Legend of Zhen Huan: Zhen Huan is reborn

014 The crisis is resolved, Concubine Hua is under house arrest

After searching everywhere in the palace but finding nothing, only Zhen Huan's Sui Yuxuan had not been checked.

Upon hearing the news, Concubine Hua, regardless of her own physical discomfort, resolutely dressed up and led the palace maids and eunuchs into the Sui Yuxuan.

(Smashed Jade Pavilion)

Her face was filled with rage, and she approached Zhen Huan, shouting, "How dare you play such a trick in front of me!"

Facing Concubine Hua's aggressiveness, Zhen Huan remained unusually calm. She stood up and responded with a smile, "Madam Hua, I really don't know what the trick you are referring to is."

Concubine Hua sneered and ordered, "Look for yourself what this is!" Then, Zhou Ninghai presented a box that had just been dug out from Zhen Huan's palace.

Seeing this, the other concubines began to discuss. Concubine Qi said with a hint of sarcasm: "I really didn't expect that Concubine Wan seemed to be honest on weekdays, but in fact she was so scheming."

Fu Cha Peiyun also echoed: "That's right, relying on the emperor's favor, she dares to be so arrogant."

Xia Dongchun also echoed, "The emperor must severely punish the noble lady Wan to serve as a warning to others."

When the Queen saw how calm and composed Zhen Huan remained, and then saw how agitated and angry Concubine Hua was, she already knew where the situation was headed.

So, she spoke softly and pleaded for Zhen Huan: "Your Majesty, I think this matter may not be as simple as it seems on the surface. There must be some misunderstandings that we are not aware of yet."

Yinzhen was silent at this moment, his deep eyes were fixed on Zhen Huan, as if he was exploring something, making it impossible to guess his inner thoughts at the moment.

An Lingrong and Shen Meizhuang saw Zhen Huan's innocence and grievance in their eyes, so they knelt down and defended Zhen Huan: "Your Majesty, Concubine Wan has always been upright, she would never do such a thing. I beg Your Majesty to see clearly."

"Your Majesty, I firmly believe that Sister Zhen has a noble character and would never do such a thing. Please be careful to judge right from wrong."

Zhen Huan cast a reassuring look at them, raised the corners of her mouth, and said leisurely: "This box has not been opened yet, how can you determine what is inside?"

Yinzhen looked at Zhen Huan calmly and asked, "Huan Huan, have you ever been involved in this matter?"

Although Zhen Huan was a little nervous, she still felt a surge of excitement when facing Yinzhen's question, as if all the emotions of her past and present lives were touched at this moment. "If I say I have never done that, will the emperor believe me?"

Yinzhen's eyes were firm, and he answered without hesitation: "I believe you."

Zhen Huan felt a little relieved, and she said softly: "Since the emperor trusts me, I will definitely not let him down."

After hearing this, Concubine Hua flew into a rage. She ordered, "Zhou Ninghai, open it immediately!"

Zhou Ninghai obeyed the order and opened the box. He was shocked to see a well-sealed jar of Rose Wine inside.

Concubine Hua was also stunned, and then she ordered anxiously: "How could this be... It must be in her room, continue to search for me!"

Zhen Huan had a calm expression as she allowed Hua Fei's men to search the room carefully, because she had already cleverly destroyed the so-called evidence in advance.

As expected, not long after, the searchers returned empty-handed. They reported to Concubine Hua: "Your Majesty, we didn't find any evidence."

When Concubine Hua heard this, she was furious. She asked angrily, "If it wasn't you, who else could have done this?"

Zhen Huan remained calm and responded calmly: "Your Majesty, I really have never done anything to harm you."

Nian Shilan was extremely unwilling at this moment. She glanced at Cao Qinmo, but Yinzhen said to Concubine Hua: "You should go back to the palace to rest first, and don't come out again in the next few days."

Although Concubine Hua was full of dissatisfaction, seeing Yinzhen's displeasure, she could only reluctantly take her people away.

Zhen Huan looked at Concubine Hua's departing back and felt relieved. She knew that this was only the beginning of the palace struggle and the road ahead was still long. She had to be careful in her response in order to gain a foothold in this treacherous palace.

When Concubine Hua left, all the concubines returned to their respective residences, and Yinzhen also chose to stay.

"Hanhuan, what happened tonight has caused you to suffer unnecessary injustice." Yinzhen's voice was full of tenderness and apology.

Zhen Huan raised her head and looked at Yinzhen firmly, "Your Majesty, I don't feel wronged. As long as Silang believes in me, I have nothing to fear."

Yinzhen was slightly stunned, as if he was a little surprised by Zhen Huan's address, "Huan Huan, what do you call me?"

There was a hint of surprise in his voice, because the way Zhen Huan addressed her at this moment was the private nickname between him and Queen Chunyuan.

Zhen Huan realized that she had spoken out of turn. She was calm in her heart, but her face showed even more panic. "I spoke out of turn. This is my fault. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

However, Yinzhen did not blame her. Instead, he smiled faintly and said, "Hanhuan, I like you to call me that." His voice was full of doting.

Zhen Huan's heart was moved. She knew that this was Yinzhen's special feeling towards her, so she asked tentatively: "Then from now on, when it's just Huan Huan and the emperor, can I call the emperor Si Lang?"

Yinzhen nodded, a gentle light flashing in his eyes, "Okay."

The two looked at each other, and it seemed as if the whole world had stopped.

However, an indescribable emotion surged in Zhen Huan's heart.

She thought of Queen Chunyuan, the woman who had once been deeply in love with Yinzhen.

She couldn't help but think in her heart: "Silang, oh Silang, are you looking at me at this moment, or are you looking through me to recall the past with Chunyuan..."

When love is strong, a night of love...

-

The morning light caressed the gauze curtains, and the bedroom was filled with warmth.

Zhen Huan woke up in Yinzhen's arms. She looked up quietly and saw his handsome and peaceful face. A warm feeling surged in her heart.

The lingering moments of last night are still vivid in my mind, yet they seem a lifetime ago.

Yinzhen trembled slightly, as if he was also disturbed by Zhen Huan's subtle movements.

He opened his eyes and saw Zhen Huan looking at him lovingly, and his heart was filled with tenderness.

He gently held her in his arms and whispered softly, "Hanhuan, why don't you sleep a little longer?"

Zhen Huan opened her red lips and smiled sweetly: "Silang, I know you are about to go to court, so I wanted to get up early to accompany you." Her voice was full of sweetness and attachment.

"Having Huanhuan by my side makes me feel very relieved."

The two of them leaned against each other, quietly enjoying this rare warmth in this peaceful time.
