Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Zhen Huan

As he spoke, the Emperor glanced at Zhen Huan:

"Recently, the Junggars have invaded many times and are very rampant. I have thought about it and found no suitable candidate."

"It was Zhang Tingyu who mentioned it to me, saying that he was the most suitable among all the relatives."

"I have just conferred upon him the title of Prince Guo. I believe that in order to show me his loyalty, he will definitely not disappoint me."

Zhen Huan thought for a moment, then took the emperor's arm and sat down:

"That's good. If we solve the external threat first, Your Majesty can free up more energy to deal with the internal troubles."

The emperor took her hand and said:

"Have you informed Lady Yu?"

Zhen Huan nodded: "In order to reassure Prince Guo, Yujiao and I have been at odds for a long time."

The emperor's expression paused for a moment, and then he understood Zhen Huan's intention.

Smiling, he tapped her head lightly with the green pearl sack in his hand and said lovingly:

"You are really clever. Only you can come up with such an idea."

"But it's better this way. Only in this way can Old Seventeen relax his vigilance."

Zhen Huan smiled but said nothing, but the emperor looked a little lonely:

"In the past, I really underestimated this brother and was almost deceived by his appearance."

After saying this, the emperor lowered his head in displeasure.

Zhen Huan knew that in the emperor's heart, he still cared about his brotherhood with Prince Guo.

Beneath the emperor's seemingly calm appearance, he hides a heart that longs for family affection.

In the past, the Empress Dowager would disregard her mother-son relationship with the Emperor for the sake of Yunzhen; then there was the rebellion of Prince Dun; and now Prince Guo is ready to make a move.

How could the emperor not be sad?

Thinking of this, Zhen Huan couldn't help but feel sorry for the emperor.

She gently held the emperor's face in her hands to comfort him:

"Your Majesty, this is not your fault. It's just that some people are greedy and have betrayed your Majesty's trust."

"Huanhuan..."

The emperor moved his Adam's apple, his voice hoarse:

"Fortunately, I have you by my side."

The emperor took Zhen Huan's hand that was placed on his face and looked at her with tenderness in his eyes.

Zhen Huan also responded with deep affection: "Your Majesty, no matter what happens, I will always be with you."

The emperor took her into his arms:

"Hanhuan, I will arrange for the Ministry of Internal Affairs to prepare your promotion ceremony."

Zhen Huan said in a sweet voice:

"I would like to thank you, Your Majesty."

This situation and this scene really seem heartwarming.

It was so intense that even Su Peisheng, who had hurried over to report, looked on with envy.

Neither advancing nor retreating.

The emperor's smiling eyes inadvertently glanced at Su Peisheng who was standing beside him with his head bowed.

He slowly released Zhen Huan from his arms and said in a deep voice:

"Su Peisheng, what are you doing standing there like a log? Come over here and report to me."

When Zhen Huan saw Su Peisheng, who always did things properly, she was stunned for a moment, then seemed to have figured something out and walked quickly towards the emperor.

That dazed look made Zhen Huan laugh so hard that she covered her mouth with a handkerchief.

"Your Majesty, you are indeed as good as a god. Ye's body was really carried away secretly."

"According to the report, just as our people threw Ye's body into the mass grave, two nimble people appeared and picked up Ye's body and ran away."

When Zhen Huan thought of the way Ye died, she felt uncomfortable.

She frowned, covered her mouth with a handkerchief and asked, "Did you see who it was?"

Su Peisheng shook his head:

"We heard from our people that those two people looked very unfamiliar. They had never seen them before."

"But in order to find out who the visitor is, our people will quietly follow the two people to see where they take Ye..."

"Finally, I saw it in the woods not far from the mass grave..."

"Prince Guo!" The emperor, who had been silent all this time, had eyes as deep as ink. He slowly raised his head and interrupted Su Peisheng's words.

Su Peisheng's expression froze for a moment, then he nodded:

"It is Prince Guo and his follower Ajin."

"Our people saw with their own eyes that Prince Guo buried Ye's body."

"After the burial, Prince Guo stood in front of the grave for a long time in silence, muttering something."

"But because we were too far away, our people couldn't hear clearly what Prince Guo said."

After saying that, Su Peisheng leaned down and stood aside with his head lowered and his eyes submissive.

Because according to his understanding of the emperor, the more silent the emperor was at this moment, the more frightening he would be when he exploded later.

Therefore, he had to prepare in advance to avoid the emperor's anger.

Zhen Huan also noticed the lingering dark cloud on the emperor's face. She wanted to comfort him, but she was also worried that it would harm the emperor's health.

So, I'll just vent my anger along with the emperor.

The hall fell into silence.

Su Peisheng gave Zhen Huan a look, as if asking her whether she would persuade him or not.

Zhen Huan shook her head.

After a long while, the emperor's angry voice came as expected in the imagination of Zhen Huan and Su Peisheng:

"That's unreasonable!"

"That's unreasonable!"

The emperor scolded them twice, and Zhen Huan and Su Peisheng knelt down hurriedly to calm the emperor down.

Following those two roars, the emperor's mood slowly calmed down. He lowered his eyes to look at Zhen Huan who was kneeling on the ground and said in a deep voice:

"Seventeenth brother is very good, really great!"

"He has been acting like a brother to me for so many years. I thought I treated him well, but I never thought he would harbor rebellious intentions."

"It's really true...human greed!"

After saying this, the emperor slammed his hand on the table, the anger in his eyes lingering for a long time.

Zhen Huan knew that although the emperor still felt bad after venting his anger, his emotions were not as strong as before.

Now is the best time to comfort the emperor.

Thinking this in her mind, Zhen Huan had already stood up and walked to the emperor. With eyes full of heartache, she took the emperor's hand and blew gently on it to her lips.

Seeing this, Su Peisheng quickly stood up and stepped back.

Accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger!

Even though he was always by the emperor's side, he was still afraid of his wrath.

Only after he walked out of the hall did he dare to let out a long breath.

When Zhen Huan saw Su Peisheng walk out, she looked at the emperor and said softly:

"Your Majesty, things have come to this point. It is not worth it to get angry and hurt yourself."

"The Emperor just named him Prince Guo because he rescued the princess and my concubine from the hands of the Ye family."

"Now he has ignored the emperor's order and rushed to collect Ye's body. This is so abominable and infuriating!"

"This makes me wonder if there is any hidden reason behind Ye's escape from Chunxi Palace?"

"The inside story? Huanhuan, do you suspect that someone did this on purpose?"

Zhen Huan nodded:

"I don't know if it's Prince Guo, but I have a suspicion in my mind. Why did Ye choose to escape on New Year's Eve instead of earlier or later?"

"The Ye family hates me to the core. If they intend to escape, they will definitely find a suitable opportunity to kill me and vent their hatred."

"Your Majesty, please think about it again..."

Zhen Huan's eyes turned and she came back to her senses:

"To be chosen as a guard in the palace, he must have gone through many rounds of selection. How could he be killed so easily and quietly by a woman from the Ye family?"

"Shouldn't we make some noise?"
