Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

"My lady, the emperor said that now that you are a concubine, you should be the main lady and live in the main palace, so tomorrow, my lady will move to Chuxiu Palace."

Su Peisheng had a smile on his face and was congratulating Shen Meizhuang on her happiness.

"Thank you, father-in-law."

Su Peisheng bowed and left, but just as he reached the door, he saw Caiyue coming with Doctor Wen.

He and Doctor Wen exchanged polite greetings and didn't ask any more questions.

However, this incident also left a shadow of doubt in Su Peisheng's heart.

When Caiyue first went to invite Wen Shichu, Wen Shichu didn't think much about it and thought that Shen Meizhuang was feeling unwell. Although he was wholeheartedly in love with Zhen Huan, he was familiar with Shen Meizhuang after a few interactions.

"I pay my respects to the noble lady Hui."

As soon as Wen Shichu came in, he paid his respects to the drunk Shen Meizhuang, but he didn't know that he should change his words and call her Concubine Hui.

"My lady, why is Eunuch Su here at this hour?"

Caiyue asked, and then saw the imperial edict in Shen Meizhuang's hand, and said, "But what did the emperor order again?"

"The Emperor has promoted me to Concubine Hui."

Shen Meizhuang spoke slowly and turned to look at Wen Shichu again: "Shichu, come, have a drink with me, don't you want to congratulate me?"

Seeing this, Caiyue had nothing else to say. Of course she couldn't stay here anymore, so she quickly closed the door and took the rest of the people out.

Now, only Shen Meizhuang and Wen Shichu were in the room.

"Is your Majesty feeling unwell?"

Wen Shichu asked cautiously.

He also knew that as the emperor's concubine, it was inappropriate for Shen Meizhuang to be alone in the same room with him. "If your majesty has nothing else to do, I will withdraw first."

After saying this, Wen Shichu was about to leave.

But Shen Meizhuang grabbed his hand and said, "Shichu, don't go."

This frightened Wen Shichu so much that he broke into a cold sweat: "Your Majesty, you can't do that."

But before Wen Shichu could finish, Shen Meizhuang spoke again: "Although you are an imperial physician, you can cure diseases but not the heart."

Wen Shichu probably understood what Shen Meizhuang meant. "I will obey your Majesty's orders. As long as your Majesty asks, I will go through mountains of swords and seas of fire and die without hesitation."

Knowing that Shen Meizhuang was upset, Wen Shichu could only comfort her with his limited strength.

"Have a drink with me."

As she spoke, Shen Meizhuang poured Wen Shichu a cup.

It was after drinking this glass of wine that Wen Shichu suddenly felt dizzy. He could taste from one sip that this wine had aphrodisiac effects.

"My lady, this wine..."

He originally thought that Shen Meizhuang did it on purpose, so he asked this question, but it was the Queen Mother who made it happen.

"Shichu."

Shen Meizhuang didn't say much. She fell into Wen Shichu's arms under the influence of alcohol. Now, she was considered bold for once.

What else is there to say? Both of them are full of vigor and vitality, so it is normal for some sparks to fly.

That night, Wen Shichu did not leave Xianfu Palace.

It was not until the next morning that Concubine Jing heard about Shen Meizhuang's promotion to Concubine Hui, so she came to congratulate Shen Meizhuang as soon as she woke up.

But he was stopped outside the door by Caiyue.

"Good luck to Concubine Jing. Concubine Hui hasn't woken up yet. Please come back later."

Caiyue said this, but Concubine Jing could also see the nervousness on Caiyue's face.

"Normally, Huipin should have gotten up early at this time. Why is she so sleepy today? Are you feeling unwell?"

Concubine Jing asked with concern, but this was also a test from Concubine Jing. She felt that things were not that simple.

"To answer your Majesty's question, the Queen Mother gave you some wine yesterday and you got drunk, so you wanted to sleep a little."

"Oh, I understand."

After saying that, Concubine Jing went back first, but she also felt that there was something fishy about this matter. She just didn't say it, but she was always keeping an eye on it in her room.

Sure enough, not long after she left, Caiyue knocked on the door, then quietly went in and closed the door tightly.

But not long after, Wen Shichu came out.

Concubine Jing understood everything instantly and had some guesses. This was a serious crime punishable by the execution of nine generations of the clan.

There is no substantial evidence, and Concubine Jing doesn't dare to talk nonsense.

"How much did Sister Shen drink? Caiyue invited Doctor Wen here early in the morning."

Concubine Jing smiled and spoke incoherently.

No one mentioned this matter again after that, but she never forgot it.

After Shen Meizhuang got up, she moved to Chuxiu Palace, and Concubine Jing helped her a lot inside and outside.

After Shen Meizhuang moved to Chuxiu Palace, it was no longer convenient for Concubine Jing to pay attention to Shen Meizhuang's every word and action.

"Songzhi, go get the records from the Jingshifang."

Nian Shilan gave the order.

It has been a month since Shen Meizhuang was promoted to concubine. Before, Shen Meizhuang was unwilling to get close to the emperor, but for some reason, she is willing to do so now.

The emperor also visited her often, and Nian Shilan wanted to see how many times she had been favored by the emperor in this month.

Songzhi hurried there after hearing Nian Shilan's instructions.

Now that Nian Shilan has been restored to the position of noble concubine, the people in the Jingshifang are trying to curry favor with her. Seeing Songzhi go there, aren't they eager to serve her?

"Aunt Songzhi, why are you here at this time?"

Xu Jinliang came up to Songzhi with a smile on his face.

"I am here to get the records from the Imperial Household Department under the order of the Imperial Concubine."

As soon as Songzhi opened her mouth, what else was there to say? Xu Jinliang had already found it out eagerly.

"Ah, it's really strange. The emperor goes to Chuxiu Palace seven or eight times a month, but he never stays at Concubine Hui's place. I really don't know what the emperor is thinking."

Xu Jinliang just mentioned this nonsense.

But the speaker may not have intended it, but the listener took it to heart, and Songzhi silently took note of it in her heart.

However, Songzhi didn't say anything. She took the record and turned around and left. She knew that Nian Shilan was waiting in Yikun Palace.

"Mother, look."

When Songzhi just came back, she didn't mention what Xu Jinliang said. After all, she didn't know whether it was true or not. She decided to wait until Nian Shilan read through the file before saying anything.

Records showed that the Emperor mostly stayed in the Yikun Palace over the past month, followed by An Lingrong and the Queen.

"Why hasn't Huipin done it once?"

Nian Shilan also found it strange. She knew that the emperor had been going to Chuxiu Palace frequently recently, but why was there no record of him going there even once?

Could it be that the Jingshifang leaked it, or was it due to some other reason?

"Your Highness, when I went to the Jingshifang just now, I heard Xu Jinliang say this. I don't think it's necessarily true, but it's also recorded in the file, so it's somewhat credible."

Songzhi also found it strange.

However, this did attract Jinxi's attention.
