Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Zhen Huan

"It's the Queen Mother."

Zhuxi took the order and prepared to go out to do the work.

"and many more."

The Queen Mother seemed to have thought of something and stopped twisting the Buddhist beads.

There were countless sorrows in her eyes.

"Zhuxi, go to Jingren Palace first and call the queen over, and tell her that I have something to discuss with her."

Zhu Xi looked at the empress dowager with a worried look on his face, and hurriedly left Shoukang Palace.

Zhu Xi is to the Empress Dowager as Su Peisheng is to the Emperor.

She had served the Empress Dowager for many years and understood her thoughts very well.

She was also well aware of how many things the Empress Dowager had concealed for the Empress over the years in order to preserve the glory of the Ulanara family.

Jingren Palace.

Jianqiu was massaging the queen's shoulders.

The queen closed her eyes and looked very happy:

"I couldn't bear to see Noble Lady Fucha in that state today!"

Although he said he couldn't bear it, his facial expression was extremely relaxed.

Jianqiu paused for a moment:

"The Queen has a kind heart, but Noble Lady Fucha doesn't have that kind of luck."

"Yes." A hint of ruthlessness flashed in the queen's eyes:

"It's just pity for the child."

After hearing the Queen's words, Jianqiu stared blankly ahead:

"If I had known this would be the outcome, I would have rather not had this child."

"Noble Lady Fucha wouldn't think so."

The queen looked at Jianqiu meaningfully.

Jianqiu understood, and she said what the queen really wanted to say:

"She has been so proud of the dragon fetus these days that she even dared to offend Concubine Hua."

"This incident should serve as a warning to Noble Lady Fucha."

The queen snorted coldly, remained silent for a moment, and then thought of something else:

"Have the people in charge of Noble Lady Fucha's meals in the Imperial Kitchen prepared everything?"

"Please rest assured, madam, everything has been taken care of. Nothing is left behind."

The queen nodded with satisfaction.

"It's just that Concubine Qi..."

Jianqiu hesitated and reminded the queen.

A sinister smile appeared on the queen's face:

"Even if this incident happened, it has nothing to do with me."

"Because from the beginning to the end, my hands are clean."

"The reason why I am helping Concubine Qi is because she is still useful to me now. Otherwise..."

Another sneer.

"The empress is wise..."

Just as Jianqiu was about to continue speaking, Jiang Fuhai came in to report that Zhu Xi, who was with the empress dowager, had arrived.

The smile on the queen's face disappeared immediately.

She knew that the purpose of Zhuxi's visit this time must be related to the fact that Concubine Fucha gave birth to a monster.

The Empress Dowager seldom interferes in the affairs of the harem. Could it be... ?

The queen didn't dare to think further.

But in just a moment, her usual smile appeared on her face again:

"Jiang Fuhai, pass on."

After Zhuxi paid his respects to the queen, he explained his purpose.

When the Queen heard Zhu Xi say that the Queen Mother wanted to see her about something, she asked tentatively:

"Aunt Zhuxi, did the Empress Dowager tell you what it is?"

"The master only said to ask the Queen to come over, but did not specify what it was about."

"I know."

The queen was also mentally prepared to not get any answers.

She smiled and looked at Zhuxi:

"Aunt Zhuxi will go ahead, and I will be here soon."

After saying this, she looked very thoughtful and asked Jianqiu to help her re-dress.

"Your Highness, the Queen Mother must be asking you about something related to the little prince..."

Jianqiu reminded her while she was dressing the queen.

"I know."

The queen's eyes turned red: "But I have to go."

Shoukang Palace.

"The daughter-in-law pays her respects to the Empress Dowager, may the Empress Dowager be well and safe."

The Queen Mother leaned against the bed, looked at the Queen with a loving face, and raised her hand to signal her to get up.

The Queen also sat down next to the Queen Mother very obediently.

The Queen Mother told Zhuxi to take the palace maids with her.

The two of them remained silent for a while, each with their own thoughts.

"I wonder what the Empress Dowager wants her daughter-in-law to come over so late at night?"

There was temptation and wariness in the Queen's eyes as she looked at the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother stared at the Queen's face for a long time, then sighed:

"Noble Lady Fucha is here... I am worried about the emperor's health."

"After this incident, His Majesty must be sad for a while."

Every time the Queen spoke, she would look at the changes in the Queen Mother's facial expression.

Seeing that the Queen Mother looked calm and had no intention of blaming her, she continued to speak carefully:

"Noble Lady Fucha is not blessed enough to give birth to a child for the Emperor this time."

"But there are so many concubines in the harem, they can definitely give birth to many children for the emperor."

The Queen Mother said nothing, but just listened quietly.

The Queen's eyes quickly scanned the Queen Mother's face:

"Fortunately, Wanpin and An Guiren gave birth to princesses for the emperor, which can also alleviate the emperor's worries a little."

"Why did Noble Lady Fucha give birth to an eccentric baby? As the head of the six palaces, wouldn't the Empress know this?"

The Queen Mother's tone remained gentle.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the queen quickly stood up and knelt:

"Please forgive me, Queen Mother."

"I was still thinking about Noble Lady Fucha. How could a young and healthy woman give birth to a monster for no reason?"

"It was not until I asked Zhuxi to investigate that I found out that when the young prince passed away, his entire body was covered with bruises."

"And that's clearly a sign of poisoning!"

The Queen Mother's tone was full of reproach.

The queen thought she had done this matter perfectly, but she didn't expect the queen mother to see through it at a glance.

Because she felt guilty, she didn't dare to look the empress dowager in the eye.

The Queen Mother could not help but said angrily:

"I have an eye disease, so you guys just think I'm blind! Fortunately, I know everything clearly!"

"The one who passed away today was my dear grandson!

"My Queen Mother, your daughter-in-law really doesn't know about this matter."

"If the Empress Dowager finds this matter unusual, your daughter-in-law will immediately order a detailed investigation."

In order to avoid any incident, the queen had already made plans in advance.

She specifically asked Zhang Mi to add cinnabar to the medicine prescribed for An Lingrong.

The purpose was to push An Lingrong out to take the blame when something happened.

"Investigate in detail? I'm afraid that if we continue to investigate this matter, the emperor will only think that you, the queen, are incompetent!"

The queen's eyes were red and she wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say it.

In her life, she hated two things the most: one was that others used her status as a concubine to suppress her;

Second, she is afraid that others will say she is incompetent.

But facing the Queen Mother, she felt guilty.

So even if she was unhappy, she couldn't show it.

The Queen Mother continued to speak earnestly:

"I never became a queen in my life. I only became the queen mother when the late emperor passed away."

"So once the emperor ascends the throne, I will make you the queen."

"It's all about keeping the throne of the queen in our hands."

After saying this, she looked at the Queen again and reminded:

"Remember, there are some things I can ignore with my eyes closed, but there are some things I can't!"

The Queen Mother's meaning was clear:

In order to gain the position of empress, it is inevitable to resort to some extraordinary means, but the attempt to murder the royal heir must never be allowed.

Although the Queen was unwilling, she had no choice but to agree to the Queen Mother.
