Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Zhen Huan

The night Concubine Duan was imprisoned in the cold palace, the more Hongli thought about it, the more anxious he became.

Whenever my mother thinks of what she did, my father can't help but feel disgusted with me, his son.

And I am just her adopted son, there is really no need for me to risk my life for this.

Rather than...

A vicious idea came into Hongli's mind...

Hongli clenched his hands, hesitated for a moment, looked at Li Yu beside him and said:

"Li Yu, go prepare some of my mother's favorite meals and deliver them to the cold palace in person later."

Li Yu had been with Hongli for many years, so he understood Hongli's thoughts:

"Yes, Fourth Prince."

After saying this, Li Yu looked at Hongli deeply, then hurried down to do his work.

Mother, you and I are mother and son, I hope you won’t blame me!

I have to plan for my future!

It’s just that you are too useless and can’t even deal with two idiots!

Don't worry, after you leave, your son will definitely find a way to become the crown prince...

After my son ascends the throne, I will kill Concubine Hua and Concubine Xi to avenge you!

I don't know how long it was before I heard Li Yu coming over to report that all the food had been prepared.

Hongli hesitated for a moment, but finally waved to Li Yu, signaling him to act quickly.

Seeing that Hongli had made up his mind, Li Yu didn't say anything more. He took the food and went to the cold palace.

After all, what they did was not glorious, and it could even be said to be a major event that angered God and the people.

Therefore, since Li Yu left, Hongli only felt that time was passing slower and slower, and every minute of waiting was a deep torment in his heart.

Cold palace.

Because the weather was too cold and there was only a tattered thin quilt in the room, Concubine Duan could only curl up on the couch, shivering uncontrollably.

Jixiang stood in front of the bed, tucking the corners of the quilt for Concubine Duan, and said tremblingly:

"Your Highness, today's incident happened too suddenly. The Emperor did not allow me to go back to the palace to pack up some gold and silver jewelry, and directly ordered someone to send you in."

"Such a thin quilt is fine for me, but how can Your Majesty bear it?"

As he said this, Jixiang couldn't help but shed tears.

Although Concubine Duan's body was not as frail as others saw, it was still much weaker than that of ordinary people.

Jixiang has been with Concubine Duan for many years, so how could he not worry about her?

Concubine Duan coughed heavily several times, and after a long time she straightened up and looked at Jixiang:

"Compared to the torment I've endured in my heart over the years, what's on my body worth?"

"If the baby in Concubine Hua's belly is gone today, even if I have to endure this inhuman torture every day, I am willing... cough cough..."

Because of coughing, Concubine Duan paused:

"But I just don't understand why, no matter how I planned, I was able to let that bitch Nian escape safely?"

"And the Emperor... could totally disregard our past friendship... ahem... send me to the cold palace!"

"I really don't want to accept this, I really don't want to accept this!"

As he spoke, he started coughing violently again.

Concubine Duan held Jixiang's hand tightly, and she didn't even realize that her nails were digging into Jixiang's flesh.

Jixiang unconsciously straightened her body in pain. Concubine Duan then realized that she had hurt her and hurriedly withdrew her hand:

"Jixiang, you have been following me for so many years, it has been really hard for you!"

Jixiang took two steps back and knelt down in front of Concubine Duan:

"My lady, I am not suffering. I have always known that you treat me well..."

"I know how much pain your Majesty has been going through these years, so no matter what you do, I understand. I don't blame you..."

Seeing Jixiang's serious expression, Concubine Duan should have been very touched, but she seemed to have lost some ability and did not feel any emotion in her heart.

Perhaps she was used to the indifference in the palace, or perhaps it was because she had been nurtured by hatred over the years that she no longer had the ability to empathize.

I don't know since when, she became a cold-blooded person in her bones.

"The ground is cold, get up quickly."

Concubine Duan managed to squeeze out a trace of relief:

"I have always known your loyalty to me."

But in Jixiang's eyes, all these became Concubine Duan's love for her.

She completely ignored the pain in her hand and wiped away tears with emotion:

"Your Majesty, the Fourth Prince will certainly plead for you. When the Emperor realizes how good you are, he will definitely issue an order to take you out."

Concubine Duan snorted coldly, looked at Jixiang and said coldly:

"Maybe they all wish me dead!"

"My lady, what are you talking about?"

Jixiang looked outside the door, fearing that someone was eavesdropping. Seeing that there was no movement at the door, he whispered to Concubine Duan:

"The Fourth Prince has always been very filial to the Empress. I think that what he said just now was just a temporary measure. That's why the Fourth Prince said those words in front of the Emperor."

"After all, if he didn't say that, the Emperor would also blame the Fourth Prince..."

Concubine Duan looked at Jixiang as if he was a fool, then lowered her head and stopped talking.

She knew very well what kind of person Hongli was.

If the emperor does not care about old friendships, then Hongli is even more indifferent than the emperor.

Concubine Duan thought that, in essence, Hongli was the same kind of person as her, cold-hearted and without any warmth at all.

At this moment, the door of the cold palace was opened with a creaky sound, and then Li Yu was seen walking in with a food box.

Auspicious and joyful:

"My lady, I thought the Fourth Prince would not ignore you, and here comes Eunuch Li with food."

Then, Jixiang looked at Li Yu and asked:

"Eunuch Li, is it because the Fourth Prince is worried about the Empress that he specifically asked you to come and bring food to the Empress?"

Li Yu did not answer immediately, but looked at the guard, and the young eunuch on guard immediately bowed and retreated.

"Your Majesty, these are specially prepared by the Fourth Prince. They are all your favorite dishes..."

Li Yu took the food out of the food box and said to Concubine Duan.

Concubine Duan had been in the palace for many years and had raised the Fourth Prince, so she knew very well the purpose of Li Yu's visit.

She glanced at Jixiang, who understood and quickly walked to her side and helped her up.

Concubine Duan quietly looked at the dishes on the table, looked at Li Yu with a fake smile and said:

"Please, Eunuch Li, try all the dishes first..."

Li Yu didn't expect Concubine Duan to say that. After a moment of silence, he looked up at Concubine Duan:

"Your Majesty, these dishes were prepared by the Fourth Prince. Don't you even trust the Fourth Prince?"
