Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Zhen Huan

Chapter 77: Playing Hard to Get

"I have no face to see the emperor."

After Bai Mudan stopped, she still did not look back at the emperor.

The emperor likes this tactic of playing hard to get the most.

The more you don't let him see it, the more he wants to see it.

"No matter how ugly the facial injury is, I have already seen it. What are you afraid of?"

As he said this, he put his hands behind his back and walked towards Bai Mudan.

Bai Mudan touched her face.

"I am ashamed to see the emperor. First, I am embarrassed. Second, I blame myself for being reckless and offending Lady Wan."

Bai Mudan is always good at acting cute in front of the emperor.

This pitiful look softened the emperor's heart a little.

"You have contradicted many people!" Then he turned Bai Mudan's body around:

"Let me have a look."

Only then did Bai Mudan turn around obediently.

The emperor held her shoulders with both hands and looked at her face carefully.

Then he took her hand and sat on the bed:

"You were slapped on the face by Concubine Hua, and you didn't even tell me in advance."

Bai Mudan played pitiful in front of the emperor:

"I know my fate is humble, and I had no choice but to contradict Concubine Hua. I am the daughter of my parents, and I don't want to be humiliated by her for nothing."

"However, I don't want to tell the emperor in advance, also for the sake of face."

"I have done something wrong, so I should bear the consequences. If I cause trouble for the emperor, what would I become?"

These words sounded so nice that even though the emperor knew what was going on, he couldn't bear to blame him.

The emperor asked her if she had ever suspected that the ointment was tampered with by Jianqiu?

Bai Mudan looked at the emperor cautiously and said that she had suspected in her heart that it was the Queen who ordered Jianqiu.

But she was just a small concubine, and the person that the Queen could not tolerate should be Zhen Huan, not her.

The emperor's expression changed immediately when he heard this:

"How can you discuss the Queen?"

Bai Mudan immediately lowered her head and admitted her mistake to the emperor in a delicate voice.

Then she bowed her head and said:

"I also have grievances. I was born in a lowly family, and yet I still want to be the emperor's woman. I am looked down upon by others."

"But being beaten is also a punishment, and I have accepted it. Why do I still have to be secretly murdered?"

The emperor has so many women, and except Zhen Huan, no one dares to speak to him like this.

So even though what Bai Mudan said was stingy, the emperor was willing to listen more.

This feeling reminded him of Concubine Hua, who was fearless.

Once upon a time, when they were in the palace, Concubine Hua also complained to him like this.

He also listened patiently.

But now, because of the events of the previous dynasty, he and Concubine Hua can no longer be so intimate.

The emperor didn't know why, but he always thought of Concubine Hua when he saw Bai Mudan.

The emperor looked at Bai Mudan and said, "You were born in a lowly family, yet you are still favored by me. Does that make your life difficult?

Bai Mudan said, to be the emperor's woman, does it have to be of noble birth to be legitimate?

She would be bullied if she was a little bit lowly, and she would not accept that!

The emperor found her unyielding look very unique.

He likes women who are different.

He told Bai Mudan that as long as he allowed Bai Mudan to stay with him, no one else would be allowed to say anything.

He also told her to take good care of her face before serving the emperor.

The emperor comforted Bai Mudan and left.

Bai Mudan looked at the emperor's leaving back with a smug look on her face.

She looked at Su Xin beside her, and she had completely lost the delicate and delicate look she had shown in front of the emperor just now:

"The emperor hates it most when others think I am lowly and easy to bully!"

Su Xin said that the current situation was a huge mess. Although Concubine Wan was cleared of suspicion, the Queen was not completely innocent either.

Bai Mudan picked up the ointment that was mixed with white flower syrup a few days ago and laughed.

After Su Xin saw it, she quickly reminded:

"The imperial physician has already applied medicine on your face. Please don't touch these white flower pills. Can I take them and throw them away?"

Bai Mudan touched the bun on her head, and the expression on her face became solemn:

"I used to be a shameless person, I was good at throwing tantrums, acting like a spoiled child, and now I still can't bear to give up this face!"

Su Xin was busy comforting her: "My lady, please don't belittle yourself. Even if you have been wronged, doesn't the emperor still love you?"

Hearing Su Xin say this, Bai Mudan's face regained its happy look:

"In fact, I have to thank the person who wanted to harm me."

"The emperor will not favor me if I am only slapped a few times. The emperor will only get angry if I am hurt miserably."

"I can't let Concubine Hua beat me for nothing!"

As she spoke, she picked up the ointment containing white flower and began to apply it on her face.

Su Xin smiled and said, "The Emperor will definitely ask the imperial physician to heal your face."

Bai Mudan looked at her face in the mirror, which was covered with Baihuadan ointment, and said with a sinister look:

"The self-torture tactic hurts oneself, but it works."

After this incident, her favor became even more secure.

Having tasted the sweetness, she was not prepared to let her face heal so quickly. She wanted the emperor to feel sorry for her for a while longer.

In this life, because there was no fake pregnancy of Shen Meizhuang, Zhen Huan had less worries in her heart.

One day, the Queen called Zhen Huan to the palace to talk.

First, we talked about some insignificant gossip.

Then I brought the topic to what she wanted to talk about.

"Changzai An is pregnant now. I believe that after she gives birth to the child, the emperor will make her a noble lady."

Want to instigate?

Whether in the previous life or this life, the queen's temperament has not changed.

In order to gain the position of queen, she always worked tirelessly to sow discord among others.

Zhen Huan was already accustomed to this!

"If An Changzai gives birth to a child for the emperor in the future, it will be a great achievement. The emperor's promotion is what An Changzai deserves."

The Queen smiled and said:

"Speaking of which, you, Concubine Shen, and Concubine An all entered the palace together."

"If one day, An Changzai is also named a noble lady, then you three sisters will truly be on equal terms!"

No matter what the Queen said, Zhen Huan answered perfectly.

Just then, Huichun walked in holding a cat.

Pine nuts?

In the previous life, the queen used pine nuts to successfully get rid of Noble Lady Fucha's fetus.

Although Zhen Huan is not afraid of cats now, she can't help but feel frightened when she thinks of the scene when Songzi pounced on Noble Lady Fucha and scratched her.

Now that she is pregnant, no matter whether she is afraid or not, she has to be careful.

The Queen naturally knew very well what she was afraid of and what she was not afraid of.

Because before the selection, the emperor ordered people to find out the preferences of all the concubines.

Zhen Huan pretended to be scared and gently pressed her chest with her hands.

The Queen was very satisfied to see Zhen Huan so frightened.

She looked at Zhen Huan tenderly:

"Don't be afraid, it's just a cat."

The contrast between the queen's expression and her heart is so great that it makes people sigh and feel ashamed.
