Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Zhen Huan

"Empress Xi, the emperor is absolutely right, so please stop making excuses!"

When Concubine Jing saw Zhen Huan looking thoughtful, she hurriedly spoke to persuade her.

Such a good opportunity, you really shouldn’t miss it!

However, Zhen Huan didn't really want to refuse.

But she thought that she couldn't just kowtow and express gratitude as soon as the emperor said so!

Wouldn't that make it seem like she had been eyeing the position of imperial concubine for a long time?

You should always be humble!

As her thoughts turned around and around, Zhen Huan smiled and bowed to the emperor:

"Thank you very much, Your Majesty, for your grace."

Seeing Zhen Huan so happy, the emperor laughed a few times, but when he thought of Zhen Huan's injuries, his expression became solemn again:

"You still have a wound on your neck. Bend down and kowtow. What will happen if the wound is disturbed? Get up quickly!"

The emperor's tone was very gentle.

This inevitably made Prince Guo, who was standing below the royal palace, feel unhappy.

To him, Zhen Huan is always a great worry!

As long as she is alive, the emperor will inevitably consider making the Sixth Prince the Crown Prince.

This made him very uneasy.

After Zhen Huan stood up, the emperor bowed his head and pondered for a moment, then continued:

"This leaves only two concubines left, Consort Jing and Consort Duan, with two more vacancies."

"But there is no rush. After you have performed the enthronement ceremony, I will think about who should be placed in this position."

Zhen Huan glanced at the few people with a smile, then looked at the emperor:

"Princess Mei is now favored by the Emperor and is pregnant. If she gives birth to a prince in the future, I think the Emperor will not be willing to treat her badly."

Prince Guo didn't expect that Zhen Huan would actually speak for Hongmei. He raised his eyes and was slightly stunned.

He secretly made up his mind that he would never let Hongmei betray him.

The emperor looked at Prince Guo calmly, his face was calm and expressionless:

"The one who knows me is Huanhuan."

"Since entering the palace, Meipin has been a noncompetitive person. I like her very much and will certainly not treat her badly."

"But I just made her a concubine... I shouldn't be too hasty, lest the people in the harem develop resentment, which would be detrimental to her."

After saying this, the emperor looked at Prince Guo again.

But Prince Guo was preoccupied with his own affairs at the moment and did not notice the look the Emperor gave him.

After a long while, Prince Guo smiled and bowed:

"Not only is Concubine Xi brave and resourceful, she is also kindhearted and friendly to the concubines."

"No wonder there are so many concubines in the harem, but my brother only favors Concubine Xi!"

As he spoke, Prince Guo glanced at where Concubine Jing was standing.

Concubine Jing was very puzzled when she saw this. What does your bragging have to do with me?

But in just a moment, she realized that Prince Guo was trying to create hatred for Concubine Xi!

Do you think I'm as foolish as the Third Prince?

Why don't I lean on such a big tree? Do you want me to bear a grudge against Concubine Xi?

Thinking of this, Concubine Jing couldn't help but feel a strange hatred towards Prince Guo.

At this time, Zhen Huan's voice came from in front of her:

"Prince Guo, you are too kind to praise me. I really don't deserve it."

The Emperor, however, took Zhen Huan's hand and said lovingly:

"Old Seventeen is just telling the truth, you deserve it!"

The reason why the emperor wanted to promote Zhen Huan this time was that he really wanted to do so in his heart, and now he could use the Wen Yi incident to legitimately confer the title;

Secondly, it also puts pressure on Prince Guo to see what he will think and do next.

"Your Majesty, I have just passed on your reward to the Royal Guards and archers waiting outside. They are all very grateful to you, Your Majesty!"

"but……"

Su Peisheng paused:

"Ye's body is still outside. Today is New Year's Eve. It looks creepy."

"How should we deal with this? Your Majesty, please give us your instructions."

Prince Guo's already calm heart was further disturbed by Su Peisheng's few words.

Zhen Huan just glanced at Prince Guo's expression, then turned to look at the emperor, waiting for his instructions.

The emperor's eyes were deep, as if he was thinking about something.

He originally wanted to tear Ye into pieces, but he also wanted to see how Prince Guo would react next.

Then, he looked at Su Peisheng and said coldly:

"Ye disobeyed the emperor's orders, killed the guards, escaped from Chunxi Palace, held the princess hostage, and harmed Concubine Xi. Her crimes are unforgivable."

"But today is New Year's Eve, and I don't want her to ruin my mood. I ordered the palace servants to drag her to the mass grave and let her be eaten by mad dogs and poisonous insects."

After saying this, the emperor looked at Su Peisheng without changing his expression.

Su Peisheng knew that the emperor had something to tell him.

But because there were people present, the emperor could not say some things directly.

He had no choice but to go down and send someone to dispose of Ye's body.

Zhen Huan was thinking along the lines of what the Emperor had said, and her heart suddenly surged with emotion.

If she hadn't suppressed it, she would have been so sick that she would have died.

Although she also felt that Ye had brought this upon herself, her feelings for Prince Guo were truly admirable, whether in the previous life or in this life.

I wonder what she felt when she saw with her own eyes that it was Prince Guo who shot her to death before she died? Did she regret it?

After Su Peisheng left, the emperor said a few words casually and asked Prince Guo and his wife and Concubine Jing to leave, leaving only Zhen Huan alone in the Yangxin Palace.

As soon as they left, Su Peisheng walked in with his head bowed:

"emperor……"

"Send two people to watch over the mass grave."

The emperor only said this in a deep voice, but Su Peisheng and Zhen Huan both understood his meaning.

The emperor is afraid that someone will take Ye’s body!

Prince Guo!

Thinking of this, Su Peisheng dared not delay any longer:

"It's the Emperor."

After saying that, he walked out quickly.

After Su Peisheng left, Zhen Huan looked at the emperor and said:

"Your Majesty, you are suspicious..."

The emperor nodded solemnly:

"Yes, I suspect that Prince Guo will send people to the mass grave to collect Ye's body."

"If this is true, it proves that Ye is indeed the person he arranged to be by my side, and all my previous suspicions about him are true."

"If this is really as Your Majesty expected, how does Your Majesty plan to treat Prince Guo?" Zhen Huan tested cautiously.

"Since I have sealed his name today, I have no intention of punishing him again."

The emperor looked gloomy:

"Besides, if I punish him just for these reasons, those who are waiting to find fault with me will inevitably say that I am intolerant of my brothers."

"Since Prince Guo always boasts that he doesn't like politics, I want him to participate in politics."

"In this way, Prince Guo's power will become even stronger, and the emperor will not be afraid of him...?"

"afraid?"

The emperor's eyes were filled with dread:

"If I were afraid, I wouldn't be the one sitting on the throne when the nine princes competed for the throne!"
