After Prince Guo was reborn, Zhen Huan became invincible

Zhen Huan also heard the subtlety of this: "I only hope that in the future, everyone in the harem can understand each other and bear fewer grudges, so that the emperor can concentrate on government affairs without any worries."

The Emperor looked at Zhen Huan sharply, hoping that it would really be as she said.

At this time, Huanbi came forward and said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, your tea is cold. I have made you a new pot."

The emperor took the tea, took a sip, savored it carefully, and praised: "Well, this tea tastes good."

Zhen Huan smiled and said, "This is what I asked Huanbi to prepare specially. I hope Your Majesty likes it."

Then the emperor changed his expression again and said to Zhen Huan with a smile:

"I really can't bear to part with you, but I have to do this. Tomorrow, the monks at the Po Lin Monastery will finish their rituals. After tomorrow, I plan to order you to go to the Po Lin Monastery to chant sutras and pray for me."

"My palace has been haunted by ghosts recently, and my health has not fully recovered. The official historian of the Imperial Astronomical Observatory observed the celestial phenomena at night and pointed out that one of my concubines who is pregnant with the heir should go to the Baolian Temple to chant sutras and pray for me, so that my illness can be completely cured."

The emperor then held Zhen Huan's hands again, kneaded them and said, "Huan Huan, I hope you can agree to me, okay?"

Zhen Huan immediately stood up and saluted the emperor, saying: "Your Majesty, as long as it is something you want to do, I am willing to die for you. I am your woman, so naturally everything will be based on Your Majesty. It will be my honor to recite scriptures and pray for Your Majesty." Zhen Huan said to the emperor sincerely.

But she was extremely happy in her heart because she could finally leave the palace.

The emperor was very pleased to see Zhen Huan was so sensible, and said to her with a little guilt: "I have another unreasonable request."

Zhen Huan looked at the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, just give me your orders. I am willing to do anything for you. This is what I should do."

"Hanhuan, you are truly my confidant and beloved. I hope that when you go to the Baolian Monastery, you can pray for me and also recite sutras for my late Queen Chunyuan." The emperor said this and called out to Su Peisheng who was waiting on the side, "Su Peisheng, bring it here."

"Your Majesty, please." Su Peisheng respectfully put a book on the ground.

The emperor handed it to Zhen Huan and said, "This book contains some scriptures written by eminent monks. There is also a note with Chun Yuan's birth date. When you arrive at Baolian Temple, you can ask the abbot Jingyuan of Baolian Temple to arrange for you to recite scriptures. When the time comes, you can refer to this book to recite scriptures and pray for blessings."

Zhen Huan carefully took the book handed over by the emperor and said, "I understand. Your Majesty, don't worry. I will follow your orders."

"That's great." At this moment, the emperor stretched out his arms and said to Zhen Huan, "Huan Huan, come here, let me hug you."

Zhen Huan cursed in her heart, "Your Majesty, please let me go. I really don't want to be hugged by an old man like you."

But she was just thinking about it in her mind. She wanted to say no, but her body was honest and she had to succumb to the emperor's majesty.

So Zhen Huan slowly walked to the emperor, and the emperor pulled her into his arms and let her sit on his lap.

The Emperor stroked Zhen Huan's belly and said, "Thank you for your hard work, my Huan Huan and the baby in your belly. You only need to be gone for half a year. You will be able to come back after half a year. When you come back, my baby should be born soon. I will wait for you to come back and will definitely reward you handsomely."

Zhen Huan looked at the emperor with false emotion and said, "Your Majesty, rest assured. I will take good care of myself and the children, and I will also recite scriptures and pray for you and Queen Chunyuan."

Night in Yanxi Palace

Since she woke up, Noble Lady Fucha has been muttering to herself: "Don't come to me... Don't come to me..."

It was late at night, and the lights in the Yanxi Palace were sparse, with only a few dim palace lanterns swaying slightly. Noble Lady Fucha woke up from her coma, looking a little dazed, and muttered to herself:

"Don't come to me... Don't come to me..." Her voice was low and trembling, as if she was resisting some horrible illusion.

Suddenly, a cold wind blew by, the shadows outside the palace gate swayed in the moonlight, and a black shadow sneaked into the Yanx Palace silently.

The man in black was agile and avoided all patrolling guards, moving through the shadows of the palace like a ghost.

The man in black had a clear goal and went straight to Noble Lady Fucha's bedroom.

Inside the bedroom, Noble Lady Fucha was still mumbling with a blank look in her eyes, seemingly unaware of the approaching crisis.

The man in black approached quietly, with a flash of cold light in his hand, and the dagger pointed directly at Fu Cha Guiren's heart. At this moment, Fu Cha Guiren seemed to sense something and suddenly opened her eyes wide, but it was too late, the dagger had already pierced deeply into her chest.

Noble Lady Fucha opened her eyes wide and moved her lips slightly, as if she wanted to shout, but the man in black immediately covered Noble Lady Fucha's mouth to prevent her from screaming out in fear and pain. At this moment, Noble Lady Fucha's vitality was rapidly draining from her body.

The man in black pulled out the dagger expressionlessly, and blood gushed out, splashing onto the bed and staining the sheets red.

Noblewoman Fucha's breathing gradually became weaker, and the light in her eyes gradually dimmed.

After completing the task, the man in black looked at Noble Lady Fucha coldly, then took out a jade hairpin from his arms and gently placed it on Noble Lady Fucha's pillow.

The jade hairpin was crystal clear, and it shone with a cold light under the moonlight, as if it contained some deep meaning. The man in black did not stay any longer, and quickly left the palace and disappeared into the night.

