Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Zhen Huan

"Emperor...Emperor..."

Kang Chang was terrified. She tried to explain to the emperor:

"I didn't mean it..."

"Not intentional?"

The emperor put his hands behind his back and looked at her coldly:

"Then you should find someone to prove it. Otherwise, how can I trust you if you are just talking nonsense?"

Kang Chang was speechless for a moment. These were her thoughts. How could she find witnesses?

"My concubine...My concubine..."

"You know yourself that not every incident can be witnessed by a witness, so why do you harbor such strong malice towards Concubine Xi?"

"Even Concubine Duan pleaded for Concubine Xi, but you insisted that it was Concubine Xi who ordered Jinxi to do it!"

"If I hadn't known about this from the beginning, Imperial Concubine Xi would have been speechless this time and convicted with just a few words from you!"

"I...I was wrong."

Kang Changzai stepped forward and pulled at the emperor's clothes, begging bitterly:

"Your Majesty, I was wrong. I was anxious at the moment and was afraid that this matter would affect Your Majesty's reputation, so I misunderstood Concubine Xi."

The emperor ignored her and turned to look at Zhen Huan:

"Empress Xi, you are the victim in this matter, so I will leave Concubine Kang to you to handle it."

"As for Su Peisheng and Cui Jinxi, each of them will be fined three months' salary as a warning."

Su Peisheng and Cui Jinxi kowtowed to the emperor and said:

"I, your servant, thank you very much, Your Majesty."

The emperor glanced at the two of them and motioned for them to get up.

When Kang Changzai heard that the emperor had handed her over to Zhen Huan for disposal, she knelt down beside Zhen Huan, lifted up her skirt and begged for mercy:

"Imperial Concubine Xi, I really know that I was wrong. I will never dare to jump to conclusions without knowing the truth again."

"Please, Concubine Xi, show some mercy and spare me this time."

Zhen Huan looked down at her and saw that the domineering attitude was no longer on her face. Although she was angry, she thought that she should not be too harsh in front of the Emperor, otherwise she would follow in the footsteps of Concubine Duan.

Fortunately, Concubine Kang is a simple-minded person and not very difficult to deal with. She is now making things difficult for her at the instigation of Concubine Duan.

Zhen Huan thought, since the emperor always praised her for being pure and kind, she had no choice but to act for him:

"Your Majesty, since Consort Kang knows she is wrong, please give her a lighter punishment."

The emperor looked at Zhen Huan intently and felt that Zhen Huan was indeed the person he valued the most. Her heart was so pure and kind that it could not be expressed in words!

I really didn't make a mistake in choosing her. I like Huanhuan like this!

Although Concubine Kang is hateful, if Huanhuan really punishes her severely, I will feel that I have misjudged Huanhuan!

Thinking this in his heart, the emperor looked at Zhen Huan with a look of even greater tenderness.

It was the emperor's look that gave Zhen Huan a deeper understanding of the emperor's unpredictable mind.

No matter what the emperor says, as a concubine, you must strictly observe your proper manners, otherwise, you might accidentally touch the emperor's reverse scale.

The will of God is unpredictable and can change at any time. There are also opportunities for change, but it is different for the people below.

Realizing this, Zhen Huan secretly thanked herself for being sober in this life.

"Mr. Kang, Concubine Xi is kind and I cannot bear to punish you, but I cannot help but seek justice for her."

"Since you love to talk so much, I will let you talk as much as you want."

"Then, you will speak a hundred sentences to the wall of the palace every day. Then write down everything you said and send it to me."

"Do this for a month straight. I want to see if I can change your habit of speaking without thinking."

The emperor's voice was not loud, but his words were full of majesty.

Kang Changzai couldn't help but let out an "ah", then nodded hastily:

"Yes, yes, I accept the punishment."

"I will say one hundred words every day this month."

"You supervise!"

The emperor pointed at the maidservant Mo'er beside Kang Changzai and said:

"If your young lady says one less word every day, I will hold you accountable."

Moer hurriedly saluted tremblingly:

"It's the Emperor."

After dealing with Concubine Kang, Concubine Duan saw the emperor's eyes glancing at her, so she hurriedly explained:

"Your Majesty, this matter is all my fault. I originally wanted to prevent it from happening. I wanted to investigate this matter in front of Your Majesty and Imperial Concubine Xi, and correct the mistakes if there are any, and give justice to Eunuch Su and Jinxi if there are none."

"I never thought that Concubine Xi would almost be blamed."

The emperor's eyes turned, and he regained his composure after a moment:

"You are also considering the overall situation. It's Su Peisheng's fault for being careless."

Su Peisheng quickly bowed and admitted his mistake:

"Yes, yes, it's all the servant's fault."

The emperor glanced at Su Peisheng and did not respond. Instead, he said to them calmly:

"Well, it's getting late. We have wasted so much time on such a small matter. I still have official business to attend to. You all should go down now."

"It's the Emperor."

After they saluted, they prepared to turn around and leave.

At this moment, the emperor suddenly spoke:

"Concubine Duan, go back and tell Hongli that you want to examine his studies and we'll talk about it another day."

Concubine Duan hesitated for a moment and wanted to say a few words for Hongli, but when the words came to her lips, she was choked back. She knew that it was her behavior today that angered the emperor.

I had no choice but to turn around and salute, saying humbly:

"It's the Emperor."

It's really a case of trying to steal a chicken but ending up losing the rice!

Concubine Duan must have felt so regretful!

Knowing that Hongli had been eagerly looking forward to being close to the emperor...

But now, this opportunity has disappeared again.

This made her involuntarily put all her hatred on Zhen Huan.

Concubine Xi, why do you always go against me?

You want to get close to the person I hate, but I lose what I want because of you!

While thinking about these things, he had already arrived at the gate of the temple.

Concubine Duan collected her thoughts, exchanged a few more words with Zhen Huan, and said some words of apology. Then, supported by Jixiang, she left the Palace of Tranquil Longevity, coughing with every step.

Kang Chang originally wanted to take Concubine Zhen and leave with Concubine Duan, but was stopped by a look from Concubine Duan.

If they walked together at this time, wouldn't it be telling others clearly that they were in the same group?

Concubine Duan would never make such a mistake.

Seeing Concubine Duan leave, Concubine Kang also bowed to Zhen Huan with a dark face and said:

"I am leaving now, too."

Concubine Zhen was still immersed in the fear just now and had not come to her senses. Seeing Concubine Kang bowing, she also bowed.

Afterwards, he turned around and left with Kang Changzai.

"Mrs. Kang is here!"

When Kang Changzai turned around, Zhen Huan called her:

"I hope this experience will help you remember what to say and what not to say."

"Wouldn't it be nice to chat and laugh with Concubine Zhen like we used to?"

Kang Changzai did not understand what Zhen Huan meant and thought that she was mocking her, so she turned around and looked at Zhen Huan expressionlessly and said:

"Thank you for your concern, Imperial Concubine Xi. I will definitely remember today's lesson."

Kang Changzai almost gritted his teeth as he said the words "I will definitely remember the lesson learned today."

After saying that, he left without looking back.
