Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Zhen Huan

Just as the emperor had expected, Concubine Shu could not sleep all night after moving into Shoukang Palace.

As soon as she closed her eyes, what appeared before her eyes was either the bloodshot eyes of the late Queen Mother or the scene of Prince Guo being executed by the Emperor...

Every time I woke up, my body was soaked with sweat.

So, she could only get up, pick up the Buddhist beads, stamp her steps restlessly in the hall, twisting the beads in her hands, and chanting "Amitabha, Amitabha..." over and over again, as if only in this way could she gain a brief peace of mind.

In Yongshou Palace, Zhen Huan learned from Liu Zhu that Lingxi and the emperor were indeed father and daughter.

This also confirmed her previous guess - Prince Guo designed to replace Hongmei's child with his own child.

With such evidence, Prince Guo could not escape the blame no matter what.

Afterwards, Liu Zhu told Zhen Huan everything about Yu Jiao having a witness.

Zhen Huan felt that the time was ripe, so when the concubines came to pay their respects to her the next day, she kept Concubine Hua and a few others and determined the next plan of action.

In order to deal with possible accidents, the sisters strengthened the protection of the palace to ensure that the children would not be harmed at this critical juncture.

It was on this day that Prince Guo went to the palace to visit Concubine Shu and told her the whole story.

Concubine Shu has been in the palace for many years, so she is naturally not a fool.

In fact, as early as when she received the emperor's order, she already knew that the situation in the palace had changed...

Otherwise, why would the emperor and the empress dowager let her enter the palace after confining her to Ganlu Temple for so many years?

The only explanation is that she was taken hostage.

She understood all this, but for now, she had no choice but to enter the palace.

Facing Prince Guo's apology to her, Concubine Shu comforted her with tears in her eyes:

"Yunli, no matter what the outcome is, I will not blame you. In my heart, you will always be my good son."

"It's just that... Mother really feels sorry for her two grandsons... If it succeeds, it'll be fine. But if it fails..."

"Mother, I will not fail!"

Prince Guo interrupted Concubine Shu with a firm face:

"My son has already made all the arrangements, and Princess Chaogui has already made a move on the emperor... The emperor has no suspicions."

"As long as we can get to the truth before the emperor knows it and make sure he never has the chance to speak, we can rest assured."

"Then my son will expose Chao Gui in front of everyone, and he will become a hero!"

Hearing what Prince Guo said, Concubine Shu frowned and shook her head:

"That being said, Concubine Xi is not so easy to deal with..."

"Given the importance the Emperor places on her, he will certainly tell her many things. She also has the Sixth Prince as her child, so it's inevitable that she will use her father's power in the previous dynasty to become your enemy."

"If she finds out the identity of the Seventh Prince, won't everything you have done now be wasted?"

Prince Guo understood the meaning of Concubine Shu's words, but still asked:

"So what does mother mean...?"

Facing Prince Guo's question, Concubine Shu stopped twirling the Buddhist beads in her hand, turned back and looked at him steadily and said:

"If we want to accomplish this, we must first eliminate Concubine Xi and her supporters in the court."

"Mother, what you mean is that your son..."

Concubine Shu looked at Prince Guo with sorrowful eyes, then turned around and paced around the palace:

"Before, because of my personal relationship with Yujiao's mother, I secretly wanted you to take good care of her for me, but now... your life is in danger, and I can't care so much..."

As she spoke, Concubine Shu closed her eyes tightly. She looked as if she was in great pain and confusion.

After a long while, she opened her eyes, looked at Prince Guo and said:

"Send someone to quietly spread Yujiao's background... When the news reaches the emperor's ears, you will take Yujiao to ask for mercy from the emperor..."

"Then you can incite the ministers of the previous dynasty to make a report and put pressure on the emperor. In this way, even if the emperor doesn't want to deal with it, I'm afraid he won't be able to do so."

"This way, we can remove the two obstacles of Concubine Xi and Zhen Yuandao, and buy you more time..."

"Mother, you are absolutely right. I will definitely not let you down."

As Prince Guo spoke, he helped Concubine Shu sit down:

"After such a long period of planning, Yujiao has already developed feelings for me. If it weren't for the emergency, I wouldn't want to betray her at this time."

"However, since I have made this decision, I can no longer be soft-hearted. I will go back and see if I can convince Yujiao to tell me something that is unfavorable to Concubine Xi."

"This time, we will try to prevent Concubine Xi and the Zhen family from making a comeback."

Concubine Shu nodded and looked at Prince Guo and reminded him:

"Yunli, until you are sure whether Yujiao is willing to abandon her mother's family for you, do not tell her all your plans, otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous."

"Don't worry, mother. Your son knows all this."

Prince Guo gently patted Concubine Shu's hand to comfort her:

"But I believe that Yujiao will definitely not betray me."

Seeing Prince Guo's confident look, Concubine Shu said softly:

"Mother believes in your judgment. Don't worry about me anymore. I will take good care of myself."

"Just go ahead and do it. Mother is waiting for your good news in the palace."

"Ah."

Prince Guo looked at Concubine Shu deeply, then turned around and left quickly.

At this time, Zhen Huan also realized that Prince Guo might make a fuss about Yujiao's background. After thinking it over again and again, she decided to take the initiative to confess to the emperor.

Although she could not guarantee that the emperor would forgive her father, the possibility of him being severely punished was not high.

Because of internal and external troubles, the emperor is in need of new people.

Zhen Huan thought that it was impossible for the Emperor to go to such lengths to deal with useful people and cause unrest in the court just because of such an incident.

Furthermore, if Yujiao is the daughter of a traitor, then isn’t Concubine Shu, who currently lives in Shoukang Palace, also the daughter of a traitor?

Since there is a precedent, the emperor will not necessarily want to put the Zhen family to death!

Moreover, Zhen Huan also believed that due to the importance the emperor attached to her in this life, the emperor would not be too harsh on her family in this matter.

On the contrary, it is very likely that he will conceal the truth for her when others are unaware.

It is better for her to apologize to the emperor in person than to wait until Prince Guo exposes her.

Thinking of this, Zhen Huan hurried to the Yangxin Palace with Jing Xi.

On the way, he happened to meet Prince Guo, who was also in a hurry to leave the palace.
