Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Zhen Huan

Faced with the emperor's criticism, Prince Guo felt a little panicked.

The reason why I say it flashed by is because he quickly regained his composure.

Especially when he learned that the person he rescued was the new Khan of Junggar, Mog, he felt more confident.

As a descendant of the Aisin-Gioro clan, although he disdained to form an alliance with the Dzungar Khanate, if the time came, he might take this step.

Prince Guo thought so in his heart, but he kept telling the emperor that he didn't dare.

"Seventeenth brother, I have seen everything about you over the years."

As he spoke, the emperor placed his hand on Prince Guo’s shoulder:

"It is precisely because I trust you that I chose you among so many relatives to go to Junggar. I don't trust anyone else."

Prince Guo stood up, clasped his hands and said:

"I will not let my brother down. I will cooperate with the general and put an end to the chaos in Dzungar as soon as possible."

"Good! I was right about you!" The emperor patted Prince Guo on the shoulder and motioned him to sit down.

Afterwards, the two chatted about some family matters before the Emperor let Prince Guo leave.

Looking at Prince Guo's departing back, the emperor's eyes flashed with murderous intent.

The Emperor's warning just now seemed to be directed at the Third Prince, but in reality it was a reminder for Prince Guo to repent.

But it was obvious that Prince Guo did not listen.

Just when the emperor was feeling upset, he looked up and saw Su Peisheng walking towards him quickly with a whisk in his hand.

"Your Majesty, Jinxi from Concubine Xi's palace has arrived. She said she is here on Concubine Xi's orders to bring soup to Your Majesty."

It turns out that Huanhuan cares about me the most!

Thinking of this, the emperor felt a warm current in his heart. When he looked at Su Peisheng again, his eyes were no longer as cold as before:

"Let her in." The emperor said calmly, but he seemed to be in a much better mood.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After saying that, Su Peisheng walked out quickly, and soon, he brought Jinxi before the emperor.

After paying her respects, Jinxi began to explain the purpose of her visit.

After the emperor glanced at Su Peisheng, Su Peisheng understood and brought the soup in Jinxi's hand to the emperor.

The emperor picked up the spoon and stirred the bowl gently a few times. The more he stirred, the warmer he felt.

Because to the emperor, this is not just a bowl of soup, but contains Zhen Huan's endless care.

"The drunkenness of Concubine Xi has subsided. I saw her face was still red just now."

"In reply to the emperor, my queen felt dizzy after returning from Changchun Palace."

"But the queen was really worried about the emperor, so she asked me to make this bowl of white fungus and lotus seed soup and send it to the emperor."

"It's really hard for Concubine Xi."

The emperor's eyes were hot, and after a moment of silence, he looked up at Jinxi:

"Go back and tell Concubine Xi that I am fine and ask her to have a good rest. I will go to see her tomorrow."

"Yes, Your Majesty." After saying that, Jin Xi prepared to turn around and leave.

"Forget it. I'd better go there in person to see Concubine Xi before I feel at ease."

The emperor said this as he walked down from the hall.

After going through so many conspiracies and plots, the emperor now cherishes this heartfelt care.

Chengqian Palace.

Zhen Huan was already sober at this time. The reason why she let Jing Xi say that was, firstly, because she really cared about the emperor;

Secondly, it was also to show the emperor again that she was drunk and the Third Prince’s affairs had nothing to do with her.

Thinking back on what had just happened in Changchun Palace, combined with the reactions of the Third Prince and Hongli, Zhen Huan was certain that this incident must be related to Hongli.

Zhen Huan thought that a man as shrewd and wise as the emperor would surely see through Hongli's thoughts, he just didn't show it.

The emperor has few children, and currently has only the third prince, the fourth prince, the fifth prince, and the sixth prince.

Seeing that the Third Prince is no longer fit for duty, the Fifth Prince has always been in poor health, and the Sixth Prince is still young, at the moment, the most suitable candidate for the Crown Prince falls on Hongli.

Based on Zhen Huan's understanding of Hongli, he will definitely do whatever it takes to completely eliminate the threat posed by the Third Prince.

While I was thinking, the emperor's voice rang in my ears:

"Hanhuan, are you feeling better? I'm here to see you!"

"Your Majesty..." Zhen Huan quickly collected her thoughts, lifted the quilt covering her body, and was about to stand up to pay her respects to the Emperor.

The emperor quickly stepped forward to stop her:

"Since you're still dizzy, you should rest well. Why are you still going through all this nonsense?"

Zhen Huan smiled and said:

"As the emperor's concubine, I must be fully polite."

"At present, the emperor pities me, so naturally he says that I don't need to perform these empty formalities. But if one day the emperor doesn't love me as much as he does now, won't he blame me for not being polite?"

The emperor took Zhen Huan's hand and placed it in his palm: "Is this the kind of person I am in Huan Huan's heart?"

Zhen Huan raised her eyes to meet the emperor's gaze:

"In the concubine's heart, the emperor is naturally very good."

"But too many things have happened recently, and I have seen them all and am afraid of them."

The emperor saw the worry in Zhen Huan's eyes, so he patted her hand and comforted her:

"I understand your concerns, but don't worry, Huanhuan. I will definitely protect you and our child."

Zhen Huan nodded:

"With Silang's words, Huanhuan feels relieved."

As she said this, Zhen Huan smiled and leaned her head on the emperor's shoulder.

The emperor touched Zhen Huan's hair thoughtfully for a long time before he slowly asked:

"Hanhuan, what do you think about the matter of the Third Prince?"

"And what he said about Hongli... is it true?"

Zhen Huan raised her head:

"This matter concerns the two princes, Huanhuan dare not say more."

The Emperor looked back at her:

"Hanhuan, you can say whatever you want. No matter what you say, I won't blame you. I just think this is an ordinary family affair and has nothing to do with others."

"Huanhuan believes that Silang will not misunderstand Huanhuan, but others may not think too much."

Zhen Huan raised her head, took the emperor's hand, and said seriously:

"Fortunately, Huanhuan has been with the emperor today, otherwise, Huanhuan would be implicated in this matter."

"After all, Huanhuan has people around the princes. In the eyes of others, if the third and fourth princes get into trouble at the same time, it will be most beneficial to the sixth prince."

"Even if Silang believes Huanhuan now, if he hears too much in the future, he will inevitably doubt Huanhuan. By then, Huanhuan may not be able to distinguish for herself even if she has a few more mouths, so..."

Zhen Huan paused, raised her eyes and looked at the emperor with tears in her eyes:

"It's better for Huanhuan to say less."

The Emperor knew what Zhen Huan said.

In this palace full of intrigues and deceptions, one could end up in an irretrievable situation if one is not careful.

The emperor asked himself, if he had not known today that Zhen Huan was drunk, he would have suspected Zhen Huan.

Many years later, whenever the emperor thinks of the scene of the nine princes competing for the throne, he can't help but feel frightened.

It is precisely because of the understanding of the cruelty of the struggle for the throne that emperors of all dynasties have always remained vigilant and suspicious.

They are equally suspicious of anyone who might have their eyes on the throne, and will never tolerate anyone once they are discovered.

But Zhen Huan's sincerity made the emperor feel more at ease:

"Huanhuan, among so many children, I prefer our Hongyu."

"Although I have never mentioned it to you, in my heart, Hongyu is my favorite candidate for the crown prince."
