Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Zhen Huan

Chapter 546 Concubine Duan pretends to be friendly

"I once blamed all the mistakes on you because I couldn't think clearly at the time."

"Now that I think about it carefully, I was the one who made the mistake first. It's understandable that you hate me, sister."

"But it's better to resolve a feud than to create one, especially with my current body... cough cough... I don't know how many days I have left to live. I really don't want to leave with this regret..."

There was another violent coughing. The emperor felt a little guilty when he saw her like this:

"Concubine Duan, why are you saying these things for no reason?"

"emperor……"

Concubine Duan's voice became weaker and weaker, and even her body began to shake:

"I have done wrong things because of the resentment in my heart, and I really don't want to make the same mistake again."

"I have wanted to say these words for a long time, but I was afraid that Sister Hua Fei would be angry and unwilling to forgive me, so I delayed it until today."

As she spoke, Concubine Duan bowed deeply to Concubine Hua:

"Sister Hua Fei, please forgive me and stop holding a grudge against me."

Although Concubine Duan said this, she actually wished she could tear Concubine Hua into pieces.

She felt humiliated and her eyes turned red as she lay on the ground.

It seems like he is asking for peace, but in fact he is just bringing up the past over and over again to hurt Concubine Hua's heart.

Only when Concubine Hua was unhappy would she feel a little happier.

The emperor's expression turned gloomy. No one knew what had happened this year that made people feel uneasy for two days in a row?

I had finally worked out my misunderstanding with Concubine Hua, but now Concubine Duan is bringing it up again!

It would be better if I didn't mention it. When I mention it, it makes me feel like a knife is cutting my heart!

Concubine Duan, you are not feeling well, so can't you stay in Yanqing Palace and move around less?

Alas, who can I blame for this? It was I who ordered her to come out.

If it really doesn't work, I will ask Su Peisheng to issue an order later to let her take good care of her illness and not come out to pay her respects.

The more the emperor thought about it, the more unhappy he became, and any trace of guilt he had felt towards Concubine Duan disappeared completely.

He just hoped that Concubine Duan would shut up.

How to forgive the murder of a son?

If you hadn't taken on this task in the first place, I might have regretted not giving the medicine to Shilan.

In order to avoid feeling too bad, the emperor chose to put all the blame on Concubine Duan.

Since you have enjoyed the benefits of "double" medicine, you have to bear the corresponding consequences.

Thinking of this, the emperor felt much more relieved.

"Princess Duan, what are you doing?"

As my thoughts turned back, Concubine Hua's voice rang in my ears:

"You are now my concubine, how can I accept such a great gift from you?"

"Besides, I don't remember anything you said, so there's no question of forgiveness."

"Ahem... Sister, you don't forgive me?" Concubine Duan asked Concubine Hua while kneeling on the ground.

"Don't you understand what I said? Then I'll say it again!"

Concubine Hua tried her best to suppress the anger that Concubine Duan had provoked in her:

"I am old now, and my memory is not very good. I can't remember what happened, let alone the deep sisterly love between Concubine Duan and me, let alone the so-called hurt."

"I just remember that you and I are both the emperor's concubines, and we should fulfill our duties as concubines."

"If you want to be close to me, you can be close to me. I will not stop you. I will treat you like other sisters in the harem. But please! Never mention the past in front of me again."

Hua Fei's words were so powerful that even the Emperor gave her an admiring look.

The concubines were also secretly embarrassed for Concubine Duan.

It's been so many years, why bring it up again?

Was it to embarrass the Emperor? Or was it to displease Concubine Hua?

"Okay, Concubine Duan."

The emperor turned his head slightly and saw Concubine Hua's chest rising and falling, and felt a little distressed:

"What Hua Fei said is also true. It's all in the past. Why bother to bring it up again? Life should be looking forward, not backward."

"Get up."

Concubine Duan could hardly believe her ears. When she looked at the emperor again, her eyes were filled with tears.

She sneered at herself in her heart:

Things of the past? Oh, things of the past?

What is in the past for you has caused me lifelong pain!

You can all start over, but I am the only one who is immersed in the past day after day and cannot extricate myself.

I kneel before you in such a humble way today, begging you all, but you all turn a blind eye and treat me like nothing...

I only blame myself for being too stupid before, thinking Your Majesty, you would...

Haha, never again, never again begging for even the slightest mercy from you.

At this time, Zhen Huan also completely understood the intention of Concubine Duan's action.

She deliberately begged for peace with Concubine Hua in a humble manner in front of the Emperor and the concubines, with the aim of winning the Emperor's sympathy and stimulating Concubine Hua at the same time.

She knew very well that Concubine Hua had an impatient temper and her panic would inevitably affect the fetus.

For one thing, if things went on like this for a long time, even if she didn't do anything, Concubine Hua's child might not be saved.

Secondly, she thought that the emperor would feel pity for her because of her illness and dispel his suspicion of her. Only in this way, when she attacked Concubine Hua in the future, the emperor would not be the first to suspect her.

This tactic of retreating to advance is really brilliant!

If the Emperor is still as wary of the Nian family and Concubine Hua as he was before, he will most likely stand on the side of Concubine Duan.

But the situation now is very different from the past.

The emperor saw the grievances and changes that Concubine Hua had suffered during this period, and it hurt his heart.

The guilt she felt towards Concubine Duan diminished, but her debt to Concubine Hua reached its peak, so it was no longer possible for Concubine Duan to use this trick again.

But Zhen Huan knew very well how terrible a woman's hatred was. Concubine Duan must have hated Concubine Hua and even the Emperor.

"The Lantern Festival is in half a month. I didn't have a good New Year's Eve this year, so I plan to make up for it on the Lantern Festival. The new year brings a new atmosphere, so we must have a good time."

"I am also worried that the Ministry of Internal Affairs will be too busy to handle it for the time being, so I decided to postpone the promotion ceremony for Concubine Xi to next month."

After saying this, the emperor gave Hua Fei a few more instructions and was about to get up and leave, but he saw Su Peisheng bowing and walking towards him quickly:

"Your Majesty, there is some clue as to the death of the guard at Chunxi Palace..."

The emperor put away his smile and said, "Speak!"

Su Peisheng lowered his head and said:

"This morning I sent someone to investigate this matter, and suddenly I heard a palace servant from the Ministry of Internal Affairs come to report that a female eunuch named Xiao Weizi had died."

"I immediately took people to check and found that he had taken poison. I also found this next to him..."

Everyone looked in the direction of Su Peisheng's hand and found several lines of words densely written on the paper.
