Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

"My son, I see that the Empress Dowager is in a good mood, but what is there to be happy about?"

The emperor stood up and asked quickly, could it be that the empress dowager had some good news to share with him?

"Your Majesty has good foresight. Now that the matter has been resolved, I can feel relieved. I do have something to tell you."

Sure enough, with a plan in hand, the Queen Mother's tone became more relaxed.

"Regarding the Xia family's matter, I have already thought of a countermeasure. It will not lose the dignity of the royal family, nor will it implicate Concubine Hua. I have already arranged for someone from the imperial kitchen to take the blame. This matter is not difficult. It's just a matter of arranging someone to give an explanation to the Xia family."

"What does the emperor think?" The empress dowager looked at the emperor and asked again.

"My son has promised Xia Wei and Zhang Tingyu to find out who poisoned Xia. If we follow the Empress Dowager's plan and push the Imperial Kitchen out, I'm afraid it won't be enough to stop the gossips. Will those people think that our emperor is too perfunctory and doesn't take life seriously?"

In fact, the emperor still had his own concerns. He just felt that if he pushed the imperial kitchen to take the blame, Nian Shilan's punishment might be...

I also don't want Nian Shilan to bear such a big fault. This matter has already been unfair to her.

"Your Majesty's concerns are true, but we also have to think about it. If you, the emperor, really go to investigate this matter, if you really find out who the real culprit is, of course, I think it would be best if there is no one, but if it is true, it will inevitably lose the dignity of the royal family. Has the emperor ever thought about this problem?"

The Queen Mother tried to dissuade him in every possible way just to protect the Queen. After all, if this matter was really traced back to the Queen, that person would be in great disgrace.

As the mother of a country, if she was always suppressed by concubines and felt resentment, it would be so embarrassing if the news got out. Wouldn't people laugh at the incompetence of this queen and the incompetence of the Queen Ulanara?

Although the Queen is quite experienced, if the Emperor wants to investigate, he will definitely get to the bottom of it. If you don't want others to know, then don't do it. Even if the Queen is very careful, there will definitely be some places where she will be exposed.

"It's just that my son feels that this is too unfair to Concubine Hua."

In fact, the emperor knew that the empress dowager's strategy was the best one, but at the moment, there was really no other way.

"Then let's do as the Empress Dowager says. But my son is thinking that since Hua Fei will definitely be wronged in this matter, the Empress can't just say she is free from responsibility."

In fact, the emperor is not a fool. He also knows that the queen must have some reasons, but Nian Shilan cannot be left alone to handle this matter.

Although it is impossible to find the real culprit of the poisoning in the short term and punish him legitimately, this matter certainly cannot be left unresolved, and Nian Shilan’s grievances must not be in vain.

"What does the emperor think?" After hearing what the emperor meant, the empress dowager thought that she would also ask the empress for something.

But it's normal. After all, even Concubine Hua is like this. It's better this way. It would be best if the Queen could learn her lesson and not act so rashly in the future.

Just deal with the queen, as long as her position is not shaken. I believe the emperor should also know his limits.

"My son thought, maybe we should punish Feng, or give him some other punishment, after all, the Queen is the Empress, and it must be her fault that things turned out like this."

In fact, it doesn't matter whether the Queen punishes or not, because after all, there is no evidence against the Queen in this matter. But the Emperor knows that the Queen and Concubine Hua have always been at odds. If Concubine Hua is wronged because of this matter, who knows how the Queen will ridicule her. He cannot let Nian Shilan be hurt a second time because of this matter.

"Well, since the emperor knows his limits, let's arrange it this way and appease the Xia family. Just don't let people think that our royal family is stingy."

"Yes, my son understands."

After some discussion between mother and son, the matter was basically settled, but they didn't know whether doing so would achieve a satisfactory result.

Sure enough, the imperial edict arrived early the next morning.

"The imperial edict has arrived."

Su Peisheng, Xiao Xiazi and others came to Yikun Palace holding the imperial edict.

As soon as they heard that it was an imperial edict, the people from Yikun Palace hurried out to receive it.

The emperor also said that this matter would be unfair to him. He said it just yesterday, and now the imperial edict has come. No matter what the result is, Nian Shilan is mentally prepared.

But when I heard that I was demoted to a concubine, I couldn't help but tremble in my heart. Fortunately, the title was not revoked, but only a demotion, which was not a big shame. However, I also knew that the emperor had to do this.

"My lady, please accept my order."

Nian Shilan knelt on the ground in a daze for a long time. It was only after Su Peisheng reminded her a few times that she came to her senses.

"The concubine accepts the order."

Seeing Nian Shilan's lonely look, Su Peisheng and Cui Jinxi quickly helped Concubine Hua up.

"Your Highness, please don't take it personally. This matter is actually a dilemma for the Emperor as well. He still feels sorry for you, but the censors outside are also very aggressive. The Emperor had to do this to shut them up. Your Highness, don't worry. As long as the Emperor has you in his heart, everything will be fine."

Nian Shilan is always very polite to Su Peisheng on weekdays, so when Nian Shilan encounters any problems, Su Peisheng is willing to help her.

Su Peisheng knew this very clearly. When the emperor was in Shoukang Palace, although he was outside the door, he heard everything the emperor and the empress dowager said.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please do not misunderstand the Emperor. Because of this matter, the Emperor has punished the Empress as well. How could the Emperor be willing to punish only the Empress?"

"Yes, thank you, Eunuch Su."

Hearing that the queen was also punished, I felt much better and didn't feel so sad anymore. I must go and take a good look at the queen later.

"If your Majesty has no other instructions, I will leave."

Su Peisheng naturally had to step down, as he still had to rush to Jingren Palace to convey the imperial edict.

Nian Shilan smiled, nodded, and let Su Peisheng leave.

"Songzhi, pack up, it's time for us to go to Jingren Palace to pay our respects."

As soon as Su Peisheng left, Nian Shilan also prepared to pack up and go out.

"Yes."

"No matter what the Queen's position is, the Queen is still the Queen. The Emperor has the Queen in his heart, so the Queen is naturally the most favored in the six palaces. No matter what the Queen's position is, those servants are definitely not as beautiful as the Queen."
