original name."

"It's just a name, why should you be so excited?

Go back and prepare as soon as possible. The matter of Guarjia can't be delayed any longer."

"Brother Chen understands."

Prince Guo bowed again and left quickly with Huanbi. He did not tell her that the emperor had changed her name to Zhen Yuhuan, but he never expected that the emperor's decree would arrive at the mansion soon.

"What? Why did my name get changed? Your Highness, what about my eldest sister?"

"This world is so big, there are so many people with the same name. Even if you use her name, you will not become hers."

Prince Guo's attitude towards Huanbi changed quickly, probably because she took Zhen Huan's place and also took Zhen Huan's name. Even if he was a gentle person, it was difficult for him to have a good face towards Huanbi now.

It’s a pity that Huanbi didn’t know the truth and thought that the prince didn’t care, so she felt relieved.

"But my eldest sister will probably be sad because of this."

"Huan'er won't mind. Besides, now that you have your own name, she will definitely be happy for you."

Huanbi nodded and let out a long sigh, "Your Majesty, has the Emperor said when my elder sister can return to the capital?"

"The emperor is unwilling to give in. I think we have to think of some way to bring Huan'er back."

Huanbi noticed the way Prince Guo addressed Zhen Huan. She was stunned for a moment and couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable.

But she also knew that the prince liked her eldest sister, so even though she felt a little jealous, she had to suppress it temporarily.

After all, rescuing the eldest sister from Ningguta is the most important thing. Arguing with the prince at this time will only delay the progress of the eldest sister's return.

Even if Huanbi is a person who loves to picky things, she would not make a mistake in such a matter.

"I can't help much, I can only help the prince to take care of the affairs of the mansion. If my elder sister can return to the capital, I hope that the prince can take me with him to welcome my elder sister back."

"You have a heart."

Prince Guo sighed, and sent Huanbi away with a few words. He sat alone in the pavilion, drinking wine and talking to himself while looking at Zhen Huan's portrait.

Huanbi did not walk far. When she turned around, she saw Prince Guo in this state. The same was true for Meng Jingxian in the distance. However, seeing Prince Guo in this state, neither of them could go forward. They could only sigh and leave.

Early the next morning, Prince Guo listed the evidence of Guaerjia Emin's murder of Zhen Yuandao and his wife at the morning court. With both human and material evidence, Guaerjia Emin had no room for excuses and could only honestly plead guilty.

As for the two daughters left behind by Zhen Yuandao, the emperor also pardoned them and brought them back from Ningguta, thus clearing up their identities.

However, the ministers did not discuss too much about what Guwaljia Emin had done. Instead, they were very interested in what happened while he and Prince Guo were out investigating the case.

Some even speculated that Guwalgia Emin had a conflict with Prince Guo during the investigation of the case, which led to him being framed by Prince Guo and losing his official position.

After all, Prince Guo is the emperor's brother, so the emperor cannot be too harsh on him. He is just a deputy censor of the Inspectorate, and someone else will be able to fill his position.

"For colluding with a clique and murdering Zhen, the emperor only dismissed him from his post and confiscated his property, which is already a great favor.

Even the daughter of the Guarjia family is a noble lady in the palace. The emperor is so kind, it must be because of Prince Guo. "

"Could it be that Emin was really framed by Prince Guo? No wonder an iron-blooded emperor would be so lenient."

"yes……"

The ministers who were discussing these matters gradually walked away. Prince Guo heard everything clearly, but he could not figure out why these people made such speculations.

But the innocent are innocent, and Prince Guo had no intention of explaining to them. What he had to do now was to bring Zhen Huan back from Ningguta, and everything else was just a small matter.

As for the emperor, the instigator, he was naturally very satisfied with the current discussions in the court and the public. In order to prove the "frame-up" of Prince Guo, the emperor even stayed in Shangtianguang for three consecutive days. On weekdays, he often asked Concubine Qi to go to Wanfang Anhe to serve writing, as if to appease him.

But Concubine Qi felt sad. She once looked down on An Lingrong's family background, but now she has become the daughter of a criminal, and her status is not even as noble as those palace maids of the Eight Banners.

How could she bear this? She seldom left the house during the day, for fear of running into those people whom she had ridiculed, beaten and scolded.

But the emperor did not let her hide in her shell, and asked her to serve Wan Fang Anhe all day long.

At the beginning, Concubine Qi was in a hurry, but gradually, she began to regain her former arrogance. After all, the emperor's favor was also her confidence, which made her feel that she was no worse than anyone else.

On this day, Wuling is full of spring scenery.

Everyone paid their respects to the Queen Mother, but Concubine Qi still did not show up, and she did not even send anyone to explain the situation to the Queen Mother.

"I heard that Concubine Qi was invited by Eunuch Su to Wanfang Anhe early in the morning. I guess the emperor told her not to pay her respects."

Concubine Chun raised her handkerchief to hide her expression. She had been trying hard to win favor for a while. It was already difficult to deal with Concubine Sheng alone, and now there was Concubine Qi too. How could she not be angry?

At this time, Concubine Qi went to serve the Emperor without informing the Queen. How could she not take this opportunity to give Concubine Qi a good lesson?
