Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

Nian Shilan did not expect that Concubine Duan would speak up for her like this. In the past, Concubine Duan never interrupted and always stayed away from such unlucky matters. But this time, for her sake, Concubine Duan actually spoke up.

"Yes, what Concubine Duan said is not without reason. After all, this matter still needs to be scrutinized. Although the 10-foot-long beating is a punishment in the palace, these few boards are not enough to kill people. If it is said that it was Concubine Hua who did it, it cannot be so absolute."

The emperor quickly took advantage of Concubine Duan's words and looked at Zhang Mi and said, "Doctor Zhang, is there any progress?"

Originally, seeing Xia's miserable condition seemed strange, it didn't seem like it could be caused by a slash of red, so he asked Zhang Mi to check it out.

Hearing the emperor's question, Zhang Mi stepped forward, bowed, and said, "Your Majesty, in my humble opinion, Concubine Xia's lips are purple, as if she was poisoned. Perhaps, the cause of Concubine Xia's death was not only due to Concubine Hua's slash, but perhaps there was another reason."

According to what Zhang Mi said, Xia's death was caused by poisoning. Who poisoned her?

Nian Shilan knew that the person who poisoned her must be among these people. An Lingrong? Zhen Huan? Shen Meizhuang? The Queen?

In fact, there is no need to think about it. These people have just entered the palace. Who else could it be? I think the queen has the greatest motive.

However, we still don’t know who the real murderer is, and we can’t alert him.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I am innocent. I don't know who poisoned Sister Xia and tried to frame me." As Zhang Mi finished speaking, Nian Shilan was already crying and wiping her tears.

The emperor was not a fool. He knew at a glance that this action was an attempt to frame Nian Shilan. After all, the ten lashes of red were awarded by Concubine Hua, and everyone knew this. If Xia died at this time, it would undoubtedly be the reason for the ten lashes of red. Wasn't the purpose to use Xia Dongchun to bring down Nian Shilan?

The emperor now has a clear mind, but he just has no evidence.

"Su Peisheng, check for me! How could there be such unclean things in the palace?" The emperor ignored Zhang Mi and Nian Shilan who was crying beside him, but called Su Peisheng to investigate the matter.

"Whoo."

Su Peisheng is someone close to the emperor. Apart from Su Peisheng, the emperor doesn't trust anyone else. Anyone can be bribed, except Su Peisheng.

Just as the Emperor was giving instructions to Su Peisheng, what no one noticed was that the Queen's expression changed subtly.

The queen turned her head and looked at Jianqiu. Jianqiu didn't say anything, but just gave the queen a look in return. After that, the queen's expression became much gentler.

After everything was explained, there was no need for everyone to stay here any longer, so they all went back.

When Nian Shilan just returned to Yiku Palace, she heard Zhou Ninghai say that Concubine Wan was ill.

It was Sui Yuxuan who reported to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Jingshifang that Concubine Wan was ill and needed to rest, and would not be able to sleep with him for a while.

Sure enough, just like in the previous life, Zhen Huan was still sick. Could it be that she was frightened by Xia Dongchun’s incident?

Concubine Hua didn't like Zhen Huan in the first place, so she was sick, so it didn't matter since the Emperor's heart was with her now.

"Jinxi."

Nian Shilan called out, as if she had some errand for Jinxi to do.

"Since Concubine Wan is ill, you should go and see her with some supplements to show my care for her."

"Yes."

Looking at Nian Shilan's expression, Jinxi roughly understood that this was not about asking her to visit Wan Changzai, but just an excuse to find out what was going on over there.

Come to think of it, the reason why Concubine Wan got sick was strange. She just went to the cold palace and happened to see Xia Dongchun and then she got sick. Could she be so timid? I don't know if she was pretending or was really scared.

If she was really frightened and fell ill, then Zhen Huan would be useless.

"By the way, Jinxi, go check on that little Fuzi."

Nian Shilan suddenly remembered that the Queen had given Fu Zi to Zhen Huan, so she just let Jing Xi go over and keep an eye on her.

"Yes." Jin Xi bowed and quickly left.

It just so happened that Shen Meizhuang was also in Sui Yuxuan at this moment. Just now, Zhen Huan ran back without saying a word, and Shen Meizhuang didn't have time to come over quickly. Instead, she went to report to the Queen first. As soon as she finished dealing with the matters in the cold palace, she immediately rushed to Sui Yuxuan.

"Your young lady..." Seeing Zhen Huan sitting on the couch without saying a word, Shen Meizhuang was very worried. Could she really be scared?

"Our young master just came back from outside and became like this. She didn't say a word. I was very worried." Liuzhu said from the side.

After all, Zhen Huan is his elder sister, and he definitely cares about her.

"Doctor Wen..." Seeing that Wen Shichu was also here, Shen Meizhuang hurriedly asked Wen Shichu.

Wen Shichu and Zhen Huan have known each other for many years, so he naturally would not harm Zhen Huan. It can also be said that in Wen Shichu's view, Zhen Huan's safety is more important than his own life.

"My dear, Concubine Wan is fine. She was just frightened and needs to rest."

Wen Shichu answered.

In fact, Wen Shichu's answer was half true and half false, which was the most believable.

It is true that Zhen Huan was frightened, but it was not as serious as Wen Shichu said, and it was far from the point where she needed to rest.

Before Shen Meizhuang arrived just now, Zhen Huan had already told Wen Shichu not to say anything more. If anyone asked, he could just say that he was frightened and needed to rest.

The same goes for Shen Meizhuang.

It's not for any other reason. Zhen Huan had just entered the palace and was still young. She had already seen the intrigue and had to be careful.

"Since you've been frightened, you need to take good care of yourself and not walk around anymore. I tried to stop you just now, but you wouldn't listen. Well, forget it, you've been like this since you were a kid."

Shen Meizhu spoke in a doting tone, and didn't think Zhen Huan was being pretentious. As she spoke, she picked up the tranquilizer on the table and fed it to Zhen Huan bit by bit.

As they were talking, Huanbi came in and said that Jinxi was here.

He said he came to see Zhen Huan.

"Jinxi."

Zhen Huan was not familiar with this name and had never come into contact with her in her daily life. She didn't know why she came to see her.

"Jinxi is someone close to Concubine Hua, and the head maid of Yikun Palace."

Upon hearing this name, Shen Meizhuang put down the medicine in her hand. She was of course familiar with this name. The person she met when she went to Yiku Palace on the first day was none other than Jin Xi. She looked easy-going, but her eyes also revealed sophistication.
