Legend of Zhen Huan: Zhen Huan is reborn

136 Stealing a Chicken but Losing the Rice

Inside the palace, the birth of children was like the continuous drizzle in spring, silent but frequent. These scenes made it difficult for Yixiu to remain calm.

At this moment, even Shen Meizhuang, who usually does not compete for favor, is about to give birth to a new life. This news undoubtedly cast a heavier shadow in her heart.

The Queen Mother's favor for Shen Meizhuang only grew, and her favor was like the warm spring sun, warm and lasting.

What's more, Shen Meizhuang came from a famous family with a distinguished family background, which gave her some bargaining chips that could not be underestimated in this deep palace.

Faced with this situation, Yixiu could no longer sit still, and the turmoil in her heart could no longer be suppressed.

And Concubine Yu Wenyuan of the Guarjia clan, after a long wait after the Mid-Autumn Festival, was finally freed and regained her freedom.

Because of the incident with the coarse seed and barley soup in the past, Yinzhen had developed resentment and displeasure towards her. This change in his feelings undoubtedly cast a shadow over her life in the palace.

Now, once Wen Yuan regained her sight, she could not wait to step into the threshold of Jingren Palace, and greeted Yixiu with trepidation but sincerity, trying to get Yixiu to repair the delicate relationship between her and Yinzhen.

Today, Yixiu is wearing a luxurious royal blue Manchu dress, and the oriental pearls inlaid on her ears are dazzling and sparkling with bright yellow light.

She sat leisurely on the brocade couch, savoring the freshly peeled sweet pomelo that Huichun had carefully presented to her.

"Your concubine and your maid Jingtai come to greet the Empress Dowager." After saying this, Wen Yuan walked into the hall and completed the ceremony.

"No need to be so polite. Just stand up." Empress Yixiu said calmly, but her tone was still dignified.

"Thank you, Her Majesty, for your grace." Wen Yuan stood up and then slowly sat down on a chair at the side.

"What brings you here?" Yixiu asked casually, but his eyes revealed some insight.

"Empress, I am deeply depressed and have no other choice but to turn to you for help. I hope you can lend a helping hand." Wen Yuan said with a sad look on her face.

"I know a little about your suffering, but the imperial decree was issued by the emperor, so I can't help you." Yixiu frowned slightly, looking quite helpless. "However, fortunately, I have made some efforts and finally got the emperor's permission to let you regain your freedom. So, how will you repay this friendship of mine?"

"I know clearly that this predicament is caused by that bitch Zhen Huan. I will not let this matter end easily and will find an opportunity to seek justice from her." Wen Yuan gritted her teeth, with a fierce look in her eyes.

Afterwards, the two of them talked in low voices for a while, until Wen Yuan stepped out of the threshold of Jingren Palace. Her expression was very different, and her steps revealed some of her former unruly nature, as if the charm of Shi Lan in the past had reappeared, which made people look sideways.

The due date of Concubine Shu Mu Wanrou is approaching, and she will give birth within a few days.

In the end, Yinzhen couldn't harden his heart, so he allowed her to go out and relax her body and mind.

Unexpectedly, it was this short stroll that accidentally triggered her premature birth, and during this time, she even tried to frame Zhen Huan and put the blame on others.

However, fate has its consequences. Not only did her conspiracy fail, but she also reaped the consequences. In the end, mother and daughter were separated and she was banished to a lonely cold palace, where she lived in desolation all day long.

Le Dao Tang.

Mu Wanrou's face was covered with fine beads of sweat, her complexion was as pale as paper, and she looked extremely haggard.

Zhen Huan walked into the room and saw this scene. She couldn't help but feel a little pity in her heart, thinking: "She is really beautiful. Even if I am a bystander, I can't help but feel sympathy when I see this situation."

"Where is the emperor? I want to see the emperor." Mu Wanrou's voice was weak and intermittent, revealing her inner anxiety and helplessness.

Zhen Huan shook her head gently, her tone calm but with unquestionable firmness: "The emperor is busy with state affairs at the moment and has no time to take care of you. You should first focus on dealing with the birth."

However, Mu Wanrou seemed to have lost her mind. She suddenly looked up, her eyes full of resentment and accusations: "It's you! It's you who caused me to have an innocent miscarriage. It's all because of you!" Her voice was weak, but full of anger and unwillingness.

