Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Zhen Huan

Chapter 196 Concubine Duan kneels down to beg the Emperor

Seeing the Fourth Prince's expectant look, Nanny couldn't help but remind him:

"But Fourth Prince, Concubine Wan is now deeply favored by the Emperor, and she is still young. She will always have her own..."

In the end, the nanny didn't say the next words.

The Fourth Prince understood the meaning of Madam's words and immediately lowered his head:

"Mammy, what do you think I should do?"

"If I stay in the Old Summer Palace forever, and my father has other children, he will definitely forget me."

After saying this, the Fourth Prince couldn't help but burst into tears.

No matter how smart or cunning he is, he is still a child after all, and he will have the same negative emotions as children.

It's just that I'm better at hiding it in front of others.

Nanny has watched the Fourth Prince grow up since he was a child.

She saw how much suffering the Fourth Prince had endured along the way.

Therefore, she would do her best to help the Fourth Prince in any way she could.

She first squatted down, wiped the tears from the Fourth Prince's face and said soothingly:

"Brother, I know you are wronged."

"I have seen all your efforts over the years."

"I believe that if the emperor knew how smart you are, he would like you from the bottom of his heart."

"But the key point now is that the emperor doesn't know any of this!"

"So in my opinion, the most urgent thing is to leave the Old Summer Palace as soon as possible..."

“What does Madam mean…?” The Fourth Prince wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and immediately regained his composure.

Nanny looked at the Fourth Prince seriously and said:

"Now, whether it's Concubine Wan, Concubine Duan, or any other lady, as long as she can help you leave Yuanmingyuan, you shouldn't reject her."

"Only when you get out first can you plan for the future."

The Fourth Prince understood everything immediately and felt that what the nanny said made a lot of sense.

Then he smiled and looked at the nanny and said:

"I understand what you mean, Mammy."

"Go prepare some food now, and I'll send it to Empress Duan later."

"Oh." Seeing that the Fourth Prince had regained his previous happiness, the nanny quickly responded with a smile.

Taohuawu.

"My lady, just now I went to deliver something to Concubine Shu according to your instructions."

"On my way back, I happened to pass by Concubine Duan's palace and saw the Fourth Prince and his nanny going in."

"Oh?" The queen looked up at Xiuxia, but then lowered her head to look at her belly:

"They are just two people who are not favored. Even if they are combined, how much waves can they stir up?"

There was contempt and disdain in the Queen's tone, and it seemed that she didn't take Concubine Duan and the Fourth Prince seriously at all.

"That's what the Queen said."

Xiu Xia couldn't help but remind him:

"But the Fourth Prince is, after all..."

"So what if he's the emperor's son?"

The Queen looked at Xiu Xia with dissatisfaction:

"If the emperor really cared about his son, the Fourth Prince, he would not have kept him in the Old Summer Palace since he was born."

"Hey."

The Queen said, and sighed deeply:

"To put it bluntly, the Fourth Prince was delayed by his biological mother, Li Jingui."

She seemed to be feeling sorry for the Fourth Prince, but in fact her eyes were full of smiles.

Fortunately, the Fourth Prince’s biological mother was not of high status, otherwise she would have had a real headache!

The Fourth Prince's proactive greetings rekindled hope in Concubine Duan's heart.

Because of the lesson from Wen Yi, she felt that she must strike first this time.

So I thought about mentioning this matter to the emperor as soon as possible.

After thinking for a long time in her heart, she looked at Jixiang and said:

"Jixiang, put some more powder on my face. I want it to look whiter than usual, but not too white."

"It's the lady."

After a while, Concubine Duan looked at her weak self in the mirror and a sneer appeared on her lips.

Qinzheng Hall.

"Ahem, I pay my respects to His Majesty."

"Didn't I tell you not to greet me? Come on, sit down."

When the emperor looked at Concubine Duan's frail appearance, he felt a surge of guilt in his heart.

He quickly waved his hand to signal Concubine Duan to sit down.

But Concubine Duan did not listen to the emperor. Instead, her legs went soft and she knelt down in front of the emperor.

This was the first time the Emperor had seen Concubine Duan like this in all these years. He tightened his hands as he twisted his Buddhist beads:

"Concubine Duan, what are you doing? If you have anything to say, please stand up and speak slowly!"

Hearing the emperor's concerned words, Concubine Duan's eyes immediately turned red. She knelt on the ground, hunched over:

"Your Majesty, please allow me to finish speaking these words on my knees."

"Look at your current body, how can I withstand this kind of torture!"

"Ahem... Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty, but if I don't kneel down and say this, I'm afraid I'll be uneasy in the future..."

Seeing that Concubine Duan was determined to do so and had no intention of getting up, the emperor did not force her:

"Forget it, forget it. If you have anything to say, just say it now!"

Concubine Duan had tears in her eyes and looked at the emperor pitifully:

"I would like to ask the Emperor to let the Fourth Prince be raised by me, ahem."

Concubine Duan was kneeling on the ground, her body trembling, but she still forced herself to stay upright.

"You know I hate it most when someone mentions the Fourth Prince in front of me!"

"I know, ahem."

Concubine Duan covered her mouth with a handkerchief and began to cough softly:

"It is precisely because I know this that I insist on kneeling down and speaking... finishing these words."

The emperor couldn't bear to see Concubine Duan was in so much pain that she could hardly breathe.

But when the emperor heard that it was about the Fourth Prince, he became upset.

When he mentioned the Fourth Prince, he recalled how he was once reprimanded by the late Emperor for favoring Li Jingui while drunk.

So he sat on the upper seat with a gloomy face, no longer looking at Concubine Duan's pale face.

Concubine Duan knew that this would make the emperor unhappy, but she still wanted to say it.

She has endured for so many years, and now that she has finally got the chance, she will of course give it her all.

Thinking of this, Concubine Duan looked at the emperor with tears in her eyes:

"Your Majesty, you also know that I have always wanted a child of my own, ahem..."

"It's just that I am unlucky. Ever since Concubine Hua drank that bowl of safflower, I have lost my ability to bear children forever."

"I don't blame anyone in this matter."

"I only blame myself for not having the good fortune to give birth to a child for Your Majesty, ahem."

As she spoke, tears quietly slid down her cheeks:

"It's just that I'm already in my twilight years, and I don't want to live my life with this regret."

"In my life, I have never asked the emperor for anything."

"This time, please, Your Majesty, grant my humble request."

After saying this, Concubine Duan kowtowed deeply to the emperor.

Concubine Duan's words made the emperor feel sympathetic.

The emperor thought, if he had not used Concubine Duan to attack Concubine Hua.

Concubine Duan would not have ended up suffering from illness all day long!
