Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

Chapter 239: Concealing the truth

"This girl, what a jerk! I just said a few words to her. If she had run away out of anger, it would have been fine. But why did she die in the Imperial Garden?"

As soon as Xiao Yunzi finished speaking, Zhen Huan followed suit, and the palace maids around her did the same.

Seeing this, Nian Shilan knew that she would not be able to get anything out of Zhen Huan, so she might as well just let the matter be resolved.

"Well, if that's the case, I know now. Since you all say so, I can go back to the Emperor."

After saying this, Concubine Hua took Concubine Duan away.

"Farewell, ladies."

Originally, Nian Shilan was thinking about asking Kang Luhai to come out and ask, but seeing so many people in Sui Yuxuan, it would be inconvenient to ask Kang Luhai to come out. Fu Zi was killed because he was discovered. If something happened to Kang Luhai again, it would be even more difficult for Zi to understand Zhen Huan's every move.

However, it doesn't matter what the result is. Even with the current result, the emperor will be informed of it. Besides, Zhen Huan has not yet been favored by the emperor. Even if it is really proved that it was Zhen Huan who did it, what can it do? The emperor probably still won't be willing to kill her.

If you want to get rid of Zhen Huan, you can't be in a hurry. It is better to wait and work with Prince Guo to cut the grass and eradicate it completely.

"Sister, what do you think about this?"

Nian Shilan asked Concubine Duan as they walked, wanting to hear what Concubine Duan thought, and perhaps if there was a better way to deal with Zhen Huan.

"Just now when I was at Suiyuxuan, I noticed that Concubine Wan might not be completely unaware of Fuzi's death. When you were asking questions just now, I noticed that Huanbi and Xiao Yunzi's eyes were more clever than each other."

Concubine Duan thought for a while and said, although Zhen Huan and the others said they didn't know, it could be seen from their expressions whether they had anything to do with this matter.

"It turns out that my sister also noticed it. However, since Sui Yuxuan refuses to admit it, there is nothing we can do. After all, we have no evidence to prove that Sui Yuxuan did it. I thought, why not report this to the emperor first? That way, we can have an explanation for Fuzi as well. We can bury the dead as they should be buried. At least she can rest in peace."

What Nian Shilan said makes sense. As long as this matter is not resolved, Fu Zi cannot be buried. It would be bad if something unexpected happens at that time.

"Okay, let's do everything according to what my sister says."

Concubine Duan also agreed with this.

In fact, it would be beneficial to Concubine Duan if this matter was resolved as soon as possible.

Concubine Duan was not favored to begin with, and this incident would allow the Emperor to see her efficiency and solidify her right to cooperate with the six palaces, which would also leave the Empress speechless.

After coming out of Suiyuxuan, Concubine Duan and Nian Shilan went to the Yangxin Palace together.

"Eunuch Su."

The two men arrived at the entrance of the Palace of Tranquil Longevity, and Su Peisheng happened to be guarding the door, so they greeted him.

"Your servant pays respects to Concubine Hua and Concubine Duan."

Seeing the two, Su Peisheng quickly stepped forward to stop them: "Your Majesty, the Queen is inside now. Let me go and tell her first."

After hearing this, Nian Shilan understood that this queen really loved to hang out in the Yangxin Palace. Why did she come to the Yangxin Palace out of the blue?

I think Concubine Hua and Concubine Duan both understood the reasoning. They looked at each other and everything was self-explanatory.

Soon Su Peisheng came out and said that the emperor called him in, but the queen had not come out yet.

"I pay my respects to His Majesty the Emperor and to His Majesty the Empress."

Seeing that the Queen was still in the palace and had no intention of leaving, he paid his respects to her first.

"Why are you two here? Is there any progress?"

The emperor asked as he flipped through the memorial in his hand.

The queen was listening on the side. At any other time, she would have left long ago as she was a considerate person. But she didn't leave now. Maybe she wanted to listen on purpose. After all, Fu Zi was still hers.

There should be an explanation at least, and we can also see whether Zhen Huan is an enemy or a friend.

"Your Majesty is wise. I and Sister Duanfei have already investigated and found that Fuzi brought this upon himself."

Concubine Hua was thinking that this was a good opportunity to report Fu Zi's matter to the Queen.

"It's all your own fault? How can you say that?"

After hearing the emperor's question, Nian Shilan felt relieved, but she did not continue speaking. Instead, she gave Concubine Duan a look.

Concubine Duan could also understand immediately: "Your Majesty, I have already investigated. This Fuzi entered the palace more than half a year ago, but he has always stayed with the Empress. Later, he went to Wan Chang's place."

"Indeed, this Fuzi was originally selected by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. I kept her by my side because I saw that she was quite smart."

When the queen heard that this matter involved herself, she hurried to speak, but she was thinking about how to quickly distance herself from it.

"Since Fuzi has always been by the Queen's side, she must have some extraordinary qualities. How could the Queen bear to let her go to Suiyuxuan?"

Since the Queen had admitted it, Concubine Duan had to strike while the iron was hot: "Besides, I heard from the people in Suiyuxuan that Fuzi had been sneaking around in Suiyuxuan, which led to the situation today..."

"Sneaky?" the emperor and empress said in unison.

Although they both said the same thing, they were thinking different things. The queen was more guilty, while the emperor was the one with real doubts.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I also heard about it from Xiao Yunzi in Suiyuxuan. Since Fuzi went to Suiyuxuan, he either stayed in the corridor or looked into Suiyuxuan with a sneaky look. I think Fuzi is not that simple."

Nian Shilan quickly interrupted.

The Queen knew in her heart that Fuzi must have been discovered, but she was at a disadvantage in this matter and could not say anything for Fuzi.

"Queen, do you know about this?"

The emperor understood clearly in his heart that this matter must be related to the queen, so he asked quickly.

After hearing what the emperor said, the queen quickly knelt down and cried out that she was innocent. However, this incident could not prove that Fu Zi and the queen had any relationship. After all, no one had seen Fu Zi and the queen together.

Even if Nian Shilan knew, she couldn't tell anyone. After all, she was also reborn. If the people in the palace knew about this, who knows how they would regard her as a monster.

"Have you found out how Fuzi died?"

The emperor then went on to ask if it would be best not to let Fu Zi’s affairs involve Sui Yuxuan.
