Legend of Zhen Huan: Zhen Huan is reborn

069 Wan Wan, Wan Wan

-

Zhen Huan slowly opened her eyes in her drowsiness. Even though all this was carefully planned by her, she still felt a little uneasy and uneasy.

"Silang~ You're finally back." She whispered softly, tears welling up in her eyes involuntarily, and her grievance was evident in her words.

Yinzhen stepped forward quickly, held Zhen Huan's hand tightly, and comforted her gently: "Huanhuan, don't be afraid, I'm back, everything is over." His voice was full of pity and determination.

Upon hearing this, Zhen Huan's tears fell like pearls from a broken string. What she was most concerned about was the baby in her belly. "Silang, where is the baby? Is our child still alive?" There was a hint of trembling in her tone and her eyes were full of worry.

Yinzhen nodded sympathetically, his eyes full of tenderness and comfort, "Thanks to the great medical skills of Doctor Wei, you and the child are safe, don't worry."

After hearing this, Zhen Huan felt relieved. She snuggled in Yinzhen's arms, as delicate as a newly blooming white flower, which made her even more lovable. Yinzhen's heart was instantly filled with tenderness.

However, this warmth did not last long. Yinzhen's eyes suddenly became deep and complicated, as if there was anger burning in his chest.

"Where is that bitch?" he asked suddenly, with unquestionable authority in his voice.

Upon seeing this, Su Peisheng hurriedly and respectfully reported: "Your Majesty, Concubine Hua is taking off her hairpin and kneeling outside the door as a criminal, waiting for her fate."

Upon hearing this, Yinzhen coldly spat out one word: "Pass it on."

Su Peisheng stepped back in response, and soon led Nian Shilan into the inner room.

Nian Shilan's face was pale and her hair was a little messy, and it was obvious that she had been kneeling for quite some time.

She looked up at Yinzhen and Zhen Huan, a complex emotion flashed in her eyes, but then she lowered her head and silently endured the impending punishment.

"Your Majesty..." Nian Shilan's heart was filled with anticipation, hoping that Yinzhen would show her tolerance and mercy as he had in the past.

However, when she raised her head and looked up, she saw that Yinzhen's eyes were full of indifference and alienation, without any warmth at all.

"Your Majesty, it was an unintentional mistake on my part. It was Concubine Wan who spoke inappropriately and offended me first. I was angry at the time, so...it was actually unintentional on my part." Nian Shilan defended herself.

"You mean you don't mean it? Did you know that Concubine Wan is pregnant?" Yinzhen asked in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty..." Nian Shilan was about to continue his defense, but was interrupted by Feng Ruozhao at the side.

"Your Majesty! What the Imperial Concubine said is that it is because Wanpin is pregnant with the dragon offspring, and it has been three months, and the fetus is stable, so she was decided to punish Wanpin to show her majesty." Feng Ruozhao's words vaguely revealed resentment and jealousy that were difficult to capture.

"Your Majesty, I have heard that a concubine in the past met with misfortune because she kneeled for an hour, so I thought that it would be fine for Concubine Wan to kneel for half an hour. Look, isn't she safe and sound now?" Nian Shilan's voice gradually became as thin as a mosquito. Yinzhen stared at her, with an indescribable helplessness in his eyes.

"In the past, the concubine was punished for being disrespectful to Empress Chunyuan. At that time, Empress Chunyuan didn't know she was pregnant. She was heartbroken after finding out and suffered from difficult labor and hemorrhage. And you! You knew that Concubine Wan was pregnant, but you still insisted on making her kneel under the scorching sun for a long time. Your behavior was intentional harm, so how can you say it was unintentional?" Yinzhen's words revealed deep blame and disappointment.

Yinzhen's anger grew more and more intense. He glanced at Nian Shilan with disgust and said in a cold voice: "I think you are not ignorant, but cruel! If Wanpin really made a mistake, why didn't you punish her immediately, but waited until the midday sun was the hottest! This shows that the evil in your heart is as vicious as a snake and scorpion! How can I tolerate such a sinister person like you by my side!"

