Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Zhen Huan
Chapter 228 The Queen Mother Tells the Emperor the Truth
"The bridegroom is usually a royal daughter. I remember that only the late emperor married his own daughter, Princess Lanqi, to the Junggar."
Upon hearing about the marriage, even Jingpin, who was always low-key and calm, couldn't help but say a few more words.
She was also worried that Wen Yi would face such a fate one day.
The emperor said that it was precisely because the previous emperor had set such a precedent that he could not refuse.
An Lingrong thought for a moment, looked at the emperor nervously and said:
"But the emperor's legitimate daughters, Princess Wenyi, Princess Wanying, and Princess Yirou, are still very young. How can they marry into the royal family?"
“This is exactly what makes me feel awkward.”
The emperor then looked at the concubines:
"You all know that I have been on the throne for less than three years, and I have just pacified the northwest. The situation in the court is still unstable."
"The Dzungars have always been powerful. If this matter is not properly resolved, I am afraid that war will break out again."
"Nian Gengyao has now handed in his military seal due to his injured leg, so the court has no one available for the time being."
"So raising an army now is not the best strategy."
The emperor's implication was that marriage was the only option.
It is already obvious that the emperor does not want to send troops.
Even if Zhen Huan wanted to save Princess Chao Gui, she couldn't!
At this time, the queen, who was good at observing the emperor's words and expressions, looked at him and said:
"Zungar only said that he wanted to marry a princess who was his legitimate daughter, not necessarily the emperor's biological daughter."
"You mean..."
The emperor looked at the queen hesitantly, wanting to say something.
What he was waiting for was the Queen to personally announce the candidate for the marriage!
The Queen did not disappoint the Emperor!
She looked at the emperor tenderly and said:
"The late emperor's youngest daughter, Princess Chaogui, is in her prime and has not yet been married. She is the most suitable candidate."
The emperor pretended to decline and said:
"But she is my youngest sister after all!"
The Queen said without thinking:
"Your Majesty works hard for the country day and night, and even sacrifices himself for it. How can you be stingy with a sister who was born to a different mother?"
"What's more, Princess Chaogui's biological mother was just a noble lady of the late emperor."
"Even if the emperor arranges a marriage for me in the future, he can only choose a middle-class family in the court. How can it be as respectable and noble as marrying into the Dzungarians?"
The Queen's words really touched the Emperor's heart!
The emperor saw that he had a reason, and he smiled and said:
"The Queen is right!"
"I only have this one unmarried sister, I have to make plans for her."
"Considering this, Junggar Khan is a great candidate!"
"Since Chaogui is the only candidate, the Queen will prepare her to marry into the Dzungar Khanate in ten days."
The queen nodded in agreement and said that she would do her best to take care of everything for the princess.
Afterwards, the emperor conferred the title of Princess Gulun on Chaogui, and all matters concerning the marriage were carried out in accordance with the proper etiquette for a Princess Gulun.
The concubines sitting below knew that the fact had been decided, so they didn't say anything more.
The harem is not allowed to interfere in political affairs, and Zhen Huan can do nothing to help in this matter.
Sending a concubine to protect the country is the best way for the emperor to avoid war.
Time passed quickly, and ten days passed in the blink of an eye. Princess Chaogui married to Junggar as scheduled.
These days, the Queen Mother has been trying to find an opportunity to mention the matter of Tong Jia Yuting to the Emperor.
But the emperor always used being busy as an excuse to refuse to see her.
Because, whenever the emperor heard the Queen Mother mention Long Keduo, he would unconsciously think of those past events...
The empress dowager thought about it and thought there was only one way to make the emperor see her, so she pretended to be sick in the palace.
Although the emperor knew what the empress dowager was thinking, he still went to Shoukang Palace.
Just as the mother and son exchanged a few words, the empress dowager turned the topic to Tong Jia Yuting's matter.
Seeing the coldness in the emperor's eyes and the fact that he showed no sign of giving in, the empress dowager actually threw back the quilt, got out of bed, and knelt before the emperor.
When the emperor saw this, he quickly sent everyone away:
"Mother, can you really ignore your son for him?"
When the Queen Mother looked at the Emperor, she choked up:
"Emperor, I am not doing this for him, I am doing this for myself..."
"Li Si'er has in his hand the letters I exchanged with Longkodo when I was young. I..."
"What?" The emperor raised his voice a lot because he was angry:
"Then Empress, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"Over the years, the relationship between me and the emperor has just eased a little. I really don't want to see the emperor worrying about this matter again, so I haven't said anything."
"Then why did the Empress say that now?"
"Li Sier promised me that if the emperor could exempt Tong Jia from punishment, he would give me part of the letter..."
"You actually believed her words, Empress Dowager!"
"It is precisely because I know Li Si'er's character that I know she is capable of anything."
"That's why I can't gamble my reputation with her."
The Emperor glanced at the Queen Mother coldly:
"If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have done it in the first place!"
"In my opinion, Longkodo's family may not be able to stay!"
"emperor……"
The Queen Mother wanted to dissuade her, but she didn't have the confidence. The words came to her lips but she swallowed them back.
"Madam, has Li Si'er told you about this? Does anyone else know about this?"
The Queen Mother lowered her head and thought for a moment, then looked at the Emperor and said:
"She said that if she died, the contents of the letter would be spread immediately..."
"I think she has made all the preparations."
For the emperor, it was easy to get rid of Li Si'er.
But the most difficult thing is how to ensure that the contents of the letter will not be leaked!
The emperor hesitated for a moment, looked at the queen mother and said:
"Empress Dowager, if Tong Jia agrees to this matter, your son can agree to it with you."
"My son gives the Empress Dowager five days to get all the letters from Li Si'er."
"If the Empress cannot do it, I will do it myself!"
After saying this, the emperor left Shoukang Palace without looking back.
After returning to the Palace of Tranquil Longevity, the emperor angrily threw everything on the table to the ground.
In addition to anger, Su Peisheng also saw a strong murderous intent on the emperor's face!
I’m afraid Longkodo can’t stay!
After the emperor calmed down, he called in the people from the Guillotine and asked them to secretly monitor Li Si'er's every move.
After arranging everything, the emperor went to Yikun Palace again, specifically to appease Concubine Hua about Tong Jia Yuting's matter.
At this moment, Zhen Huan also received a message from Yun'er.
It is said that Yue Xing'a had obtained the correspondence between the Empress Dowager and Longkodo from Li Si'er.
This is going to be fun!
Zhen Huan thought that she should just wait until Li Si'er entered the palace and paid her respects to the Queen Mother before breaking the news.
At that time, she wanted to see how the empress dowager, who was in charge of the overall situation, would end up.
