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

The queen immediately noticed the emperor coming in. She turned her head slightly to look inside, pretending not to know, and kept shouting, "My head hurts! Jianqiu, bring me some hot water!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the emperor stood beside the bed and said, "Why do you suddenly have a headache? You were fine last night!" The emperor threw the beads into his other hand and sat on the chair next to him.

The queen turned around upon hearing the voice and tried to get up, but was held down by the emperor. She frowned and looked extremely distressed. "Your Majesty is here. I really have a headache and cannot get out of bed to pay my respects. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

"What did the imperial doctor say?"

Jianqiu came in with hot water, put a steaming towel on the empress's forehead, knelt on the ground and replied: "Your Majesty, please quickly persuade the empress. She accidentally sprained her ankle when she got up and got out of bed early. I just helped her to bed, and she suddenly had a splitting headache.

The imperial physician came to see her and took her pulse for a long time. He said it was the same headache as usual, but I found it strange because the Majesty had never felt this bad before."

The emperor nodded and said, "It is a little strange. Su Peisheng, please ask Doctor Wen to come and take a look."

The Queen took advantage of the situation and grabbed the Emperor's clothes, shaking her head and admonishing him:

"Your Majesty, I am not in the way. Inviting two imperial doctors to come one after another may arouse suspicion among the palace. I do not want to affect Your Majesty's affairs because of my own selfishness. Please do not waste your time here. There are still many arrangements to be made to bring Concubine Xi back to the palace. Your Majesty should be busy giving instructions on those matters."

Huichun came in with a bowl of medicine and handed it to Jianqiu. Jianqiu fed the queen the medicine and ordered, "Go and boil some medicine to cure your ankle! The imperial physician has told you to take another dose right after finishing this one."

Seeing the queen suddenly become haggard, the emperor felt a little bit sorry in his heart, "The queen is really virtuous. She is not feeling well, but she is still thinking about Concubine Xi returning to the palace. Jianqiu, you must take good care of the queen and try your best to make her get better soon and suffer less."

After eating a few bites of breakfast, the emperor came to the Yangxin Palace and began to review memorials. At this time, the envoy of the Imperial Observatory came over and said that he had important matters to report to the emperor.

The emperor felt a little uneasy and asked, "What's the matter?"

The envoy said, "I observed the sky a few nights ago and learned that the star Wei Yue Yan in the northwest suddenly shone with extraordinary brilliance, with the potential to collide with the moon."

"Don't be so pedantic. Just tell me, is this star abnormality a good omen or a bad omen?"

The emissary looked at the emperor timidly and replied, "Your Majesty, this star abnormality is a sign of the dangerous moon and the swallow colliding with the moon. May I ask your Majesty, is there any woman related to the palace who is pregnant or has just given birth in the northwest of the Forbidden City?"

"You mean..." The emperor's face was filled with cold majesty.

The envoy was so scared that he took a half step back and replied, "If there is someone who meets what I said, that person will be a hindrance to the high-ranking woman in the palace. I dare to ask that woman not to have any connection with the palace in the near future, so as to break this situation."

The queen snorted and waved her hand, "Go down!"

"Su Peisheng, what the Imperial Observatory's envoy means is that I should not rush to take back Concubine Xi at this moment?"

Su Peisheng thought for a while, then nodded reluctantly, "In recent years, the Imperial Astronomical Observatory has never made any mistakes in its observation of the stars. I know that the Emperor does not want Concubine Xi to suffer outside the palace, but the Empress sprained her ankle and had a headache early in the morning, so I think it is better to be cautious."

The reason for saying this is that Su Peisheng once heard from Jinxi that Concubine Xi did not want to return to the palace yet.

"Well, the high-ranking women in the harem are the Queen Mother and the Empress, right? The Empress Dowager has been feeling unwell for a long time now, so it's better to avoid her. She will be fine after a few days."

On Penglai Island, Su Peisheng carefully told a few people about the celestial phenomenon. Zhen Huan sneered, "Wei Yueyan Chongyue? I didn't expect that they didn't want me to go back so much."

Su Peisheng smiled and said, "The Emperor said that this period of time is a good time to arrange the affairs of the palace. Although the Empress is ill, she has also spent a lot of time and effort to order people to renovate the Yongshou Palace. The palace has been busy these days preparing to take the Empress back!"

Zhen Huan smiled and handed the child to Huanbi, "Eunuch Su, you don't have to comfort me. I didn't intend to go back, but the Emperor is worried about the two children. If that's the case, I can't offend the Queen Mother and the Empress just for my own sake!"

Su Peisheng told Zhen Huan a little more about the recent situation in the palace. Zhen Huan knew that Eunuch Su must have a lot to say to Jinxi alone, so she sent Jinxi to see him off.

Huanbi helped Zhen Huan to get up and suggested, "My lady has been cooped up in the room for so long, why don't you go out and get some fresh air!"

Zhen Huan took her hand and came to the stool outside the door. She took Huanbi's hand and said:

"Huanbi, you have taken care of me day and night for more than half a year. You have worked so hard. Both I and your father owe you. Don't worry, now that the child has been born safely, I can't keep you with me forever. Prince Guo is handsome and has noble character. He is a rare good man. I feel relieved to have him take care of you."

Huanbi's eyes were red. She really wanted to marry the prince, but she was reluctant to be separated from her elder sister completely.

"My lady, Huanbi can't bear to leave you. Life after you return to the palace will definitely be very difficult. I'm worried that you won't be able to cope with it alone."

Zhen Huan handed her a handkerchief and gently wiped away her tears, pretending to smile casually, "Silly girl, don't I still have Huanbi and Jinxi? And Sister Mei and Lingrong, we can support each other, and there will be nothing we can't get through."

Huanbi nodded.

A few days later, the emperor was sitting on the dragon throne with his eyes closed. Su Peisheng was standing in the middle of the Yangxin Palace reporting that all arrangements had been made for Concubine Xi's return to the palace. At this time, Xia Qian came in.

"You go out first! I'll call you if I have something." He slowly opened his eyes and waved at Su Peisheng.

"How is the matter assigned to you going?" The emperor's face immediately became serious.

Xia Qian presented two pieces of evidence and knelt on the ground to reply: "Your Majesty, the evidence that Prince Guo found is indeed correct."

"You've checked everything. Do they all match? Including what happened to Longkodo twenty years ago?" The emperor felt a little doubtful.

Xia Qian nodded vigorously, "Yes, what I found is exactly the same as what Your Majesty found."

The emperor casually flipped through the things Xia Qian handed over, nodded after reading a page, "Yes, it is indeed the same. Thank you for your hard work this time. Remember my instructions, this matter must not be leaked at all."

After Xia Qian left, the emperor decided to go to Penglai Island.

After arriving, the emperor teased the two children for a long time and sent the rest away.

He leaned close to Zhen Huan's ear and whispered, "Huan Huan, there is something about the people around you, do you know?"

Zhen Huan didn't understand whether the emperor was talking about Jingxi or Huanbi. She deliberately thought about it for a while and pretended not to know, "Someone close to my concubine? I am stupid, I hope the emperor can clarify."
