Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Zhen Huan

"The medicines sent to Concubine Hua were all prepared by me personally. If there is any retribution, it will not be your fault, Your Majesty."

The Empress Dowager's words made the Emperor feel very comforted.

When he looked up at the Queen Mother, his determination to get rid of her wavered for a moment.

But when the emperor thought of her and Longkodo, he felt very uncomfortable. He lowered his head and thought for a moment, then looked at the empress dowager and said:

"Empress Dowager, my son has something else to do in the previous court, so I will go back first."

The empress dowager saw that the emperor was in a bad mood and did not try to persuade him to stay.

After the emperor left, the empress dowager stopped smiling. She glanced at Zhuxi out of the corner of her eye, and Zhuxi lowered his head as if listening.

The Queen Mother then slowly expressed her concerns:

"Ever since Longkodo's death, I've always had a bad feeling in my heart. I always feel that the emperor will not let this go..."

After hearing this, Zhu Xi walked slowly to the Queen Mother and considerately rubbed her temples:

"Master, in my opinion, you have been worrying too much these days."

"Although the emperor has a cold personality, he has always been very filial to you, my master. He will definitely not be like what you think."

The Queen Mother looked at Zhuxi and sighed deeply:

"That being said, this matter is, after all, damaging to the reputation of the royal family. I know the emperor's personality best."

"He can kill his father and brother for the sake of his own empire, let alone my mother who is not that close to me?"

"If the Fourteenth Prince became the emperor now, I believe he would do everything he could to protect me, but Yinzhen might not."

"master……"

Zhu Xi was about to speak out his advice, but was interrupted by the Queen Mother:

"Regarding this matter, I still have to make other plans."

As the Queen Mother spoke, she quickly calculated in her mind:

If I died, the emperor would inevitably vent his anger on the Fourteenth Prince.

Old Fourteen is the only person I care about in this world. I will never allow such a thing to happen.

Thinking of this, the Queen Mother raised her head, looked at Zhu Xi and said:

"I am ill. Please convey my imperial decree and ask the wife of Prince Dun to enter the palace and serve me together with Princess Gongding."

Zhu Xi wanted to say something to the Queen Mother, but seeing her determined look, she gave up trying to persuade her. She nodded slightly and said:

"It's master, slave, go right away."

The previous emperor was dealing with Longkodo's affairs after his death, busy eliminating Longkodo's followers, and busy paying attention to Prince Dun's every move.

In short, the emperor was either discussing matters with his ministers or thinking about government affairs.

Everything seemed normal in the harem, but Zhen Huan knew that this was just the prelude to the coming storm.

She recalled that in her previous life, Prince Dun had colluded with Nian Gengyao and was planning a rebellion, so the Emperor sent people from the Cavalry Battalion to raid Prince Dun's mansion overnight.

In this life, if my estimation is correct, Prince Dun will definitely rebel.

Seeing that Shen Meizhuang and Yu Ying'er were getting heavier and heavier, Zhen Huan was very worried.

While thinking, Liu Zhu walked over quickly:

"My lady, the Queen Mother is ill. I have just summoned the wife of Prince Dun to the palace to serve the Queen Mother together with Princess Gongding."

Zhen Huan's first reaction when she heard this was, why couldn't she believe it!

As soon as the emperor left, the empress dowager fell ill and summoned Prince Dun's wife to the palace...

Based on Zhen Huan's many years of experience in the palace, the Queen Mother's move must have other meanings.

"The Queen Mother's illness is a big deal."

As she spoke, Zhen Huan stood up:

"Jinxi, Huanbi, the two of you accompany me to Shoukang Palace to visit the Queen Mother."

"Yes, my lady." After saying that, Jingxi and Huanbi stood on Zhen Huan's left and right.

When Liu Zhu saw this situation, he became anxious.

She blinked her big watery eyes, looked at Zhen Huan and protested:

"My lady, if you all leave, I will be left alone in the palace..."

Before Zhen Huan could speak, Huanbi smiled and continued Liu Zhu's words:

"Liu Zhu, you are going to get married, but you are still jealous of the young lady!"

"Hurry up and get ready, and happily marry Doctor Wen next month!"

Liu Zhu pretended to be angry, pouted, and said nothing.

Zhen Huan knew that Liu Zhu couldn't bear to part with her!

But under the current circumstances, Liu Zhu’s marriage should be arranged as soon as possible!

Otherwise, who knows what will happen next!

Zhen Huan thought that in this life, she must make sure Liu Zhu escapes unscathed and not go back to the same old path as in the previous life.

The reason why Zhen Huan asked Jingxi and Liuzhu to accompany her was that she wanted to see if she could find any clues from the Queen Mother.

As soon as I arrived at Shoukang Palace, I saw the Queen holding medicine and feeding it to the Queen Mother one spoonful at a time.

"I pay my respects to the Queen Mother and the Empress."

"Ahem..." The Queen Mother wiped the corners of her mouth weakly with a handkerchief, then raised her hand to signal Zhen Huan: "Get up."

After standing up, Zhen Huan had just said a few words of concern when other concubines came over one after another.

Before they could say a few words, the empress dowager asked everyone to leave, saying that she was ill and did not want to make any noise.

Shen Meizhuang, An Lingrong, and Yu Ying'er all followed Zhen Huan to Chengqian Palace.

"The Queen Mother's illness came too suddenly. I always feel that it is a bit strange."

As soon as Shen Meizhuang was helped by Caiyue to sit down, she expressed her opinion.

"I also find it very strange. And from the Queen Mother's appearance just now, she didn't look sick at all. Instead, she looked more like..."

Yu Ying'er looked outside the palace cautiously and said in a low voice:

“It seems like he’s pretending.”

"I have the same idea as Sister Mei and Sister Yu."

An Lingrong thought for a moment and said:

"But if she was faking it, why would she do that?"

"The Queen Mother only let the wife of Prince Dun and Princess Gongding take care of her. What is her purpose?"

As they spoke, the three of them looked at Zhen Huan.

Combining what happened in the previous life, Zhen Huan deduced that the Queen Mother might want to ally with Prince Dun to seek the throne for the Fourteenth Prince.

But all this is just her inference...

To confirm whether it is true, we have to see what the Queen Mother does next.

If the Queen Mother really wanted to rebel and wanted to use Prince Dun for her own purposes, the best way would be to hold Prince Dun's wife and Princess Gongding hostage.

During this period, messages such as letters and secret letters must have been delivered.

Zhen Huan thought that she only needed to send people to set up an ambush on the road leading to Prince Dun's mansion and hijack the letter, and she would be able to find out the Queen Mother's true purpose.

After hearing this, the sisters all found it incredible.

After all, the Queen Mother is the Emperor's biological mother, and even a tiger won't eat its own cubs!

If the Queen Mother really did this, there would be no mother-son relationship at all!

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

On this matter, Zhen Huan and the Emperor thought alike.

The emperor has already sent people with the Blood Dropper to secretly monitor every move of Shoukang Palace and Prince Dun's Mansion.

In addition, he also asked Su Peisheng to announce that Prince Guo would enter the palace.
