Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Zhen Huan

Chapter 536 What Reward Should I Give to Prince Guo

Accompanied by Su Peisheng, several people arrived at the Yangxin Palace with heavy hearts.

After paying his respects, Wen Yi smiled and glanced at Concubine Jing, then opened his arms and ran quickly towards the emperor:

"Father, my daughter is very brave. Are you going to reward her well?"

The emperor glanced at Zhen Huan worriedly, and seeing that she was fine, he smiled and hugged Wen Yi in his arms.

"Wen Yi is very well behaved and capable, so of course the Emperor will reward you."

After saying this, the emperor did not forget to glance at Concubine Jing with an inquiring look.

Logically speaking, after such a great shock, the princess should be afraid. How could she still smile and ask for reward from me?

Concubine Jing saw the doubt in the emperor's eyes, took a step forward and explained:

"It is like this, Your Majesty. Before I went to see Your Majesty, I was afraid that the princess would be frightened, so I told her that this was a program specially arranged by Your Majesty for New Year's Eve."

"If the princess can show some courage, the emperor will be very happy and give her a reward. When the princess heard this, she believed it!"

As Concubine Jing spoke, she looked at Wen Yi with eyes full of doting. It seemed that she truly loved Wen Yi to the core.

Seeing this, Zhen Huan couldn't help but miss her three children even more.

It had only been a short time since he left, but she felt as if several lifetimes had passed.

Perhaps only after experiencing separation and death will people cherish the time spent with their family.

When Wen Yi heard Concubine Jing say this, she loosened her hand that was holding the emperor's sleeve, pursed her lips, and said in a baby voice:

"It turns out that mother was just trying to coax her daughter!"

"My daughter was just thinking, if it was really someone arranged by the Emperor, how could he bear to let Empress Xi get cut by a knife?"

When the emperor heard this, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes:

"Hanhuan, are you hurt?"

"Where are you hurt? Let me see!"

The emperor saw Wen Yi running towards him just now, and he looked at Zhen Huan, but did not see any injuries.

He had originally thought that after he had comforted Wen Yi and dealt with these matters, he would wait until late at night when it was quiet and only the two of them were left, and then he would comfort Zhen Huan carefully.

Now, when he suddenly heard Wen Yi say this, his usually calm heart became really confused.

His dissatisfaction with Prince Guo became even stronger.

Zhen Huan saw that the emperor was really worried, and said with a smile:

"Your Majesty, I was only cut on the neck by the sharp blade in Ye's hand. The wound is not deep and will not cause any trouble."

The emperor put Wen Yi down from his arms, smiled and promised her that he would send someone to deliver her reward to Xianfu Palace tomorrow.

Wen Yi was only a few years old, and had a childish nature. He immediately clapped his hands with joy.

Afterwards, she did not forget to bow to the emperor and express her gratitude.

It looks so well behaved that it's hard not to like it.

Concubine Jing knew that the emperor had something important to discuss next and it was not appropriate for Wen Yi to be present, so she smiled and waved at her.

When Wen Yi heard her mother calling her, she turned around and gave the emperor a bright smile, then opened her arms and ran towards Concubine Jing.

Concubine Jing gently stroked her little head, squatted down, and said softly:

"Wen Yi, it's getting late. Your father still has something to tell you, and your mother won't be back for a while. Can you let Nanny take you to bed first?"

Wen Yi shook his head first, then nodded:

"Yes, mother." After such a busy day, she was really tired.

After Wen Yi left, the emperor carefully checked the wound on Zhen Huan's neck. Seeing that the wound was not deep, he felt relieved.

His eyes fell on Prince Guo.

"Seventeenth brother, you have successfully rescued Concubine Xi and the princess this time, and your contribution is not small."

"I have to think carefully about how to reward you!"

Only then did Zhen Huan notice the pair of bottomless eyes hidden under the emperor's thick eyelashes.

Those were a pair of wise, dark eyes that were difficult for others to detect.

Prince Guo hurried forward and saluted:

"These are what I should do. My Royal Highness, are you alienating me by saying this?"

"Having said that, merit is merit!"

"I have always been clear about rewards and punishments. Merits should be rewarded, and crimes should be punished. We cannot mess up this system of rewards and punishments just because of our brotherhood."

"Seventeenth brother, you certainly won't say anything, but if it gets out, I will inevitably be known as someone who doesn't distinguish between public and private matters and doesn't know how to reward or punish!"

The emperor's voice was as calm as ever, but it carried an unquestionable pressure on Prince Guo.

Zhen Huan knew that the Emperor's words "merits should be rewarded, crimes should be punished" were actually a reminder to Prince Guo.

Let him never forget his duties as a subject.

First they are ruler and subject, then they are brothers.

If anyone has thoughts that shouldn't be had, even if it's about his brothers, the emperor will punish them.

From this we can see that although the emperor is suspicious of Prince Guo, he still hopes that he can turn back from his wrong path.

How could Prince Guo not understand the intimidation in the emperor's words?

But he thought that the emperor had always been like this, and would show his supreme imperial power from time to time no matter to whom.

After hearing this so many times, Prince Guo naturally would not think about himself, but just felt that this was what monarchs of every dynasty would do.

Besides, he always thought that he behaved very well in front of the emperor.

Over the years, no matter how suspicious the emperor was, he never suspected him.

After pondering it over and over again in his mind, Prince Guo stopped thinking about it.

He just raised his hands and said humbly to the emperor:

"Your Majesty, what you said is absolutely right. It is my fault for not thinking it through."

The emperor caught a glimpse of Hongmei standing beside him from the corner of his eye, and she was casting ambiguous glances at Prince Guo from time to time.

The reason why it is said to be "unclear" is because the emperor has never seen anyone else look at him with such eyes.

There were so many emotions in those eyes, like love, admiration, and worry...

In short, it is not very innocent.

The emperor felt very upset for a moment:

Why am I inferior to my Seventeenth Brother? Why do you all admire him?

I really want to capture all the women in the world who adore my Seventeenth Brother, and lock them up in jail, to be bitten by rats and crawled by cockroaches!

Look at you all, do you still dare to like him so openly?

The usually calm and composed emperor was a little upset at this moment.

He did not do it for Hongmei, but because he was not as charismatic as Prince Guo!

What a shame! What a shame!

Am I not just a little older than my seventeenth brother?

Apart from this, how am I inferior to him?

Zhen Huan noticed that the emperor was acting strangely and coughed lightly as a reminder.

The emperor raised his eyes and looked at Zhen Huan, and then he felt a little better:

Fortunately, Huanhuan only has me in her heart!

Thinking this in his heart, the emperor looked at Zhen Huan with more affection:

"Xi Fei, you are the person involved in this matter. What kind of reward do you think I should give to my Seventeenth Brother?"
