076 A Wall Separated

(Hall of Mental Cultivation)

Yinzhen has been immersed in a complex emotional tangle recently.

During the day, he enjoyed the company of Concubine Shu. Her face, which was similar to that of Empress Chunyuan, and her equally melodious voice, seemed to make him temporarily forget all the troubles in the palace and find a moment of peace and freedom.

However, whenever night fell and everything was quiet, another figure would involuntarily emerge in his mind - Zhen Huan.

Deep in Yinzhen's heart, Zhen Huan is a unique existence.

She is not only intelligent and talented, but also has a sensitive and tenacious heart.

The two of them had experienced many twists and turns, and Zhen Huan's figure had long been deeply imprinted in his heart, becoming a part of him that could not be easily erased.

When Yinzhen looked at Mu Wanrou carefully, he unexpectedly discovered a subtle detail: although Mu Wanrou's eyes were somewhat similar to those of Queen Chunyuan, the affection and agility contained in them were more like Zhen Huan.

This discovery made Yinzhen fall into deep thought, and he began to reflect on his true feelings deep in his heart.

Perhaps, the reason why he developed a liking for Mu Wanrou was not just because of her similarities with Queen Chun Yuan, but also because he saw the shadow of Zhen Huan in her and felt the long-lost warmth and companionship.

However, this emotional confusion and entanglement also made Yinzhen feel unprecedented confusion and struggle.

It was late at night, and Yinzhen sat alone at his desk, looking at the bright moon outside the window, with mixed feelings in his heart.

He understood that he had to face his true feelings and sort out this complicated emotional relationship.

"Su Peisheng." Yinzhen's voice rang out in the empty bedroom, carrying with it unquestionable majesty.

"Your servant is here. What does the emperor want you to do?" Su Peisheng responded quickly, walked into the hall with brisk steps, bowed and waited for orders.

Yinzhen hesitated for a moment, his eyes firm, "Please go to the Suiyu Pavilion. I want to go see Xipin tonight."

When Su Peisheng heard this, a hint of surprise flashed across his face, but he quickly returned to normal.

He knew that the emperor had made up his mind, so he answered respectfully: "Your Majesty, the name of Concubine Shu has been turned over tonight, and the Phoenix Spring Grace Carriage has also gone to the Yanxi Palace..."

Yinzhen raised his hand gently and interrupted Su Peisheng's words: "It's okay, let her go back. I just want to see Xipin at the moment."

Su Peisheng nodded quickly in agreement. Although he was surprised, he quickly adjusted his thoughts, turned around and ordered the eunuch under his command to convey the emperor's order. At the same time, he followed closely behind Yinzhen and prepared to go to Suiyuxuan.

Along the way, Yinzhen sat in the sedan chair and pondered, as if he had made up his mind to face his true feelings.

Su Peisheng followed silently, secretly guessing the emperor's thoughts in his heart, and at the same time he felt a little relieved for Concubine Xi who was about to go to Suiyuxuan.

Soon, the group arrived in front of Shuiyuxuan.

Yinzhen gently pushed open the door and stepped into the quiet and elegant courtyard.

Under the night sky, Suiyuxuan appears exceptionally peaceful and warm, as if it could wash away all the worries and sorrows in people's hearts.

When Yinzhen walked into the room, he saw Zhen Huan had already heard the noise and was standing up to greet him.

She was wearing a light-colored nightgown and her hair was loose, which made her look gentle and charming.

Their eyes met, and without any words, they understood each other's intentions.

That night, Yinzhen and Zhen Huan talked about their inner thoughts, as if they had returned to the innocence and beauty when they first met.

Under the candlelight of Suiyuxuan, the two figures leaned against each other tightly, spending a warm and unforgettable night together.

At dawn the next day, Yinzhen got up early and went to the morning court.

At the same time, Zhen Huan inadvertently glimpsed a portrait of Queen Chun Yuan.

She gazed at the gentle face of the woman in the painting, then turned to the bronze mirror, seeing her own face that was strikingly similar to hers, and ripples of emotion began to form in her heart.

"My lady, is this the portrait that the emperor painted specially for you? It is so lifelike." Huanbi asked softly, her eyes full of confusion.

"This is the portrait of Queen Chunyuan." Zhen Huan's tone was calm, but she revealed a subtle hint of complex emotions.

"Ah? Queen Chunyuan? But why..." Before Huanbi could finish her words, she was interrupted by Zhen Huan's gentle but firm voice.

"Do you think I am quite similar to her?" Zhen Huan asked proactively, with a deep gaze.

"My lady..." Huanbi's voice was filled with fear, "Could it be that the Emperor did this because of you..."

"That's right." Zhen Huan interrupted again calmly, "I am just a shadow of Queen Chunyuan in the world."

"My lady..." Seeing this, Huanbi quickly comforted her, "Perhaps the emperor has truly admired you now."

"Really?" Zhen Huan stroked her cheek, a bitter smile on her lips, "This face sometimes disgusts me, but I have to admit that it has given me some special opportunities."

"My dear, I have seen the emperor's love for you." Huanbi said seriously, "At first, the emperor might have been attracted by your appearance, but now, I can feel that the emperor has a place for you in his heart."

"Perhaps you are right." Zhen Huan sighed softly, "Even my title has been changed by the emperor, which may mean that I really have a place in this deep palace."

At this time, Yinzhen was standing outside the door of Suiyuxuan, the conversation inside the house echoing in his ears. He felt mixed emotions and could not muster up the courage to push open the door.

In the end, Yinzhen did not have the courage to push open the door. He turned around and silently left Suiyuxuan and returned to the Yangxin Palace.

He walked slowly to the table and sat down. His eyes were involuntarily attracted to an exquisite box in which lay a warm jade pendant.

Yinzhen gently picked up the jade pendant and stared at it, as if he could see all the memories of the past with Zhen Huan through the jade pendant.

His thoughts began to drift away, and he recalled the moment he first met Zhen Huan. Her intelligence, talent, and the charm that was similar to Rouze that she inadvertently revealed all caused ripples in his heart.

"I wish, 'If the north wind understands my intention, it will not destroy me easily.'"

"I am afraid that my humble name may offend your ears."

"I am Sui Yuxuan, a concubine of the emperor Zhen Huan. I have met the prince."

"It's fine if there are no flowers or fruits."

"Shiro..."

However, as time went by, he gradually realized that his feelings for Zhen Huan had gone beyond the initial attraction and became complex and profound.

At this moment, Yinzhen's heart was full of contradictions and struggles. A feeling of guilt arose in his heart, and he didn't know whether he was guilty towards Ulanala Rouze or towards Zhen Huan.

Looking at the jade pendant in his hand, Yinzhen fell into deep thought.

Finally, Yinzhen gently put down the jade pendant, closed his eyes and thought for a moment, then slowly opened his eyes.
