Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Zhen Huan

"Mrs. Kang, Concubine Zhen, before I begin to ask you questions, I have to remind you that if you confess, you will be treated leniently, but if you conceal something, you will be treated severely."

"Especially in front of the Emperor, I won't tolerate any lies from you..."

"Yes, Concubine Xi."

Kang Changzai looked at Concubine Duan with hope, but Concubine Duan still dodged.

This made her feel even less confident.

At this moment, an idea flashed through Kang Changzai's mind:

If Concubine Zhen could give me up to take the blame, why can't I give Concubine Duan up?

Zhen Huan seemed to see what Kang Changzai was thinking, and turned to look at Kang Changzai and asked:

"Mrs. Kang, Concubine Zhen and Zilan all insisted that it was you who ordered it. Do you have anything else to say?"

After some mental preparation, Kang Changzai decided to save his own life first:

"Noble Concubine Xi, how could I have the courage to do such a thing, yes... yes..."

Kang Changzai looked at Concubine Duan hesitantly, wanting to say something.

Concubine Duan felt Kang Changzai's welcoming gaze, which made her already uneasy heart even more turbulent.

After all, everyone in the palace knew about her feud with Concubine Hua.

So even though she knew that the two of them would not have any evidence, Concubine Duan still felt unprecedentedly nervous.

She knew very well how serious the emperor's suspicion could be.

She thought quickly in her mind so that she could deal with the next accusation.

Finally, after hesitating for a moment, Kang Changzai gave away Concubine Duan.

Before Concubine Duan could kneel down, Concubine Hua rushed over and gave her a loud slap in the face:

"Bitch, it's you!"

"You have killed one of my children before, and I have made you suffer. I originally thought that we would not interfere with each other in the future!"

"I never thought that you would not give up and wanted to kill me and the baby in my belly!"

The emperor did not stop Concubine Hua, but instead cast a suspicious look at Concubine Duan.

Concubine Duan quickly glanced at the expression on the emperor's face, covered her mouth with a handkerchief and coughed twice, then looked at Concubine Hua and said calmly:

"Hua Fei, even prisoners sentenced to death still have a chance to appeal their innocence. Could it be that you won't even give me a chance to explain myself?"

The emperor looked at Concubine Duan impatiently and said in a deep voice:

"Hua Fei, please come here and listen to what Duan Fei has to say."

After hearing what the emperor said, Concubine Hua reluctantly stepped away from Concubine Duan and came to the emperor.

I want to see how you, a vicious woman, can argue!

Thinking this in her heart, Concubine Hua glared at Concubine Duan with anger.

Concubine Duan took a few steps forward, knelt down in front of the emperor, and said in a weak manner:

"Your Majesty, I don't know why Concubine Kang wants to rape me, but today's incident has nothing to do with me."

"Although I have had a feud with Concubine Hua, as Concubine Hua just said, it is all in the past..."

"If I still had hatred towards Concubine Hua, I would not have apologized to Sister Hua in front of so many sisters some time ago."

"I know very well that the past cannot be reversed, so when the Emperor came to Yanqing Palace that time, I had already thought it through completely..."

As she spoke, Concubine Duan seemed to be exhausted, and her kneeling body fell down uncontrollably. The look in her eyes when she looked at the Emperor was also a little vague, and it looked as if she was about to fall down soon.

"Your Majesty, please look at my broken body. I am barely able to keep my breath... cough cough..."

"I know very well that I don't have much time left to live, so how could I have the heart to plot against others!"

"I understand that Concubine Kang is afraid of being identified, so she wants to use the feud between Concubine and Sister Hua Fei to make the Emperor suspect me in order to escape the crime. But I... ahem... will never plead guilty for something I didn't do."

At this time, Hongli also knelt down hurriedly:

"Father, you know that my mother has always been in poor health, so she rarely interacts with others, let alone instructing others to take action against Empress Hua."

"Father, please allow me to ask Concubine Kang a few questions on behalf of my mother."

The emperor did not speak, but glanced at Zhen Huan.

He wanted Zhen Huan to give her a way out.

Zhen Huan immediately understood the emperor's thoughts:

"Your Majesty, why don't you let the Fourth Prince ask a few questions? We can't just listen to one-sided statements about whether there is or not."

The emperor then nodded.

Kang Chang was already terribly frightened at this point.

"Mrs. Kang, you said that it was your mother who ordered you to do it. Then may I ask when and where did your mother order you to do it? Do you have any relevant witnesses or physical evidence?"

Hongli asked several questions in a row, leaving Kang Changzai's mind blank and she didn't know how to answer.

After all, in this matter, Concubine Duan only gave her hints and did not leave any actual evidence.

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

"Does Kang Changzai's hesitation mean there is no evidence?"

"Do you know what it means to frame the heir to the throne and slander a high-ranking concubine?"

Hongli knew Kang Changzai's character very well, so he shocked her speechless with just a few words.

Afterwards, he took this opportunity to kowtow to the emperor and said:

"Father, although I don't know the reason behind this, just looking at Concubine Kang's reaction, I know that Concubine Kang is deliberately slandering Mother."

"Please, Father Royal, help me and give me justice."

"Fourth Prince, don't be anxious. You have to believe that the Emperor will never let anyone suffer injustice."

Seeing that the emperor was about to lose his patience, Zhen Huan looked at Concubine Kang and said:

"Mr. Kang, this is your last chance. If you don't confess, you will be charged with framing the heir to the throne and defaming high-ranking concubines!"

Kang Chang's psychological defenses had been completely broken at this time.

She had no evidence, and Zhenpin and Zilan kept harassing her. She knew that if she didn't defend herself now, she would never have the chance to speak again.

Concubine Duan, I devoted myself to you, but you kicked me away.

If I am not having a good time, I will definitely not let you have an easy time!

"I say...I say..."

Thinking this in his heart, Kang Changzai crawled to the emperor, took a deep breath, and mustered up his courage and said:

"Your Majesty, the idea of ​​framing Concubine Hua was indeed mine, but I was also instigated by Concubine Duan to act against Concubine Hua."

"Mrs. Kang is here..." Concubine Duan acted as if she was deeply distressed, pointed at Mrs. Kang and said:

"Don't spit on anyone!"

"Are you slandering me? After Kang Changzai has finished speaking, the emperor will make his own judgment. Concubine Duan, why are you so anxious to refute me?"

Concubine Hua looked at Concubine Duan with cold eyes:

"Could it be that you are afraid that Kang Changzai might accidentally say something that might be detrimental to you?"
