Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Zhen Huan

Chapter 542 Hongli destroys the evidence

Ever since Concubine Duan was fed safflower by Concubine Hua, her body was not as weak as others saw, but it was still much weaker than that of an ordinary person.

So, after a crazy period of throwing and smashing things around, her body was obviously exhausted. After coughing a few times, she leaned on the couch, gasping for breath.

Hongli didn't say a word, just sat down in front of Concubine Duan, supported her and rubbed her back.

After a long time, Concubine Duan slowly came back to her senses from her previous collapse. She half-opened her eyes and looked at Hongli weakly:

"You're right... If I want to achieve what I want, I shouldn't dwell on the pain of the past."

"Although I never thought that one day I would...ahem...pretend to be nice to her in order to achieve my goal, but this is also a method."

"Even if it's just to get the emperor's mercy, I should kneel before Concubine Hua, cry and beg, and show my vulnerability."

"Only in this way can the emperor remember what I have done for him? And who made me become what I am now?"

"As long as the emperor still feels a little guilty about me, he will not be suspicious of me in the future. This way, it will be much easier for us to take action."

Hongli was very happy with Concubine Duan's words, but his frown showed no sign of relaxing:

"Mother, your analysis is very correct. If you can really think this way, your son can finally put his mind at ease."

Concubine Duan nodded, indicating that Hongli could rest assured:

"Then I will find a place where the Emperor and all the concubines are present and kowtow to Concubine Hua to admit my fault!"

At this point, Concubine Duan's teeth creaked:

"I want to see whether Concubine Hua is willing to reconcile with me, given her temper."

"It's better that she doesn't want to!"

Hongli's eyes and eyebrows showed a calculating look:

"If she doesn't want to, even if the emperor doesn't say anything, he will inevitably complain about Concubine Hua in his heart."

"By then, my mother's compromise will only make my father feel even more guilty."

"This way, we will be in an even better position."

Hongli became happier and happier as he spoke, and by the end he couldn't hide the light flashing in his eyes.

Concubine Duan looked at him silently for a long time:

"Hongli, you have really grown up. You are worthy of being my mother's son. You have told me everything that I am thinking."

Hongli met Concubine Duan's eyes and his tone softened:

"My son is my mother's son, and it is only natural that he should be in tune with her."

Concubine Duan nodded in satisfaction, and then seemed to remember something, looking at Hongli and saying meaningfully:

"It's getting late. Don't you have things to deal with? It's better to do it sooner rather than later. It will be bad if you wait until tomorrow!"

Hongli nodded in understanding:

"Yes, mother. I'll go right away."

After returning to the prince's residence, Hongli changed his gentle and submissive attitude in front of Concubine Duan and said to Li Yu:

"Go find an unfamiliar servant and give this to Xiao Weizi, tell him to take it, and tell him that I will take good care of his family for him."

"Also, let him write it down in his own hand..." Hongli covered his mouth with his hand and whispered something in his ear that only the two of them could hear.

Li Yu was a trusted eunuch of Hongli. He was very efficient in his work. Hongli trusted him, so many things were entrusted to him.

"It's the Fourth Prince."

After saying that, Li Yu took the medicine bag from Hongli and hurried out.

He understood what Hongli meant. He wanted Xiao Weizi to take poison and write a confession, taking all the blame for killing the guards and letting Ye Lanyi go on his head.

As a result, the clue was lost along with Xiao Weizi's death.

At that time, even if the emperor sent Su Peisheng to investigate, he could only find this result, and this was the final result.

After arranging all this, Hongli sat quietly in the hall alone and began to think about how to make a fuss about the matter between the Third Prince and Ying.

This year is destined to be an uneasy year!

The next day, Zhen Huan got up early and helped the emperor change his clothes. Su Peisheng stood by and waited to receive the emperor's orders at any time.

After putting on his imperial hat, the emperor looked at Su Peisheng:

"Su Peisheng, don't pass on the decree to promote Concubine Xi to Imperial Concubine Xi yet. Wait until I finish my morning court session and go to Yikun Palace in person, then you can pass on the message."

"Also, regarding the matter of Concubine Xi's relocation to the palace, you must ensure that everyone is well managed and that there is no room for any negligence."

"As for the death of the guard at the Chunxi Palace that you mentioned yesterday, you should take people to investigate as soon as possible. No matter who did it, you must get to the bottom of it."

"I have been very upset recently because of the war in Junggar. Please go to the palace and ask Prince Guo to come to see me."

"If he asks what it is, you don't need to explain in detail. Just say that I sent him an important message."

With every order from the emperor, Su Peisheng lowered his waist a little.

After answering "yes" repeatedly, Su Peisheng thought to himself that this year was the most difficult year he had ever had in all these years.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but curse Ye silently in his heart.

After Su Peisheng left, Zhen Huan lowered her eyes and put the jade ring on the emperor's thumb, then raised her head and looked at the emperor with a touching expression:

"Your Majesty has been burdened with state affairs lately, yet he still has to worry about my promotion. I am really worried."

The emperor took her hand and placed it on his chest:

"It's okay. I'm happy to do this for you."

"But the auspicious clothes you will wear on the day of your promotion will probably take some time to prepare, and the corresponding preparations cannot be neglected. I'm afraid it will take until the beginning of March before the official ceremony of conferring the title can be performed."

Zhen Huan's eyes are full of affection:

"I am not in a hurry. I will never forget the kindness your Majesty has shown me."

"Okay!" The emperor patted Zhen Huan's hand, his eyes full of tenderness:

"Then I will go to court first."

Zhen Huan nodded and watched the emperor leave.

In my previous life, I really don’t know what I was thinking. I actually betrayed the emperor for Prince Guo…

"My queen, it's getting late. Please hurry back to the palace and let me help you change your clothes. We have to go to Concubine Hua's palace to pay our respects to her later!"

"Okay!" Zhen Huan came back to her senses and, supported by Jing Xi, walked towards Chengqian Palace.

Even if you want to move to Yongshou Palace, you have to wait until the decree of promotion comes down.

Before I had taken a few steps, I suddenly saw a man jumping out from the side like a monkey:

"I have asked for a reward from the Imperial Concubine Xi."

When she saw clearly who was in front of her, Jin Xi pointed at him and said angrily:

"You little monkey, aren't you afraid of jumping out like this and scaring our queen?"

Xiao Yunzi raised his head and smiled innocently:

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I just heard the news and I am so happy that I came here to congratulate you."
