After Huanbi was reborn, she became the prince's favorite

"My Huanhuan is indeed my eloquent lady! She is very good at analyzing things in detail, much better than those ministers!"

The emperor praised her with his mouth, but his expression was so deep that it was frightening.

Zhen Huan quickly leaned forward and replied, "I am just a little girl, comparing myself to other women in terms of how they get along with each other. The court officials are busy with various affairs every day, and they are busy with important matters. Naturally, they are more cautious than Huan Huan when they speak. Your Majesty is so flattering, Huan Huan is ashamed to accept it."

The emperor's expression gradually softened when he heard this, and he rubbed the jade beads in his hand, "Hahaha, you are so modest!"

Zhen Huan stood up and sat opposite her, waving to Jin Xi, "Go and bring the princess here. The Emperor hasn't seen her for some time."

Soon the princess came. In the huge cradle, the little girl looked so tiny and particularly pitiful.

The emperor picked up the tassels under the pearl necklace to tease the princess, and little Luoyao laughed at him.

Jin Xi was also infected by the laughter, and couldn't help but curl her lips and joke, "The princess is usually calm and composed, and she is especially happy when the emperor comes! It really is a deep love between father and daughter!"

Zhen Huan glanced at her and continued with a smile, "Isn't it? A few days ago, the Queen Mother said she wanted to meet Luo Yao, so I carried the princess over. I was worried that she would be unfamiliar with the palace, but as soon as she entered, she giggled and made the Queen Mother laugh for a long time."

The emperor raised his eyes, but his lips drooped slightly. "Luo Yao knows who loves her at such a young age. She is really my good daughter! But what about you, Wanpin?"

Zhen Huan's smile froze on her face immediately. She was stunned and knelt down in front of the emperor. "Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I made a mistake. I hope Your Majesty can tell me clearly so that I can correct it in time."

All the servants in the room were so scared that they knelt on the ground. The emperor glanced at Jinxi and waved at her. Jinxi hurriedly carried the princess downstairs.

"Don't you know? Wanpin, I have always believed that you are the most objective and fair. I didn't expect that in order to protect your father, you would go around in circles and ask me to let those disobedient people off lightly. You are really selfish!"

Zhen Huan lowered her head and glanced at Huanbi quickly, and Huanbi frowned slightly.

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I may not have done something appropriate, but I cannot bear the charge of abusing my power for personal gain. I don't know what my father did to anger Your Majesty. If there is anything wrong, I believe Your Majesty will not be unfair."

The emperor looked at her in confusion, "You don't know?"

Zhen Huan hesitated for a moment, "I don't know what the emperor is talking about, and I can't confirm whether I know it."

"Someone told me that your father secretly kept Qian Mingshi's poems, which were poems praising Nian Gengyao and vindicating his reputation."

Zhen Huan was extremely scared. She didn't know whether her father had received the letter she wrote and whether he had done what she had said.

But at this moment she had to remain calm. Even if the emperor really had some evidence, she could not put herself in a disadvantageous position.

"I have lived in the palace for a long time. Apart from writing to my parents once a month as per custom, I rarely hear news about my parents and sisters. I was not aware that my father had secretly kept poems and essays that went against the will of the emperor."

The emperor tapped the table lightly and asked her with a thoughtful look, "So what do you think we should do now?"

Zhen Huan was very flustered, but she tried her best to suppress it.

"I...what I just said is from my heart. I believe that Your Majesty is a wise and intelligent king, and he will definitely be able to distinguish between loyalty and treachery. As for my father...if my father really did something against Your Majesty's will, I believe that Your Majesty will make his own decision and will not interfere in the slightest."

Zhen Huan lowered her head to speak, and the emperor couldn't see the expression on her face at all, so he said, "Raise your head and look at my face when you speak."

Zhen Huan slowly raised her head, choked up and said:

"I should not have participated in the affairs of the previous dynasty. I have no right to ask how the emperor will deal with me. No matter what, I believe in the emperor's decision. In addition to the fact that the emperor is the king, he is also my husband. As a wife, I should trust my husband."

As soon as these words were spoken, the emperor felt as if something was pulled in his heart. He remembered that many years ago, Empress Chunyuan punished the concubine by making her kneel down, causing her to have a miscarriage.

That time, Chun Yuan said the same words. He was still a prince at that time, and he chose to believe his concubine's words because his concubine had lost her child. Since then, Chun Yuan felt guilty. Until his death, he was still upset about this matter. This matter has always been a thorn in Chun Yuan's heart.

Recently, Zhen Huan said this again. Many years ago, he failed to protect Chun Yuan well. After so many years, is the same thing going to happen again?

The emperor looked somewhat melancholy, and fell into deep thought.

But E Min's words lingered in his ears. If Zhen Yuandao really kept Qian Mingshi's poems and books privately, wouldn't that be a great disrespect to himself?

The person in front of him is Zhen Huan, not Chun Yuan, and he is not only Zhen Huan's husband, but also the emperor of the Qing Dynasty!

Thinking of this, the emperor became more determined.

"Get up now. Since you don't know about this matter, I won't implicate you. But I have already sent people to the Zhen Mansion to investigate. If the matter is true, I will not abuse my power for personal gain because of you. If the result is just a rumor, I will not do anything to Zhen Yuandao because of this matter."

Zhen Huan felt a chill on her back, and felt that the emperor was deeply thoughtful.

The emperor's words sound nice. If my father really did something wrong, how could the emperor treat me the same? If I told this to the former Concubine Hua, she might believe it, but I would not believe it!

She slowly stood up, an unnatural smile on her lips, "Your Majesty is wise, I will trust your decision."

After the emperor left, Zhen Huan slumped in the chair. She held Huanbi's hand tightly and asked, "Have you delivered the letter I asked you to deliver?"

Huanbi held her hand and nodded, saying, "It has been delivered. The messenger sent a message saying that the letter was delivered to Master Zhen personally."

Zhen Huan also nodded vigorously, saying repeatedly: "That's good, that's good."

The letter was delivered a few days ago. I believe that my father is aware of the seriousness of the matter and must have done what I said.

Early the next morning, in the Yangxin Palace, the ministers were standing in the hall, all feeling uneasy.

"I heard that Lord Emin has been conducting searches of the homes of officials in the court these days."

"Yes, yes! Three days ago he was a fifth-rank official, two days ago he was a fourth-rank official, and yesterday he was an official of the third rank or above. When he came to my house, he was very aggressive. His posture was really..." said a minister and waved his hand.

Lord Wu stepped forward and asked, "I heard that you went to Lord Zhen's house yesterday. Lord Emin and Lord Zhen have always been on good terms, so I guess you didn't make it difficult for them, right?"

Lord Wu's eyes revealed a scrutiny.

Zhen Yuandao shook his head and replied, "Lord Emin is doing things impartially for the sake of the court, and has nothing to do with personal relationships."

Lord Wu didn't find out anything, so he shook his head and went to talk to other people.

Zhen Yuandao looked at his back and recalled what happened the day before...
