Legend of Zhen Huan: Zhen Huan is reborn

122 Regaining Freedom

As expected, only a week later, the Guwaljia clan was exposed for deliberately framing important officials in the court and was severely punished. The entire clan was exiled to Ningguta, and the former glory and status of Guwaljia Wenyuan also disappeared.

At the same time, Yinzhen finally ordered the lifting of the house arrest on Zhen Huan, allowing her to regain her freedom.

At this time of rapid change, Mu Wanrou was unexpectedly diagnosed to have been pregnant for more than a month. This news undoubtedly caused another wave of disturbance in the harem.

When this news spread throughout the harem as quickly as a spring breeze, everyone was gathered in Jingren Palace, practicing the daily ritual of greeting Xiang Yi.

"The fact that Concubine Xi has been able to regain her freedom this time, the benefits and consequences involved cannot be underestimated." Although there was some anger in Wen Yuan's words, she also revealed her helpless acknowledgment of the change in Zhen Huan's circumstances.

However, her words were obviously out of line. Zhen Huan glanced at her lightly, and her tone was full of unquestionable majesty: "Your Highness Yu, your words seem to be beyond the limit. It is not what a concubine in the harem should do to offend her superiors. But considering the misfortune your family has suffered recently and the suffering of exile, I will not argue with you too much. I hope you will be careful with your words and deeds in the future and don't lose your composure again."

"You! All this is because of your frame-up. My Guaerjia family has ended up like this. I will never let you go easily!" Wen Yuan was emotional and her words were full of resentment.

However, Zhen Huan was not moved by this. She turned to ask the Queen Yixiu: "Are you going to sit back and watch the Queen do nothing when Concubine Yu behaves in such a way? In the harem, we should follow the rules of etiquette and behave in moderation. Concubine Yu's behavior is not only against the palace rules, but also a provocation to the Queen's majesty."

Faced with this sudden dispute, Yixiu felt a splitting headache. She knew very well that any small disturbance in the harem could trigger a chain reaction.

So, she made a decisive ruling: "Lady Yu's rude words are extremely disrespectful. From now on, she will be confined to Chuxiu Palace for three months to serve as a warning to others. She will also be fined half a year's salary as a punishment."

As soon as these words were spoken, Guarjia Wenyuan's face turned pale instantly. She could only stand up helplessly, and with a heart full of resentment and humiliation, she silently left Jingren Palace, returned to Chuxiu Palace, and began her life of house arrest.

Just as everyone was feeling sad about Guarjia Wenyuan's experience, there was a sudden panic in the Yanxi Palace, followed by news that Mu Wanrou had fainted.

This sudden change quickly attracted everyone's attention. Later, the results of the imperial physician's diagnosis caused quite a stir in the harem - Concubine Shu Mu Wanrou was also pregnant!

"Really? This is really a double happiness." Empress Yixiu forced a smile on her face, but it seemed quite forced. Her fake smile made it hard to guess what she was really thinking. "Concubine Zhen is pregnant, Concubine Xi is also pregnant, and now even Concubine Shu has brought good news. There are really many happy events in the harem."

"That's right, the Empress is right." Concubine Jing Feng Ruozhao took over the conversation at the right time, her tone full of joy and emotion, "So many good news come one after another, it's really God's blessing for our Qing Dynasty, and it's also a blessing for us concubines."

"That's all for today's greetings. My sisters, please leave first." Yixiu finally ended this somewhat heavy meeting. Although her voice sounded tired, she still maintained the dignity and dignity of a queen.

Upon hearing this, all the concubines stood up and saluted, saying in unison, "Yes, I'll take my leave."

Afterwards, they followed the palace rules, left Jingren Palace one by one, and returned to their own residences.

Yanghe Hall.

At this moment, Wen Yuan stepped into Chuxiu Palace angrily. An uncontrollable resentment broke out instantly, and she seemed to want to pour out all her grievances and unwillingness.

As a result, the porcelain and ornaments in the Yanghe Hall became innocent victims of her out-of-control emotions and were smashed to pieces. The crisp sound of shattering echoed in the empty palace, which was particularly harsh.

"Bitch! Bitch! You caused my entire Guaerjia clan to be exiled. You're such a vixen, this bitch!" Wen Yuan cursed and smashed things.

Jingtai stood aside, his face pale, not daring to breathe. He could only watch the sudden storm and pray in his heart that this unexpected disaster would be quelled as soon as possible.

She knew very well that Wen Yuan's anger at the moment was due to the heavy blow to her family - the exile of the entire Guaerjia clan. What a shame and despair that was. In her opinion, all this was blamed on the "bitch" she called, the vixen whom she hated to the core.

Huanfu Hall.

Li Changzai, the concubine who lived in the same palace with Wen Yuan, couldn't help feeling a little uneasy when she heard the sharp shattering sounds.

She tiptoed towards the door, carefully lifted a corner of the curtain, and peeked out secretly.

When she saw that Wen Yuan's door was closed and two stern-looking guards were standing outside the door, she finally felt relieved.

The presence of these guards invisibly built a barrier against this anger, making her believe that, at least tonight, Wen Yuan's anger would not spread to her.

Li Changzai sighed secretly. Life in the palace was already full of twists and turns, and Wen Yuan's experience today made her deeply realize how difficult it was.

She gently lowered the door curtain, turned around and went back into the house, silently praying for herself in her heart, seeking peace for herself in this deep palace.

(Smashed Jade Pavilion)

Shen Meizhuang said at this moment: "You are safe now, but I am worried so much that I can't eat or sleep at night."

Zhen Huan took over the conversation and said in a deep voice: "Thinking back to the day when the wedding dress was damaged for no reason, I'm afraid it was not accidental, but someone must have secretly plotted against it. Although we took every precaution, we still failed to completely avoid it."

Shen Meizhuang said gently: "You are pregnant now, perhaps because you have worked too hard."

An Lingrong asked with concern: "Sister, regarding the damage to the auspicious dress, have you found out who did it?"

Zhen Huan looked deep in her eyes and said slowly, "Thinking carefully, I'm afraid only that person could do such a thing."

"You mean..." A look of disbelief appeared on Shen Meizhuang's face.

An Lingrong then asked, "Why did she act this way?"

Zhen Huan sighed softly and explained, "Since Nian Shilan fell, my position has become increasingly stable. Not only did I successfully give birth to the Seventh Prince, but now I am pregnant with a new life. Naturally, she is worried that my power will grow further and threaten her position."

"This is really a headache." Shen Meizhuang said worriedly.

Zhen Huan seemed relatively calm: "Since we have seen through her intentions, we just need to be extra careful and take strict precautions. She shouldn't be so blatant as to take action."

Upon hearing this, An Lingrong said to Zhen Huan with even more concern, "Sister, you must be extra careful, especially with the baby in your belly."

Zhen Huan smiled and comforted her, "Don't worry, with Doctor Wen here to take good care of you, both mother and child will be safe."
