Legend of Zhen Huan: Zhen Huan is reborn

121 One Day Without Seeing, It Feels Like Three Years

(Yanxi Palace)

Le Dao Tang.

"My lady, why did you stop me just now? Lady Yu did act too excessively." Lianyin complained softly.

"It's just this matter. I'm just an insignificant person among the emperor's many concubines. I come when summoned and leave when dismissed. How dare I compare myself with the noble lady Yu who is in great favor of the emperor?" Mu Wanrou responded indifferently.

"My lady, you entered the palace earlier than her. How could she look down on you like this? I am really angry." Lianyin said indignantly.

"Since you are so impatient today, I will punish you to copy books quietly in your room to calm your mind." Mu Wanrou sighed softly, then turned to Yunxiang and ordered, "Yunyi, come with me to visit Concubine Zhen. She is pregnant. I will go to share in the joyous atmosphere, and maybe I can also get pregnant."

"Yes, sir." Yunyi responded.

So, the master and servant went to Yixingxuan hand in hand.

Yixingxuan.

"Hello, Queen Zhen. I hope my visit did not disturb your rest." Mu Wanrou opened her red lips slightly, her words full of humility.

"How could that be? I'm so happy that you can come to see me." Chunyi replied with a smile.

Then, Mu Wanrou bowed again and said respectfully: "Good morning, Concubine Rou. May you be blessed with great fortune and good health forever."

"No need to be so formal. Please take a seat." An Lingrong said in a gentle tone, motioning Mu Wanrou to take a seat.

Mu Wanrou smiled slightly and said gratefully: "Thank you for your grace, Madam. I have specially prepared a few boxes of exquisite snacks for Madam Zhen to taste and add some fun. I hope Madam Zhen will not mind their vulgarity."

When talking about delicious food, Chunyi's eyes instantly lit up, as if reflecting the sweetness of the snacks, and she looked at the snack box in Mu Wanrou's hand with full anticipation.

Seeing this, An Lingrong smiled and said jokingly, "Look at how greedy you are. Could it be that I have treated you unfairly? However, you are pregnant now, so you must be very careful about your diet. You must not be careless about what you need to avoid, and don't overeat."

Mu Wanrou did not look embarrassed when she heard this, but nodded gently and said, "Your Majesty is right. I will keep it in mind. These snacks are carefully made by my personal maids. Every process is supervised by me personally to ensure that there are no mistakes. I will not let anything wrong affect the food safety of Your Majesty Zhen."

After listening to Mu Wanrou's explanation, Chunyi excitedly picked up a piece of cake, took a bite, and said happily, "It's delicious, Sister An, you should try it too."

Seeing this, An Lingrong smiled and reminded, "Eat slowly, don't choke."

As she spoke, she picked up the milk tea prepared on the side and handed it to Chunyi.

Chunyi took the tea, gulped down a few sips, and said with a satisfied smile: "Thank you, sister."

At this time, Mu Wanrou saw that the atmosphere was harmonious, so she stood up and said goodbye at the right time: "Since the two ladies are getting along so well, I will not disturb you any more and will take my leave first."

An Lingrong nodded in agreement, and Mu Wanrou bowed and slowly left the room.

(Smashed Jade Pavilion)

Here, Zhen Huan gently unfolded the note that Yinzhen had specially asked someone to deliver to her. The ink on the note was not dry yet, and it read, "One day without seeing you feels like three years, and I miss you so much that I go crazy."

After reading it, she raised a faint smile, which seemed to contain endless stories and helplessness. Then she waved her jade hand lightly, signaling the maid to put it away carefully.

If it weren't for the family's honor and if it weren't for the Zhen family's ability to stay safe in the treacherous court struggles, how could she be willing to put herself in this emotional whirlpool and play the role of a beauty in the deep palace day after day.

Behind every bit of forbearance and every smile, there is a deep love and responsibility for the family, which forces her to bury her personal feelings deep in her heart and show extraordinary calmness and composure.

"Your Majesty, you see, the Emperor is still thinking about you. Look, he has instructed Eunuch Su to quietly send some things over." Liu Zhu reported softly, her eyes flashing with a hint of heartache and confusion about her master's situation.

Zhen Huan heard this, and a bitter smile appeared on her lips. She sighed and said slowly: "Really? If he really has me in his heart, why would he hide it so much? Wouldn't it be better to just lift the ban and let me walk freely? Now, Hong Zhou and I are trapped in this Shattered Jade Pavilion, which is like house arrest. This "care" is just a consolation."

After that, Zhen Huan changed the subject and asked with concern: "By the way, how is Hongzhou these days? He is still young, and he hasn't been out for such a long time. I'm afraid he is not used to it?"

