Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Zhen Huan

"This will make me feel at ease."

After talking about Liu Zhu, Zhen Huan changed the topic to what she had just said:

"Doctor Wen, go back and prepare for what I just told you."

"In a few days, I will find a way to get the hair of two people so that you can compare them."

"It's the lady."

Seeing Zhen Huan's serious expression, Wen Shichu regained his usual calmness and bowed to Zhen Huan, saying:

"I will prepare the necessary potions in advance privately. When your Majesty arrives, you only need to inform me."

Zhen Huan nodded, said a few more words to show her concern for Liu Zhu, and then let Wen Shichu leave.

About two hours later, Jinxi returned to the palace from Prince Guo's mansion.

When Zhen Huan saw Jin Xi coming back, she didn't care about the book she was reading and asked first:

"How is it? Did you find anything different in Prince Guo's mansion?"

"Have you talked to Yujiao?"

Jin Xi then leaned towards Zhen Huan and said softly:

"When I went there, I saw Concubine Meng with a baby in her arms. People in the palace said that she gave birth to a daughter this time."

"daughter?"

This inevitably reminded Zhen Huan of the crying sound that she and Concubine Hua heard at the door today.

Concubine Hua said it was a girl's voice at the time, and Zhen Huan thought so too.

But when the child was taken out, they had to admit that they had heard it wrong.

But Meng Jingxian gave birth to a girl, which made Zhen Huan even more certain of her thoughts.

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

"It's a female fetus, but... there is one thing that I am very curious about."

"Oh?" Zhen Huan looked at Jin Xi, waiting for her to continue.

Jinxi continued with what she had just said:

"No matter what, Concubine Meng giving birth is a happy event, but I noticed that Concubine Meng's eyes showed obvious signs of crying."

"Moreover, there was no smile in her eyes when she looked at the child."

"Not only is he very cold, but his eyes are often erratic, and he looks like he has lost his soul."

Zhen Huan listened and thought seriously. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that her guess was correct.

If they were really her biological children, why would Concubine Meng be so cold?

If she is really his biological daughter, where does Concubine Meng's frustration come from?

Zhen Huan thought, logically speaking, Prince Guo should not do these things in front of Yu Jiao...

What about Yujiao?

If Yujiao had witnessed all this happening with her own eyes, she would have found a way to pass the message to me no matter what, and would definitely not wait for me to send Jinxi. She has not yet figured out the trick hidden in it.

But what happened to Yujiao?

Thinking this in her mind, Zhen Huan was ready to ask Jin Xi the reason.

Jin Xi was like a worm in her heart. Before she could ask, she spoke out:

"Also... Miss Yujiao has been feeling unwell today for some reason, and her head is still dizzy."

"So, Prince Guo is in charge of all the affairs in the mansion today, and Lady Yu has been resting in her room."

Zhen Huan's intuition told her that Yujiao's illness at this time must be serious.

Maybe someone did something to her, which caused her to become sick, in order to divert Yujiao's attention from the matter.

"Why would Yujiao be sick for no reason?"

As her thoughts turned back, Zhen Huan looked at Jin Xi and asked:

"Jinxi, do you see anything unusual in Prince Guo's expression?"

Hearing Zhen Huan's words, Jin Xi's eyebrows turned, and she thought about the scene at Prince Guo's mansion today:

"Prince Guo seems very happy. Other than that, I didn't notice anything unusual."

"Then have you asked Yujiao what she ate today?"

Jin Xi nodded:

"I have asked."

"Fujin Yu said that she was fine when she got up this morning, but when Concubine Meng was about to give birth, Prince Guo called her into the room to drink a cup of tea and gave her some instructions."

"After that, she went out to arrange matters related to Concubine Meng's delivery. It was at that time that she felt dizzy and suddenly passed out..."

"When I left, Concubine Meng was still lying on the couch. The palace doctor said that Concubine Meng was worried too much recently."

"What do you mean by worrying too much!"

Zhen Huan slammed the table heavily, her eyes full of anger:

"From my point of view, he clearly didn't want Yujiao to see the treasonous things he did, so he deliberately made Yujiao faint."

"Your Highness, are you suspicious of Lady Yu's illness?"

"I was suspicious at first, but now I am certain that Yujiao's illness is closely related to Prince Guo."

