Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Zhen Huan

The next day, Prince Guo left Beijing and set out with the army to quell the rebellion in Dzungar.

Li Yu also took advantage of this opportunity to send the poison to the cold palace and hand it to Concubine Duan.

Yikun Palace.

Concubine Hua just received news from the palace servants.

"What? That bitch Concubine Duan wants to see me?"

Concubine Hua slammed the table and stood up, she couldn't believe her ears:

"There is nothing good between me and her. She hates me to the core. Do I have to deliver myself to her and let her push me again?"

"No! No! I won't go!"

"Even if she invites me a hundred times, I won't go!"

"Besides, the cold palace is a filthy place, so I don't want to go in there."

As she spoke, Concubine Hua waved her hands at Songzhi, asking her to quickly take the silver and send away the palace maid who came to report.

And reminded him not to let such things affect Concubine Hua's mood during her pregnancy.

Both palace maids received the silver and were naturally happy. After nodding and bowing to Songzhi, they left with smiles on their faces.

Just running errands and getting money from both sides, where can you find such a job?

With this in mind, the palace maid rushed towards Yongshou Palace again.

Concubine Duan told him that if he couldn't invite Concubine Hua, he should invite Concubine Xi. Since he had received the benefit, he naturally had to go.

At this time, Zhen Huan was talking to the shaman grandmother, and they decided that the ritual would be performed three days later.

In order to reassure the emperor, the shaman grandmother will perform rituals in each palace in turn.

When the shaman mother-in-law left, Xiao Yunzi hurried in and whispered in Zhen Huan's ear:

"My lady, a young eunuch from the cold palace came to report that Concubine Duan...wants to see you."

You want to see me? I wonder what kind of sinister tricks are waiting for me?

"Go tell that person that I am not here to see you."

"Yes, ma'am."

"I heard that she also sent someone to invite Concubine Hua, and Concubine Hua said the same thing as you - she won't see you."

"I'll go and tell him right away." Xiao Yunzi said, and was about to turn around and leave.

"Wait!" Zhen Huan suddenly called out to Xiao Yunzi, as if she had thought of something.

Xiao Yunzi turned around again and looked at Zhen Huan:

"My lady, is there anything else you want to tell me?"

Zhen Huan hesitated for a moment, then looked at Xiao Yunzi seriously:

"Go tell the eunuch who came to deliver the message that I will first report the matter of the shaman grandmother to the emperor, and then I will go."

You invited Concubine Hua first, and then invited me. You must have been prepared to frame us sisters.

In that case, I will grant your wish.

Whether you plot against me or not is your idea, but whether you can avoid being plotted against is my ability.

Concubine Duan, if my guess is correct, today will be the last time you and I meet. I want to see how you will get yourself into trouble...

"My lady..."

Although Xiao Yunzi knew that Zhen Huan must have her reasons for changing her mind, he still wanted to remind Zhen Huan that this journey was dangerous.

Zhen Huan saw the worry in Xiao Yunzi's eyes and said with a smile:

"Xiao Yunzi, I know what you want to say, but don't worry, I know what I am doing."

"Just reply, I will take care of the rest."

Only then did Xiao Yunzi leave with peace of mind.

"Your Majesty..." Jin Xi, who had been silent all this time, walked up to Zhen Huan and said:

"Concubine Duan's trip must be a trick. It is obvious that she is coming for Your Majesty and Concubine Hua. If Your Majesty knew this, why did you take the risk and go?"

“If you don’t enter the tiger’s den, you won’t catch the tiger’s cubs.”

"This time, apart from using her own life to frame me, what other capital does she have?"

"She wants to frame me, and I just want to watch her dig her own grave."

As she spoke, Zhen Huan cast a comforting look towards Jin Xi:

"Come on, accompany me to the Yangxin Palace to see the emperor."

"It's the lady."

Seeing that Zhen Huan was confident, Jin Xi said no more.

Cold palace.

When Concubine Duan heard that Concubine Hua would not come and Zhen Huan would, she was disappointed, but she quickly accepted this reality.

Finally one has arrived!

But no matter who comes, don't even think about leaving here safely!

Thinking this in her heart, a faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth:

"Jixiang, go prepare the tea first. I will welcome the distinguished guest later."

The word "distinguished guest" almost popped out from between her teeth, and she said it with gritted teeth, without a trace of emotion.

After receiving the order, Jixiang took the teapot and prepared to go.

Concubine Duan took out the arsenic that Li Yu had given her from under her pillow, with a creepy smile in her eyes:

No matter how smart you are, Concubine Xi, you would never have thought that I would use my own life to frame you!

If you want to blame someone, blame Concubine Hua. She was the one who gave you this opportunity to bring about your own destruction!

After thinking about this, Concubine Duan scraped some powder into it with her armor without hesitation, and then hid the medicine bag in her sleeve.

After making all these preparations, Concubine Duan leaned against the head of the bed with her eyes closed, quietly waiting for Zhen Huan's arrival.

After an unknown amount of time, Jixiang had prepared the tea, and Zhen Huan, supported by Jinxi, came to the door.

Because it was too cold, the door remained closed. Jin Xi glanced at Zhen Huan, raised her hand and gently knocked on the door.

"Bang bang..."

The sound of the wooden door startled Concubine Duan, who was in deep thought, and she opened her eyes.

But this kind of fright only came from her heart, and her appearance was still as cold as ever.

She winked at Jixiang, who opened his mouth but finally opened the door obediently.

With a creaky sound, the wooden door was opened.

At this moment, scenes of meeting Concubine Hua in the cold palace in her previous life flashed through Zhen Huan's mind.

It was just as cold that day, and in just such a room. She wore the dress embroidered with sunset glow that Concubine Hua had given her, which symbolized a short life. She watched Concubine Hua hit her head against the wall and died in despair...

And when she stepped into the room again today, Zhen Huan was greeted by Concubine Duan's stern eyes and a face shrouded in gloom.

Compared to the cold weather, this kind of cold is enough to make people scared and want to escape.

Zhen Huan couldn't help but shudder in her heart. It wasn't because she was timid, but it was human instinct.

If she didn't know that she was still alive, Zhen Huan would really feel like she had arrived in the underworld, but her face remained calm.

"Your Highness, I pay my respects to the Empress Duan. May the Empress Duan live in peace and happiness..."

According to etiquette, as a noble concubine, Zhen Huan really does not need to bow to Concubine Duan.

But Zhen Huan was thinking of Concubine Duan from her previous life, so this action could be regarded as a complete farewell to Concubine Duan.

"Noble Concubine Xi, how can I accept such a great gift from you? I should just bow to you."

As she said this, Concubine Duan was about to kneel down and salute Zhen Huan.

Zhen Huan immediately reached out and helped her up:

"In my heart, no matter what position I hold, my qualifications are far inferior to yours, Sister Duanfei."

"I am bowing to you to show my personal feelings. It has nothing to do with palace rules."
