Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Zhen Huan

Zhen Huan looked at Yu Jiao with a heartache, then looked at the emperor and said weakly:

"I have nothing to say..."

"I will leave it to the Emperor to decide..."

"However, I would like to ask the Emperor to be lenient with my father and my family, considering that I have served you for many years."

"Imperial Concubine Xi, although I have doted on you for so many years, I must give an explanation to the court officials and the harem!"

"Zhen Yuandao, you secretly married the daughter of a criminal minister, knowingly breaking the law. I should have exiled you and your family, but I only demoted you from all your current official positions and forbade you to leave the capital because Concubine Xi gave birth to several children for me."

Facing the emperor's decision, Zhen Yuandao was shocked for a moment, but he did not dare to show any dissatisfaction. He could only thank him respectfully:

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."

Yu Rao wanted to say something else, but Zhen's mother immediately pulled her over to kowtow to the emperor and express her gratitude.

After dealing with Zhen Yuandao, the emperor turned his attention to Zhen Huan:

"As for Concubine Xi... Although she was influenced by her mother's family, I have no choice but to punish her..."

"In my opinion, it is no longer appropriate for you to sit in the position of imperial concubine. I have decided to demote you to the position of concubine and confine you to Yongshou Palace for two months."

Upon hearing this, Zhen Huan collapsed to the ground.

But soon, she struggled to get up from the ground and knelt upright:

"Thank you very much, Your Majesty, for your grace. I will obey your order."

The emperor couldn't bear to see Zhen Huan's distraught appearance, so he quickly shifted his gaze away from Zhen Huan and looked at Yu Jiao.

Upon seeing this, Prince Guo knelt down hurriedly and pleaded with Yujiao:

"Brother, Yujiao is truly innocent."

"No one can choose their birth. I ask my royal brother to give Yujiao a lighter punishment for my sake."

The emperor looked at Prince Guo calmly and said:

"I have already said before that as long as Lady Yu tells the truth, I will not embarrass her. You can go back now."

Afterwards, the emperor asked everyone to leave.

Before Zhen Huan left, the Emperor looked at her deeply, and the two of them exchanged glances imperceptibly.

Zhen Huan knew in her heart that this was a trap.

Prince Guo has been looking for an opportunity to take action. The emperor's move is to clear Prince Guo's concerns and give him a chance to take action!

Sure enough, after Prince Guo returned, after comforting Yujiao with a few words, he began to arrange the next steps.

He wanted to strike while the iron was hot and end it all as soon as possible during the period when Concubine Xi was under house arrest.

On the other hand, after learning that Zhen Huan was demoted and under house arrest, Concubine Hua immediately went to the Yangxin Palace to plead for her, but the Emperor was furious and directly demoted Concubine Hua to Concubine Hua.

From then on, no one in the palace dared to plead for Zhen Huan.

Chao Gui's tea party was originally held specifically for Zhen Huan, but now that Zhen Huan is gone, she can only shift her attention to other people who are on good terms with Zhen Huan.

Two days before the tea party, Zhen Huan asked Xiao Yunzi to pass on a message, asking Wen Shichu to bring Miao Tong to Yongshou Palace.

Of course it is Miaotong in disguise.

Afterwards, Zhen Huan asked Wen Shichu to go to the Yangxin Palace to report the news in advance.

After everything was arranged, Zhen Huan asked Miao Tong to disguise herself as Su Peisheng, and quietly came to the Yangxin Palace under the cover of night.

She came to the Yangxin Palace this time to discuss a countermeasure with the emperor.

The emperor initially thought that the disguise technique was just a rumor, but when he saw Zhen Huan, who had the same face as Su Peisheng, he felt unbelievable.

"Hanhuan, you...you..."

The emperor looked at Zhen Huan, then at Su Peisheng who was standing beside him:

"It's so similar. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes today, I wouldn't believe it no matter who said it!"

Su Peisheng looked at the face in front of him that looked exactly like him and said without blinking:

"Yes, Your Majesty, this makes me feel like I'm looking in a mirror!"

After several people sighed for a while, the emperor asked Su Peisheng to retreat behind the screen so as not to disturb his conversation with Zhen Huan.

But for some reason, when the emperor held Zhen Huan's hand and saw Su Peisheng's face, he always felt strange.

Zhen Huan saw the emperor's thoughts and said with a smile:

"Your Majesty, you only think of me as Eunuch Su right now. I came here today to ask Your Majesty how I should cooperate with Your Majesty next."

The emperor let go of Zhen Huan's hand, stood up and said:

"I have secretly ordered your father to take the tiger talisman and go to Nian Gengyao in private. If they find any movement outside the palace, they should immediately send troops to suppress it."

"As for the Seventh Prince's background, Xia Qi will be able to obtain evidence when Chao Gui holds a tea party. I have decided to end it all on the day of the tea party."

"Only in this way can we catch them off guard."

"Your Majesty has considered this very well."

"But to ensure everything is safe, in my opinion, it would be better for me to disguise myself as you, and you to disguise yourself as someone else. This way, if something goes wrong, the emperor won't be in a passive situation..."

Seeing the deep and silent look in the emperor's eyes, Zhen Huan continued:

"It's not that I don't trust Your Majesty, but this matter is of great importance, and I cannot let Your Majesty make any mistakes."

"I have thought about it again and again, and this is the only way to catch those with ulterior motives by surprise, and to expose their tracks without harming the emperor."

The emperor pondered for a moment, then walked to Zhen Huan and took her hand tenderly:

"Hanhuan, in this palace, you are the only one who would think for me like this."

"Okay, let's use the method you mentioned, but..."

The emperor paused, then said:

"I still can't let you disguise yourself as me. If I do, I will transfer all the risks to you."

"Why not let someone who can disguise himself as me? This way, you won't be in any danger."

"Your Majesty, although the disguised person knows how to disguise himself, he does not understand your words and deeds, so it is easy for others to discover the clues."

"I have served the emperor for a long time and am very familiar with his every word and action. It would be more appropriate for me to disguise myself as you."

Seeing Zhen Huan's insistence, the emperor nodded and agreed to her suggestion, but there was one thing that made the emperor a little worried:

"Hanhuan, although you can imitate my movements, your voice... is as light as a lark. How can it be the same as mine?"