"On the surface, he trusts Yujiao very much, but in reality, he is always on guard against Yujiao..."

"But I must find out about the matter of the child!"

Since the two children were born on the same day, Zhen Huan thought that she might as well give Prince Guo and Hongmei a surprise at the children's full-month ceremony.

Thinking of this, Zhen Huan felt that she and her sisters should get together to discuss this matter.

So, after the emperor turned over Hongmei's card, she decisively asked Xiao Yunzi and Jinxi to go to Yiku Palace, Yanxi Palace, Xianfu Palace and Zhongcui Palace respectively to pass on the message, while Pei'er went to the side hall to call Chun'er over.

As soon as Chun'er heard Zhen Huan calling her, she ran in happily.

But when she saw the solemn expression on Zhen Huan's face, she immediately put away her smile:

"Sister Huan, is there anything wrong? Chun'er has never seen you so serious..."

Because she was thinking too seriously, Zhen Huan didn't come back to her senses until she heard Chun'er's voice. She looked at Chun'er and smiled:

"It is indeed a serious matter, but Chun'er..."

Zhen Huan paused, then took Chun Er's hand to comfort her:

"You don't have to worry too much, it will be over soon."

"Sister Hua Fei, Sister Mei, Sister An, Sister Yu, and Sister Jing Fei will all be here in a little while."

"There is strength in numbers. We are not afraid of anything."

Chun Er blinked her big watery eyes, looked at Zhen Huan and nodded:

"Well, Sister Huan, Chun'er believes what you say."

"As long as Sister Huan says it's okay, then it will be okay."

Looking at Chun'er's innocent and simple appearance, the gloom in Zhen Huan's heart was swept away.

While chatting with Chun'er, she smiled and invited Chun'er to have some snacks.

Not long after, Concubine Hua, Shen Meizhuang and others arrived one after another.

After the tea was served, they all sent the servants away.

And they were told not to let anyone in without permission.

After the palace door was closed, Concubine Hua looked at everyone who should have arrived and thought that there must be important matters to discuss.

So, she took the lead in breaking the silence and asked:

"Sister Huan, you called us sisters here at this time, there must be something important to say. There is no outsider here anyway, so just tell us quickly!"

The others also nodded in agreement, and all looked towards Zhen Huan.

Seeing that everyone was so united, Zhen Huan stopped dragging her feet and told them all her suspicions.

"What? How dare Prince Guo? Isn't he afraid of the Emperor..."

Before Shen Meizhuang could finish her words, she covered her mouth with a handkerchief in surprise.

Hua Fei then said:

"No wonder the maid's face changed color today when she saw Songzhi approaching her!"

"If it were me, I would have to change too!"

"Sister Huan, what are we waiting for?"

Yu Ying'er was shocked. She twisted the handkerchief in her hand and looked at Zhen Huan and said:

"Why don't we just tell the emperor about this and ask him to make the decision!"

"I think if the emperor knew about this, he would not let it go easily!"

"No!"

An Lingrong did not quite agree with Yu Ying'er's statement:

"Didn't Sister Huan say that, although she is 90% sure at the moment, she believes that Prince Guo has the potential to confuse the heir to the throne."

"But to be on the safe side, we still have to wait until we get the hair and let Doctor Wen compare it with the emperor before making any plans."

"Otherwise, wouldn't it be easy for someone to take advantage of it?"

Listening to the opinions expressed by several people, Chun'er took a sip of the milk tea and said seriously:

"I think what Sister An said makes sense. This is a serious matter, so it's always right to be cautious."

"We can't act rashly before we are absolutely sure. Otherwise, even if we are proactive, we will become passive."

At this time, Concubine Jing, who had been sitting quietly thinking, continued Chun'er's words and said:

"What the sisters said makes sense, but these... I think the Imperial Concubine sister must have thought it through before inviting us here."

"Right now, sister Noble Concubine, are you worried about how to tell the Emperor about this so that it doesn't seem so deliberate?"

Zhen Huan nodded. Concubine Jing was indeed a king who made it to the end by relying on her brain. Not only was her thinking clear, but her words were also sharp and to the point:

"I think everyone knows what kind of person our emperor is."

"If this matter is not handled well, and the emperor has doubts in his heart, after the emperor has dealt with Prince Guo, Yu'er and I may be the next ones to be dealt with."

