After Prince Guo was reborn, Zhen Huan became invincible

Seeing this, Prince Guo did not dare to delay at all. He quickly took off his slightly heavy coat and jumped into the lake in one leap.

He quickly picked up the emperor and swam to the shore.

After finally dragging the emperor to the shore with great effort, Prince Guo hurriedly put the coat he had just taken off on the emperor.

Prince Guo is preparing to go back to rescue Su Peisheng.

At this time, the palace guards had arrived. Seeing Su Peisheng still struggling in the water, Xiao Xia Zi immediately jumped into the lake and pulled Su Peisheng out.

The emperor and Su Peisheng were both shivering, their bodies were stiff from being frozen in the water.

The guards and eunuchs knelt down one after another and said, "Your Majesty, I am late in coming to your rescue. Please punish me."

"The death penalty can be avoided, but the living punishment cannot be escaped. Each of you will be given 60 strokes of the cane and one year's salary will be deducted. Fortunately, I am not dead, otherwise you will all be buried with me."

"Seventeenth brother, carry me back to the Yangxin Palace." The emperor's voice was cold and majestic, revealing an unquestionable momentum.

Prince Guo was secretly delighted in his heart, he knew that the emperor's illness this time would probably last for a long time.

This was undoubtedly a great opportunity for him. He could use this opportunity to further consolidate his position in the court and even replace the emperor.

On the surface, Prince Guo behaved very respectfully and submissively.

He hurried forward, carefully picked up the emperor, and said to Xiao Xia Zi, "Hurry up and summon the imperial physician to the Yangxin Palace." Then, he walked towards the Yangxin Palace with steady steps.

Along the way, the emperor couldn't stop shivering in Prince Guo's arms, while Prince Guo was thinking about the next plan in his mind.

After entering the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Prince Guo gently placed the emperor on the dragon bed, then quietly stepped aside, waiting for the arrival of the imperial physician.

The emperor closed his eyes slightly, his face was as pale as paper, and he looked very weak.

After a while, the emperor slowly opened his eyes, looked at Prince Guo and said, "Seventeenth brother, I'm sorry that you were worried about me falling into the water this time. Thanks to you for saving me in time. I really raised a bunch of useless people who were useless at the critical moment."

Prince Guo immediately knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "Your Majesty, you are too kind. This is my responsibility. Your Majesty, please take care of yourself and get well soon. This is the most important thing."

The emperor nodded and said, "Well, you are thoughtful. However, I may not be able to attend court for the next few days."

Prince Guo quickly comforted him, "Don't worry, my brother. You are blessed by heaven and will recover soon. I will always be by your side and help you solve your problems."

The emperor sighed and said, "I hope so... By the way, you should stay in the palace for the next few days and help me deal with some government affairs. You are the only one I have."

At this time, Doctor Chen also arrived. He took the emperor's pulse, wrote out a prescription, and ordered people to get and boil the medicine immediately.

When everyone heard that the emperor fell into the lake, they rushed over worriedly, especially the Queen and Concubine Hua, who were the first to arrive.

The next day, all the concubines came to Jingren Palace in the morning to pay their respects to the Queen as usual.

Everyone arrived early.

Only Concubine Hua was late.

The Queen was somewhat accustomed to Concubine Hua being late, so she deliberately let out a soft sigh.

When Noble Lady Fucha saw the Queen sighing, she said, "Madam Hua Fei really doesn't know the rules. She hasn't come yet at this hour. She really doesn't take our Queen seriously."

No one else dared to say anything bad about Concubine Hua at this moment, for fear that if Concubine Hua just walked in and heard it, it would be all over.

As luck would have it, Concubine Hua walked in just as Noble Lady Fucha had finished speaking.

Noble Lady Fucha's face turned pale instantly. After all, Concubine Hua was of higher status than her, and she also had the support of General Nian from the previous dynasty. She didn't dare to contradict Concubine Hua openly. It was too late to regret now. She could only pray that Concubine Hua didn't hear what she had just said.