Liu Zhu heard this and a trace of worry appeared on her face. She replied, "Seventh Prince is very well-behaved and sensible, but children are lively by nature. After being trapped in a corner for a long time, it is inevitable that he will be a little irritable and sometimes even have a little temper. I think he misses the outside world."

Zhen Huan gazed at Liu Zhu's smiling face, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart.

She secretly rejoiced that in this life, Liu Zhu was safe and sound, and her father, mother and Yu Rao were not exiled to the distant Ningguta. The perfection of all this made her feel deeply relieved and happy.

Liu Zhu looked at Zhen Huan in deep thought and said softly, "Now the Seventh Prince can already take his first steps, and you, Your Majesty, have been confined here for almost two months. Time flies, and the Seventh Prince has already turned one year old, but the Emperor has not heard of any intention of lifting your confinement."

"Yes, in the blink of an eye, Hongzhou can already take his first steps and has turned one year old, and I have been under house arrest for nearly two months." A barely perceptible sadness flashed across Zhen Huan's eyes. She gently stroked the objects on the table, as if expressing her helplessness and expectations through these silent objects.

Seeing this, Liu Zhu felt even more indignant for Zhen Huan. She said indignantly, "You are so virtuous and gentle, and you have given so much to the Emperor, but you are treated like this in return. It is really disheartening. The Seventh Prince's first birthday should be celebrated by the whole palace, but now..."

At this point, Liu Zhu's voice couldn't help but choke up, and she quickly lowered her head, fearing that her emotions would affect Zhen Huan.

"Okay, go wash your face quickly. Look at you, I didn't shed any tears, but you look so sad. I understand your worries. Perhaps in a few days, the emperor will lift my house arrest, and then everything will be better. It will not be beautiful if you keep crying like this. Stop crying and be obedient." Zhen Huan gently comforted Liu Zhu, trying to dispel the haze in her heart with light words.

At this time, Huanbi quietly walked into the inner room and said softly, "Madam, Doctor Wen is outside the door."

"Please let him in." Zhen Huan responded gently.

"Hey." Huanbi responded and retreated.

Soon, Wen Shichu came into the room with a medicine box in hand, bowed and said, "Your humble servant Wen Shichu pays respect to Her Majesty the Imperial Concubine Xi."

"Doctor Wen, there's no need to be so polite." Zhen Huan raised her hand gently to signal.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace." After expressing his gratitude, Wen Shichu took out the pulse pillow, placed it on the table, and began to concentrate on taking Zhen Huan's pulse.

"Your Majesty, I have recently heard that the Guwaljia clan was severely reprimanded by the Emperor." Wen Shichu said softly, with a complex look in his eyes.

Zhen Huan had already understood something in her heart, but she pretended to be surprised and asked, "Oh? Why is that?"

Wen Shichu continued, "It is said that Lord Emin was accused of deliberately framing Uncle Zhen, and his actions angered His Majesty."

"The emperor has always hated those who secretly trip people up. This move is really expected." Zhen Huan responded lightly, with a barely perceptible flash of deep meaning in her eyes.

"Indeed, because of this matter, the emperor specially ordered me to visit Uncle Zhen and carefully treat him. Now Uncle Zhen's health is getting better day by day." Wen Shichu reported with a hint of relief in his words.

Zhen Huan felt relieved when she heard this and smiled, "That's good. Thank you for your hard work, Doctor Wen."

Wen Shichu quickly said humbly: "Your Majesty, you are too polite. This is my responsibility. I still need to go and check on Concubine Hui's hand injury, so I will take my leave first." After saying that, Wen Shichu was about to turn around and leave.

"Sister Mei's hand injury hasn't healed yet?" Zhen Huan asked with concern, frowning slightly.

Upon hearing this, Wen Shichu's face flashed with a trace of self-blame, and he said, "Indeed, the injury seems to keep recurring. I blame myself for my limited medical skills and for not being able to completely cure Concubine Hui."

"If Imperial Physician Wen's medical skills are really not perfect, then it would be difficult to find a more skilled imperial physician in the Forbidden City. You go first and don't let Sister Mei wait anxiously." Zhen Huan's words were full of trust and affirmation in Wen Shichu's medical skills.

Wen Shichu was grateful when he heard this, and bowed and said, "Yes, I obey your order and take my leave."

After saying this, he turned and left the room.

Zhen Huan's gaze gradually faded away as Wen Shichu left.

I thought to myself that Sister Mei’s hand injuries kept recurring, probably because she hadn’t used the scar-healing glue on time.

She sighed softly, wondering why Sister Mei neglected her own injuries for Wen Shichu.
