Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Zhen Huan

Chapter 296: Prelude to Emin's Downfall

After the ointment incident, the emperor began to have some doubts about the queen.

So when Zhen Huan vomited, the Queen pretended to care for her, but was stopped by the Emperor:

"Queen, I am all that is needed here. It is getting late. You should go back and rest early."

The emperor's tone was extremely cold when he spoke, and he didn't even bother to look at her.

The queen knew what was going on, so when she heard what the emperor said, she had no choice but to leave in disappointment.

When Zhen Huan and An Lingrong saw this scene, they were naturally very satisfied.

A thousand-mile long dam can be breached by a single ant hole. What they want is to plant the seeds of suspicion towards the Queen in the Emperor's heart little by little.

Before, the Queen Mother was there, so even if the Emperor was dissatisfied with the Queen, he would still tolerate her for the Queen Mother's sake.

Now that the Queen Mother is gone, many things have become relatively easier to do.

After making sure that Zhen Huan was fine, An Lingrong also stood up and said goodbye.

"Huanhuan, after what happened today, I am really worried about you and the baby in your belly."

The emperor held Zhen Huan's hand and spoke gently.

Seeing the emperor's concern for her, Zhen Huan felt very relieved:

"Silang, Huanhuan is not afraid."

As she spoke, she looked at the emperor with a sweet smile on her face:

"Because Huanhuan knows that no matter what happens, Silang will protect Huanhuan and the child."

"Hanhuan, your words always touch my heart and always make me feel comfortable."

"If it were someone else, I don't know how they would cry and make a fuss, asking me to seek justice for her!"

Zhen Huan looked at the emperor without saying anything, just smiled sweetly.

She knew very well that crying was the worst way to get any favor in front of the emperor!

Crying might solve the problem once or twice, but after a long time, the emperor would inevitably get bored.

The most effective way is to retreat in order to advance, so that the emperor will have a desire to protect her and take the initiative to speak up for her.

After all, as long as the emperor wants to deal with someone, there is nothing he can't do!

Similarly, if he doesn't want to do something, it will be useless even if you cry to death in front of him!

After living a new life, Zhen Huan still has these senses of propriety in her heart.

At this time, the emperor's voice continued to ring in my ears:

"Huanhuan, you have always been so considerate."

"But I cannot tolerate such a vicious person in the palace. I will investigate the ointment matter thoroughly."

Zhen Huan did not feel very happy when she heard the emperor say this.

Because she knew very well that even if the emperor had doubts about the queen, he would not openly make things difficult for her without solid evidence.

Sometimes, many of the emperor's words are just said to give people a way out.

Thinking of this, Zhen Huan looked at the emperor and said with a smile:

"Silang, Judge Zhang is dead now. If Silang wants to conduct a thorough investigation, the people in the palace will inevitably be in a panic."

"Moreover, Judge Zhang used to be trusted by the Queen. If this matter is investigated further, it will inevitably affect the Queen's reputation."

"I think it's better to keep this matter quiet."

"However, Your Majesty should go and comfort Sister An more."

Zhen Huan's words gave the emperor a reason not to investigate further.

He also specifically mentioned the master-servant relationship between the Queen and Zhang Mi, which increased the Emperor's suspicion of the Queen.

In addition, her non-competitive attitude made the emperor value her even more.

After returning to Jingren Palace, the Queen felt more and more that Zhen Huan could not be kept, so she wrote another letter urging Guaerjia Emin to report Zhen Yuandao as soon as possible.

After the morning court session the next day, E Min stayed alone, saying that he had something to meet the emperor in private.

Since Zhen Yuandao brought Boss Li to inform the emperor of the matter early in the morning, the emperor already had an idea of ​​the situation.

The reason why the emperor did not punish E Min immediately was that he just wanted to see what he would do next.

After Emin explained what he wanted to report, the emperor looked at Emin with a serious expression and asked:

"You said that Zhen Yuandao collected Qian Mingshi's "Anthology of Ancient Fragrance Poems"?"

"Yes." E Min lowered his eyelids and said sincerely:

I also saw it at Lord Zhen’s house.”

"I originally wanted to bring it here for His Majesty to see, but Master Zhen treasures it so much."

"I know that Qian Ming is a traitor in the world, so the collection of poems he wrote must be a collection of extremely disrespectful poems."

The emperor twirled the jade Buddhist beads in his hand, and his eyes became more and more intense as he looked at E Min.

He asked tentatively:

"Then how did Zhen Yuandao get the book? Can it be bought on Qipan Street?"

E Min tried his best to make his voice sound natural:

"This collection of poems has not been published. I'm afraid only close friends of Qian Mingshi can get it..."

"A close friend?"

Before Emin could finish, the emperor asked sternly with a sullen face:

"According to what you said, other than close friends, no one else can get it?"

"In my opinion, this is the case."

E Min said without thinking:

"After all, apart from close friends, I'm sure Qian Mingshi wouldn't dare to take such a big risk by making such outrageous remarks..."

The emperor looked at Emin quietly for a moment without saying anything.

Emin felt the pressure from the emperor, and his heart was filled with cold sweat.

The emperor felt extremely disgusted when he saw E Min, who was willing to frame his colleagues for the sake of official position.

At this moment, he had already made up his mind.

"Emin, you work with Zhen Yuandao, why did you mention this collection of poems to me?"

"I work with Lord Zhen and we have a good relationship in private, but I am the emperor's favor and I am only repaying his kindness. I dare not think about other personal matters."

"very good!"

The emperor's tone was very calm:

"Emin, you are truly selfless for the court!"

The emperor's words left E Min confused for a moment.

When he was about to bow and say that all this was his duty as a censor.

The emperor asked Su Peisheng to bring two books, a few gold bars and a waist badge, then he looked at E Min and said sternly:

"Emin, why didn't I know before that you are such a cold-blooded and heartless person!"

"Not only did you plot to frame your colleagues, but you also had the audacity to speak these high-sounding words in front of me!"

"If I really believed your words and punished Zhen Yuandao, wouldn't I become a tyrant who only listens to one side and believes the other?"

After saying that, the emperor threw those things in front of E Min.

E Min was caught off guard by the scene before him!

How can it be?

I have been planning for so long and thought it was foolproof. How come these things are in the hands of the emperor now?

Could it be that Boss Li betrayed me?

Impossible! He has received so much money from me, there is no reason for him to betray me!

Besides, given Zhen Yuandao's conservative personality, how could he possibly take precautions in advance?

Calm down! I must calm down!

Thinking of this, E Min knelt on the ground with a plop and kowtowed deeply:

"Your Majesty, I am innocent!"
