Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Zhen Huan
Chapter 540: Hongmei's Conflict
Zhen Huan's words made the emperor fall into deep thought.
When the emperor learned that Wen Yi was held hostage by Ye and Zhen Huan wanted to use her in exchange, he was completely concerned about this matter.
The more worried he was, the angrier the emperor became.
So he sent Su Peisheng to Chunxi Palace and brought the guards to the emperor to question him.
Unexpectedly, when Su Peisheng left, the guard had already died.
Chunxi Palace was already remote, and there were no concubines living in the nearby palaces, so the people who were sent did not find anything unusual.
The Emperor was upset at the time and didn't even take a look at the guard's body before letting Su Peisheng drag him away. Now after hearing what Zhen Huan said, he also felt that something was fishy.
"Su Peisheng!"
After being frightened all day, Su Peisheng finally relaxed and was about to take a nap, but he was frightened by the emperor's voice in his ears.
He thought it was hallucination!
But he was always careful in his work and would not allow himself to be careless at all. He raised his hand, slapped himself on the face twice to wake himself up, then walked quickly into the hall.
"Your Majesty..." Su Peisheng bowed and saluted.
"Is there anything unusual about the body of the guard who died in Chunxi Palace today?"
Su Peisheng stared and thought:
"The guard was stabbed through the heart with a dagger and died instantly."
"I carefully examined his wound. It was narrow in the front and wide in the back. It seemed that the knife had pierced through his body from the front."
"Passing in front of you?"
"The emperor is now more certain that the guard was not killed by Ye."
"good."
The emperor frowned slightly:
"Based on the guard's skills, if Ye wants to kill him, he can only attack him from behind unexpectedly, and it is impossible to attack him from the front."
"But I have already checked and it is true that no one has ever been to Chunxi Palace."
"That's weird!"
Unable to figure out the reason, Zhen Huan frowned. After wandering around for a few circles, she suddenly seemed to remember something and looked at Su Peisheng and asked:
"Eunuch Su, when you went there, did you find any signs of fighting nearby?"
Su Peisheng thought about it seriously and shook his head:
"The strange thing is this place. When I went there, I didn't see any signs of fighting."
"I was still wondering at the time, what kind of expert could take the life of a guard without any fight?"
"It's just that I saw that the emperor was worried about the matter of the queen and the princess, so I didn't say much."
After listening to Su Peisheng's words, Zhen Huan kept thinking in her mind, who could it be?
If it was Prince Guo, he would have made careful arrangements before taking action and would not have given me a chance to survive.
And if she was really instructed by Prince Guo, according to Ye Lanyi's personality, she would definitely kill me the first time instead of saying those useless words.
Without any fight, a guard's life was taken!
Under what circumstances would the guards not even have a chance to fight back?
If it wasn't Prince Guo, who else in the palace could do these things under the emperor's nose without leaving any trace?
These things, like a tangled mess, lingered in Zhen Huan's mind, leaving her puzzled.
She kept asking herself this question in her mind, hoping to find the answer that was closest to the truth.
"Unless it's an acquaintance!"
"Otherwise, no matter who it is, you can't take the guard's life without any fight!"
After figuring it out, Zhen Huan looked at the emperor with shining eyes.
"Your guess is correct, I think so too."
The emperor glanced at Zhen Huan, then looked at Su Peisheng:
"Su Peisheng, send someone to investigate tomorrow. Even if you have to search the entire palace, you must find out who is behind this."
"It's the emperor." Su Peisheng said softly.
Seeing that it was getting late, Su Peisheng thought that he could not stay in the hall any longer, so he retreated tactfully.
Sure enough, as soon as Su Peisheng left, the emperor no longer cared about those troubles and picked up Zhen Huan horizontally.
"Your Majesty, I am still injured!"
"It's okay, I'll be gentle!"
Although it was not perfect, Zhen Huan and the Emperor spent a sweet New Year's Eve.
But it’s different for other people in the palace.
Broken Yuxuan.
Ever since Hongmei left the Yangxin Palace and secretly looked at Ye Lanyi's body, she had nightmares all night long.
Either she dreamed of being killed by Prince Guo, or she dreamed of the Emperor killing her and her child together.
In short, as soon as I closed my eyes, all I saw was a bloody scene.
She couldn't help but doubt what she had been doing these days. Was it really right?
Even someone like Ye Lanyi who loves the prince so much could be shot to death by him with a single arrow. Will there be such a day for me and the baby in my belly?
Hongmei thought, if it was her, it would be fine, since her life was saved by Prince Guo anyway, so if he wanted it, he could take it, but the child was innocent!
Once she had this idea, Hongmei couldn't help but want to waver.
But...but the prince saved me after all, I can't have the idea of betraying the prince, I can't!
The more Hongmei thought about it, the more upset she felt. In the end, she started hitting her head with her hands.
After seeing this, Qin Xin hurriedly dissuaded him and said:
"My lady, you are pregnant now, so you must take good care of your body!"
Hongmei pushed her away like crazy and said sternly:
"go away!"
"Get out, all of you get out!"
Qin Xin wanted to continue persuading her, but was pulled out by Qin Yun by the arm.
As soon as she reached the door, Qin Xin angrily shook off Qin Yun's hand:
"Qinyun, why did you pull me out? Didn't you see the young lady..."
"The young lady is already in a bad mood. If we go against her wishes, I think she will be even more agitated."
"Why don't we wait outside until the young master calms down? If anything happens, he will call us!"
"Hey!"
Qin Xin sighed softly:
"You're right, but we've been with you for so long, and we've never seen you lose your composure like you did today. What happened?"
Qin Yun looked inside the hall and grabbed Qin Xin's sleeve:
"You know the young lady's temper. She keeps everything to herself and never reveals it."
"Besides, the young lady is pregnant, so it's inevitable that she will feel uncomfortable. We should serve her more attentively in the future."
Qin Xin nodded and said "hmm" softly.
No matter how hard they tried, they could not understand the pain and confusion in Hongmei's heart at this moment.
At this moment, Concubine Duan, who was sitting on the couch with her eyes lowered, could not fall asleep for a long time.
The candlelight shining on her cold face made her look even more sad and desolate.
"Mother, little Weizi can't stay."
After Hongli reviewed everything that happened today in his mind, he raised his eyes to look at Concubine Duan and slowly said:
"Today's incident happened so suddenly that the Emperor didn't have time to think about it carefully. If the Emperor comes to his senses tomorrow, it will inevitably be traced back to Xiao Weizi."
