Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Zhen Huan

"I pay my respects to His Majesty and Concubine Xi."

As soon as Hongmei entered the palace, she put on a gentle and lovely look and greeted the emperor and Zhen Huan.

The emperor twisted the green beads in his hand for a long time before he slowly spoke:

"Get up."

Hongmei heard the coldness in the emperor's tone. When she stood up, she quickly glanced around the palace and her gaze finally fell on the sandalwood comb.

She was completely unprepared and unconsciously clenched the handkerchief in her hand.

The emperor looked up at her face which was almost identical to Chun Yuan's. For some reason, he felt a hint of disgust in his heart, thinking that she was not worthy of Chun Yuan's pure face.

"Lady Mei, do you recognize that comb?"

The emperor asked, casually pointing at the comb placed on the table beside him.

Hongmei was panicking in her heart, but she appeared unusually calm on the surface:

"I remember this was the gift I gave to Miss Yujiao a few days ago to express my gratitude to Miss Yujiao and the prince..."

"Then I don't understand. Do you want to wish that my Seventeenth Brother will never have a legitimate son, or do you want to wish that Yujiao will never give birth to a child?"

After saying that, the emperor angrily grabbed the comb on the table and threw it hard in front of Hongmei.

Seeing this, Zhen Huan also shed a few tears.

Hongmei naturally knew why the emperor was angry, but after some psychological preparation, she quickly thought of a way to deal with it.

It is true that I gave the comb as a gift, but with so many people handling it, who knows who tampered with it?

Even Concubine Xi herself touched this comb. Who says she didn't make it on purpose to frame me?

Even if the emperor is suspicious, what can he do to me without solid evidence?

Thinking of this, Hongmei knelt down in front of the emperor and said innocently:

"I dare not. How dare I curse the prince!"

"You don't dare to curse my Seventeenth Brother!"

The emperor looked at Hongmei and said seriously:

"But you dare to curse Concubine Xi's sister, the second young lady of the Niuhulu family!"

In anger, the emperor raised his hand and slammed the table hard.

Hongmei kowtowed to the emperor and said:

"I dare not. Not to mention that Concubine Xi is usually very kind to others and has no grudges against me. Even if there were, I would not dare to openly tamper with the gift given to the Second Miss!"

"All things sent and received in the palace have always been registered. Even if I am stupid, I will never give away questionable things in my own name."

"If something goes wrong, I won't be able to harm anyone, and I will be caught red-handed."

"Moreover, this item has been handled by many people. I don't know if someone deliberately tampered with it in order to frame me..."

"I hope Your Majesty will look into this matter and give me justice."

After saying this, Hongmei did not forget to look at Zhen Huan meaningfully.

That expression seemed to be telling the emperor that the person who deliberately framed her was Zhen Huan!

The emperor also noticed Hongmei's expression and turned to look at Zhen Huan.

Zhen Huan knew from the beginning that Concubine Mei was no simple person, but she didn't expect that she would come up with a way to deal with it so quickly.

She also wanted the emperor to suspect her...

Zhen Huan thought: If you can still make the emperor suspicious of me in front of me, then I will have lived this life in vain!

In that case, let’s see who has the better move!

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

"Your Majesty, I think what Concubine Mei said makes sense."

"Let alone the fact that Concubine Mei and Ye promised to do their best for the wedding banquet of the prince and Yujiao, Concubine Mei would never do such a despicable thing just for the sake of the relationship between the emperor and the prince."

If Zhen Huan hadn't said this, the Emperor would really be suspicious again, wondering if Zhen Huan had done this on purpose?

But when Zhen Huan said this, the emperor heard something else:

It's fine if you do it for my sake, but how can you do it for your seventeenth brother's sake?

Could it be that this Concubine Mei is just like Ye Da Ying and treats her Seventeenth Brother... ?

The more the emperor thought about it, the angrier he became. Apart from age, how could I be inferior to my Seventeenth Brother? I am not worthy of all of you...

Once this doubt arose in his mind, the emperor made up his mind to send someone to investigate the background of Hongmei and Ye Lanyi.

But in this way, the matter at hand became a matter of course:

Mei Guiren wanted to harm Yujiao because she had feelings for my Seventeenth Brother, and because Huanhuan was playful, I happened to know about this...

The emperor was thinking about this silently in his mind. When he looked at Hongmei again, a hint of anger flashed in his eyes:

"Even if it's true as you said, you can't escape the guilt of negligence in this matter, because your negligence almost hurt Concubine Xi's body. If it hadn't been discovered early, Concubine Xi would probably have difficulty getting pregnant in the future."

"If this causes Fu Jin Yu Zhun's body to be injured again, how can I explain this to my Seventeenth Brother?"

"Therefore... I punish you to hand-copy the palace rules a hundred times and give them to Concubine Hua for review. If she is not satisfied, you can copy them again..."

After saying this, because the emperor had something on his mind, after instructing Zhen Huan to take good care of herself, he took Su Peisheng back to the Yangxin Palace.

As soon as he sat down in the Yangxin Palace, the emperor let out a long sigh, then looked at Su Peisheng and ordered:

"Su Peisheng, go tell Xia Qian to investigate the details of Concubine Mei and Ye Da Ying for me, and see if they are related to... Prince Guo's Mansion."

When the emperor talked about Prince Guo's Mansion, his tone paused and even his brows frowned.

It seems that the emperor still doesn't want such a thing to happen.

Su Peisheng saw that the emperor was in a bad mood and did not dare to say much. After bowing, he took a few steps back and hurriedly turned away.

Because of her relationship with Su Peisheng, Jinxi knew about this a long time ago.

"Your Majesty, I heard from Eunuch Su that the Emperor has used Xia Qian to investigate the details of Concubine Mei and Lady Ye."

Jin Xi spoke cautiously while helping Zhen Huan change her clothes.

After hearing this, Zhen Huan knew that it must be the words she said today that had worked.

But since Prince Guo dared to send people to the palace, he must have made full preparations early on. Zhen Huan thought that Xia Jian might return empty-handed this time.

But at such an important moment, Zhen Huan always felt that it would be a pity if she didn't do something.

After thinking for a moment, Zhen Huan remembered that the spy who had been buried in Ganlu Temple had reported that Prince Guo had brought a woman with eyes and eyebrows very similar to hers to Ganlu Temple to meet Concubine Shu.

In this way, she would not have wronged Prince Guo!

But Zhen Huan thought that it would be more appropriate to ask Concubine Hua to help with this matter.

After all, Nian Gengyao had a large circle and wide network of contacts in Beijing, so it was easy for him to quietly find some people to spread rumors!

In addition, she also asked Concubine Hua to remind Nian Gengyao to be prepared at all times in case of emergency...
