Zhen Huan Reborn as Langya to Cure Yi Syndrome

Chapter 228 Return to the Palace

Zhenshu went to give silver to Shui Linglong, and she told her everything that Zhen Huan had told her.

"My master said that she will not let you perform or sleep with me. If you are willing, she will redeem you and give you a secret house in another place, and you can be a good citizen from now on."

Shui Linglong sneered. She thought she was the empress in the harem and wanted to use her to win favor and help her enter the palace. It turned out that she was still disdained to serve the emperor. After all the trouble, she still wanted to send her away.

"If I don't do this, what else can I do? I don't need her to pretend to be kind."

Zhenshu was speechless for a moment. This girl was indeed very arrogant and didn't want to listen to what others were saying.

Shui Linglong said again: "I want to see your master."

Zhenshu said: "The royal family has strict rules, I'm afraid it will be inconvenient."

Shui Linglong approached Zhenshu and said, "Don't worry, I'm just curious, nothing will happen. But what if I accidentally do something on the way back to the palace because of my curiosity?"

Zhenshu went back to report, and Zhen Huan agreed to meet Shui Linglong.

Shui Linglong disguised herself as a shopping maid and went into Zhen Huan's bedroom with Zhen Shu.

Shui Linglong looked at Zhen Huan who was sitting on the bed and said, "So it really is the Queen."

Zhen Huan nodded slightly and asked, "Why do you want to see me?"

Shui Linglong sat down and said, "I'm really curious. Why did you help me meet the emperor, but then send me away? As the queen, you should have many ways to make a commoner girl disappear. Why do you go the long way?"

Zhen Huan smiled and explained, "Because you have already created momentum and made the emperor interested in you, I am involved first to prevent the emperor from directly asking you to sleep with him. Also, I want to stimulate someone because of you, so I need you to appear in front of them."

"I have used you, so I am willing to redeem you and give you a house and silver."

Shui Linglong then asked, "One last question. If you dislike me sleeping with you, why are you willing to see me?"

Shui Linglong has seen too many people who treat them as viruses. The noble queen must be the more hypocritical type.

Zhen Huan smiled and said, "I have never disliked you. I was afraid that you would sleep with me, but I just wanted to save your life."

"help me?"

"Yes, your background means you are destined not to enter the palace. The emperor will not risk the world's disapproval for you. After serving the emperor, the royal family will not allow you to stay among the people and serve others. So, what do you think will be your fate?"

Shui Linglong's pupils trembled for a moment, and she asked, "Is it really like this?"

Zhen Huan nodded: "There is no need for me to lie to you."

Shui Linglong added: "I'm just curious, why would a queen care about the life or death of a prostitute."

"Because of pity. You are much younger than my youngest child. Maybe pity is also humiliating for a proud person like you, but this is indeed the real reason why I help you."

"No, I appreciate it."

Zhen Huan finally explained: "For a beauty, if there is no ability to protect herself that matches her appearance, beauty is a mistake."

"So, I'll give you a house somewhere else. Leave Hangzhou to avoid someone who is unwilling to let you go."

Shui Linglong took her indenture contract and packed her luggage. The queen rewarded her with a lot of silver bills, enough for her to open a shop and become a wealthy citizen.

The queen also sent someone to escort her out of the city. She took a last look in the direction of the palace, got on the carriage, and left without looking back.

Zhen Huan's injury was not serious, but she had to pretend to be sick for a few days, so she was lazy every day.

One day, they were drinking tea and chatting when Ningxia suddenly came to report: "The emperor and Prince Bao had a quarrel. It was so fierce that even Eunuch Jinzhong was scared. He said that the emperor said a lot of harsh words."

Zhen Huan quickly dressed up, asked Xiaochun to continue bandaging her wound, and walked towards Hongli's bedroom.

Hongli's face turned pale as he stared at his son who was standing on the ground. Yonglian had reached middle age and was no longer the little boy who looked up to him.

"The world belongs to me, it's not your turn to comment. I'm not dead yet, so you have no right to speak."

Yonglian knelt down and said, "The world belongs to the emperor, father, and it also belongs to the people. The emperor has stopped these measures that benefit the country and the people for no reason. I am really sad."

Hongli said: "Do you think I am a fool? Do you think I don't know that these measures are beneficial to the people?"

"But I will tell you today that the people only need to live and work in peace and contentment and have enough food to eat. If they are too prosperous, their minds will become active, and the consequences will be something you and I cannot bear."

Yonglian looked at his father in shock. It turned out that his father was not old and incompetent, but he was committing the crime knowingly.

"But Father Emperor, Westerners are all changing. If we remain complacent, it is inevitable that they will turn into jackals in the future. We will not be able to afford that."

"I have made up my mind. You don't need to persuade me anymore."

Yonglian clenched his fists and stepped back.

The quarrel between the father and son was so loud that people standing outside could hear it clearly.

Zhen Huan sighed silently, it has finally come to this.

Yonglian stepped out with red eyes. His dream was immediately shattered by the obstruction of his father.

As expected, humans cannot control the laws of nature or rewrite history?

Zhen Huan patted her son's shoulder and said, "Don't anger your father recently. The Empress Dowager will help you find a solution."

Zhen Huan and Yong Lian left together. This kind of disagreement was not something she could resolve. She decided not to move forward. If she was considered to be involved in politics, they would be finished.

A plan was brewing in Zhen Huan's mind. She asked Daju: "When will Wei Yanwan come back?"

Daju said, "Wei Yanwan said she didn't want to see Ruyi and wanted to wait until she went to keep vigil for Ling Yunche before coming back."

Zhen Huan said, "Please ask Wei Yanwan to come back as soon as possible. I need her help."

The current Wei Yanwan probably wouldn't dare to help her slay the dragon. For Wei Yanwan with the memories of her previous life, killing Hongli would not be a problem.

When the emperor was returning to the palace and passing through a small town in the south, everyone heard a pleasant singing voice coming into the imperial boat.

"Lotus can be picked in the south of the Yangtze River. The lotus leaves are so lush. There are two carps playing with each other in the green waves. One fish plays on the lotus leaves to the east, and the other plays on the lotus leaves to the south. Whose girl is in the deepest part of the lotus leaves? She throws a lotus across the water with a smile."

Zhen Huan saw a woman standing in a small pavilion on the shore. She was singing loudly, attracting passers-by to linger.

The breeze blew her hair, and her plain clothes could not hide her beauty. She washed off her makeup and had some of the spirit of a young girl.

After Zhen Huan's Qingquefang passed the small pavilion, the girl stopped singing and waved her arms desperately.

She murmured, "Goodbye, Queen."

Today it was as if a gentle breeze was sending her off, carrying her singing voice into the imperial boat. She thought that perhaps all things in the world really had spirits, so she wished that good would be rewarded with good, and evil would be punished with evil.
