Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Zhen Huan

Zhen Huan was shocked and quickly stood up and saluted the emperor:

"Your Majesty, I have never thought of this."

"I know you don't think so. It's me who thinks so."

The Emperor narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhen Huan:

"It's just that Hongyu is still young, so I didn't mention this matter. Otherwise, I don't know how those old men from the previous dynasty would have made such a fuss in my ears."

"Your Majesty..." Zhen Huan was about to say something, but was interrupted by the emperor's gentle voice:

"Hanhuan, you should just call me Zhen Silang!"

"I still like to hear you call me Shiro."

As he said this, the emperor stood up with a smile and pulled Zhen Huan into his arms.

Zhen Huan was a little dazed for a moment. What was the emperor talking about?

Why is the attitude completely different from that in the previous life?

Let Hongyu be the crown prince? Are you testing me again?

Thinking of this, Zhen Huan's heartbeat involuntarily began to quicken.

The emperor felt Zhen Huan's heartbeat and said, "Huan Huan, are you shy? Why is your heart beating so fast?"

Can you not jump?

You are one way when you are in a good mood, and another way when you are in a bad mood!

I have to be alert all the time, otherwise if you become suspicious one day, Hongyu and I will be in big trouble!

Thinking of this, Zhen Huan raised her eyes and looked at the emperor:

"Hanhuan is not shy, she is terrified!"

"Your Majesty, do you know how much harm your casual words today will bring to Hongyu?"

"If this word gets out, Huanhuan is really worried that Hongyu will be plotted against by someone with ulterior motives."

The emperor's eyes shone, and he looked at Zhen Huan with a firm face and said:

"If anyone dares to have such thoughts, I will never forgive him!"

"But the emperor has the third, fourth and fifth princes. Concubine Mei and Concubine Hua are both pregnant. The emperor will have other children in the future... There will always be someone suitable to be the crown prince."

"Hanhuan only hopes that Hongyu can grow up happily and safely. Other than that, Huanhuan has no other requests."

"I understand your intentions, Huanhuan."

The Emperor patted Zhen Huan's hand to comfort her:

"Before today, I may have had high hopes for Hongshi."

"He is my eldest son. Although I know that he is dull and not fit to be an emperor, I still hold a glimmer of hope that he will eventually become wise."

"But today, he actually did such a wrong thing in front of everyone..."

"If I still make him the crown prince, wouldn't it mean that all the good reputation I have accumulated over the years will be ruined in his hands?"

"When the ministers see him, won't they remember that he coveted my concubines? How will I cope with this in the future?"

"As for Hongli, he has a cold personality and I don't like him."

"Today he played those cheap tricks in front of me again, and thought I couldn't see through him... I just didn't want to expose him so quickly."

"Hongshi did something wrong, but Hongli was a little too eager."

"If he was not in a hurry to expose Hongshi today, but directly pleaded for Hongshi, I might even look at him with a higher regard."

Hearing the emperor bring this up, Zhen Huan pretended to be ignorant and asked:

"Your Majesty, do you suspect that the Fourth Prince really gave Third Prince advice on the Jiang family's matter as he said?"

"If there wasn't someone behind the scenes fanning the flames, even if Hongshi wanted to, he wouldn't have the guts to do it."

The emperor spoke with extraordinary decisiveness, with a hint of majesty in his voice.

If something like this happened, let alone the emperor, even an ordinary person would lose his temper, right?

Although Zhen Huan was happy to see this result, she still said a few words on behalf of Hongli:

"Perhaps the Fourth Prince was too eager to gain the Emperor's love, which is why he made the wrong decision for a moment."

"Moreover, Concubine Duan is a person who does not fight or compete. Even if it was really done by the Fourth Prince, I am sure that Concubine Duan does not know the inside story. Please do not vent your anger on Concubine Duan because of this."

"No fighting or arguing?"

The emperor looked at Zhen Huan meaningfully, and then said:

"Maybe it was like this in the past, but since she knew that Concubine Hua was pregnant, she seemed to have become a different person. This makes me doubt her intentions."

Zhen Huan continued to speak for Concubine Duan, but whether she spoke good words or bad words depended on what the emperor was thinking:

"Concubine Duan has been ill for so many years. Now that Concubine Hua is pregnant, it is hard for her to accept it for a while."

"After that bowl of 'duck soup', didn't Concubine Duan also ask for peace with Concubine Hua? I think she did this only after she had thought it through."

The emperor shook his head:

"When they were in the Qiandi Palace, she and Hua Fei were the best of friends. She knew Hua Fei's temper very well. She had strong feelings about love and hate. How could she accept her request for peace?"

"In my opinion, she was just forcing Concubine Hua to make a mistake, and she did it on purpose for me to see."

Hearing the emperor say this, Zhen Huan felt indescribably happy!

The emperor saw all the jealousies and intrigues in the harem.

Who to favor and who to suspect is just a matter of the emperor's thought.

Take the case of Concubine Hua and Concubine Duan for example. The Emperor was initially wary of Nian Gengyao's power, so he was always on guard against Concubine Hua. He also took advantage of Concubine Hua's love for him from time to time to create a few enemies for her.

Later, the Emperor took advantage of Concubine Hua's trust in Concubine Duan and made Concubine Hua drink the bowl of "pregnancy medicine" without any preparation.

This caused the two daughters of generals to break up completely, and also made it impossible for the families behind them to unite again.

This is also the reason why Concubine Duan was able to hold on to her position as a concubine even though she was not favored.

But now, everything has changed. Nian Gengyao has retired after his success, and Hua Fei no longer covets power. She took the initiative to ask for retirement and made a promise that reassured the emperor -

If the baby was a prince, he would be immediately given under the name of another relative of the clan, thus fundamentally eliminating the emperor's suspicion of her.

When the emperor recalled the past, he naturally felt a strong sense of guilt towards Concubine Hua.

This guilt far exceeds the guilt for damaging Concubine Duan's body.

In other words, the emperor felt that he had made up for all of Concubine Duan's losses with his many years of preferential treatment and his son "Hongli".

But Concubine Hua has really been wronged for so many years...

Does it sound like the emperor is too heartless?

But this is the Emperor!

He has to deal with countless things every day, so he doesn't have the time, nor does he want to focus too much on the right and wrong of the women in the harem...

This is the cruelty of the times and the sorrow of every woman in the harem.

It is precisely because she saw this clearly that Zhen Huan, who lived a new life, did not put too much thought on love.

Because she understands that only winners have the opportunity to change their lives, and the weak can only be eliminated in the torrent of the times...
