Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Zhen Huan
Chapter 440 The Emperor's Test of Zhen Huan
Li House.
"I was just worrying about how to deal with Zhen Yuandao, and this guy... immediately gave me an idea. God is really helping me!"
After receiving the letter from Prince Guo, Li Degui seemed to be talking to himself, but when he realized that there were other people around him, he stopped in a hurry.
After all, his relationship with Prince Guo is still kept secret, so of course the fewer people who know about it, the better.
Speaking of Li Degui, his relationship with Prince Guo actually started a few years ago when Prince Guo traveled to Sichuan. At that time, Li Degui, who was still an official in Sichuan, was unfortunately targeted by thieves while traveling, and it was Prince Guo who rescued him.
It was from that time that Li Degui and Prince Guo gradually began to interact with each other.
In recent years, Li Degui has been promoted so quickly, which is inseparable from the secret help of Prince Guo.
Therefore, it is not surprising that when Prince Guo had something wrong, the first person he thought of was Li Degui.
In addition, Li Degui always disagreed with Zhen Yuandao on matters of state, and as a result, a rift developed between the two...
It was precisely because of these two points that Prince Guo decided to give this task to Li Degui.
This night, whether inside or outside the palace, was destined to be a sleepless night.
After what happened during the day, the emperor became suspicious of the relationship between Zhen Huan and Concubine Hua.
He once advised Zhen Huan, hoping that she and Concubine Hua could get along well, but that happened after Nian Gengyao retired from office. He saw with his own eyes how heartbroken Concubine Hua was because of the child she lost. He said those words to Zhen Huan when he was overwhelmed with guilt.
But when these two people joined forces, he felt something else in his heart——
Concerns about the past
He was worried that Zhen Huan and Zhen Yuandao would become the Nian siblings of the past!
Compared with the former Nian brothers and sisters, the emperor is more afraid of the current Concubine Xi and Zhen Yuandao.
Because whether in terms of intelligence or cunning, Concubine Hua is inferior to Zhen Huan.
It was precisely because he knew this that the emperor became more and more annoyed the more he thought about it.
Looking at the emperor sitting there with a livid face, Su Peisheng thought to himself:
I wonder if the emperor is angry about what Ye promised?
Or is he still angry about Guaerjia agreeing to frame the Sixth Prince?
Or is it... ?
At this moment, the figures of Zhen Huan and Concubine Hua walking into the palace together appeared in front of Su Peisheng.
I was so stupid that I actually forgot about this matter. It seems that the emperor is worried about the affairs of the court!
Su Peisheng was thinking about this in his heart, when the emperor's voice rang in his ears:
"Su Peisheng, let me ask you, do you think it's possible for Concubine Xi and Concubine Hua to get along?"
"This... How should the emperor ask me to answer this?"
Su Peisheng looked at the emperor cautiously and said with a smile.
The emperor picked up the tea on the table and drank a few sips. Then he turned around, looked at Su Peisheng, and said calmly:
"Say whatever you think, I forgive you."
"If you ask me, I feel that Concubine Xi and Concubine Hua have nothing in common in terms of temperament..."
As Su Peisheng spoke, he would occasionally look up at the emperor to observe his expression.
Seeing that the emperor was calmly twisting the green pearl bag in his hand, Su Peisheng continued with what he had just said:
"But the ladies and concubines in the harem are now under the jurisdiction of Concubine Hua. Naturally, they have more interactions with Concubine Hua than usual..."
"But as to which lady and young master will be on good terms, this servant has no idea..."
After saying that, Su Peisheng nodded and bowed towards the emperor.
"Forget it. It's really a bit difficult for you to ask this."
After listening to Su Peisheng's words for so long, but not hearing a single useful word, the emperor turned around after pondering for a moment and said:
"Perhaps I have been overwhelmed by official duties recently and have been thinking too much."
Su Peisheng saw that the emperor was still thinking about something, so he started to persuade him:
"Your Majesty, government affairs are important, but they are not as important as your health. Why don't you let me take care of you and take a rest early?"
"Ah."
The emperor looked at Su Peisheng and nodded, then walked towards the couch.
The next day, after the morning court session, the emperor went to Chengqian Palace to discuss the wedding date of Prince Guo and Huanbi with Zhen Huan. They both felt that the sixth day of next month was an excellent date.
The emperor also said that he had asked Su Peisheng to notify the Ministry of Internal Affairs to come up with a few decent names for Huanbi to choose from.
Huanbi smiled and looked at the emperor and said:
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Still a slave!"
The Emperor took Zhen Huan's hand, looked at Huanbi as if jokingly and said:
"You are my sister-in-law now. Next month you will be my sister-in-law. Don't call yourself a slave anymore."
"Huanbi knows."
Hearing the emperor say this, Huanbi smiled and said:
Afterwards, the Emperor tested Zhen Huan again regarding the matter of Concubine Hua.
Zhen Huan thought that instead of making the emperor suspicious, it would be better for her to take the initiative to reveal some information to the emperor first.
This can be considered as testing the waters. It would be good to first see the emperor's attitude towards this matter.
"Your Majesty, ever since I helped Concubine Hua to break the siege of the Guarjia clan, Concubine Hua's attitude towards me has obviously become much friendlier than before."
"And this time, if it weren't for Concubine Hua's help, Hongyu's life would have been in danger..."
"So in my heart, I am very grateful to Concubine Hua."
As she said this, Zhen Huan looked up at the emperor with a sincere expression.
To be honest, Zhen Huan had long wanted to make her relationship with Concubine Hua public.
But for various considerations, they finally held back.
But now, since the emperor asked, she had no choice but to confess...
The emperor is suspicious. If she chooses to conceal it at this time, it will only make the emperor think more in the future.
After hearing what Zhen Huan said, the emperor stared at her quietly for a few seconds and thought to himself:
Looking at Concubine Xi's expression, she was very frank and had no intention of hiding anything from me.
Am I thinking too much about this matter?
I am always used to looking at everyone with suspicion, and because of this, I have hurt many innocent people over the years.
Concubine Duan and Concubine Hua are living examples...
It was because of my suspicion that the two people who were once as close as sisters became enemies;
It is precisely because of my worry that Concubine Hua and Concubine Duan cannot have children of their own...
I used to be most afraid of Nian Gengyao, but now he has become a crippled invalid because of my kingdom...
Do I have to let what happened in the past happen again to Concubine Xi?
Concubine Xi gave birth to three children for me. She was always considerate and attentive to me and never did anything beyond the rules.
Just because she changed her attitude towards Concubine Hua, do I suspect that she will join forces with her father and do something detrimental to me?
