Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Zhen Huan

"These are not what I want!"

"If it weren't for you, Empress Dowager, having thoughts that you shouldn't have, you and I, mother and son, wouldn't have come to this point!"

"Even if I don't do this, will you let me live, Yinzhen?"

The Queen Mother was filled with resentment towards the Emperor. She felt that the Emperor was a cold-blooded and heartless person:

"Can you dare to say that you didn't intend to kill me in this matter of Longkodo?"

The Queen Mother's questions one after another made the Emperor feel nervous.

But now that things have come to this, he doesn't want to say anything hypocritical in front of the Queen Mother:

"In order to save the Qing Dynasty and the Emperor's face, I had to do that."

"I can only blame you, Empress Dowager. You want too much."

"Now that you have entered the palace and become the emperor's concubine, you should not have any other thoughts."

"Even if you have an idea, you shouldn't do something like that!"

"Your Majesty, you don't know about those things, but I have always known about them. The reason why I didn't expose them is that I wanted to save face for you, Your Majesty."

"But have you ever considered me at all, Madam?"

"The news about you and Longkodo leaked out, and you executed Li Si'er in private. I didn't stop you because I knew you were angry, Empress Dowager."

"As long as it can make Empress Dowager feel better, I can pretend that I know nothing."

"But where do you want me to put my face?"

"Do you know how many people with ulterior motives were stabbing me in the back when the incident happened?"

"I have only been on the throne for a short time. Any mistake I make could lead me to eternal damnation!"

"But when you were pleading for Longkodo, did you ever think of me?"

The emperor's words greatly discouraged the empress dowager.

When she thought about the fact that the glory of the Ulanara family was still in her hands, she suppressed her heartache and resentment and softened her tone when speaking to the emperor:

"But this is all my fault. Old Fourteen did nothing. Emperor, why can't you let him go for the sake of brotherhood?"

"It's not that I want Old Fourteen to die, it's that you, Empress Dowager, have already made your choice."

The emperor's eyes were gloomy, with a hint of loss in them.

But when he looked up at the Queen Mother, he regained his composure:

"If only one person can live, it must be me."

"Whether you want it or not, I am the Son of Heaven, the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty."

After hearing this, the Queen Mother sighed deeply:

"Forget it. Old Fourteen is gone. There is no point in arguing with you about this."

"It's just that the one who has the intention of rebellion is me, and has nothing to do with the Ulanara clan."

"I also ask the Emperor to forgive the entire Ulanala family for the ten months of pregnancy and giving birth to you. I will bear all the sins alone!"

The emperor twirled the jade Buddhist beads in his hand, lowered his head and said nothing.

Seeing that the Emperor's expression did not change at all, the Queen Mother continued with what she had just said:

"The Queen has been serving the Emperor diligently over the years."

"I know you don't like the queen, but I hope the emperor can promise me that Ulanara will never be deposed."

"This is also my last wish. I hope the emperor can agree to my wish for the sake of our mother-son relationship."

The emperor still kept his eyes lowered and said nothing.

The Queen Mother sighed deeply, looked at Zhu Xi and said:

"Zhu Xi, you have served me for many years. This time, I will go first."

After saying that, she took the poisoned wine from the tray in Su Peisheng's hand and drank it all in one gulp.

The emperor's expression changed.

He frowned, tightened his grip on the green pearl sack, and his eyes flashed with endless sadness.

But he still didn't say anything, just watched quietly as the empress dowager staggered and collapsed on the ground.

"Emperor, all the mistakes are my fault. Once I die, all the anger in your heart will disappear."

"Ai... I hope you... you can promise me to protect the Ulanara clan and not... depose... depose the queen."

As soon as she finished speaking, blood flowed from the corner of the Queen Mother's mouth, and she stretched out her hand towards the direction of the imperial mausoleum:

"Old...Old...Old Fourteen, um...Mother...is here to keep...to keep you company."

The Queen Mother died with her eyes open because she did not hear the Emperor's promise.

The emperor closed his eyes tightly, and a tear flowed from the corner of his eye.

Then he walked to the Queen Mother and squatted down:

"Son promises you."

After saying this, the emperor closed the empress dowager's open eyes.

Zhu Xi looked at the empress dowager's cold body falling down, picked up the dagger from the tray in Su Peisheng's hand, and stabbed himself with it.

"Master, please wait for me. I am here to accompany you."

The emperor watched the scene unfold calmly.

Because even if Zhuxi didn't die, he would not spare Zhuxi's life. Now, this is the best ending for Zhuxi.

"Su Peisheng, give the order. The Queen Mother is in poor health and has suddenly fallen ill. She passed away today."

"The Empress Dowager's funeral affairs will be handed over to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and will be handled according to the proper etiquette for the Empress Dowager."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After explaining all this, the emperor returned to the Palace of Tranquil Longevity in a depressed mood.

He sat there in a daze, thinking about the past, without saying a word.

When Zhen Huan got the news, she was not as happy as she had imagined.

She went to the Yangxin Palace with Huanbi and stayed quietly by the emperor's side.

The emperor lowered his head, his voice filled with sadness:

"Hanhuan, even until her death, the Empress Dowager will only think of the Fourteenth Prince."

"Ever since the Emperor was alive, she has always hoped that the person who would sit on the throne would be the Fourteenth Prince, but I am also his son..."

Zhen Huan caressed the emperor's back with concern:

"Silang, in Huanhuan's heart, Silang will always be the most wise and powerful monarch."

"No matter who it is, no one can compare to Shiro."

There were tears in the emperor's eyes when he looked at Zhen Huan.

It was the first time that Zhen Huan saw the emperor like this. She hurriedly hugged the emperor and comforted him:

"Silang, if you really feel bad, just tell me so Huanhuan can help you share some of the pain."

The Emperor hugged Zhen Huan tightly with his hands so that he could get more warmth from her:

"I'm fine. I just feel a little tired. I'll be fine after a while."

"Well, as long as Silang needs me, Huanhuan will always be by his side."

Jingren Palace.

When the Queen learned that the Queen Mother had passed away, she found it hard to accept it for a while.

She was drinking tea when she suddenly put the cup down on the table with a bang:

"How could the Queen Mother die of illness? How could she die of illness?"

"I heard that the Empress Dowager died after the Emperor passed away."

Xiu Xia carefully glanced at the Queen from the corner of her eye:

"Moreover, even Aunt Zhuxi, who was by the Queen Mother's side, died for her master."
