Chapter 161 Zhen Huan 37
Ever since he knew he had traveled to this era, Yin Qi had been making preparations.
As long as those foreigners dare to invade China in the future, don't blame him for killing them.
“It’s all fallacy”
"Okay, let's not talk about that. Let me tell you, today...
As he spoke, Yinqi moved the book in his hand to the tea table next to him and began to tell Jinzhong what happened in the imperial garden today.
The two children rolled together and whispered, complaining and wondering whether Zhen Huan would say those suicidal words again when the red candles were lit and the bed was spread out tonight.
And at this moment in Jingren Palace.
“…Then the Emperor directly ordered to turn over Concubine Zhen’s name card at night, and then took Prince Yu back to the Yangxin Palace.
When Prince Yu comes out, let him take away the best corals and oriental pearls that Prince Zhi presented to him two days ago."
While delivering the news from the spy, Jianqiu glanced at the queen.
Sure enough, she saw that the queen's pen paused for a moment, and a drop of ink fell. In an instant, the calligraphy that the queen had not yet finished writing was ruined.
"My Lady, those things were supposed to be for you."
Seeing that the Queen had heard what she said, Jianqiu felt very distressed. She knew that she shouldn't say these things at this time, but she couldn't help but complain and speak up for the Queen.
"There is no question of right or wrong. Whoever the emperor wants to give it to, it belongs to him."
The queen sighed, put down her pen, crumpled up the piece of paper and threw it on the ground. She no longer had the mood to continue writing. She felt as if she was soaked in bitter water.
Seeing the Queen's lost look, Jianqiu cursed herself for being quick-witted and quickly changed her words to make amends by saying something the Queen would like to hear.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor still has you in his heart"
But after hearing this, the queen just smiled bitterly. She turned and went to the window, looking at the peonies in full bloom in the garden outside the door.
Does the emperor have feelings for her?
Haha, if you had told her this ten years earlier, she might have believed it. Ever since her sister appeared, she has no longer appeared in the emperor's eyes or heart.
If her sister had not died later, she would not have become the emperor's concubine based on her sister's last words and the emperor's guilt towards Honghui.
How could he completely gain the trust of the prince at that time and control the management power of the backyard of the palace?
Unfortunately, time was not on her side. With the entry of Nian Shilan into the palace, she was first favored and then lucky enough to become pregnant with the emperor's child half a year later. If the emperor had not tacitly agreed to her and Concubine Uya's proposal, which made her feel relieved, she didn't know how she could have held on.
But soon, Nian Shilan used some tricks to make the emperor change his mind. Three years ago, she discovered that there were few heirs in the palace and she had her own reasons, and told the emperor about it. (Yixiu believed that the emperor discovered this because of Nian Shilan)
How could the Emperor be like he is now? Apart from ceremonies or banquets such as New Year's Day that require the attendance of both the Emperor and the Empress, he is unwilling to even step into the gate of Jingren Palace.
His attitude towards her was even colder than ice. If the emperor had not advised not to abandon her before her sister's death, there would have been no precedent for abolishing a concubine in the Qing Dynasty.
In addition, the emperor had just ascended the throne, so it was impossible for him to announce the news of her killing his offspring and tarnish his reputation. Maybe the position of queen would be occupied by Nian Shilan instead of her now.
In addition, Concubine Wu Ya was seeking her own death, which led to the fact that when the emperor cleaned up the bannermen, he always cleaned out Wu Ya's family first, and at the same time removed all her visible minions, so that no one could use her anymore.
Otherwise, with her means and talents, how could she have reached this point.
Fortunately, she responded in time and took great pains to leave some of the Ulanara family's deeply hidden spies undiscovered, otherwise she would have become a hollow mascot in this cannibalistic harem.
Thinking of this, the Queen's hatred towards Nian Shilan, Yinqi and Prince Yi grew even stronger.
One of them stole her husband, one took away the wealth and glory that belonged to Honghui, and the other meddled in her affairs, leaving her with no one to rely on.
Thinking of her enemy, the queen immediately calmed down and started to plan.
Although she has no way out now, as long as she remains in the position of queen, sooner or later, she will definitely take revenge.
At this time, Zhen Huan in the Shu Yuxuan was also full of fighting spirit like the Queen.
Ever since she came back from the Imperial Garden, she had been feeling a little uneasy. She didn't know whether her plan this afternoon had been successful, and she couldn't understand why the Emperor reacted like that.
But before she could figure it out, the imperial edict from the Ministry of Internal Affairs forced her to put aside her wild thoughts. After the nanny told her a bunch of blushing rules, Zhen Huan was left with only a girl's expectation and shyness.
Even after she was lifted up with her body stretched out, Zhen Huan's proud heart began to feel dissatisfied again. She could not accept that she had to be carried to the bedchamber in such a humiliating manner like other women.
She always felt that this was wrong. She obviously shouldn't be treated like this, but this was the reality and she was forced to accept it.
Fortunately, she was very good at adjusting her mood. She silently told herself that it didn't matter. As long as today passed, the emperor would see her talent and would definitely look at her differently.
As for Xindian, Zhen Huan herself believed it without a doubt
In the evening, as the Fengluan Chun'en car drove away from Suiyuxuan, Shen Meizhuang, who lived in Suiyuxuan, lay on the bed and finally shed tears silently.
After the eunuch came to announce the decree in the afternoon, the news that Zhen Huan had accidentally met the Emperor in the Imperial Garden spread throughout the six palaces. Upon hearing the news, Shen Meizhuang couldn't help but remember that Zhen Huan had told her countless times before that she didn't want to sleep with the Emperor.
She had never doubted Huan'er, but what happened today did make her feel a little uneasy. But after thinking about it, Shen Meizhuang still chose to believe that Zhen Huan did not mean it.
All she could do now was to pray in her heart, hoping that Huan'er would give her some advice after she gained favor.
Thinking of the instructions given by her father and mother when she was at home, Shen Meizhuang deeply regretted her recklessness after entering the palace. Unfortunately, things had already happened, and no matter how much she regretted it, she could not change it.
The east side hall of the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
After Zhen Huan was carried in, she had been lying there for a long time, so long that her previously extremely nervous heart had calmed down. But she dared not move or make a sound. She could only hold on like this so that when the emperor came, he would see her in her best form.
An unknown amount of time had passed. When Zhen Huan was already feeling a little sleepy, the door finally creaked open. She immediately woke up and got ready.
Steady footsteps approached, and soon after, Zhen Huan felt someone sitting down beside the bed. She quickly adjusted herself, waiting for the Emperor to lift the quilt to see her beauty, but she didn't expect the person next to her to fall silent again.
Zhen Huan waited and waited, and after thinking for a while, she finally gritted her teeth, controlled herself, made a shy expression, carefully lifted the quilt a little bit with her hands, and poked her head out from inside to look at the person beside the bed.