Nian Shilan knelt down at Yinzhen's feet and cried with tears in her eyes: "Your Majesty! I am indeed dissatisfied with Wanpin. Since she entered the palace, Your Majesty's heart has been completely tied to her. How can I not feel resentful and how can I swallow this anger!"

Yixiu took the opportunity to speak up, with a reproachful tone: "You are really too foolish, and you have wasted the important task that the emperor has given you to assist in managing the six palaces! Fortunately, Concubine Wan is safe today, and the fetus is also saved. If something really happened..." Yixiu stopped talking here, leaving a meaningful blank.

Upon hearing this, Yinzhen, who was standing by, looked solemn and fell into deep thought.

Seeing this, Nian Shilan became even more frightened. She stepped forward tremblingly, tightly grasped the hem of Yinzhen's robe, and pleaded in a sad voice: "Although I am dissatisfied with Wanpin, even so, I have no courage to harm the royal heir! I myself have lost my own flesh and blood, how can I bear to involve an innocent child in this dispute?"

When mentioning this, Yinzhen's expression changed slightly. He sighed and said in a deep voice: "Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you. You have also experienced the pain of losing your son. How can you transfer this pain to Wanpin?"

Nian Shilan was about to open her mouth to explain, but Yinzhen did not allow her to say more and continued, "You should be thankful that the child is safe. If anything goes wrong, I will not let you off easily."

Then, he turned to Yixiu and ordered, "Empress, you must immediately inform the six palaces to abolish the position of Concubine Hua, deprive her of her title, and take back her authority to assist the six palaces, and demote her to the position of concubine. You are not allowed to see her again unless I summon you."

"As you wish." Yixiu replied.

When Nian Shilan heard this, she felt like she had been struck by a bolt from the blue, and her hands were still tightly holding Yinzhen's calves.

She wanted to cry and beg for mercy again, but Yinzhen kicked her away. He looked at her coldly and said dissatisfiedly: "What has Wanpin done wrong? The other concubines in the six palaces are so innocent. Why should they accompany Wanpin to be exposed to the scorching sun? From now on, you must kneel on the brick ground outside your palace gate for two hours as a punishment."

After saying this, he turned around and didn't even look at Nian Shilan again, letting her be dragged away as her crying voice faded away.

-

Yinzhen immediately ordered all the concubines to return to their respective bedrooms, wishing only to be alone with Zhen Huan for a while to comfort her.

"Hanhuan, you have been wronged today." Yinzhen said gently.

Zhen Huan's eyes were filled with tears as she whispered, "Silang, Huan Huan just felt as if she were in a nightmare. She dreamed that both she and her unborn child met with misfortune and that she would never see you again. In the dream, Silang even called Huan Huan by her title."

When Yinzhen heard this, his expression changed slightly, and a complex emotion flashed in his deep eyes.

"Wanwan..." He couldn't help but whisper. The name was like a spell, instantly bringing him back to the good times he spent with Queen Chunyuan.

But soon, he realized his gaffe, quickly adjusted his mood, and his eyes fell gently on Zhen Huan again.

"Silang..." Zhen Huan called softly, tenderness flashing in her eyes.

She knew very well that the feelings in Yinzhen's heart were hard to give up, but she also understood how to use this similarity to consolidate her position in Yinzhen's heart.

"Wanwan understands Silang's difficulties and hardships. Wanwan keeps them all in mind. Wanwan doesn't want to be a burden to Silang, and doesn't want to put Silang in a dilemma. As long as Silang has a place for Wanwan in his heart, Wanwan will be satisfied and have no regrets in this life."

After hearing this, Yinzhen felt a mixture of guilt and emotion in his heart. He hugged Zhen Huan tightly in his arms, as if he wanted to put all his love and apology into this hug.

At this moment, the emotions between them transcended the constraints of identity and status, leaving only two hearts closely dependent on each other.
