Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Zhen Huan

"To answer your Majesty, this purse was indeed given to Eunuch Su by this servant."

"But it's not what Concubine Duan thought..."

Before Jinxi finished speaking, Zhen Huan hurriedly walked to the emperor and knelt down:

"Your Majesty, although I was not aware of this matter, I cannot escape the guilt of negligence. Please allow me to ask Jinxi for the reason, and then I will apologize to Your Majesty."

The emperor nodded. He also wanted to hear what Jinxi would say next to see if it was consistent with what Su Peisheng had just said.

Just as Jinxi was about to speak, she saw Xiao Xiazi rushing over:

"Your Majesty, Concubine Zhen and Concubine Kang are waiting outside the palace to see Your Majesty. They said they are concerned about Your Majesty's health and came to bring you some soup."

The emperor hesitated for a moment, then raised his hand towards Xiao Xiazi and said, "Let them in."

At this moment, Zhen Huan noticed the flash of joy in Concubine Duan's eyes. It seemed that these two must have discussed this with Concubine Duan long ago and came here to deal with the purse issue!

After all, if Concubine Duan wants to maintain a non-competitive role in front of the emperor, there are many things she cannot say.

Then she would have to rely on other people's mouths to achieve her goal of forcing the emperor to punish Zhen Huan.

After Concubine Zhen and Concubine Kang came in and paid their respects, they glanced at Su Peisheng and Jinxi who were kneeling on the ground, and then placed the soups and snacks they had prepared on the table in front of the emperor.

Seeing that the emperor didn't even turn his head, Kang Changzai smiled and brought the soup to the emperor, picked up a spoon and scooped a spoonful, blew it to his mouth, and handed it to the emperor.

The emperor moved aside in disdain, then looked at Kang Changzai and said impatiently:

"Didn't you see the two people kneeling on the ground?"

"Am I in the mood to drink soup right now?"

"Oh..." Kang Chang put down the bowl in his hand with an embarrassed look on his face and said with a smile:

"Your Majesty, what happened to Eunuch Su and Aunt Jinxi? Why are they kneeling on the ground for no reason?"

The emperor looked at her unhappily:

"You can find out what happened by listening for yourself. Do you still want me to tell you?"

Only then did Kang Chang shut his mouth in disappointment.

She originally wanted to pretend to be ignorant and cooperate with Concubine Duan, but she didn't expect that she would be disliked by the emperor before she even started.

Concubine Duan even rolled her eyes at her in her heart and secretly cursed her for being useless.

Just as everyone was silent with their own thoughts, Zhen Huan looked at Jin Xi and said sternly:

"Jinxi, you must tell the emperor everything in detail. Don't tell him a lie. Otherwise, not to mention the emperor, even I will not let you off easily."

"It's the lady."

Jing Xi kowtowed to Zhen Huan, then looked at the emperor and said:

"Your Majesty, the story is this: Eunuch Su once helped me when I was in trouble because we were from the same hometown. I was grateful, so I gave him a purse."

"Purse? Let me see!"

As Kang Changzai spoke, she walked towards Su Peisheng, took the purse from his hand, and looked at it together with Zhenpin.

"Willow Leaf Heart?"

Kang Changzai and Zhenpin looked at each other and said it in unison.

Their voices were very loud, as if they were afraid that others couldn't hear them.

"Cui Jinxi, you are so bold! How dare you give such a thing to Eunuch Su!"

Kang Changzai picked up the purse and asked loudly to Jinxi without caring about anything:

"Eunuch Su doesn't understand. Don't you understand what "willow leaf heart" means?"

"Of course I understand." Jin Xi said calmly.

"So you just took advantage of the fact that Concubine Xi was favored by the Emperor and ignored the palace rules?"

"Mr. Kang, please be careful with your words. Imperial Concubine Xi is not aware of what I have done..."

"Not aware?"

Kang Changzai snorted coldly:

"You are the head maid of Concubine Xi. If you made a mistake, it was Concubine Xi who made the mistake. How can you just brush off all the mistakes with a simple sentence of "I was not aware of it"? "

Kang Changzai's words became the most beautiful melody in Concubine Duan's ears.

Concubine Zhen also lowered her head and was secretly proud of herself.

In response to Concubine Kang's words, Zhen Huan said nothing and just stood there quietly.

In the eyes of Concubine Duan and Concubine Kang, this became proof that Zhen Huan was powerless to make excuses.

Little did they know that all of this was actually under their control. Only these three fools mistakenly thought they had succeeded and kept jumping around.

"Your Majesty... cough cough..."

Seeing that the time was right, Concubine Duan covered her mouth with a handkerchief, coughed twice, and walked towards the emperor with weak steps:

"Your Majesty, although Jinxi did something wrong, it was caused by a reason, and Imperial Concubine Xi was indeed unaware of it. Please give her a lighter punishment."

"Empress Duan, you are too kind. The maidservant beside Concubine Xi disregarded the palace rules and secretly communicated with the eunuch. This is clearly causing cholera in the harem."

"Everyone in the palace is talking about the emperor's plan to make the Sixth Prince the crown prince. In my opinion, Imperial Concubine Xi is obviously trying to use the palace maids around her to have an affair with Eunuch Su to achieve..."

"Shut up!"

The emperor glared at Concubine Kang:

"Who allowed you to discuss the Crown Prince's affairs in front of me? If you dare to say one more word, I will make sure you never utter another word again in your life!"

Kang Changzai was so frightened that he knelt down hurriedly:

"I...I know my crime."

Seeing Concubine Kang being scolded by the Emperor, a hint of disdain flashed in Zhen Huan's eyes.

Wouldn't it be better to just be a nobody like in the last life? Why did you have to get involved...

It seems that I have no choice but to take action against you!

Thinking this in her heart, Zhen Huan looked up at the emperor:

"Your Majesty, after listening to what Consort Kang said, I have to ask a question."

"Mrs. Kang, if what you said is true, then Eunuch Su accepted the purse, then doesn't that mean it's the Emperor's fault?"

Zhen Huan's words hit the mark exactly what the Emperor wanted.

When he heard Kang Changzai say this, he had the same thought in his mind. This was tantamount to slapping both him and Zhen Huan in the face at the same time.

The emperor's face turned pale and he looked at Concubine Kang.

Kang Chang was speechless for a moment:

"That's not what I meant."

Zhen Huan ignored her and continued to speak with reason:

"Jinxi made a mistake, and there will be a judgement. Besides, I have never said that I am innocent. Before you came, I had already told the emperor that I was guilty of negligence."

"Even Concubine Duan only wanted to investigate the matter thoroughly. Why did you say that it was me who instructed her to have an affair with Eunuch Su in order to plot for the position of Crown Prince before you even heard what Jinxi had to say?"

"Let's not talk about whether what you said is trying to spy on the emperor's mind and make irresponsible remarks about state affairs..."

"How can I bear such a big hat being put on my head?"

"I wonder if I have offended Concubine Kang in some way, which makes you speculate about me like this?"

"If I refuse to listen to anything and just say that you were sent by someone to slander me, how would you feel?"
