The Empress of Zhen Huan Reborn

When the Emperor and Wen promised to arrive at the Suiyu Pavilion, Zhen Huan was playing with the Seventh Prince and the Third Princess. The two little guys had grown up a little and were pestering Zhen Huan, "Mother...Mother...play hide-and-seek with us..."

When Zhen Huan saw the emperor coming here in a rage, she couldn't help but sneer in her heart. Ha... the so-called favor is nothing but this. He mobilized a large army to come to her palace to question her when he heard some false rumors. He also distanced himself from her when the Sixth Prince was poisoned because of some ridiculous suspicions. The emperor's suspicion will never be cured.

No matter how disgusted Zhen Huan felt in her heart, she still looked calm and virtuous on the surface, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."

The emperor ignored Zhen Huan and went straight into the bedroom. Wen Ying followed the emperor and tried to break in, but was stopped by Zhen Huan. "Wen Ying, I've been in the palace longer than you, but my position is far higher than yours. You didn't show courtesy when you saw me, but haven't you learned the rules from a few days ago?"

Wen Da Ying glanced at Zhen Huan smugly and said, "You are just a concubine Xi. It's not even certain whether you can keep your position. And you are still bossing me around? Be careful or the emperor will take your head."

Seeing this, Zhen Huan ordered Huanbi, "Slap her face."

Without saying a word, Huanbi walked up to Guaerjia Wenyuan and slapped her twice, making Guaerjia Wenyuan see stars.

Zhen Huan said coldly: "No matter what, I am the Concubine Xi appointed by the Emperor himself, and I am also the biological mother of the Seventh Prince and the Third Princess. It is not your turn to show off in front of me. Who the hell do you think you are!"

Guaerjia Wenyuan was not happy at this moment. She thought that Zhen Huan was just belittling her because she was the mother of the Seventh Prince and the Third Princess. She had to go before the Emperor and let him see her injured face. She was determined to teach Zhen Huan a lesson.

After making up her mind, Guaerjia Wenyuan pushed away Zhen Huan and Huanbi who were blocking her way and ran towards the place where the emperor had just left.

Zhen Huan signaled to Huanbi not to stop her and returned to her own bedroom in a dignified manner.

As soon as Zhen Huan entered the bedroom, she saw that her room was in a mess because of the emperor, and the bedding on the bed was scattered all over the floor. The emperor sat quietly on the couch, holding the letter paper he had prepared in advance, and was silent for a long time.

Guarjia Wenyuan knelt down beside the emperor's legs and cried, "Your Majesty, please look at my face. Concubine Xi was furious because I exposed the life stories of the Seventh Prince and the Third Princess. My face hurts so much..."

The emperor was interrupted by Wen's words and asked Zhen Huan while holding the letter, "Are these your true feelings?"

Zhen Huan looked at the emperor, her eyes clear as water, "I could not have predicted that the emperor would come to my palace."

With just one sentence, she answered all the emperor's guesses. The emperor felt a little guilty, but when he looked at Wen Da Ying, he still said, "I heard an interesting story today, about the life stories of the Seventh Prince and the Third Princess."

Zhen Huan looked at the emperor, standing there motionlessly, with complex and difficult to discern emotions in her eyes, as if she had said something, yet also as if she had said nothing.

The emperor thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Wen said that he saw you and Prince Guo getting along too well in the palace, and he also heard that before you got married, you often exchanged letters with Prince Guo."

When Zhen Huan heard this, she sneered in her heart. What on earth was in Guarjia Wenyuan's mind? Did she forge her own letter? But she looked calm and looked into the emperor's eyes, saying word by word: "I have never been married until now, and I have only heard my father say that the emperor is personally in power and loves the people, and governs the country well. As for Prince Guo, I have only met him briefly at palace banquets and have never talked to him. I know that once I enter the palace, I am the emperor's concubine and cannot do anything that will humiliate the royal family. I don't know from whom the emperor heard this statement, but it is really ridiculous to me."

The Emperor was speechless for a moment after being struck by Zhen Huan's sharp words. Since Zhen Huan entered the palace, the Emperor had seen her being quirky, innocent, gentle, and seductive in bed, but he had never seen her so sharp-tongued and stubborn.

Guarjia Wenyuan saw the emperor's hesitation and immediately said, "Xi Fei, don't lie to the emperor. I have a letter here in which you and Prince Guo expressed your feelings to each other."

Seeing this, Zhen Huan looked at Guarjia Wenyuan with a slightly mocking look and said, "Oh? Wen Yuan actually has something that I haven't written? Why don't you take it out and let me take a good look at it?"

Guaerjia Wenyuan hurriedly took out a stack of letters from her sleeve. There was no reply from Prince Guo. All of them were written by Zhen Huan to Prince Guo. The number was staggering.

At this time, Concubine Chun hurried to Suiyuxuan. When Xiao Yunzi came to report, the emperor and Zhen Huan were a little surprised. The emperor thought for a moment and said, "Let her go back to the palace first, and I will go find her when I am done."

Just when Xiao Yunzi was about to go back to report, he saw Concubine Chun rushing in. The emperor frowned slightly and looked at Concubine Chun with some dissatisfaction. How could the woman who was so cold and aloof in the past be so ignorant of the rules today?

After Concubine Chun entered the palace, she bowed and said, "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you, Your Majesty, and to Concubine Xi."

The emperor looked at Concubine Chun with a hint of displeasure, "You came to see me today, is there something urgent?"

Concubine Chun knelt on the ground and said in a neither humble nor arrogant voice: "I came here because of the rumors in the palace that the Seventh Prince and the Third Princess are not the emperor's blood. I want to advise the emperor that there have always been disturbances in the harem, and people usually just follow what others say. Since I entered the palace, Concubine Xi has been helping me a lot, and I am very close to Concubine Xi. Concubine Xi often tells me about the emperor's hobbies and habits one by one, and asks me to serve the emperor well. If you are not someone you love deeply, how can you know all his preferences like the back of your hand? I hope the emperor will think twice."

Zhen Huan was somewhat confused by Chunpin's words. When did she become close to Chunpin? Since she entered the palace, she had only met her a few times to pay respects to her parents. How could she be so anxious to disregard the rules and come to the emperor to speak for her? She must be trying to protect someone else.

At this time, Concubine Chun looked at Zhen Huan. Zhen Huan met her eyes and suddenly confirmed what she was thinking.

When the emperor saw Concubine Chun speaking up for Zhen Huan so anxiously, he lamented that only pure-minded people in the harem could get along. He completely forgot how he had suspected Concubine Chun and Zhen Huan in the beginning.

When Zhen Huan thought about the trap she had set up this time, she felt a little sorry for Concubine Chun. Although she was a deeply affectionate person, she did not intend to admit what she said, so as not to implicate herself again in the future.

Fortunately, the emperor did not ask whether what Concubine Chun said was true or false. He just looked at the letters in Wen Ying's hand and said, "Concubine Xi, can you take a look at these letters?"
