Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

Before Xin Changzai could speak, Duan Fei asked first. She also wanted to see if Jingren Palace had any bad intentions, and she became subconsciously alert.

This Jianqiu has been following the Queen for a long time, and no one knows how many bad things he has done. Just looking at his face, one can see that he is sinister and cunning.

The reason why Concubine Duan asked first was that she wanted to protect Concubine Xin and Xuanshu. After all, she was also a concubine. If something really happened, she could also protect them.

Jianqiu bowed and said, "The Queen asked me to come and give Princess Xuanshu a birthday gift."

Xin Changzai and Concubine Duan felt something was wrong when they heard it. They looked at each other, and Concubine Duan continued, "Didn't the Queen deliver it two days ago? Look, it's right there. Why did it come again today? Maybe the Queen remembered it wrongly?"

Concubine Duan felt something was wrong and didn't want to accept it, so she thought of reasons to decline.

Jianqiu also heard it, and then explained: "Empress Duan has misunderstood. This gift is far from being sent by the Empress. It is sent by Wan Changzai of Sui Yuxuan. It's just that she is sick now and it is inconvenient for her to go out, so she asked the Empress to send it off."

Jian Qiu smiled and continued, "It's just that as you know, Concubine Duan has been busy in the palace recently, and the Empress is already too busy to handle it. That's why she only asked me to come here today. I hope Concubine Xin won't forget it."

Jianqiu's words really embarrassed Xin Changzai. Since it was the Empress who ordered it to be sent, Xin Changzai certainly couldn't say anything, even if she came late.

"Miss Jianqiu, you are joking. Please thank the Queen and Concubine Wan for me."

Xin Chang spoke politely on the side.

"Since there is nothing else, I will take my leave first."

After saying this, Jianqiu left.

Concubine Duan and Concubine Xin were left in the two women's room. After Jianqiu left, the two did not say anything immediately, but instead praised the Queen.

Concubine Duan knew Jianqiu very well, and she was just afraid that Jianqiu might eavesdrop at the door. If the Queen got to her ears, who knows what would happen to her.

"Sister, I don't come into contact with these things often. Please help me take a look."

It was after a while that Xin Changzai gave the necklace to Concubine Duan. She didn't trust the Queen and that Concubine Wan, but she could trust Concubine Duan. She had lived with Concubine Duan since she entered the palace. Concubine Duan's character was definitely trustworthy.

Concubine Duan took it and took a closer look. There was nothing wrong with it. This Concubine Wan fell ill when she first entered the palace, so it seems that she has no bad intentions.

Originally, Concubine Duan had only seen Zhen Huan a few times since she first entered the palace, let alone Xuan Shu. Concubine Wan didn't have to send this gift. I guess she heard about Xuan Shu's birthday from somewhere and felt it would be embarrassing not to send one.

"This collar is pretty good. I think Wan Chang takes good care of it. You should keep it well and don't let her kindness go to waste. But..."

Concubine Duan paused for a moment and continued, "Now that this gift was sent by Jianqiu, who is by the Queen's side, we still don't know what the relationship between Concubine Wan and the Queen is. We still have to be careful and not get too close."

In fact, Concubine Duan’s analysis was correct. If they were not close, why would the Queen help Zhen Huan deliver things?

Zhen Huan didn't have a very good time in Sui Yuxuan these few days, especially after hearing that everyone was suffering from abdominal pain. Fortunately, Shen Meiyu got better and got over it, so Zhen Huan didn't have to worry so much.

"Sister, your complexion is much more rosy than the past two days. I think your body will recover soon."

Zhen Huan looked at Shen Meizhuang and said, "I didn't know what happened the past two days, but I was scared at that time."

"Look, now I can come to see you, which means you're much better." Shen Meizhuang also replied with a smile.

"I heard that safflower powder was mixed into this palace banquet. Have you found out who did it?"

Zhen Huan asked for a long time. It would be best if they found out now. If they still didn't know, it would be really dangerous. But she didn't know what the purpose of this time was.

Shen Meizhuang also knew something. After she got better, she sent people to inquire about it. She did find out something: "I heard that it was Linglong, the maidservant beside Lipin, who often went to the imperial kitchen during Princess Xuanshu's birthday. I guess Lipin is also involved in this matter, although she hasn't admitted it yet."

"But Linglong has been sent to the Ministry of Punishment. I know that place. It's very scary. Even a dead person would vomit something if they went in, let alone a little girl like Linglong."

Although she had never met Linglong before, there was still a hint of worry on Shen Meizhuang's face.

"What about Concubine Li?" Zhen Huan asked again.

Since this incident happened, it is not a good thing after all, and it would not sound good if it were spread out. The emperor would definitely not let people spread it everywhere, so it is normal that Zhen Huan is not aware of this matter.

"Since that day, Lipin has been under house arrest. I don't know how she is doing in Qixiang Palace now."

But who can be blamed for this? It's just Lipin's own fault.

Kang Luhai heard Shen Meizhuang's words carefully. He came in with tea and said, "Lady Shen, have some tea."

Seeing that it was Kang Luhai who came to bring tea, Shen Meizhuang was stunned. This was the first time she had seen Kang Luhai since she entered the palace. But now that Kang Luhai was still there, Shen Meizhuang had nothing to say.

After Kang Luhai left, Shen Meizhuang lowered her voice and asked, "Is the eunuch just now the one newly assigned to you by the Ministry of Internal Affairs?"

But Shen Meizhuang thought it was strange. Logically, these palace maids and eunuchs were divided as soon as they entered the palace. Moreover, Zhen Huan had not been promoted or favored yet. The people in the Imperial Household Department would definitely not be so kind.

When it comes to Kang Luhai, Zhen Huan has something to say. She said disdainfully, "Well, it's Kang Luhai. He was always lazy as hell before, but now I don't know what happened, he has become diligent."

Huanbi and Liuzhu knew what was going on, so they interrupted, "Yes, young lady, Kang Luhai has been very attentive recently. Before, he couldn't be called even in the room, but now he's like a different person, doing everything himself. Could it be that he has finally found his conscience?"

Huanbi said this with a look of sarcasm on her face. The impression Kang Luhai left on her before was that he didn't seem like someone who could do such a good thing.

After listening to their words, Shen Meizhuang thought for a while. Zhen Huan must be a bystander who is confused by the situation.