Seeing the worry flashing in Zhen Huan's eyes, An Lingrong said:

"If that's the case, the person who reported it must not be my sister..."

As An Lingrong spoke, she thought quickly in her mind, then she looked at Zhen Huan and said:

"Could it be me?"

Zhen Huan raised her eyes to meet An Lingrong's gaze:

"What's the essential difference between you reporting and me reporting?"

"The emperor is not unaware of our friendship, and we will be implicated instead."

Concubine Jing thought for a moment, looked at Zhen Huan and said meaningfully:

"Since it can't be us, can it be someone close to the emperor?"

Someone around the emperor?

After Concubine Jing's reminder, Zhen Huan actually remembered someone to come with - Xia Qian!

Xia Qie does have some skills.

In the previous life, if Ye Lan'yi had not discovered it in time, after Zhen Huan knew about it, she would have decisively asked Xiao Yunzi to take people to deal with Xia Ke, and the consequences would have been disastrous.

Thinking of this, Zhen Huan felt a creepy feeling.

Since Xia Kan is so capable and loyal to the emperor, Zhen Huan thought that she might as well meet Xia Kan in private, tell him about this, and let him find evidence to report the matter to the emperor.

But Xia Jian only obeyed the emperor. If she told Xia Jian about this, and Xia Jian told the emperor, wouldn't that implicate her again...

At this time, another person's shadow flashed before Zhen Huan's eyes:

Su Peisheng!

This matter can be told to Xia Qi through Su Peisheng!

Su Peisheng is an elder who serves the emperor. In many cases, his attitude also represents the emperor's attitude. If Su Peisheng comes forward, Xia Qian will not suspect anything.

After thinking about it, Zhen Huan felt that this idea was feasible, so she smiled and looked at Concubine Jing and said:

"Thank you, Sister Jingfei, for reminding me. I have already made a plan for this matter."

"At the full moon banquet in a month, there will be a great show in the palace, so let's wait and see!"

Afterwards, Zhen Huan shared her idea with her sisters, and they all thought it was feasible.

While everyone was happy, Chun Er also put forward her own opinion:

"Before anything happens, the emperor must be made aware of the problem in advance. Once it is confirmed, the emperor will be even more angry."

"Then what does Chun'er want to do?" Zhen Huan asked with a smile.

Chun Er propped her chin up with her hand and thought seriously:

"Tomorrow Chun'er will go to Suiyuxuan to visit Meipin and Prince Hongsheng. Sister Huan will only need to take the emperor with her, and leave the rest to Chun'er."

"The Emperor always thinks Chun'er is a child, so he is always willing to believe Chun'er's words a little more."

The more Chun'er said this, the more curious they became.

Afterwards, Chun'er couldn't stand their questioning and spoke out her thoughts.

"Okay, Chun'er, if you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known that you had learned such bad things!"

As she spoke, An Lingrong walked over to Chun'er with a smile and started tickling her.

Zhen Huan looked at the two people playing together, and the smile on her face became more intense:

"This is good. Plant a seed of doubt in the emperor's heart in advance. Then when the incident happens, the emperor will be even more angry because he was deceived when he thinks back."

Several people also expressed their agreement.

After the matter was settled, the sisters talked for a long time before returning to the palace with a sense of unfulfilled desire.

While walking on the road, Concubine Jing looked at Shen Meizhuang and said:

"Sister, why do I feel like these days...are becoming more and more hopeful!"

“It’s good to have hope!”

As she spoke, Shen Meizhuang suddenly recalled a classic quote that Concubine Jing had said to her:

"There are a total of 326 bricks and stones in my palace, but I have touched each of them countless times, and 31 of them have already developed tiny cracks..."

When Shen Meizhuang heard this for the first time, she felt very sad.

It is said that the harem is lonely, but how lonely must one be to spend one's days caressing bricks and stones over and over again?

From this we can see how lonely and sad the lives of the neglected concubines in the palace were!

Thinking of this, Shen Meizhuang smiled and joked with Concubine Jing:

"It's good to have hope. If you have hope, Sister Jingfei, you won't have to count red bricks every day!"

"We sisters will keep each other warm in the future, and we won't have to count bricks to make a living. Isn't life getting more and more promising?"