"What you said is wrong, Lady Shu. I remember it clearly. Lady Xi was very far away from you just now, only several feet away. How could she harm you?" Lady Jing Feng Ruozhao said in a reproachful and sharp tone.

"That's right. How can you ignore us who are present here? You are pregnant and yet you still want to do such a shameless thing." Concubine Xin, Lu Yingfeng, was also indignant and echoed Concubine Jing's words.

"You...you..." Mu Wanrou was so angry that her whole body was shaking. She was so angry that she fainted.

Seeing this, Zhen Huan's face darkened and she ordered coldly: "Doctor Wen, I hope you can do your best to save Concubine Shu and her unborn child."

Upon hearing this, Wen Shichu quickly responded, "I will obey your order and do my best. Please move away for now, ladies and gentlemen. The delivery room is not convenient and I am afraid that it will pollute the holy bodies of the ladies and gentlemen."

Zhen Huan nodded slightly and signaled to Wen Shichu with her eyes. The latter understood and nodded.

Afterwards, several people left Ledao Hall under the guidance of the young eunuch.

Yixingxuan.

At this moment, everyone was sitting around in Concubine Chun's Chunyi's Yixingxuan, and the room was filled with warmth and joy.

Since giving birth to her daughter, Chunyi has become more gentle and mature, as if time has gently left traces of her growth.

"Chun'er, is our little Yilan well behaved? Has she caused you any trouble?" Zhen Huan smiled like a flower, her eyes full of concern.

Chunyi's face lit up with maternal radiance when she heard this, and she smiled, "Lan'er is really a little angel. She has a wet nurse who takes good care of her. I can hardly help her, and I feel empty inside, lacking the fulfillment of being busy."

Zhen Huan patted Chun Yi's hand and said gently, "If you feel uncomfortable or upset, don't keep it in your heart. Remember, you still have me and the sisters by your side. We are your most solid support."

Chunyi nodded gratefully. Just as she was about to speak, she heard Yinzhen's hearty laughter from outside the door: "It seems that I came at the wrong time and disturbed your elegance."

Upon hearing the voice, everyone stood up and saluted, saying in unison: "Your Highness, may your Highness be blessed with good health."

"Everyone, get up. How is Concubine Shu doing now?" Yinzhen asked with concern, a hint of worry in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, I have just asked Imperial Physician Wen, and he told me that Concubine Shu is in a stable condition and Your Majesty does not need to worry too much." Zhen Huan answered gently, her tone revealing her consideration for Yinzhen.

Yinzhen nodded slightly and continued, "On the way here, I heard some rumors that Concubine Shu was trying to frame you."

Zhen Huan's face changed slightly when she heard this, but she regained her composure and said in a serious tone, "I have behaved uprightly and have never done anything inappropriate. I beg Your Majesty to look into my details and clear my name."

Yinzhen stared at Zhen Huan, a glimmer of trust flashed in his eyes, and he said slowly: "Of course I believe you, but Shu Guiren's behavior is unforgivable. If she continues to stay in the palace, I am afraid that there will be more trouble."

Zhen Huan agreed with what he said, but she also knew that Mu Wanrou would not live long, so she gently advised: "Your Majesty is right, but I dare to ask that you forgive her this time for giving birth to your child. According to the previous decision, banishing her to the cold palace may be the greatest punishment for her."

"What Noble Concubine Xi said makes sense. The pain of separation from one's own flesh and blood is not something that anyone can easily bear. I believe that after experiencing this lesson, she will learn from it and will not dare to make the same mistake again." Noble Concubine Xin Lu Yingfeng's words revealed her expectations and warnings for Mu Wanrou's future.

Yinzhen thought for a moment and then nodded in agreement: "In that case, I will do as you say. I hope she can sincerely repent and stop causing trouble."

As they were talking, there was a sound of light footsteps outside the door, followed by Yunyi's gentle voice: "Your Majesty, my young lady has successfully given birth to a princess, and both mother and daughter are safe."

Upon hearing this, Yinzhen smiled with satisfaction and said, "I have heard about it. I will go to visit him in person later."

"Yes, I will obey your command." Yunyi responded and retreated.
