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

Zhen Huan and Concubine Duan exchanged glances and slowly stood up. Seeing this, Huanbi hurried forward to support them. Just as she looked up, she suddenly caught a glimpse of the familiar button above the Empress Dowager's lapel.

She panicked for a moment and almost lost her balance. If she hadn't been holding Zhen Huan's hand, and the two of them supporting each other, she would probably have fallen to the ground and lost her composure in front of the Queen Mother.

Zhen Huan noticed her abnormality and held Huanbi's wrist with her backhand. She thought that Huanbi was feeling unwell due to the hot weather, so she planned to leave the Queen Mother's place early and let Huanbi go back to have a good rest.

The Queen Mother glanced at the concubines, sighed and said, "The number of concubines in the harem is decreasing. You must be more obedient. The Emperor chose you to enter the palace to continue his descendants and relieve his worries and troubles. You must not be like Hua Fei and Xiang Fei. Even if you can't share the Emperor's worries, you must not cause trouble for him, and you must not do things that are against the will of heaven. Do you understand?"

All the concubines replied in unison: "We will keep this in mind, please rest assured, Your Majesty."

The Queen Mother gave some instructions for a while, which were nothing more than words like "the concubines must behave themselves", and then asked everyone to leave.

Several people left Shoukang Palace together. Mei Jiejie walked in front with Zhen Huan and Ling Rong. She smiled and said, "I see that the Queen Mother loves Luo Yao very much. The princess is really blessed."

Zhen Huan smiled calmly, her lips curled up, "The Queen Mother is kind and loving, and she values ​​all of the Emperor's children. It is naturally a blessing for Luo Yao to be appreciated by the Queen Mother."

Although Zhen Huan said this, she was worried about Huanbi beside her, because from the moment Huanbi helped her up, Zhen Huan vaguely realized that something was wrong with her, so she hurriedly said a few words to Sister Mei, said goodbye, and took Huanbi's hand and hurried back to Shuiyuxuan.

At this moment, only the two sisters were left in the room. Zhen Huan sat on a chair and asked, "Just now I saw you almost lose your composure in the Queen Mother's Palace. Are you feeling unwell?"

Huanbi paused and told Zhen Huan that she had just seen the familiar button on the Empress Dowager and was frightened, so she almost misbehaved.

Zhen Huan was startled at first, and asked in confusion, "Queen Dowager, do you mean that the buttons on the Queen Dowager's body are related to Longkodo?"

Huanbi pondered for a moment, lowered her head and said: "I am not too sure, but I feel vaguely scared. If the matter of my grandparents' family is really related to the Queen Mother, then the investigation will be much more difficult." Huanbi couldn't help but frowned as she spoke, and she was also troubled.

Zhen Huan nodded and thought for a moment: "The Queen Mother and Longkodo are cousins. The Tonggiya family is the most prominent family in the Qing Dynasty. If there are people in the palace, there will also be people in Longkodo's mansion. It's not a rare thing. But, as you worry, if this matter is really related to the Queen Mother, do you still plan to continue investigating?"

Huanbi pursed her lips. She was worried about the Queen Mother's authority. She couldn't help but be afraid. Moreover, this matter had already implicated Yunli. If the prince found out that this matter was related to the Queen Mother, he might not continue to help her just based on his filial piety.

Forget it, this matter shouldn’t be relied on by others. Even though Yunli cares and loves her very much, this is ultimately her own business.

Now that she has grasped some clues, she must continue the investigation no matter what. Even if she cannot shake Longkodo and the Queen Mother in the slightest by her own strength, no matter how the Emperor and the world evaluate the matter, she must clear her maternal grandfather's family's name.

Huanbi nodded and said, "My lady, I know that this matter is extremely difficult to investigate. If I alert the enemy, I might be killed. But for the sake of my mother and my grandfather's innocence, I have no choice but to do it.

Please rest assured, my lady, I will not implicate Sui Yu Xuan and the Zhen family. If this matter is discovered one day, I will definitely not implicate the entire Zhen family. I have already lost my mother, and I will not let my father fall into danger again."

As Huanbi spoke, her eyes were slightly red, but her eyes were unusually firm.

Zhen Huan was moved by her pure and firm belief, and held her hand and said:

"People outside say that you and I have very different personalities, but now I see that we have the same thoughts and personalities. If it were me, I would also investigate this thoroughly, so don't talk about whether it's related or not.

But it is always better to be careful and cautious. Don't put yourself in danger before you have figured out the situation. That will not be worth the loss. Do you understand this principle?"

Huanbi nodded vigorously. She didn't expect that Zhen Huan would put herself in her shoes and think for her. She was immediately moved and secretly swore in her heart that she would never involve the young lady with other irrelevant people no matter what.

On the other hand, Prince Guo heard that Xiao Hu's mother was seriously ill. Over the years, Xiao Hu ran around and spent a lot of money to seek medical treatment. He had found all the doctors in and outside the capital with his connections and abilities, but still no one could cure Xiao's mother's illness.

Just last year, Xiao Hu found a miracle doctor who told him that if he could find the snow lotus on the snow-capped mountains in northern Xinjiang and use it as medicine, he could cure old lady Xiao's illness.

However, the snow-capped mountains in the northern border are covered with snow and ice all year round, making it dangerous and difficult to travel. It is even more difficult to move at the highest points, and there is no place for people to climb. Xiao Hu has asked several groups of people to go and pick the snow lotus, but most of them did not come back, let alone bring back snow lotus. The few who survived only managed to save their lives with great difficulty, and were so scared that they never dared to go again.

After hearing about this, Prince Guo thought about it all night. The next morning, he packed his bags and rode at full speed to the northern border.

It is already hot summer in Beijing, but here in the northern border, the temperature difference between day and night is still very large. From afar, the mountains are still covered with snow, giving people a sense of coldness.

Over the years, Prince Guo has traveled extensively and made many friends in different places, especially those from ethnic minorities.

He found a friend he had met in the northern border in the past, explained the purpose of his visit, and begged him to help him. Unexpectedly, when the Hu man heard that he wanted to pick snow lotus, he couldn't help laughing:

"Your Highness is a member of the Heavenly Family. Although you have traveled extensively, you have never done anything so dangerous, right? The snow lotus on the mountain is extremely difficult to pick even for the bravest of the Hu people. Your Highness is a pampered person. I think you should just have a good time here for a few days and then go back!"

If we really want to go to that high mountain snowy land, I am afraid that within two days, our physical strength will be exhausted. I don't understand why the prince wants to get into such a dangerous situation?"

The prince understood that these Hu people lived in the northern border area all year round, so their bodies were naturally stronger and healthier than those of them who lived in the capital, had a fine diet and favorable conditions. If they could not pick the snow lotus easily, it would be even more difficult for him to do so.

However, only if Xuelian is sent to Xiao Hu, will Xiao Hu be willing to help him.
