Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

"Don't worry about who told me this. I just want to ask you if it's true." The Queen Mother's tone was a little impatient.

"Yes. It was Concubine Fang who was the first to offend Concubine Hua."

The Emperor did not want the Empress Dowager to scold Concubine Hua, so he quickly defended Concubine Hua. But it could not be said to be a defense, as that was the fact.

However, it was the Queen Mother who asked Concubine Hua to go to Suiyuxuan to take a look. If she hadn't forced Concubine Hua to go to Suiyuxuan, this wouldn't have happened.

"The Emperor should not bury himself in memorials all day long. He should come to the harem more often. Concubine Fang just lost her child. You should also take care of her more."

The Empress Dowager also didn't want the Emperor to neglect Concubine Fang just because of this child. After all, she came from a prominent family and was a member of the Manchu military flag.

"Yes, son knows." The emperor nodded and agreed, with no expression on his face. He had to listen to whatever the empress dowager said. As the emperor, he could not refute his mother.

"Let's go to Suiyuxuan tonight. It's been a while since you've been there. Even if you don't ask Concubine Fang to sleep with you, I think Concubine Fang will be happier if you go. It doesn't have to be like this."

Seeing that the emperor did not refute anything, the empress dowager continued to strike while the iron was hot.

It has to be said that Concubine Fang is really useless. After entering the palace, even the chance to sleep with the Empress Dowager has to be fought for by her.

In fact, it wasn’t because the Queen Mother liked her so much, she just felt uncomfortable and treated her better to make up for it.

The empress dowager knew exactly how her child was lost. She knew too well what kind of person her cousin's daughter was. However, the child was gone now and there was no point in pursuing the matter. After all, the position of empress still belonged to Ulanara.

This is an honor that must not be lost, and it is also the thing that the Queen Mother values ​​most in her life.

Since it was the Empress Dowager who said so, the Emperor still nodded in agreement.

It's not that I don't want to go, but Concubine Fang is also reluctant. Besides, when I see her, I will think of that child, who is exactly the same as the one born by Chunyuan back then, so it is inevitable that I will be reminded of the child.

"Okay, I'm tired too, go back and rest."

"Yes, my son is resigning."

Knowing that the emperor didn't want to talk, the empress dowager gave him a few simple instructions and let him go.

"Zhuxi, accompany me to Jingren Palace."

The emperor is gone, but the empress dowager is not idle either. The queen has done so many things, and she can't just ignore it.

"Yes."

"It's been a long time since I've walked around like this. It's quite comfortable to walk around like this occasionally. It's better than riding in a sedan chair."

Shoukang Palace was not far from Jingren Palace, so the empress dowager let Zhuxi support her as she walked over.

"What is the Queen Mother talking about? The Queen Mother is in good health. You can't say that. I don't like to hear it."

"Okay, okay, I won't say anything more."

When we arrived at Jingren Palace, it was already dark. Although it is spring, it still gets dark quickly.

Jiang Fuhai was guarding outside the door. He saw the empress dowager coming towards Jingren Palace from a distance, so he quickly went in to report it.

"Empress, the Queen Mother is coming towards Jingren Palace."

The Queen sat up when she heard it. It was getting late, and she hadn't thought about the Queen Mother coming back.

Besides, the Empress Dowager rarely comes to Jingren Palace on weekdays. Although Shoukang Palace and Jingren Palace are not far away from each other, the Empress Dowager likes quietness.

The queen didn't think much about it and hurried to the door to greet him.

"I send my regards to the Queen Mother."

"Get up."

The Queen Mother spoke in a calm tone, which made it difficult for the Queen to guess why she came today.

The Queen Mother walked straight into the hall and gave Zhuxi a wink, and all the palace maids and eunuchs were stopped outside the door by Zhuxi.

The Queen Mother knew everything the Queen had done. She couldn't just ignore it these days. It wasn't a good thing, lest people hear it and laugh at the Queen and the royal family.

Just as he sat down, the Queen followed in and wanted to sit down as well, but was interrupted by the Queen Mother.

"Kneel down."

"Empress Mother." The Queen looked innocent, not knowing what mistake she had made.

"I told you to kneel down."

The Queen Mother didn't say anything else, but just repeated what she had just said and seemed a little angry.

Since the Queen Mother asked her to kneel down, the Queen had no choice but to do so. However, judging from the situation, it didn't look like anything good was going to happen.

"My Queen Mother, what's the matter?"

The queen asked quickly.

The Queen Mother smiled contemptuously, with a hint of sarcasm. Although she usually didn't ask much about the affairs in the harem, the Queen in front of her treated her as a fool, deaf and blind.

Looking at the queen's face, the queen mother also bent down and moved closer: "Don't think that I don't know what you have done. I know how many lives you have on your hands better than you do."

The Queen Mother said this, but there was no evidence anyway, so the Queen would naturally not admit it. "What are you talking about, Queen Mother? I devote myself to worshipping Buddha all day long, how could I have killed someone? Amitabha, I would never do such a cruel thing."

The queen was right. She did worship Buddha, copy scriptures, and write all day long, but these did not affect her from doing bad things.

"I just turned a blind eye. I thought that it was not easy for Ulanara and Uya to get to where they are today. Now they are the mothers of the country. What else are you not satisfied with?"

As soon as the emperor ascended the throne, the empress dowager made Yixiu the queen, and it was also her way of helping her cousin daughter as an aunt.

"My Queen Mother, I don't have any."

The queen was still making excuses with an innocent look on her face.

"You know it in your heart, and I know it too. I know everything you have done, including how Chunyuan died."

The Queen Mother actually knew all this long ago, but she just couldn't say it. If the Emperor knew all this, especially the cause of Chun Yuan's death, Yi Xiu would definitely not be able to become the Queen.

Even if I were the queen mother, I couldn't persuade her.

The queen never thought that even with her meticulous thoughts, she still couldn't escape the eyes of the empress dowager.

But he was not afraid. After all, the Queen Mother was his cousin and came from the same family as him, so she would naturally help him.

Only she could preserve the glory of the Ulanara and Uya clans, and this was also what the Queen Mother wanted.

The queen did not refute anything. She just lowered her head and listened to the empress dowager, and acquiesced.

"I have already asked the Emperor to go to Suiyuxuan tonight, so you don't need to look at the records in the Jingshifang."

The Queen Mother even knew that the Queen checked the records every day. As a woman, especially the legal wife, it was inevitable that she would be jealous, and the Queen Mother understood.

"But, Concubine Fang has not recovered yet, so she cannot serve the emperor."

The Queen was surprised. Logically, Concubine Fang should have been recuperating well, at least she couldn't serve the Queen in the emperor's bedchamber. She didn't know why the Queen Mother made such arrangements.

"I didn't ask her to sleep with me, but she just lost her child, so it's only right for the emperor to visit her often. After all, she is a member of the Tonggiya clan."

The Queen also understood what she said. It turned out that the Queen Mother was making plans for the Emperor every step of the way.
