Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Zhen Huan

"Mass grave?"

The boy nodded:

"Well, I was afraid of being discovered, so after I arrived at the mass grave and saw them dumping the bodies there, I quickly ran back to report to you, Madam."

"According to your observation, is there anyone still alive?" Yu Jiao asked the servant.

The servant thought about it and shook his head:

"There was no sign of any struggle in the bag. In my opinion, the chances of someone being alive are extremely slim."

No matter how small the possibility is, Yujiao is unwilling to give up.

She lowered her head and pondered for a while, then looked up at the servant and asked:

"Would you do me one more favor?"

"I have never been valued in the mansion. The monthly allowance is not enough for my expenses. I don't have any other skills, but I am brave. If I can be valued by the lady, I am willing to serve you like a dog and a horse."

As he said this, the boy knelt down in front of Yujiao.

Yu Jiao raised her hand to signal him to get up:

"I'm glad you think so."

"But you can rest assured that if this matter is handled well, I will definitely not treat you unfairly in terms of money."

"Thank you very much, Madam. I will go and do my job right away."

As he spoke, the boy stood up and added:

"If we go too late, even if there are survivors, they will probably be suffocated to death because they can't break free from the bag."

Yujiao was about to nod, but when she looked up she suddenly saw a dark shadow flash past the window. Yujiao hurriedly put her index finger to her lips, signaling the servant not to speak anymore.

The dark shadow only stayed by the window for a moment and then left in a hurry.

Yujiao thought that the dark shadow might just want to make sure whether she was asleep or not.

About half an incense stick of time had passed before Yujiao asked Cui'er to go out and take a look. After confirming that the surrounding environment was safe, she quietly let the servant out.

The waiting process seems particularly long.

Yujiao hardly slept a wink that night, but she received no news from the servant.

But she still had to go to the Wen Mansion. Firstly, she was eager to know the results of Wen Shichu's comparison yesterday. Secondly, she also wanted to give Lingxi's hair that she got yesterday to Wen Shichu.

After breakfast, Yujiao waited for a long time, but still did not see the servant. She was extremely anxious and made a decision to go to Wen Mansion first.

So she asked Cui'er to prepare some gifts so that she would have something to say when someone asked her about it.

Just as Yujiao and Cui'er were about to walk out of the door, Prince Guo called out from behind:

"Yujiao..."

Yu Jiao hurriedly stopped walking upon hearing the voice, quickly adjusted her facial expression, and then turned to look at Prince Guo:

"Your Majesty..."

Prince Guo walked towards Yujiao in two steps, took her hand, and asked tentatively, seemingly concerned:

"Yujiao, where are you in such a hurry to go so early?"

Yujiao looked back at the gift in Cui'er's hand, then looked at Prince Guo and said with a smile:

"I went to visit Liu Zhu yesterday and learned that she was suffering from severe morning sickness. I was really worried, so I thought of bringing some things over to see her."

"You and Liu Zhu grew up together and are as close as sisters. It's only right for you to go and see her."

"It's just that Liu Zhu has always been loyal to Concubine Xi, and you and Concubine Xi have had a grudge for a long time. If Liu Zhu knew about this, would she blame you?"

Facing Prince Guo's temptation, Yu Jiao smiled and said:

"What is your Majesty thinking about?"

"My affair with Concubine Xi is my family affair. Not to mention that I have not mentioned this to Liu Zhu, even if I did, I am afraid Liu Zhu would not be able to take care of it with her current energy."

"A woman must obey her husband after she gets married. This is true for me and Liu Zhu as well."

"No matter how loyal Liu Zhu was to Concubine Xi before, she will soon be a mother. She will only focus on her own small family, giving birth to children, and supporting her husband and raising children."

"I'm afraid her relationship with Concubine Xi will only become more and more of a formality."

"As for me..."

Yu Jiao paused and looked at Prince Guo:

"As long as Concubine Xi does not change her prejudice against the prince, I will never recognize her as my elder sister in my heart."

Yujiao's words hit the mark of Prince Guo's heart. He took Yujiao's hand, placed it on his chest, and looked at her with what he thought was a very affectionate look:

"Yujiao, you have done so much for me. I really don't know what to say. I can only thank God for bringing such a good wife like you to me."

"For you, no matter how Concubine Xi views me in the future, I don't want to care anymore."

"Your Highness..." Yu Jiao pretended to be moved and tightly held Prince Guo's hand, and the two of them looked into each other's eyes with affection.

I don't know how long it took, but Yujiao's eyes were sore from watching, so she pretended to be shy and looked away, saying softly:

"My Lord, it's time for me to go!"

"Well, then you should go early and come back early." Prince Guo's voice was very gentle. For a moment, Yujiao could hardly tell whether it was true or false.

So after saying goodbye to Prince Guo, Yujiao turned around and left quickly.

She said it over and over in her heart, hoping that things would end quickly, otherwise she might really fall.

It's horrible, man it's horrible!

Yujiao thought this in her heart and walked faster and faster as if she was running away.

Just as Prince Guo was looking at Yujiao in deep thought, A Jin hurried over. It turned out that Prince Guo had just returned from the post station and came to Yujiao.

"Your Majesty, everything has been done. Last night, I watched Concubine Yu from outside the door. There was no movement in the house. I guess Concubine Yu didn't know anything."

Prince Guo looked back and nodded:

"Well, I originally thought that Yujiao had been with Concubine Xi for many years, and she would have learned some of Concubine Xi's cunning and strategies..."

"Now it seems that I was overthinking. She was just a little girl obsessed with love, and was easily deceived by the deep affection I played."

"If I need you in the future, there's no guarantee that Yujiao won't fight with Concubine Xi for me. If that really happens, this scene will be exciting enough!"

Ah Jin bowed and saluted:

"Your Majesty is wise."

"I wonder if everything went well yesterday, Your Majesty?"

"smoothly."

A cold light flashed in Prince Guo's eyes:

"It's up to Chao Gui next."

The scene returns to Yujiao. On her way to the Wen Mansion in a sedan chair, she was suddenly stopped by a "beggar".

Yujiao asked Cui'er to give him some silver, but the beggar deliberately revealed his face from his messy hair when Cui'er approached him.

Isn’t this the servant who works for Lady Fujin?

Why are you here dressed like this today? Why don’t you just go back home?

Just as Cui'er was holding the silver and thinking, the servant dressed as a beggar suddenly reached out and snatched the silver, then ran away in a panic without paying attention to everyone's eyes.

Cui'er felt something in her hand. She slowly unfolded it and found that it was a piece of paper.
