After Prince Guo was reborn, Zhen Huan became invincible

Chapter 17 The Queen is worried about Chun Yuan's return

The emperor thought that the person who came was Chun Yuan, and he showed a trace of joy on his face at first, then turned to look at Hua Fei in disappointment: "Shi Lan, why are you here?"

"Your Majesty, as soon as I heard that you were in trouble, I rushed here immediately." Concubine Hua explained with a concerned look on her face.

At this moment, the Queen and the Queen Mother had also arrived.

"Emperor, how come you got up when all is well? Are you feeling unwell?" The empress dowager looked distressed and extremely anxious. The eunuch who delivered the message only said that something had happened to the emperor but did not elaborate on what happened.

When the emperor saw so many people coming, he gradually realized that Chunyuan would never come back.

The emperor raised his head, his eyes were firm but a little absent-minded, and his voice was hoarse and low:

"I'm fine. I'm fine. I just saw Chunyuan. Chunyuan told me that she was very cold underground."

His words were like a sharp sword, piercing everyone's hearts. He only said the first half of Chun Yuan's sentence.

The queen's eyes suddenly changed, her heart was in turmoil, and a hint of fear was faintly revealed.

She thought to herself: What did the emperor mean by seeing Chun Yuan? Did my sister come back to seek revenge on me? She began to panic, and her mind was filled with memories of the past and her unresolved problems.

For many years, she had always trusted the emperor and believed that what he said must be true and credible. Now, when she heard the emperor say seriously that he had seen Chunyuan, she couldn't help but waver in her heart. Sister, you have been dead for so many years, why don't you let me, your own sister, go? Her heart was filled with doubts and fears.

When Jianqiu saw that the queen looked pale, she immediately stepped forward to support her, worried that she would lose her balance.

The queen quickly adjusted her mindset, managed to calm down, and asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, what else did my sister say to you?"

The Queen Mother rebuked him coldly at this moment, her voice stern: "Nonsense! The Emperor is usually most averse to talk about ghosts and gods, Queen, are you also making a fuss?"

The Queen's heart trembled at the Queen's majesty. She was frightened and took a step back involuntarily, looking even more flustered.

Seeing this situation, Concubine Hua didn't dare to speak easily as the situation was unclear. She just supported the emperor silently, without saying a word, and watched everything in front of her.

The emperor took a deep breath, calmed down a little, turned to the empress dowager and said, "Madam, please don't worry about your son. I know my limits. Please go back."

The empress dowager frowned and glanced sharply at everyone in the hall. She was obviously skeptical of the emperor's words, but she ultimately chose to believe the emperor's judgment. She nodded slowly, turned and left.

The atmosphere in the bedroom was still tense. The Queen and Concubine Hua looked at each other, each with their own thoughts in their minds.

"You all go down, I want to be alone." The emperor said coldly.

At this time, the concubines in the three palaces and six courtyards heard that the emperor was in trouble, and they all rushed to visit him, but they were rejected one by one by Xiao Xia Zi, who said that the emperor would not see anyone.

As the night grew darker, the emperor lay on his bed, lost in deep thought.

In the next few days, the emperor kept thinking about the return of Queen Chunyuan's ghost. He had always hated the talk of ghosts and gods, but after experiencing it himself, he began to believe it.

From that day on, the news of those who had witnessed the cups in the emperor's bedroom being smashed one after another spread throughout the palace.

The Queen thought that so many days had passed and the Emperor had not yet convicted her, which meant that Chun Yuan had not revealed that she had murdered Chun Yuan.

But just in case, the queen must find a way to perform a ritual in the palace, just for Chun Yuan's ghost, so that the emperor won't know that she killed Chun Yuan.

Shoukang Palace

The queen stepped into Shoukang Palace, and a hint of coldness permeated the silent palace walls.

Her steps were light but dignified. The queen took a deep breath and walked into the inner hall, her eyes respectfully falling on the queen mother.

"I pay my respects to the Empress Dowager. May she be healthy and healthy." The Queen spoke in a soft voice and bowed respectfully to the Empress Dowager.

The Queen Mother sat at the head of the table, her expression dignified but kind. She nodded slightly and said, "No need to be polite. Please sit down. Queen, has the Emperor been feeling better these days?"

The queen sat down carefully, with a hint of worry on her face: "The emperor has been in better health recently, and can now handle some state affairs in the imperial study. It's just..." She pretended to be hesitant, as if it was difficult for her to speak.

Seeing this, the Queen Mother frowned slightly, and said with a hint of majesty in her tone: "Just what? Queen, there is no need to be secretive. Just speak frankly."

The queen looked up at the queen mother's expression, and seeing that she looked normal, she slowly said, "It's just that the emperor is still a little weak and has not recovered yet. Now it has spread throughout the palace that the emperor's dragon body has been injured by the evil spirit of the ghost."

The Queen Mother's expression changed slightly, but she quickly regained her composure.

She has always been skeptical about the existence of ghosts and gods, but recently rumors have been spreading in the palace, and the guards of the Yulin Army have said that they saw several cups being broken into pieces in the emperor's bedroom.

