The Empress of Zhen Huan Reborn

Seeing that this matter did not involve anyone else, Concubine Chun felt relieved, bowed, and hurriedly said goodbye.

When the Emperor and Zhen Huan were the only ones left in the palace, the Emperor said, "I didn't know you were so close to Concubine Chun. How dare you let Concubine Chun come here so rashly to testify for you."

The emperor smiled after saying this, trying to ease the atmosphere. But Zhen Huan didn't buy it, and continued in a calm tone: "I don't know why Concubine Chun came to testify for me. I'm not familiar with Concubine Chun. We only met briefly in the Queen's Palace."

The Emperor did not expect that Zhen Huan would speak this fact so frankly, because since Concubine Chun entered the palace, the Emperor had placed some spies around her who had been watching her actions, and when the servants came to report, they did not mention that she was familiar with Concubine Xi.

When the emperor was about to say something, Su Peisheng entered the palace and said, "Your Majesty, someone from the Ministry of Punishment has come and said that they have recruited for the autumn festival."

After hearing this, Zhen Huan thought to herself that it was An Lingrong who was worthy of her name. She calculated the timing of everything so accurately. She was truly the most meticulous person in the harem.

When the emperor heard what Su Peisheng said, he stood up and prepared to leave, and said to Zhen Huan in a gentle voice: "My beloved, I will go to take care of important matters first, and I will come to accompany you later."

Zhen Huan did not try to persuade him to stay, but bowed and said, "Your Highness, I respectfully send you off."

After the emperor returned to the Palace of Tranquil Longevity, Su Peisheng handed the testimony brought by the Ministry of Punishment to the emperor, who took it and took a look.

Concubine Fang had two miscarriages, Noble Lady Fucha's Fifth Prince, Empress Chunyuan's Second Prince, Princess Wen Yi's tapioca flour, Zhen Huan's twins the Seventh Prince and the Third Princess' pollen allergy, Shen Meizhuang's child the Sixth Prince's poisoning, and Concubine Mi's infertility were all caused by the Empress. Even the death of Empress Chunyuan was caused by the Empress. Every matter was explained very clearly, and the Emperor was furious when he saw it.

He slapped the dragon table with a loud slap, and said with a surging anger, "This queen is so vicious and evil, follow me to Jingren Palace!"

Seeing this, Su Peisheng followed the emperor in fear and trepidation, thinking in his heart that the Empress might have really touched the Emperor's bottom line this time, and her position as Empress might be in danger.

When the emperor arrived at Jingren Palace, his anger not only did not subside, but was even stronger than at the beginning. When he entered the main hall, he saw the queen was writing something. The moment the queen saw the emperor, she was not as dignified as before, and was a little flustered. She tried to hide the letter. The emperor gave a signal, and Su Peisheng stepped forward but did not grab it. He just stretched out his hand and looked at the queen, "Your Majesty..."

The Queen looked at Su Peisheng's actions, then turned to look at the Emperor, "These are just some poems about love between girls, not worthy of being in a high-class place. Your Majesty should not read them."

The emperor looked at the queen who was trying to get away with it with her excuses, and his doubts grew even heavier. He then said in a cold voice, "If these were poems about love, why would the queen hide them from me? Could it be that in the queen's heart, there is someone else she can express her love to?"

When the queen heard that the emperor doubted her and insisted on reading the letter, her face turned pale. At this time, the emperor strode to the queen's side, stretched out his hand and pulled out the letter.

The emperor opened the letter and saw that it said, "The emperor has confined me to my room. Send someone to rescue Jianqiu. Quick! Assassinate Nian Shilan. Help her."

Before the queen could finish writing, she was interrupted by the emperor's sudden entry.

The emperor looked at the queen, grabbed her neck and asked, "You vicious woman, what do you want to do?"

The queen was frightened by the emperor's tyranny. The emperor's hand on the queen's neck became more and more forceful. The queen's face turned red and she gasped for breath, but she couldn't stand the increasingly tight hand. The queen slapped the emperor's hand in panic, trying to break free. Just when the queen felt that she was about to die, the emperor suddenly let go of his hand and threw the queen to the ground.

The queen didn't even have time to feel the pain of her limbs being scraped on the ground. She just instinctively gasped for air. After a long time, her complexion gradually recovered. The queen looked at the emperor with tears in her eyes, "Your Majesty, what did I do wrong? Is it worthy of your wanting to strangle me to death in such an indiscriminate way?"

The emperor was so angry at the queen's refusal to repent that he looked at her with eyes wide open, his gaze like a knife, wishing he could cut her into pieces, "Don't you know? Jianqiu has confessed, didn't you do all these things?"

After the emperor finished speaking, he threw a stack of confessions in the queen's face. The queen took it and looked at it. Jianqiu confessed everything in great detail, one by one. The queen was completely disappointed after seeing this.

Then the queen stopped pretending and just looked at the emperor. Her face was no longer virtuous and dignified as usual. She looked at the emperor with a ferocious and mean face, "Yes, I did all this. What's wrong? Your Majesty, don't say you didn't know. You acquiesced to many things, didn't you?"

The emperor was so angry that his chest kept heaving. He slapped the queen hard and angrily said, "You vicious woman! You killed the concubines and attacked the royal heir. How dare you accuse me!"

The Queen said with a slightly mocking tone, "Is it me who is making false accusations? Your Majesty, have you always been very suspicious, fearing that the concubines with higher family backgrounds will plot against the throne after giving birth to your heir? Your Majesty and I have been married for many years, and I just want to share some of the burden with you so that you don't have to do it yourself, right?"

The emperor was struck by the queen's confession and felt deeply vulnerable. He said angrily, "You are simply crazy. When have I ever laid hands on my own child?"

The queen looked at the emperor with eyes full of pity, "Your Majesty, you know best whether I am crazy or not."

The emperor could not stand the look from the queen, and his emotions gradually got out of control. "It's fine if you murdered others, but what about Chun Yuan? She's your own sister!"

When the Queen mentioned Chun Yuan, her face was full of disdain, and she even said with a bit of hatred: "My elder sister? If she really regarded me as her sister, how could she seduce her brother-in-law when I was pregnant? And took away the position of the legitimate wife that should have belonged to me! How could she summon all the doctors in the palace to her room when my eldest brother was sick, leaving my eldest brother without a doctor, and he had a fever for three days and three nights and finally died! Did she regard me as her sister?"

When the emperor heard what the queen said, he disagreed and said, "If you hate Chunyuan because of these things, then everything is my decision, and the person you should hate is me! Chunyuan is innocent and kind, how could you regard her as a scheming woman! You really don't deserve to be Chunyuan's sister."
