Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Zhen Huan

"Now is not the time to argue about who is right or wrong, but to find a way to properly resolve this matter as soon as possible."

In her previous life, Jing Xi had to give herself to Su Peisheng in order to help Zhen Huan return to the palace from Ganlu Temple.

This life obviously is not the case.

Judging from Jinxi's nervous expression, she really has feelings for Su Peisheng.

Perhaps it was the changes in experiences in this life that made Jinxi's mentality different from that of the previous life.

"But now is a time of trouble. Both the court and the harem are staring at you, Your Majesty."

"If Concubine Duan tells the emperor about the matter between me and Jinxi, I'm afraid it will be detrimental to the queen and the Sixth Prince..."

Su Peisheng felt very regretful, but he had been very careful, so how could he let the purse fall out of his sleeve?

Zhen Huan could see Su Peisheng's anxiety and self-blame, but things had already happened and regret could not change anything.

"This matter must not be told to the Emperor through anyone else..."

After thinking for a moment, Zhen Huan waved at Su Peisheng, signaling him to come closer:

"After you go back, first..."

Zhen Huan covered her mouth with her hands and spoke out her next plan in a voice that only she and Su Peisheng could hear.

The emperor is not an unreasonable person, and this life is very different from the previous one.

In her previous life, Zhen Huan was completely unprepared and was reported to the Queen by Concubine Jing.

In order to defeat Zhen Huan, the Queen deliberately made this matter public. The Emperor had to take the thoughts of everyone in the harem into consideration, so he sent Su Peisheng and Jinxi to the Ministry of Punishment.

In this life, Zhen Huan holds the initiative, so there is considerable room for maneuver in this matter.

"I understand. I will go back right away."

After listening to what Zhen Huan said, Su Peisheng glanced at Jin Xi and left in a hurry.

Afterwards, Zhen Huan gave Jing Xi a few more instructions.

"This servant will definitely cooperate with Eunuch Su."

Jin Xi looked at Zhen Huan with gratitude:

"My lady, why do you never ask me why I do this? You don't even say a word of blame?"

Zhen Huan smiled and took Jin Xi's hand:

"In the eyes of others, you may just be a maidservant beside me, but in my heart, you are the person I trust the most."

"The reason why I didn't ask was because I had already prepared myself mentally, but I didn't expect you to develop so quickly."

"I never expected that Eunuch Su's purse would fall out of his sleeve again..."

"again?"

Hearing what Zhen Huan said, the thoughtful Jin Xi couldn't help but ask:

"Has Su Peisheng's purse ever fallen before?"

"I gave him this purse a few days ago. If this is true, he is too careless."

Zhen Huan smiled and didn't respond:

"Well, I think Eunuch Su has already arrived at the Yangxin Palace. It's time for us to get ready and go there."

The so-called last time was something that happened in the previous life, which Jinxi certainly didn’t know about.

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

The emperor was busy reviewing a pile of memorials, and Su Peisheng carefully placed the tea in front of the emperor.

"Is it done?"

The emperor asked without looking up.

Su Peisheng held the tray in his hand and looked at the emperor with a smile on his face:

"In reply to the Emperor, it has been done."

"What was Concubine Duan's reaction?" The emperor stopped writing and looked at Su Peisheng.

Su Peisheng replied with a smile:

"Empress Duan was very happy and said she would come over to express her gratitude later."

"When I went there, I happened to see the Fourth Prince leaving Concubine Duan's palace. I was about to go up to him to pay my respects, but I saw the Fourth Prince walking past me with a big smile on his face."

"I think the Fourth Prince learned from Concubine Duan that the Emperor wanted to personally examine his studies, and he was so happy that he didn't see me for a while."

The emperor did not speak. He lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then put down the red brush in his hand:

"It doesn't matter if you are happy or excited, just don't lose your sense of proportion."

As he said this, the emperor stood up, and Su Peisheng also moved his steps.

I don’t know if it was a coincidence or intentional, but the purse in my sleeve fell to the ground.

At the same time, the emperor's eyes fell on the purse:

"Show it to me."

The emperor was originally twisting Buddhist beads with both hands. When he saw the purse, he freed one hand and reached out to Su Peisheng.

Su Peisheng bent down with a smile on his face and handed the purse to the emperor calmly.

The emperor first took the purse and looked at it, then looked at Su Peisheng:

"Willow Leaf Heart?"

"Su Peisheng, which palace maid gave this to you?"

"Your Majesty, this was given to me by my fellow countryman Cui Jinxi."

"The one beside Concubine Xi?"

Su Peisheng nodded:

"Yes, it's the head maid beside Concubine Xi."

Seeing that the emperor did not speak, Su Peisheng continued:

"It is like this, Your Majesty. In the past, when Cui Jinxi was not yet a member of Concubine Xi's entourage, I helped her with a small favor unintentionally. Who would have thought that she would always remember it and said that she wanted to repay me."

"I saw that she took it seriously, and thought that if I accepted it, I would feel that it was a trivial matter not worth mentioning, and I would feel ashamed to accept it;"

"But if she doesn't accept it, I'm afraid she will feel uneasy."

"So I just said something and asked her to give me whatever she had."

"At the time, she only had this purse, so..."

As he spoke, Su Peisheng knelt down and kowtowed to the emperor:

"I know that this is against palace rules. Although there are reasons for it, I shouldn't have given it to others privately. Please punish me, Your Majesty!"

The emperor's face was calm as he looked down at Su Peisheng:

"Does Concubine Xi know about this?"

Su Peisheng looked up at the emperor and said sincerely:

"I guess you don't know. I have never shown this to anyone, but..."

Su Peisheng paused:

"Today, when I went to Yanqing Palace to deliver silk to Concubine Duan, I accidentally dropped this on the ground."

"Did Concubine Duan say anything?"

"At that time, Concubine Duan also said the words "willow leaves meet the heart" just like the emperor did, and then returned the purse to the servant."

"Your Majesty, you also know that I am a rough man, how can I understand the meaning of 'willow leaves are in harmony with the heart'."

"I just saw that this purse was exquisite, so I thought of using it to store some small change for convenience."

The emperor saw that Su Peisheng realized the truth belatedly and looked very terrified. After thinking about it for a moment, he decided not to pursue the matter further.

After all, this matter is not a big deal in the emperor's mind.

"You are someone close to me, so you must not be careless when doing things."

"Since you know that this is against palace rules, don't carry this purse with you in the future, so as not to be seen by others and tarnish the reputation of me and Concubine Xi."

After saying this, the emperor threw the purse to Su Peisheng.

Su Peisheng held the purse in his hand and looked at the emperor with gratitude:

"Yes, Your Majesty. I think Concubine Duan is not a nosy person and will not hold on to this matter. I will be careful in the future."
