Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Zhen Huan

Chapter 357 The Queen is Sick

"Your Majesty, what the Queen said just now is absolutely right!"

"If the Queen Mother and Queen Chunyuan were still alive, I believe they would not want to see the Emperor and the Queen end up in such a mess."

As Zhen Huan spoke, she looked up at the emperor. The emperor did not say anything, but his eyes were as deep as ink, and it seemed that he was thinking about how to deal with the queen.

The queen also looked at the emperor with tears in her eyes, hoping that he would change his plan to punish her.

Concubine Hua and her companions were silently pondering the purpose of Zhen Huan's actions.

When everyone was confused, Zhen Huan took advantage of the emperor's hesitation and continued:

"Let's take a step back and say that if this incident was really done by the Queen, how could she be so angry that she would commit suicide to prove her innocence?"

"Your Majesty, please think twice and forgive the Queen this time!"

After saying this, Zhen Huan knelt on the ground, placed her hands in front of her body, and kowtowed deeply to the emperor.

Seeing this, Shen Meizhuang and others also followed Zhen Huan and echoed her.

Only Concubine Hua was kneeling aside, not saying a word, waiting for the emperor's final decision.

The Emperor originally planned to let the Queen go, but when he heard Zhen Huan mention "suicide", he couldn't help but become angry.

According to palace rules, it is a serious crime for a concubine to commit suicide, not to mention that she is the queen who manages the harem for him!

Regarding the incident of "Chun Yuan's old clothes", the emperor could just find any excuse to cover it up.

But the queen took the hairpin and put it against her neck in public...

If the emperor indulges her, wouldn't it be equivalent to telling everyone that if they want to escape punishment in the future, they only need to threaten to commit suicide?

If everyone in the harem follows suit, wouldn't it disrupt order?

This is something the emperor absolutely cannot tolerate!

In addition, the Queen's actions over the past few days have caused the Emperor to lose trust in her...

After thinking for a moment, the emperor slowly raised his head, looked at the queen and said:

"The queen is ill and needs to rest in the palace."

"From now on, without my order, no one is allowed to disturb the Queen's peace in Jingren Palace. Anyone who dares to disobey me will be forgiven by me!"

Before the emperor finished speaking, the queen had already fallen to the ground in despair.

The Emperor's voice continued to ring out:

"During the period when the queen is ill, the affairs of the harem will be handed over to Concubine Hua to take care of them, and Concubine Xi and Concubine Jing will assist her."

"It's the Emperor."

Concubine Hua, Concubine Jing, and Zhen Huan bowed their heads and saluted to express their gratitude to the Emperor.

After the emperor asked them to stand up, he looked at Jiang Zhongmin, who had already turned pale with fear, and said:

"Jiang Zhongmin wantonly destroyed the ceremonial attire for his promotion. Drag him out and beat him to death!"

"Your Majesty, have mercy on me! Your Majesty, please have mercy on me!"

Jiang Zhongmin saw Su Peisheng and two young eunuchs walking towards him, so he hurriedly crawled to the emperor, kowtowed and begged for mercy:

"Your Majesty, please forgive me this time! Please forgive me...!"

Before he could finish his words, he was grabbed by the arms from behind and dragged out by the people led by Su Peisheng.

Xiao Xiazi stood aside, watching Jiang Zhongmin crying and shouting, and was so scared that cold sweats broke out.

Before he could testify for Concubine Hua, everything was over!

In this huge palace, perhaps the truth has never been that important!

What matters is what the Emperor will think...

If the emperor wants to protect someone, no matter what heinous crime that person has committed, he can be let off lightly!

On the contrary, if the emperor wants to punish someone, he can find a reason even if there is no reason!

And now the Queen has obviously reached a point that the Emperor can no longer tolerate!

After Jiang Zhongmin was dragged away, peace returned to the hall.

"Get ill?"

"Hehe, sick?"

At this moment, the queen laughed and cried, with tears streaming down from the corners of her eyes.

She raised her head with red eyes and looked at the emperor, and asked in despair:

"Your Majesty, how long do you intend to keep me sick this time?"

"Queen, you are not only sick! You are seriously ill!"

The emperor looked at the queen with disgust, and did not respond to her words. Instead, he pointed at Xiu Xia and said unhappily:

"What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and help your master go back to rest!"

Xiu Xia heard this and trembled as she walked to the Queen's side, squatted down and tried to help the Queen who had fallen to the ground.

But the queen looked at the emperor and sneered a few times, then she shook off Xiuxia's hand and stood up tremblingly:

"Your Majesty, I am ill, and you have given my power over the palace to Concubine Hua. Are you planning to depose me as the Queen?"

After hearing what the Queen said, Zhen Huan lowered her head and glanced at the Emperor secretly, so that she could understand his intentions.

But the emperor said nothing.

Seeing so many people present, the Queen changed her tone to a gentle one in order to avoid angering the Emperor, bowed and said:

"Your Majesty, I know you are fed up with me now, but I have something to say to you alone."

The emperor turned his head away without even looking at the queen.

The Queen continued to beg:

"Your Majesty, please consider our long-standing relationship as husband and wife and grant my request."

After saying this, the queen kowtowed deeply to the ground, then looked at the emperor with a pitiful expression.

The emperor looked at her coldly, then looked at Zhen Huan beside him and said:

"Empress Xi, you and Concubine Hua should go back to the palace and rest first. I will come to see you later."

"It's the Emperor."

After the ceremony, they left Jingren Palace together.

After the emperor sat down, he sent away the servants in the palace, then looked at the queen coldly and said:

"Now there are only you and I in the palace. If you want to say something, say it quickly!"

"Your Majesty, do you really despise me so much now?"

Seeing the emperor being so cold, the queen looked at him with tears in her eyes and pretended to be pitiful.

Seeing this, the emperor stood up impatiently and put his hands behind his back:

"If you have nothing to say, I will leave!"

As he spoke, the emperor was about to walk towards the door.

The queen quickly reached out and grabbed his sleeve:

"Your Majesty, please don't leave. I will tell you! I will tell you now!"

The emperor then turned around.

Then the Queen told the Emperor about the past:

"I still remember the scene when I first met Your Majesty. At that time, Your Majesty was still the Fourth Prince of the Late Emperor. I met you under the arrangement of my stepmother..."

"From that day on, I have decided that you are the only person I love in my life."

"Later, I entered the palace as I wished and became your concubine..."

The Queen's memories come flooding back!

She mentioned Honghui and their time in the palace...

These things could not help but make the emperor feel pity.

But when she mentioned Chun Yuan again, trying to exonerate herself, the emperor got angry with her again:

"You used Chun Yuan today to defile her. If she knew about this, how could she rest in peace?"

"As her sister, how are you like her?"

"How can you have the heart to use her request to me before she died to seek my forgiveness?"