As soon as Concubine Hua entered the room, she looked graceful and elegant and glanced at Noble Lady Fucha with contempt.

Then she saluted the queen perfunctorily: "Greetings to Her Majesty the Queen. I got up late because I was serving the Emperor. Please forgive me, Her Majesty the Queen."

"Since Concubine Hua has been serving the Emperor wholeheartedly, her crime will be pardoned. Please sit down." The Queen was angry in her heart, but she appeared magnanimous and calm on the surface.

The Queen had been dissatisfied with Concubine Hua for many years and had humiliated her every time, but she had to endure it because her brother Nian Gengyao was still useful to the Qing Dynasty and could not be touched for the time being.

Then let the new concubines compete with Concubine Hua first. The Queen felt proud in her heart.

"Lady Wan, you told me before that you were still sick and had not recovered yet. The Emperor has summoned you to sleep with him. Are you feeling unwell?" The Queen asked with a concerned look.

"Thank you for your concern, Queen. I am much better now. I stayed in Suiyuxuan all day to study, but forgot to inform you. Please forgive me, Queen."

Zhen Huan knew that she could not tell the Emperor that she was ill and slept with him, otherwise it would be considered a bad omen and she would infect the Emperor with the disease.

Concubine Qi looked down on Zhen Huan and said, "Lady Wan is really good at tricks. The emperor was so bewitched by you that he even caught a cold."

Concubine Hua looked at Zhen Huan with a sharp look, as if Zhen Huan owed her five hundred taels of silver, and slowly said:

"The noble lady Wan was so favored by the emperor that she was promoted from a maid to a noble lady overnight. I would like to ask how the noble lady Wan won the emperor's favor."

When Concubine Hua said this, it was obvious that she wanted to embarrass Concubine Wan and make her the target of public criticism.

Everyone knows that the most favored concubine in the harem is Concubine Hua, who is constantly favored. Her arrogant and domineering personality has never angered the emperor, who instead tends to indulge her.

At this time, Concubine Cao said, "Sister Wan has a stunning appearance, and is very similar to Queen Chunyuan. It would be hard for the emperor not to be attracted to her."

This sentence made Concubine Hua glare at Concubine Cao, but Concubine Cao's purpose was to draw hatred from Zhen Huan, and she knew that her goal had been achieved. (Concubine Cao had already found out privately that Zhen Huan looked very similar to Empress Chun Yuan, and that was why she was chosen by the Emperor during the selection and given the title "Wan")

At this moment, through Concubine Cao's speech, Concubine Hua also got a piece of information, that is, Concubine Wan and the Queen Chunyuan, whom the emperor has been thinking about, look very similar, which makes her feel like she is facing a formidable enemy.

Shen Meizhuang couldn't bear it anymore. Zhen Huan had just been favored for one night, and now she was being envied by others. She felt very distressed.

"Sister Wan has been ill since she entered the palace. The emperor was interested in her because he was concerned that she had never slept with him in such a long time since she entered the palace. You sisters have served the emperor for many years and you must know that the emperor is not a man who is greedy for beauty." Shen Meizhuang said slowly.

An Lingrong didn't dare to speak in front of everyone. After all, her status and position were not as high as those of other concubines, and talking too much would only make mistakes.

But she entered the palace together with Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang, and they were like sisters. Shen Meizhuang even spoke for Zhen Huan, and if she didn't say something it would definitely affect the relationship between the three of them.

"My dear sisters, Sister Wan herself didn't know that the Emperor would suddenly summon her to sleep with him. In the harem, the Emperor has the final say on who he wants to choose."

"An Da Ying, you have been summoned by the emperor but were turned back. Now that your good sister, Noble Lady Wan, has been favored, you have to work harder." Noble Lady Fucha said to An Lingrong with a look of disgust on her face.

Noble Lady Fucha is unruly and willful. Relying on her good family background and the fact that she is the Palace Master of Yanx Palace, she often bullies An Lingrong and is used to it.
