Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

Jiang Fuhai and Jianqiu couldn't bear to watch it anymore, "Fujin, are you okay?" Jianqiu asked with concern. Seeing Yixiu didn't say anything, Jianqiu said, "In fact, what Fujin Nian said may not be right. Maybe it was Concubine De who asked the prince to come to the palace. Maybe there is something else."

These words seemed to wake Yixiu up. Yes, Concubine De, Yinzhen’s biological mother and Yixiu’s cousin!

"Let's go into the palace and visit Concubine De." Yixiu ordered and set off immediately.

"Yes."

……

When he arrived at the palace gate, Yinzhen felt uneasy, "How did this matter reach the ears of the Emperor?" Yinzhen looked at Su Peisheng.

"I don't know, Your Majesty. I have followed you since I was a child and have always been loyal to you. I won't tell anyone." Su Peisheng was so scared that he kept explaining, fearing that Yinzhen would mistakenly think that he had done it.

Seeing Su Peisheng so frightened, Yinzhen said again, "I know it's not you, could it be those palace maids? Or servants?"

"They shouldn't have done that. I have already given you the money you should have given. Besides, you are the prince, so they dare not say anything nonsense." Su Peisheng was also puzzled, but he knew that it was not the palace maid who did it.

"Forget it, let's go in and we'll know everything." Yinzhen straightened his clothes, looked up at the palace in front of him, took a deep breath, and walked straight in.

Li Dequan stood at the door of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, pacing back and forth, waiting for Yinzhen.

"Eunuch Li." Yinzhen greeted him. Li Dequan at the door saw Yinzhen and bowed. "Your Highness, you are here. The Emperor is inside."

Li Dequan looked anxious, as if something serious had happened.

"Sir, do you know if there are other people inside?" Yinzhen asked Li Dequan again.

"Eighth Master and Tenth Master are both in there." Li Dequan's expression seemed to tell Yinzhen to be careful.

Hearing the name of the Eighth Master, Yinzhen and Su Peisheng looked at each other. Why was the Eighth Master in there? It would be fine if the Tenth Master was in there, but the Eighth Master was in there, this... Yinzhen seemed to sense something was wrong.

"Please, Eunuch Li, pass the message on for me." Yinzhen said politely. He would know everything once he went in.

After a while, Yinzhen received the order to enter the palace. At this moment, his heart was hanging.

The moment the door of the Hall of Mental Cultivation opened, a teacup flew over and smashed into pieces on the ground, causing the emperor to become furious.

"Your Majesty, please calm down." The three said in unison.

"My son is stupid and doesn't know why the emperor is so angry." Yinzhen was already sweating coldly at this moment.

"Oh? Don't you know? Have you forgotten what you did last night so quickly?" A man's voice rang in Yinzhen's ears. This voice was full of daggers! It was Yinsi!

The emperor did not speak, waiting for Yinzhen's answer...

Yonghe Palace is a historic…

"Hurry, Aunt Zhuxi, please go and tell her that I want to see Concubine De." Yixiu trotted to the gate of Yonghe Palace, her breathing still a little heavy.

"Yes, Madam, don't worry, I will go right away." After saying this, Zhuxi hurried in. What important matter must have happened that made her so anxious?

"Your Majesty, Prince Yong's wife is outside the door asking to see you."

"Yixiu?" Concubine De stopped spinning the Buddhist beads in her hand, opened her eyes, and saw Zhuxi nodded, "Let her in quickly, I'm looking for her."

She let out a long sigh and closed her eyes, as if she was angry. It seemed that she had been waiting for Yixiu for a long time.

"I pay my respects to the Empress Defei." Yixiu looked anxious and couldn't keep her composure at all.

"Get up, and all of you leave." Defei sent everyone away, leaving only Defei and Yixiu in the room.

"Your Majesty, do you know that the prince has entered the palace? I was sitting here early in the morning when I was called to the palace. Has the prince been here?" Yixiu looked around, but did not see Yinzhen or any trace of him. She turned to look at Concubine De. She wished that Concubine De would say the three words "She was here."

"Don't look, he hasn't been here. The emperor should have asked him to come. I have heard a little about what happened last night. What is the origin of that palace maid? She was so bold that she dared to seduce the prince. Where is she now?" Defei said as she patted the table.

"Don't be angry, madam. She is just a palace maid. Her name is Li Jingui. She used to work at Tonghuatai. Last night, the prince and his tenth brother were drinking at Tonghuatai. It's a coincidence that this palace maid looks a bit like my sister. The prince may have drunk too much, and then..."

Seeing that Concubine De didn't say anything, Yixiu continued, "But now the prince has sent her to work in the Old Summer Palace."

"Old Summer Palace?" Defei looked at Yixiu.

Yixiu nodded firmly, and Defei was relieved. "Forget it, since we are going to the Old Summer Palace, let's go. The fourth son is really confused."

"The emperor asked the prince to enter the palace this time. Could it be that he was angry? Will the prince..." Yixiu was afraid that Yinzhen would be stripped of his title and would no longer have the possibility of competing for the throne.

"No, although the emperor is angry, it won't be that serious. What the emperor hates most are those who form cliques and kill each other. As for the fourth brother's matter, it will be enough to just scold him." Knowing that it was nothing serious, Concubine De's tone calmed down.

……

Prince Yong's Palace...

Everyone was doing their work in the yard. Songzhi quietly walked into Nian Shilan's room without anyone noticing. After entering, she closed the door.

"Madam, I'm back." Songzhi walked up to Nian Shilan.

Seeing Songzhi coming back, Nian Shilan took a bite of the crab meat crisp in her hand, leaned back in her chair, and said lightly: "What did you find out?" Nian Shilan listened quietly to Songzhi's report. She knew everything and just thought she was listening for fun.

"I heard that the prince favored a palace maid from Tonghuatai. She was extremely ugly, but her eyebrows and eyes looked a bit like the late wife. I wonder if this is the reason." Upon hearing this, Nian Shilan smiled lightly, and the smile flashed by.

Is there any need to ask? Looking around this palace, which woman doesn't have a bit of the shadow of the late wife? But what she doesn't know is that among the many women in this palace, she is the only one who doesn't have the shadow of the late wife. Nian Shilan is Nian Shilan, she is unique!

Songzhi continued, "I was just about to come back when I saw the prince's figure heading towards the Yangxin Palace in the distance. I followed him quietly and listened for a while. It seemed that the Eighth Master and the Tenth Master were also inside."

"Oh?" These words aroused Nian Shilan's interest. She put down the crab cake in her hand and listened carefully. "What did the emperor say? What is his attitude?"

Songzhi frowned and pouted, "It's strange. The emperor only reprimanded the prince, but severely reprimanded the eighth master and even confined him. But it was the eighth master who told the emperor about this. I don't understand why the emperor still reprimanded him."
