Legend of Zhen Huan: Zhen Huan is reborn

044 Sigh, Sigh, Mother and Son Are Gone

(Hall of Mental Cultivation)

Zhen Huan visited the Yangxin Palace today to show her respect, but happened to meet Concubine Qi outside the palace with a gloomy look on her face.

Concubine Qi glanced at the gourmet food box held by Liu Zhu behind Zhen Huan, and a hint of inexplicable emotion flashed across her eyes. Then she said in a calm tone: "Reverend Wan is really thoughtful, but from what I have observed, my sister may not have to run around like this. The emperor is busy with government affairs at the moment and has no time to meet with him."

After hearing this, Zhen Huan simply said "Oh" and kept smiling as she said, "Thank you, Sister Qi Fei, for reminding me."

However, her pace did not slow down. Instead, she walked towards the Hall of Mental Cultivation more firmly. The hem of her skirt swayed in the wind, as if telling of her determination.

Concubine Qi looked at Zhen Huan's back as she walked away, feeling a little surprised.

At this time, Su Peisheng stepped forward and bowed respectfully to Zhen Huan: "Lady Wan, the emperor has been waiting in the palace for a long time."

Concubine Qi in the back had a bad look on her face. She probably didn't expect that Zhen Huan would ignore her advice and insist on going to the Yangxin Palace, nor did she expect that she could go in directly.

Seeing this, Liu Zhu couldn't help but chuckle and whispered to Zhen Huan, "My lady, look at Concubine Qi's face. She doesn't seem very happy."

Zhen Huan did not look back at Concubine Qi, but smiled calmly, shook her head gently, and said to Liu Zhu: "How can I take care of everyone in this world? All I can do is take care of myself and not let myself be wronged. As for what others think and how they see it, I really can't take it into account one by one."

There was a hint of helplessness in Zhen Huan's words, but they also revealed her tenacity and wisdom.

She understood that in the harem, everyone had to fight for their own future and interests, and she was no exception.

She is unwilling to sacrifice her own interests for the sake of other people's feelings.

The air in the Hall of Mental Cultivation was filled with incense. The scent of the invigorating aroma was a little strong, causing Zhen Huan to frown slightly. She gently covered her nose to show that she was uncomfortable.

She walked forward a few steps and bowed: "Your Majesty, I greet you. May your Majesty be blessed with good health."

Yinzhen was buried in the memorials. When he heard Zhen Huan's voice, he raised his head, a trace of tenderness flashed in his eyes, and he stretched out his hand and said, "Huan Huan, you are here, come to my side quickly."

Zhen Huan walked up to Yinzhen and noticed that there were many memorials scattered on the table. She knew that Yinzhen had been reviewing them for a long time.

She said softly, "Your Majesty has been reviewing memorials for a long time, so you must be tired. I have asked the kitchen to make some exquisite pastries. Please taste them and take a rest for a while."

Upon hearing this, Yinzhen smiled, put down the pen in his hand, and gently embraced Zhen Huan in his arms.

The two looked at each other for a long time, as if they were the only two people left in the world.

Just then, Su Peisheng walked in hurriedly, breaking the moment of silence.

He bowed his head and reported: "Your Majesty, Concubine Zi in the Tiyuan Hall of the Yanxi Palace is about to give birth."

Upon hearing this, Yinzhen frowned slightly, seeming a little unhappy with this sudden news.

He waved his hand, signaling Su Peisheng to leave, then turned to Zhen Huan and said, "Huan Huan, I'll go take a look first, you wait here for me to come back."

Zhen Huan nodded slightly, a trace of concern flashed in her eyes, and said: "I am willing to go to the Yanxi Palace with the emperor, perhaps I can bring some comfort to Concubine Zi."

Seeing Zhen Huan being so considerate, Yinzhen felt warmed at heart and nodded. Then the two of them stood up together, left the Yangxin Palace and headed for the Yanxi Palace.

(Yanxi Palace)

Outside the Tiyuan Hall of the Yanxi Palace, the two clearly heard faint shouts coming from inside the hall, accompanied by waves of tense atmosphere.

Yinzhen held Zhen Huan's hand tightly, exerting a little force, signaling her not to panic, but a trace of concern flashed in his eyes.

Entering the hall, I saw the imperial doctors and palace maids busy shuttling between the beds, their faces full of concentration and tension.

Xia Dongchun was lying on the bed, her face as pale as paper, her forehead covered with fine beads of sweat. Her hands were tightly grasping the quilt, and her eyes were flashing with obvious panic and anxiety.

Seeing this, Zhen Huan's heart tightened. She quickly walked to the bedside and comforted her softly, "Don't be afraid, Princess Zi, the imperial physician and the palace maids are all here, they will do their best to help you."

When Xia Dongchun heard Zhen Huan's voice, she turned her head slightly, and a hint of gratitude flashed in her eyes.

Xia Dongchun tried hard to force a smile and nodded at Zhen Huan. Although her face was pale, there was a firm light in her eyes.

Queen Yixiu was also there. She looked solemn and was obviously very worried about Xia Dongchun's condition.

Seeing this, Zhen Huan stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Your Highness, I greet you."

Queen Yixiu waved her hand gently, indicating that Zhen Huan didn't need to be polite. Her mind was completely on Xia Dongchun at the moment.

At this time, Doctor Xu stepped forward and reported to the Queen: "Your Majesty, Concubine Zi's current condition is not very optimistic. She may encounter some difficulties during childbirth. I hope Your Majesty can make preparations early."

When Yixiu heard this, a hint of darkness flashed in her eyes. She frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "I hope that Concubine Zi and her daughter can be safe. Doctor Xu, you must do your best."

Zhen Huan quietly observed Yi Xiu's expression from the side. She noticed that although Yi Xiu seemed calm on the surface, there was a hint of subtle nervousness in her eyes.

She didn't say much, but bowed silently and then left the Body Yuan Hall.

"Hanhuan, what's the situation with Concubine Zi?" When Yinzhen saw Zhen Huan coming out of the palace, he immediately stepped forward to ask.

Although his voice was calm, his eyes showed deep concern.

Zhen Huan nodded slightly and replied softly, "Silang, Imperial Physician Xu said that Concubine Zi's condition may not be optimistic, but please rest assured, the imperial physicians are doing their best to treat her."

After hearing this, Yinzhen's face did not show much expression. He instructed calmly, "Su Peisheng, go tell Xu Zongsheng to make sure that Zichang and her child are safe. No matter what herbs or manpower are needed, don't be stingy."

"Yes!" Su Peisheng responded and immediately turned and entered the hall to convey Yinzhen's order.

Zhen Huan looked at Su Peisheng's back and prayed silently in her heart, hoping that Zi Changzai could get through this difficult time safely. After all, children are innocent.

-

Xia Dongchun had persisted for a long time, but fate was still cruel. Although Doctor Xu Zongsheng used all his medical skills and energy, he was still unable to save the lives of Xia Dongchun and her unborn child.

"Young Master!" Baoque's anxious and grief-stricken cry suddenly came from the hall. The voice pierced into the hearts of everyone present like a sharp knife.

Zhen Huan and Yinzhen naturally also heard this heart-wrenching call, and endless grief and helplessness suddenly surged in their hearts.

Afterwards, Baojuan walked out of the hall with a sad face. Her eyes were red and swollen, obviously she had been crying.

She knelt before Yinzhen and said in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, Zi Changzai and the fetus in her belly have both...died."

This news came like a bolt from the blue, plunging everyone present into deep grief.

Zhen Huan clenched her hands tightly, her heart filled with regret and grief for Xia Dongchun.

Yinzhen frowned, his eyes showing endless sadness...