These rumors forced her to re-examine the possibility of ghost stories.

Seeing that the Queen Mother did not object, the Queen continued, "So I want to invite a magician to the palace to perform a ritual to drive away the evil spirits in the palace so that the Emperor can recover soon."

The Queen Mother thought to herself, indeed, if it weren't true, the Emperor would have already dealt with those who spread the rumors.

She knew the emperor. He was more wary of ghosts than she was. If even he didn't punish her severely, there must be something fishy.

The Queen Mother hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Forget it, you go and ask the Emperor. If the Emperor does not agree, I will personally come forward."

The queen was very satisfied when she heard what the queen mother said. She stood up with gratitude and said, "Thank you for your consideration, madam. I will take my leave now."

After leaving Shoukang Palace, the queen walked towards her own bedroom with steady steps.

In the afternoon, the queen got up and went to the imperial study. She knew that this move must not only be steady but also accurate, for the sake of the emperor and her own position in the harem.

In the imperial study, the emperor was reviewing memorials, but he was restless, constantly thinking back to what Chunyuan had said to him that night, but he had not done it, and he felt extremely guilty.

The Queen came to the door of the imperial study and asked Su Peisheng to report to the Emperor that she had something to say.

Su Peisheng conveyed the Queen's words to the Emperor. The Emperor was no longer interested in reviewing memorials in the Imperial Study, so he said:

"Go to the Yangxin Palace and have the Queen wait for me."

Broken Yuxuan

Ever since Prince Guo explained to her that night, Zhen Huan has been extra careful about her health and pretends to be sleepy and weak every day.

Since the emperor has been ill and has not recovered, Zhen Huan does not have to worry about him summoning her to sleep with him.

Behind the scenes, Zhen Huan asked Huanbi, Liuzhu, Cui Jinxi, Xiao Yunzi and others to be extra careful with the maid Huasui, and deliberately arranged for Huasui to be in charge of Zhen Huan's daily soup, and at the same time to always pay attention to her secretly drugging her.

A few days ago, it was discovered that Huasui and Xiao Yinzi had drugged Zhen Huan, but she did not say anything. She felt that the time was not right. Anyway, she would not drink the soup. Every time Huasui prepared it and brought it to her, she ordered Liuzhu to secretly pour it out.

On this day, Shen Meizhuang was eating fruit and drinking tea with Zhen Huan in Sui Yuxuan.

But it was obvious that Zhen Huan felt a little weak.

"Sister Huan, I notice that you look a little thinner recently. Do you want to call the imperial physician to check on you? Health is the most important thing. If you are not in good health, how can you serve the emperor?" Shen Meizhuang said to Zhen Huan with a worried look on her face.

Zhen Huan tried to force a smile and said, "Thank you for your concern, Sister Mei. I don't know why I have been feeling sleepy, weak, and nauseous these days. I thought it was because the weather was getting warmer. At first, I was just simply sleepy."

Suddenly Huanbi stepped forward and said, "My lady, I just saw Huasui putting medicine in your soup. I snatched the remaining half of the medicine from her. Please investigate this matter thoroughly."

"What? You in Suiyuxuan actually have such a disloyal servant. I will definitely report the situation to the emperor." Shen Meizhuang said indignantly.

At this time, Xiao Yunzi hurried in and said, "My lord, I just caught a young eunuch sneaking around the door of our Suiyuxuan. After I looked closely, I found that it was Xiao Yinzi. I searched him and found a note and a packet of medicine."

"Let me see the note." Zhen Huan said to Xiao Yunzi.

Xiao Yunzi stepped forward and handed the note to Zhen Huan.

Zhen Huan glanced at the note: Increase the dosage.

Then he handed it to Shen Meizhuang. Shen Meizhuang took a look at the note and became even angrier.

So he stood up and said, "Huan'er, the mastermind behind this is too arrogant, thinking that you are easy to bully. I will go and ask the emperor to come and give you justice."

"Thank you, sister Mei. Huan'er is very happy because of your care." Zhen Huan looked at Shen Meizhuang's back as she left, seeming to be thinking about something.

She knew that it was not a good idea for her to use Shen Meizhuang in this way, but she had no other choice. It would be more effective to have someone witness the incident and convey it to the emperor than to go and file a complaint herself.

Yangxindian

When Shen Meizhuang rushed to the gate of the Palace of Tranquil Longevity, the emperor had just returned from the imperial study. When he was about to step over the threshold of the Palace of Tranquil Longevity, he heard Shen Meizhuang's voice behind him.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you." Shen Meizhuang bowed to the emperor politely.

"Why is Concubine Hui here?" The emperor glanced at the gentle and virtuous Shen Meizhuang, and there was more tenderness in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, I have something important to report. Someone has murdered Concubine Wan. I beg Your Majesty to investigate the truth and give Concubine Wan justice." It was the first time that the Emperor saw Shen Meizhuang was a little angry, which was quite cute.

But when he heard that someone was trying to harm Concubine Wan, he immediately became excited. Someone actually dared to murder my beloved concubine.
