"Humph, Concubine Wan, you are so bold that you dare to meet a man in the royal forbidden garden."

Concubine Hua walked in front with an arrogant look, followed by Shen Meiyu, An Lingrong, Concubine Cao, Concubine Li and Yu Ying'er.

The Queen was invited by Zhou Ninghai to Jingren Palace, and beside her was Concubine Qi who loved to join in the fun.

Two groups of people arrived one after another, and for a while the swing was full of people. Concubine Hua took the lead and loudly reprimanded Zhen Huan.

Facing Concubine Hua's accusation, Zhen Huan immediately knelt down and saluted to explain: "I don't know what Concubine Hua is talking about. I am just here with my maid to appreciate the flowers. How can I be said to be meeting a man outside of my family? Please investigate clearly and clear my name, Queen."

The Queen was hurriedly invited out of Jingren Palace. Zhou Ninghai only said that Zhen Huan was not behaving properly in the Imperial Garden and asked her to be the judge, but she didn't know what the matter was. Now she saw that Zhen Huan was the only one beside the swing, so how could she be unbehaving? She said in a cold voice: "Hua Fei, what is going on?"

Concubine Hua stared at Zhen Huan lying on the ground, and said with a look of satisfaction, "Your Majesty, I have a witness. I promise, you come out and tell me in detail."

An Lingrong sighed inwardly, it was indeed Yu Ying'er. In her previous life, she must have discovered something, which was why she felt so confident in humiliating Zhen Huan, but in the end she was heroically rescued by the Emperor.

In this life, I said those two sentences originally wanting her to be quiet. As long as she was still alive, one more person could always distract the Queen's attention, which would be beneficial to me. I didn't expect that Yu Ying'er actually learned to use the opponent's force to her advantage.

Yu Ying'er knelt on the ground and spoke with great emotion: "Empress Rong Bing, five days ago, I met Concubine Wan in the Imperial Garden. Concubine Wan was standing here at that time, and kept saying that he didn't come, he didn't come, it was raining and so on. I felt strange, how could a concubine in the harem keep talking about outsiders? I was afraid that I had wronged Concubine Wan, so I wanted to go to Suiyuxuan to find out the truth that night. Who knew that at the door of Suiyuxuan, I heard someone playing "Mountain High", which made me even more strange..."

Zhen Huan's heart was beating fast and her fingers unconsciously scratched the ground. She was so careless that she let an outsider see the inside story. Fortunately, the other party had no real evidence. As long as she insisted that the other party was framing her, she would just suffer a little and would never implicate others.

Shen Meizhuang listened to Yu Ying'er's increasingly outrageous talk. She knew that if she continued like this, Zhen Huan's reputation would be damaged. She immediately knelt on the ground and interrupted Yu loudly, "Empress, how can you take my promise to Pu Fengzhuoying seriously? Everyone can see that there is only Wan Changzai in the Imperial Garden. How can the reputation of a concubine be slandered by others? Please enforce the law and severely punish the person who slandered me."

Hua Fei naturally refused to listen. She had come here with such a large force today, so she had to give Zhen Huan the reputation of being unruly. She immediately arrogantly scolded Shen Meizhuang: "Shen Guiren, shut up. You and Wan Changzai are like sisters. Who knows if you will collude with each other? Wan Changzai is unruly, and you may not be any better. Just stay aside. I will deal with you later."

"Who are you going to deal with?" The emperor's voice came from behind.

Everyone immediately bowed and said, "May the Emperor be blessed with good health and good health."

Zhen Huan was in disbelief at first, but then a smile flashed across her eyes and she also bowed her head.

When Concubine Hua saw the Emperor appear, she was a little flustered, but she immediately calmed down and said loudly, "Your Majesty, Rong Bing, I received a report from Yu Da Ying, saying that Concubine Wan was suspected of having a secret meeting with a man outside the Imperial Garden. As the assistant to the Six Palaces, I naturally cannot tolerate any sand in my eyes, so I have to come here to investigate."

The emperor asked her without telling whether she was happy or angry, "How is the investigation going now?"

Hua Fei had something to rely on, and she continued to smile and said, "Yu promised that he would say that Wan Changzai was in a state of despair and talking to herself in the heavy rain five days ago, and that he did not come. Wan Changzai said that Yu promised that he had framed her. In my opinion, since this is related to the reputation of the royal family, I will send Wan Changzai's personal maid to the Ministry of Punishment, and the truth will naturally come to light."

The expression on the emperor's face was very interesting for a moment, as if he was happy, but suddenly he became gloomy as if he thought of something, and he scolded in a low voice: "I came to tell you that the person that Wan Chang had an appointment with that day was me. Today, you did not distinguish right from wrong, but rushed to convict Wan Chang. I am very disappointed. And you, Queen, I handed the harem to you, and you manage it like this? Yu Shi, you have repeatedly spoken nonsense and tarnished people's reputation. You are demoted to an official lady and moved out of Zhongcui Palace to live somewhere I can't see."

The emperor pulled Zhen Huan up from the ground and said, "You all should get up. This is just a farce today. Let's all end it."

Hua Fei felt an immediate irritation when she looked at Zhen Huan's hand, and then she felt even more embarrassed when she saw Zhen Huan's expression of "I see". She forced a half smile and said, "I know I was wrong. I was wondering why the Emperor had been going to the Imperial Garden so often recently and had caught a cold. It seemed like a gathering of talented scholars and beautiful women in the garden, and today it was a scene of a hero saving a beauty. I was overthinking it. I apologize to the Emperor and Sister Wan." After she finished speaking, she bowed deeply. Zhen Huan wanted to return the greeting, but the Emperor held her hand tightly and accepted Hua Fei's greeting.

The emperor was not prepared for Hua Fei to expose his little thoughts in public, and his face was very embarrassed, but Hua Fei had just finished attending to the sick, and he was in the wrong so he could not bear to blame her too much. Seeing that everyone was still watching, his face suddenly darkened: "Whoever dares to make irresponsible remarks about today's matter will be severely punished by me."

The Queen looked at Zhen Huan thoughtfully, then led everyone to bow and leave.

There were tears in Concubine Hua's eyes at this time. She looked at the Emperor stubbornly, then looked deeply at Zhen Huan, then turned around and left without looking back.

Yu Ying'er, who was lying on the ground, was dragged away by Xiao Xiazi.

As soon as everyone left, Zhen Huan immediately broke free from the emperor's hand and knelt down to pay her respects: "Your Highness, may the emperor be blessed with good health."

The Emperor pulled Zhen Huan up from the ground again and said, "I concealed my identity not on purpose. It was because people in the palace were very restrained when they saw me. I don't even have anyone to talk to in confidence in this palace. I don't want you to be afraid of me. There are reasons for this. Please forgive me."

Zhen Huan could not believe that the emperor would explain so much to her, so she immediately said shyly, "I heard that the emperor caught a cold, is he feeling better now?"

Seeing that she no longer mentioned the matter of pretending to be someone else, the emperor felt relieved and asked her, "I am standing in front of you now, but you are weak. I heard that you also came that day. Did you feel unwell after returning?"

The two of them poured out their hearts to each other in the Imperial Garden and felt even more connected. The Emperor even carried Zhen Huan all the way from the Imperial Garden back to the Sui Yuxuan, causing a sensation in the entire palace.

In Jingren Palace, the Queen wanted to write a few words quietly, but she was always upset. She threw the pen hard on the table and sighed softly:

"Jianqiu, accompany me to pay my respects to the Queen Mother."
