Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

Chapter 293: Calculating the Queen

Seeing Fang Ruo here, the Queen probably had an idea in her mind and thought that it would not be that easy.

Before the Queen could speak, Fang Ruo asked, "Why is the Queen here at this hour, when the dew is so deep?"

"Aunt Fangruo."

Seeing that it was Fang Ruo, the Queen's tone became calmer: "I heard that there seemed to be some movement in Xianyue Pavilion, so I came to take a look."

The noise was probably about Zhen Huan, but Fang Ruo had no idea how the Queen knew about it, but she could only pretend to be calm on the surface.

"I don't know what the noise was that startled the Queen and brought her here."

Fang Ruo looked at the queen with an innocent look on her face and said, "I have been guarding here the whole time, and I didn't hear any movement."

"I heard that someone broke into Xianyue Pavilion without permission."

The Queen's tone was as if the evidence was conclusive, and she ordered people to search the palace regardless of Fang Ruo's attempts to stop her.

Fortunately, Fang Ruo had been blocking the way in front of them: "Your Majesty, the Emperor has issued an order. Without the Emperor's order, no one can enter Xianyue Pavilion. Please understand me, Your Majesty, and obey the Emperor's order."

But the more Fang Ruo tried to stop her, the more the Queen suspected that there was someone in Xianyue Pavilion: "Is it really the Emperor's decree, or is there someone inside that you dare not let me in at all?"

Even though Fang Ruo was serving the emperor in front of the emperor, the queen was still the queen after all, and she could not be controlled by a servant.

Fortunately, the emperor came at this time.

She came with Concubine Hua.

"The Emperor has arrived!"

Hearing this loud shout, the queen calmed down and was no longer as arrogant as before.

"May your Majesty be blessed with peace and prosperity."

"I haven't even reached the gate of Xianyue Pavilion yet, but I heard a lot of noise inside. What's going on? It's the middle of the night, and the Queen is not staying in her own palace. What is she doing here in Xianyue Pavilion?!"

The emperor's tone sounded a little angry, as if he was very dissatisfied with the queen's behavior.

Faced with the emperor's questioning, the queen was speechless for a moment and stammered. It was Nian Shilan who spoke first.

"The Queen has always been in poor health. You came out in the middle of the night. Aren't you afraid of being blown by the wind? Is she having a headache?"

Nian Shilan's words were somewhat sarcastic, and it was obvious that she was trying to provoke the queen.

The queen became even angrier after hearing this: "Your Majesty, I heard that someone broke into Xianyue Pavilion without permission. Your Majesty also said before that no one is allowed to enter without your permission. I also obeyed your decree. I am afraid that there are people in the palace who dare to disobey your will and act recklessly."

Isn't it obvious that what the Queen said was about Zhen Huan? Of course, there is also Nian Shilan.

Although Zhen Huan was hiding, she heard everything they said clearly. In the current situation, she couldn't say a word.

"Is it true, as the Queen said, that someone really went in?" The Emperor looked at Fang Ruo before asking.

Compared to the Queen, the Emperor is now more willing to trust Fang Ruo.

"I have never seen anyone go in. The person coming in now must be the Empress."

"Has the Queen searched the palace yet?"

The emperor asked again.

After all, now that the Queen is here, he must give her an explanation, otherwise she will not give up. The Emperor is just asking this as a formality.

"No, I just wanted to go in and search, but Fangruo stopped me."

When the queen heard the emperor ask this, she thought she had a chance, so she quickly reported Fang Ruo to the emperor.

Nian Shilan was about to laugh when she heard this. The Queen really thought that the Emperor would help her. The Emperor was here just to go through the formalities.

"very good!"

The emperor immediately blurted out, "Fangruo, very good! Since Fangruo already knows that there is my decree that no one is allowed to enter, then why did the queen insist on going in?"

Turning around, the emperor questioned the queen.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I heard that someone broke into Xianyue Pavilion, so I came to take a look."

Seeing that the queen suffered a loss, Nian Shilan was really happy, so she decided to help her.

"Your Majesty, since we are here, why not let someone go in and take a look? This will also put Her Majesty at ease."

The emperor listened to Nian Shilan's words, but did not make a decision immediately. He thought for a while and said, "Okay, Su Peisheng."

"Whoo."

Immediately afterwards, everyone's eyes were on Su Peisheng, waiting for Su Peisheng to come out, and the result was as expected.

There's no one inside!

"Impossible, absolutely impossible! Obviously..."

Before she could finish her words, the queen suddenly stopped talking.

Then he stared at Nian Shilan: "Hua Fei! It's you! It's you!"

That’s right, Nian Shilan did it on purpose, just to make the emperor think that the queen was being unreasonable, and now her goal has been achieved.

It just so happens that the Emperor is here right now, and he can no longer bear to see the Queen in this state.

"Alright, Queen! What are you doing? What does this have to do with Concubine Hua? Did Concubine Hua ask you to come? Neither I nor Concubine Hua knew about this matter. It's just that I just arrived at the gate of Qingliang Palace and heard the news from Xianyue Pavilion, so I asked Concubine Hua to come along."

The emperor was obviously angry: "As the Empress, you ignored my order and visited the confined concubines privately, and even tried to put the blame on Concubine Hua. You really have ulterior motives!"

"Your Majesty, I, your concubine, do not have it."

No matter how eloquent the queen is, the emperor will not believe her. After all, the facts are now in front of him.

Thinking that the emperor was probably tired of listening, he waved his hand and told the queen to shut up.

"Okay, let's leave it at that for today. Fortunately, Fangruo stopped her, so the Queen didn't disobey her order. Reward Fangruo with three months' salary. The Queen should not come out these days. The weather is hot, so please take care of yourself."

It sounds nice, but the emperor is idle and the queen is annoyed. She is old and ugly and likes to act like a spoiled child. It is better for her to stay in the house and have peace and quiet.

After saying that, the emperor pulled Nian Shilan to leave, but Nian Shilan was unwilling to leave at this moment: "Your Majesty, I haven't seen Sister Jingpin for a long time. Now that I'm here, I want to go sit with Jingpin."

The emperor naturally agreed. Although he was angry with the queen, it had nothing to do with Nian Shilan, so he didn't have any emotions towards her.

In fact, Nian Shilan didn't really want to go and sit with Concubine Jing. She wanted to ask what was going on with Zhen Huan. Besides, she had a lot more to say to Zhen Huan!

You will have to know what to do next time!

Besides, if she followed the emperor back, he would inevitably stay in Qingliang Palace, and she didn't want to serve him. The weather was already hot, and if the two of them slept together, they would probably die.
