Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Zhen Huan

As he spoke, the emperor called Xiao Xia Zi and ordered him to go to Yikun Palace to summon Concubine Hua.

After receiving the order, Xiao Xiazi hurried away.

At this moment, the hall fell into a brief silence.

For a moment, everyone was secretly thinking about what would happen next.

The Queen would sometimes look up and glance at the Emperor, and sometimes steal a glance at Zhen Huan out of the corner of her eyes, trying to find something useful from them.

But on the surface, everyone seemed very calm.

Why didn't Concubine Xi suspect Concubine Hua?

Isn't she the one who has the most reason to be suspicious of Concubine Hua?

The Queen was thinking about this question in her heart, but now she couldn't care less. She had to make the Emperor confirm that she was the one who did this before Concubine Hua came here...

Only in this way, I won't gain nothing!

As for Jiang Zhongmin, humph, he's just a useless chess piece!

Even in this situation, the queen is still considering what benefits this matter can bring to her, rather than what disasters it can bring to her!

Right!

If they fail to frame Concubine Hua, Jiang Zhongmin can still take the blame!

In short, no matter when or where, no matter what situation she faces, the queen always thinks of preserving herself by sacrificing others.

It seemed that as long as she did this, she could hide behind the scenes, act arrogantly, and plan everything without any loss!

If one plan fails, you can come up with another one... and repeat this cycle day after day...

However, will the ending be what she wants this time?

At this moment, I am afraid that everyone present has no definite answer except for the hope in their hearts.

Finally, it was the Queen's voice that broke the silence in the palace:

"Your Majesty, I suddenly remembered something. I wonder if I should tell you about it?"

She followed the etiquette, lowered her head and looked at the emperor humbly.

The emperor, who was deep in thought, was interrupted by her hypocritical words and felt unhappy instantly.

He shook the green pearl bag in his hand in annoyance and looked at the queen with an unusually cold look:

"If I say it's not right, will you not say it?"

The Queen was embarrassed by the Emperor's words, but in order to please the Emperor, she had to look at him with a smile on her face and said:

"During the routine greetings two days ago, Concubine Hua and Concubine Xi had an argument..."

In order to further deepen the emperor's suspicion of Concubine Hua, she repeated what she had just been about to say but was interrupted by the emperor, using a tone that she had to say:

"I know a little bit about Concubine Hua's temperament... I thought at that time that Concubine Hua was just expressing her dissatisfaction with Concubine Xi, who was about to be promoted to Concubine."

"It's just that today... the various things that happened made me think too much..."

When the queen spoke, she kept her head down and her eyes respectful.

In addition, she kept squinting her eyes, glancing at Zhen Huan with the corner of her eyes, and constantly winking at Zhen Huan, in order to encourage Zhen Huan to join her in criticizing Concubine Hua.

But before Zhen Huan could speak, the emperor's deep voice rang in her ears:

"Really?" The emperor stopped twirling his Buddhist beads and looked at the queen without blinking:

"Did Concubine Hua really embarrass Concubine Xi in public?"

"It's absolutely true." The queen's eyes brightened with excitement.

But she tried to keep her tone steady to play a fair and impartial role:

"At that time, Concubine Xi and several people present were there, and the emperor could ask them..."

After hearing this, Shen Meizhuang, An Lingrong, and Yu Ying'er, although they appeared calm as usual, their hearts were already in turmoil.

As Concubine Jing had been immersed in the palace for many years, her mentality was much calmer than the other three. Except for the handkerchief that was almost twisted into a knot, there was nothing unusual about other parts of her body.

The Emperor originally intended to protect Concubine Hua, but in the face of the Queen's doubts, he could not help but verify them and show his favoritism so blatantly.

So, he turned to look at Zhen Huan: "Empress Xi, is this really the case?"

As the Emperor spoke, he used his eyes to hint to Zhen Huan. He secretly hoped that Zhen Huan could understand his intentions and not immediately say anything that would be detrimental to Concubine Hua.

Zhen Huan glanced at the emperor, quickly pulled herself out of the chair, took a step forward, bowed and said:

"Your Majesty, Concubine Hua did indeed admonish me when I was paying my respects, just as the Empress said."

"Your Majesty, out of good intentions, wants to help me find the person who framed me as soon as possible to clear me of the charge of disrespect. I am very grateful."

Zhen Huan agreed with the Queen's words, which made the Queen very happy.

So when Zhen Huan was speaking, no matter what she was thinking, she had a smile on her face, and she looked like a kind and amiable older sister next door.

Just when the Queen thought that Zhen Huan would stand on her side and tactfully accuse Concubine Hua to the Emperor, Zhen Huan's next words made her face instantly darken.

"But..." Zhen Huan looked at the Queen and then at the Emperor.

"As to who did this, I dare not speculate."

"I think, for the sake of caution, it is better to wait for Concubine Hua and Chief Butler Jiang to come and find out the reason. It will not be too late to make plans after that..."

"Yes." Zhen Huan's words were exactly what the emperor wanted, but his face did not show much emotion:

"What Concubine Xi said is right. It won't be too late to talk about it after Concubine Hua arrives."

As soon as the emperor finished speaking, he saw Su Peisheng walking in front with a piece of clothing in his hand, followed by Jiang Zhongmin who shrank his head and glanced at the queen from time to time.

This scene happened to be seen by the meticulous emperor. After looking at the queen thoughtfully, he shifted his gaze to the clothes in Su Peisheng's hand.

Jiang Zhongmin had already saluted and knelt down.

The emperor ignored him and took up the clothes that Su Peisheng had placed on the table and looked at them:

"Yes, that's right. It's just like what Concubine Xi said. It looks like it was cut open with a sharp tool."

The queen also pretended to be curious and moved closer to the emperor to take a look.

When the emperor saw the queen approaching, he unconsciously moved backwards, as if being touched by her would be like contracting the most incurable epidemic that would affect his health.

"Empress Xi, Concubine Jing..."

The emperor said this, waving his hand towards the person he called.

After seeing Zhen Huan and Concubine Jing stand up, the Emperor seemed to remember something and looked at An Lingrong:

"By the way, Concubine An, I remember that you are best at embroidery. Come and take a look. Can you find anything unusual here?"
