Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Zhen Huan

Su Peisheng followed Xiao Xia Zi's gaze and looked over. Who else could the person in front of him be but Concubine Duan?

Here she comes, here she comes! She comes with good luck!

Su Peisheng was extremely excited after confirming this.

If his guess was correct, the purpose of Concubine Duan's visit was definitely not as simple as coming to express gratitude.

Seeing that the Fourth Prince was gradually gaining the Emperor's favor, as his mother, she would definitely not miss such a good opportunity to strike at Concubine Xi.

As a result, the image of non-competitiveness that Concubine Duan had always created in front of the emperor was completely destroyed.

The more Su Peisheng thought about it, the happier he became. When he went to meet Concubine Duan, he seemed particularly attentive.

This happened to give Concubine Duan the illusion that Su Peisheng was deliberately trying to please her to prevent her from telling the emperor about the purse.

The more this happened, the more Concubine Duan felt she had a sure win.

"Empress Duan, Imperial Concubine Xi is accompanying the Emperor in the palace with the princess and prince. Please allow me to go in and inform them."

Su Peisheng bowed and said to Concubine Duan with a smile in his eyes.

Concubine Duan coughed lightly and looked at Su Peisheng with a faint smile on her face:

"Thank you, Eunuch Su."

"Your Highness, what are you talking about? These are all my duties."

After saying that, Su Peisheng smiled, bowed to Concubine Duan, and walked quickly into the hall.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Duan is here. She said she wants to thank you for your grace."

When the emperor heard Su Peisheng say this, the smile on his face froze instantly.

Zhen Huan saw that the emperor was unhappy, and hurriedly smiled and comforted him:

"Your Majesty, it's so cold outside, and Concubine Duan has always been in poor health. It's really not suitable for her to stand outside the palace for a long time."

"I, the princess and the other brothers have been here for quite some time. It's time for us to go back."

As she spoke, Zhen Huan smiled and waved to the three children:

"Wanying, Longyue and Hongyu, come and pay your respects to the Emperor and thank him for his gift. He has other things to do later, so we have to go back to the palace."

The three people who were playing around, when they heard Zhen Huan's words, hurriedly put down what they were holding and walked towards the emperor.

"Thank you very much for your reward, Father."

"Be good!" the emperor said as he patted them on the head lovingly.

Afterwards, the emperor looked at Su Peisheng, and Su Peisheng understood and walked out, inviting Concubine Duan in.

Zhen Huan and the Emperor looked at each other, bowed, and prepared to leave with the children.

"Cough cough..."

Concubine Duan coughed twice, walked to Zhen Huan and stopped:

"Please stay, Concubine Xi. I have something to ask you. I will have to consult Aunt Jingxi next to you."

After saying that, she looked around at Jinxi.

Jinxi was a little flustered for a moment, but soon regained her composure. She looked at Concubine Duan and said humbly:

"How can I bear the words 'ask for advice' from Concubine Duan? As long as I know, I will tell you everything I know."

Zhen Huan understood what was going on, but pretended to be confused, and her gaze shifted from Concubine Duan to the Emperor.

The emperor looked displeased as he twirled the Buddhist beads in his hand with a gloomy look on his face.

Upon seeing this, Zhen Huan hurriedly asked the wet nurse to take the children back to the palace first.

The originally lively and cheerful atmosphere fell into silence because of the arrival of Concubine Duan.

Su Peisheng bent his body, looked frightened, and stood respectfully beside the emperor.

After paying her respects, Concubine Duan looked at the Emperor and said softly:

"Originally, I didn't want to talk about this, but after thinking about it, I felt that this matter was too serious. I was afraid that it would cause an irreparable disaster in the future and damage the reputation of Concubine Xi. So I had to ask Concubine Xi in person..."

The emperor did not say anything, but his eyes became increasingly profound, and there was a hint of annoyance in his eyes as he looked at Concubine Duan.

The emperor is such a wise and intelligent man. Concubine Duan asked to keep Jinxi right away and said such high-sounding words. How could the emperor not know what she meant?

Besides, the emperor had already learned the truth of the whole matter from Su Peisheng in advance. The emperor didn't take such a "small matter" seriously, but Concubine Duan brought it up again. How could the emperor not be annoyed?

Where has the character that I worked so hard to create, one that is non-competitive and as calm as a chrysanthemum, gone?

This inevitably made the emperor think again about the matter of the third prince. What role did Hongli play in it?

Does Concubine Duan know about this?

Or was all of this designed by the mother and son in order to eliminate dissidents and seize the position of crown prince?

The emperor was thinking about these things in his mind, but his face showed no emotion at all.

Zhen Huan glanced at the Emperor nervously, then looked at Concubine Duan:

"Sister Duan Fei, if there is anything I have done wrong, please tell me clearly so that I can know where I am wrong."

"Is such that……"

Concubine Duan looked at the emperor, then at Zhen Huan:

"Today, when Eunuch Su came to my palace to deliver the silk gift from the Emperor, he accidentally dropped a purse from his sleeve onto the ground."

"I picked it up and saw that it had a pattern of 'willow leaves and hearts' embroidered on it... There was also a necklace on the purse..."

"Because the necklace on it is too exquisite, there are not many people in the palace who can do it. Later, Jixiang mentioned that Aunt Jingxi, who is beside Concubine Xi, is very good at making necklaces..."

"If it were anything else, it would be fine, but this 'willow leaves forming a heart' pattern represents the love between a man and a woman."

"As the head maid of Imperial Concubine Xi, Jinxi should be extremely self-disciplined. If she really has thoughts that she shouldn't have, she will inevitably be suspected of causing chaos in the harem. Even Imperial Concubine Xi will not be able to escape the crime of not governing her subordinates strictly..."

"I was afraid that the matter would become a big deal, so I rushed to report it to the emperor as soon as possible. I could also ask Concubine Xi in person whether it was true."

As soon as Concubine Duan finished speaking, Jinxi immediately knelt down in front of the emperor:

"Your Majesty, I dare not!"

Su Peisheng also knelt down immediately:

"Your Majesty, I dare not do that!"

"What's the matter with the purse with the pattern of willow leaf and heart in Eunuch Su's sleeve?"

"Could it be that I have misunderstood and it's not Jinxi's craftsmanship?"

Concubine Duan spoke in a very gentle voice, giving people the feeling that she just wanted to make things clear and was not there to cause trouble.

When Jixiang heard Concubine Duan say this, he quickly agreed:

"Whether it is or not, you only need to compare Eunuch Su's purse with the one in Aunt Jinxi's room to know."

The emperor still did not speak, but instead fixed his eyes, twirled his Buddhist beads, and quietly watched everything in front of him.

"Eunuch Su, what's going on? Is what Concubine Duan said true?"

"Purse? What purse? Eunuch Su, can you take it out and show it to me?"

Upon hearing this, Su Peisheng hurriedly took out the purse from his sleeve and handed it to Zhen Huan. After Zhen Huan saw it, she saw Jin Xi and said seriously:

"Jinxi, let me ask you, is this purse something you gave to Eunuch Su?"
