Zhen Huan Reborn as Langya to Cure Yi Syndrome

The funeral ceremonies for the late emperor had not yet been completed, but the ministers had already split into two factions, arguing fiercely over the renovation of Jingren Palace.

The faction headed by Zhang Tingyu stated that the late emperor had never deposed the empress, and advocated that the Empress of Jingren Palace be made the Mother Empress Dowager, and Consort Xi be made the Holy Mother Empress Dowager.

Led by Concubine Xi's relative Nianqin, it was stated that the Empress of Jingren Palace was deposed by the previous emperor without being abolished, and should continue to be imprisoned in Jingren Palace.

Of course, Zhen Huan didn't want Yi Xiu to come out. Yi Xiu had status and power, and if she stirred up Hongli's harem for Qingying, she would be the one who would suffer.

The ladies of the inner and outer courts were all kneeling in front of the late emperor's coffin, but Li Yu came to call Qingying away. Zhen Huan knew that Hongli was going to ask her what she thought. Concubine Xi also saw what was going on here.

At dinner time, Zhen Huan and the women of Prince Bao's mansion served Concubine Xi. Qingying, at the instruction of Cheng Han, the chief eunuch beside Concubine Xi, stepped forward to serve the soup she had presented.

The moment the lid of the soup bowl was opened, Zhen Huan took a deep breath and knelt down to plead guilty. "Please forgive me, Queen Mother. During the period of national mourning, Sister Qingying offered meat to the Queen Mother. It was not intentional to disrespect the late Emperor."

When the people behind saw the ham and chicken soup in the soup bowl, they all knelt down in a hurry, lowered their heads and kept silent, for fear that the Queen Mother would get angry and affect them.

The Queen Mother looked at Qingying fiercely and said, "Not only is she disrespectful to the late Emperor, she is also deliberately putting me in an unjust position."

Qingying knelt down hurriedly and explained, "Your Majesty, please calm down. It was my fault for not thinking carefully. I just wanted to whet your appetite with delicious food, but I didn't expect that it would disturb your meal. I hope your Majesty will take your body into consideration and eat more."

Qingying held the soup and moved it towards the Queen Mother.

"Every meal and drink must be considered according to the circumstances. Why are you always so inappropriate?" the empress dowager said angrily. Doesn't Qingying understand what people say? She has already said that eating meat during the national mourning period is disrespectful to the late emperor and puts her in an unjust position.

Seeing this, Zhen Huan also quickly pleaded: "Queen Dowager, Sister Qingying is still young and does not understand these rules. I hope that Queen Dowager will give her a lenient sentence as it is her first offense."

The Queen Mother snorted coldly and stopped looking at Qingying. Qingying lowered her head and knelt on the ground obediently.

Zhen Huan served the Queen Mother a bowl of porridge and served her dinner. During the entire dinner, the atmosphere in the palace was depressing and no one dared to speak.

Zhen Huan continued to plead for Qingying, "Madam, Qingying's fault today should not be made public, as it may tarnish the reputation of the Emperor and you. It would be better to confine her to her house and let her reflect on her mistakes."

That night, Hongli rested alone in the Yangxin Palace, listening to Wang Qin's report that during dinner today, Qingying served meat and fish, which angered the empress dowager.

I couldn't help but feel dizzy. Qingying was so stupid. If this matter got out, how would I, the new king, survive?

Although she was wary of the Empress Dowager's power and wanted to release the Queen of Jingren Palace to check and balance her, she went against the Emperor's father's will and offered him meat, which inevitably made people suspect that she was an unfilial person.

Zhen Huan brought Jing Se to pay respects to Hong Li. When the little girl saw the Emperor, she was already crying, but she still stretched out her soft little hands to wipe the corners of the Emperor's eyes. "Don't be sad, Emperor, you still have the Empress Dowager and me."

Hongli held the daughter who had grown up by his side, and looked at Zhen Huan who was smiling at him. He realized that he had been busy recently and neglected his wife and children. He felt that he was happier than the emperor, with such a virtuous wife and so many well-behaved and lovely children.

The fatigue in his wife's eyes could no longer be suppressed, but she still came to care about him. He couldn't help but think that the Empress Dowager and his mother were fighting, and Langya would be the one who was not popular on both sides.

