Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Zhen Huan
Chapter 355 The Queen is Reluctant to Admit
"It's the Emperor."
Next, Xiao Tangzi told him everything he had heard.
"Your Majesty..." Jiang Zhongmin crawled towards the emperor and was about to speak when he was interrupted by the queen's aggressive words.
"How dare you, you rude servant, slander me!"
After hearing what Xiao Tangzi said, the queen stood up angrily and pointed at Xiao Tangzi and angrily said:
"Someone, come here! Drag this ignorant bastard away!"
As she spoke, the queen's eyes turned red with excitement.
When the eunuchs heard the order, they walked in without daring to stay for a moment.
Seeing this, Concubine Hua was about to speak up to stop him, but at this moment, the emperor, who had been silent all this time, raised his head and said slowly:
"Queen, I'm still here!"
As he spoke, the emperor gave a stern look to the eunuchs who had come in, and the eunuchs quickly understood and retreated.
When the Queen saw this, she knew that things were not going well for her. She did not even bother asking Xiu Xia to support her, and quickly walked up to the Emperor and knelt down:
"Your Majesty, I am innocent! I didn't do it, I really didn't do it!"
The emperor still had a calm look in his eyes and did not speak, seeming to be thinking about something.
Concubine Hua stood aside with a disdainful smile on her face, which contained endless contempt and disgust for the Queen.
Zhen Huan and her group sat aside, and while the emperor was thinking, they looked at each other, with a joy in their eyes that only the other person could understand.
In this situation, it is not appropriate for Zhen Huan and the others to say more.
If they all helped Concubine Hua to criticize the Queen, then given the Emperor's suspicion, he would definitely think that they had conspired to frame the Queen.
The emperor, like the former empress dowager, most hates to see one person or one party dominating the harem.
Achieving balance through mutual restraint is the emperor’s way of checks and balances.
But it was not a solution for them to just sit there and keep silent, Zhen Huan thought, only when the time was right could they "say a few good words for the Queen".
As for how to "speak sweet words", Zhen Huan knows her limits.
Facing the emperor's silence, the queen continued with red eyes and asked innocently:
"Could it be that the Emperor believed this dog servant's nonsense? He clearly wants to defile me!"
"Slave...slave didn't." Little Tangzi shrank back and said tremblingly.
"No? No!"
The queen glared at Xiao Tangzi fiercely and said nothing at all. Then she continued:
"Tell me! Did someone instruct you to deliberately slander me?"
Xiao Tangzi just shook his head and said nothing.
Although the Queen wanted to tear Xiao Tangzi into pieces, she could not do anything since the Emperor had not spoken.
So she had no choice but to point the finger at Concubine Hua again, hoping to find some flaws in her:
"Empress Hua, Empress Hua, why did you do this? Why did you find someone like this to slander me?"
Hearing the Queen say this, Concubine Hua looked at her condescendingly.
The Queen continued:
"I know that you have always wanted to replace me!"
"But I didn't expect that you would do such a clumsy thing in order to make me disliked by the emperor!"
Concubine Hua looked at the Queen quietly for a few seconds, then burst out laughing:
"Empress, you know better than anyone whether you did this or not!"
"I didn't want to bring the witness here, but you, the Queen, were so aggressive and wanted me to be the scapegoat, so I had no choice but to give him a taste of his own medicine."
"As for what the Queen said, I covet your position as Queen..." Concubine Hua said, covering her mouth with a handkerchief and laughing, and continued with what she had just said:
"I have never had such an idea!"
As she spoke, Concubine Hua knelt down before the Emperor, raised her left hand, bent her thumb and little finger, and swore:
"Your Majesty, today I can swear in front of you that no matter how the world changes in the future, no matter how high my status rises, I will never have the idea of sitting on the "throne of the queen."
"If you break this oath, I and the Nian clan will not have a good end or a peaceful death."
The reason why Concubine Hua dared to make such a vow was that since she learned from Zhen Huan about the fate of their Nian family in the previous life, her heart had become much clearer.
Thunder, lightning, rain and dew are all grace from the emperor. To put it bluntly, promotion or demotion depends entirely on the emperor's will.
He can bring prosperity to your entire family with just one word, or destroy your entire family with just one word.
If that's the case, why should she fight for the highest position!
Concubine Hua was thinking:
Whether she is a noble concubine or a concubine, as long as Sister Huan can always be favored by the emperor, Hongyu will...
When Concubine Hua thought of this, she was so happy that she couldn't contain herself.
In short, as long as I am with Zhen Huan, my life will no longer be as lonely as before!
Hearing Concubine Hua say this, the Queen's face turned the color of goose liver:
"Empress Hua, it's just talk, who wouldn't say it! And who would believe it?"
"I believe it!"
This time, the emperor did not remain silent as he did just now. Instead, he looked at the queen calmly and expressed his support for Concubine Hua.
Then, the emperor asked Concubine Hua to stand up again.
"Your Majesty, why can you trust anyone but me?"
The Queen said,
"I have served you for so long. Even if I have not done anything meritorious, I have worked hard. Your Majesty, how can you bear to treat me like this?"
"If my sister were here..."
"Don't mention your sister in front of me again!"
The emperor interrupted the queen sharply, paused for a moment, and then continued:
"You do not deserve!"
"I am not worthy!"
After hearing what the emperor said, the queen raised her head and laughed:
"Haha, I am not worthy!"
"Your Majesty, I don't know where Concubine Hua brought this so-called witness from. She said a few words to defame me, and you believed them to be true, without giving me the slightest chance to explain..."
"What else do you want to explain?"
"When you gave Concubine Xi the jade necklace from Chun Yuan last time, you must have already planned to frame Concubine Xi at the promotion ceremony, right?"
"The reason why I didn't tell you last time was because Concubine Xi believed you. It was Concubine Xi who persuaded me to forgive you for your hard work over the years!"
As he spoke, the emperor slapped the table with his hands, making a loud "clap". Everyone present felt their hearts tighten.
When Zhen Huan heard the emperor mention her, she quickly pretended to be heavy-hearted, stood up, and pleaded with the emperor:
"Your Majesty, the Queen has always been kind and compassionate. I am willing to trust her."
Concubine Hua thought that Zhen Huan must have her considerations for saying this.
No matter what, she would not speak out to comfort the queen for no reason, so she cooperated with her in the play:
"Empress Xi, so according to you, you don't trust me anymore?"