The next morning, the maids in the Yanxi Palace discovered the body of Noble Lady Fucha, and the bedroom was immediately thrown into chaos.

The maids screamed and ran around to tell others, and soon the entire court was shocked by this sudden tragedy.

The emperor came in person to check it out, his brows furrowed and his face gloomy.

When Noble Lady Fucha's personal maid Sang'er saw the emperor coming, she knelt before him with tears in her eyes and said:

"Your Majesty, please punish me. I didn't know that Noble Lady Fucha would be assassinated, but I accidentally found this hairpin next to my young master's pillow this morning. Your Majesty, please take a look and find out the truth for my young master."

As he said this, Sang'er handed the crystal clear hairpin to the emperor.

The emperor looked up at the jade hairpin in Sang'er's hand. He took it in his hand and looked at it carefully, with a complicated look in his eyes.

The jade hairpin was crystal clear, exuding a warm luster, and the intricately carved patterns on it looked even more delicate and exquisite.

The emperor stared at the jade hairpin. He was very familiar with it. It was the precious gift he gave to Shen Meizhuang when he bestowed the title "Hui".

Because of the extraordinary origin of this hairpin, it was carefully crafted from rare jade specially supplied from the Western Regions. Its unique style is one-of-a-kind in the entire palace.

The emperor frowned tightly, and his originally calm expression gradually became solemn.

He wondered inwardly, why did this jade hairpin appear beside Noble Lady Fucha's pillow? What kind of conspiracy was hidden in it?

Thinking of this, the emperor couldn't help but feel a nameless fire welling up in his heart, and his anger was beyond words.

He gritted his teeth and roared in a low but majestic voice: "Bastard! This harem is becoming more and more chaotic and chaotic..." For a moment, the atmosphere in the Yanx Palace became extremely tense and depressing. Everyone was silent and dared not make a sound.

Immediately afterwards, the emperor made a prompt decision and issued an order, requiring Noble Lady Fucha not to attend the funeral and to bury her properly in private.

Because the murder among concubines in the harem could not be made public, as it would damage the reputation of the royal family.

At the same time, it was announced to the public that Noble Lady Fucha was frightened by a ghost, causing her to become mentally ill and talking nonsense. She was banished to the cold palace and was not allowed to take a step out of the palace for the rest of her life. No one was allowed to visit her, either.

The emperor felt that the matter of Noble Lady Fucha should be dealt with strictly, so he sent all the palace maids and eunuchs around Noble Lady Fucha to the Ministry of Punishment for immediate execution.

The Yanxi Palace seemed to become much quieter all of a sudden.

An Lingrong, who was also in the Yanxi Palace, was so frightened that she fainted on the ground after being frightened by a ghost in Noble Lady Fucha's house the day before.

Now she was extremely weak and could only rest in bed. Her maids were also very sensible and stayed in the house, taking good care of their master, not daring to leave for fear of any accidents.

In this way, An Lingrong and her maids were lucky enough to escape this sudden disaster.

Although the emperor expressly forbade anyone to talk about Noble Lady Fucha's death, and even threatened that anyone who dared to let the cat out of the bag or gossip about her would be immediately executed.

However, this incident was so bizarre and terrifying that the people in other palaces were all shrouded in a deep shadow of fear, as if the mysterious man in black might show up again at any time, bringing more blood and disaster.

Although everyone kept their lips tightly shut and refused to mention the matter, everyone knew what happened to Noble Lady Fucha. However, under the pressure of the imperial order, no one dared to say even a word, for fear of bringing disaster upon themselves.

The entire palace was filled with a tense and depressing atmosphere that made people feel suffocated.

The emperor was in a hurry because Noble Lady Fucha was suddenly assassinated and the evidence pointed directly to Shen Meizhuang. He had always admired Shen Meizhuang's character and personality, as she was gentle, intelligent, virtuous and kind.

He really couldn't believe that Shen Meizhuang would order someone to assassinate Noble Lady Fucha out of jealousy or hatred. He decided to personally investigate the matter and get justice for Noble Lady Fucha.

However, the struggle in the palace was far more complicated than he had imagined. Behind every conspiracy, there was a deeper trap. The emperor knew that in order to completely resolve this turmoil, he had to start with Shen Meizhuang.

Yangxindian

The young eunuch beside the emperor was ordered to go to Xianfu Palace where Shen Meizhuang lived to convey the oral order, asking Shen Meizhuang to come to the Yangxin Palace to meet the emperor as soon as possible.

At this moment, Shen Meizhuang was preparing to go out to find Zhen Huan to discuss what was going on with the matter concerning Noble Lady Fucha.

However, just as she stepped out of the palace, she met the eunuch who came to convey the emperor's order.

Shen Meizhuang's expression suddenly became a little confused. With her extraordinary wisdom and insight, she immediately realized that the emperor's eagerness to summon her must be related to the matter of Noble Lady Fucha.

But she really couldn't understand how the death of Noble Lady Fucha was related to her?

Full of doubts, Shen Meizhuang set out on the journey to the Yangxin Palace, pondering the true intention behind the emperor's actions.

The moment she stepped into the Yangxin Palace, she could not help but feel a little scared. From a distance, she saw that the emperor had a heavy face, with the word "unhappy" clearly written on his face.

Shen Meizhuang took a deep breath, calmed herself, walked carefully into the hall, and bowed to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. May your Majesty be blessed with good health and good health!"

The emperor said coldly: "Kneel down!"