The warmth in the Yangxin Palace was broken by a report. It was Fujia, who was beside the empress dowager, who was ordered to bring food to the emperor. In the basket was a bowl of mung bean soup and a plate of jujube paste and yam cake.

Seeing the mung bean soup, Hongli's face changed drastically, and painful memories echoed in his mind. No, you can't let the Queen of Jingren Palace out. Qingying doesn't like fighting. If the Queen of Jingren Palace makes the decision for her, what will happen to her children?

After understanding the Empress Dowager's intention, Hongli sent Aunt Fujia away and asked Zhen Huan for her opinion.

Zhen Huan pretended to know for the first time that Hongli wanted to release the Empress of Jingren Palace, and fear crept into her eyes.

If seeing Zhen Huan only shook Hongli's idea of ​​using the Queen of Jingren Palace to check and balance the Queen Mother, but seeing this bowl of mung bean soup, murderous intent had already covered his heart.

I am now in power, and I have the help of the Fucha family. The Queen Mother of Jingren Palace was killed. If the Queen Mother is content, let her enjoy her old age. If she stirs up trouble, then imprison her.

On the second day, the news that the Empress of Jingren Palace died suddenly due to excessive longing for the late emperor and followed him to death spread throughout the palace and outside the palace.

Zhang Tingyu asked to see Hongli and said frankly that the sudden death of the Queen Mother of Jingren Palace was unclear and strange, and asked Hongli to investigate it thoroughly. "The Queen Mother of Jingren Palace died suddenly just after the matter of honoring her. Your Majesty, the twists and turns in the matter are really puzzling. I ask Your Majesty to investigate this matter carefully."

Hongli said impatiently: "When an emperor dies, someone in the palace always dies of grief. What is there to think about?"

Zhang Tingyu raised his head, unwilling to give in, "It's just that the one who passed by this time was the former empress of the Qing Dynasty."

Hongli's impatience turned into slight anger. "Why was the Empress of Jingren Palace disliked by the late emperor? You should know better than me. Do you want to bring up such an old matter that affects the foundation of the country and the reputation of the royal family? I have already ordered to posthumously confer the title of Empress Chunyuan of the Emperor's father as Empress Xiaojingxian. There is no need to discuss this matter any further."

Zhang Tingyu was about to say something else, but Hongli had already impatiently brushed away his beloved seal and cursed loudly.

"Now that there is a flood in the south of the Yangtze River and the Miao border is ready to make trouble, you don't worry about the business, but take my salary and only distract yourself from the affairs of the women in the harem. I don't need you to enter the Imperial Ancestral Temple, because you have been forcing me to disobey the will of the late emperor."

The emperor was furious, and Zhang Tingyu dared not offend him again. He could only kneel down and beg for mercy, then take his leave and leave the Yangxin Palace.

On the Queen Mother's side, Hongli handed the task to Zhen Huan. Zhen Huan came to Yongshou Palace to pay respect to the Queen Mother.

As for the current Queen Mother, Zhen Huan doesn't know whether she is another soul or a little world without a clear self, but she still hopes that she can enjoy her old age.

The Queen Mother looked at Langya in front of her. Unlike Qingying, she was not trying to be mysterious. Smart people always speak their mind.

Zhen Huan told the Queen Mother that the Emperor had already ordered the renovation of the Cining Palace and was willing to use the whole country to support the Queen Mother. He only hoped that she could enjoy her old age in peace and happiness for the rest of her life.

"Hengchui is marrying far away in Dzungar, and Hengti's marriage is still undecided. How can we feel at ease?" The Queen Mother looked at Zhen Huan and stated her final request.

"Does the Queen Mother think that just by exchanging a few letters with the court officials or having the power to manage the harem, she can influence the Emperor's decisions?"

After hearing what Zhen Huan said, the Queen Mother's eyes were shaken. She had only given a few suggestions about Prince Dun's family, but the late Emperor had suspected her. Neither the father nor the son were emperors who could be manipulated by others. If she angered him, he would vent his anger on his half-sister.

Before leaving, Zhen Huan told the Queen Mother that the Emperor had sent spies to Junggar to protect Princess Duanshu. She also asked the Emperor to allow the Queen Mother to raise Princess Roushu herself, and the Princess would enter the palace tomorrow.
