Chapter 461: Legend of Zhen Huan - Nian Shilan 65
When Zhen Huan failed to be promoted to a concubine, the Queen laughed heartily in Jingren Palace, especially when she learned that she had successfully pushed the blame on Nian Shilan, she felt even more proud.
"Nian Shilan, ah Nian Shilan, do you think you can avoid participating in the harem fights by staying in Yikun Palace?"
"Don't even think about it!"
Why does she, as the emperor's wife, need to fight personally with the concubines for the emperor's favor and the power and status of the empress, while Nian Shilan, a concubine, can hide behind with the palace power and remain innocent, like a white lotus that grows out of the mud without being stained, making these people look even more hypocritical.
Every time the Queen tried to harm someone, she would try every possible means to lead the "evidence" to Nian Shilan, but unfortunately Nian Shilan had many people in the palace and always disrupted her arrangements, causing the Queen's frame-up to fail none of the time.
It was a rare success this time, and the Queen was really happy. However, her happiness disappeared after the Emperor arrived.
"Empress, Chunyuan's things have been kept by you for so many years, why did Wanpin wear them this time?"
The Emperor's words seemed like a question, but his tone sounded like a confirmation. The Queen heard it and immediately knelt down to apologize, saying that she had sent the clothes left by her sister to the Ministry of Internal Affairs a few months ago in order to preserve them, and she did not know why Zhen Huan "mistakenly wore" them later.
The emperor stood in front of the queen and watched her kneeling humbly with cold eyes, but he did not feel a trace of pity. He just felt that the person in front of him was hateful. As for the explanation given by the queen, the emperor did not believe a word of it.
"I don't want to see Chun Yuan's things appear outside of Jingren Palace again. I hope the Queen can keep Chun Yuan's old things well. If it happens again, I will definitely take away all of Chun Yuan's things."
Considering that the Queen helped him to test out Zhen Huan's ambition this time, the Emperor finally did not say anything more to the Queen. After warning the Queen, he turned around and left Jingren Palace, completely ignoring the fact that today was the second day of the second month, the day when the Dragon raises its head. According to the rules, the Emperor should have stayed in Jingren Palace with the Queen on such an important day as today.
The queen knelt on the ground without looking up. After the emperor left, Jianqiu and others immediately came in to help the queen stand up, "Your Majesty, please get up quickly."
The queen looked up and saw that she was already in tears, completely losing her previous proud and cheerful look.
"The emperor is gone. He came here just to warn me not to mess with my sister's old things. He totally disregarded my dignity."
The husband she loved so much didn't have her in his eyes or heart. The queen felt so empty at this moment. She wiped away her tears forcefully and smiled, "But I still won this time."
Although she was discovered by the Emperor, Zhen Huan still fell into the trap. After this test, the Queen confirmed that Zhen Huan, the substitute, did not replace Chun Yuan. In other words, Chun Yuan was still the white moonlight in the Emperor's heart, and as Chun Yuan's sister, she was protected by her again.
On the other hand, something went wrong during Zhen Huan's canonization ceremony. Shen Meizhuang and Fu Cha Peiyun, two concubines who were promoted to the rank of imperial concubines, were lucky enough to successfully complete their canonizations and were not implicated by Zhen Huan.
Half a month later, before Zhen Huan could find a way to lift the house arrest, news came from outside the palace that Zhen Huan's father Zhen Yuandao was exposed by Concubine Qi's father Guaerjia Emin for secretly keeping the collection of poems of a criminal and sympathizing with him. The Emperor was furious and ordered Zhen Yuandao to be exiled to Ningguta.
Now Zhen Huan had no choice but to be anxious. In order to plead for her father, Zhen Huan had to risk disobeying the emperor's order and ignore the house arrest. She left Chengqian Palace and ran to Qianqing Palace to ask for an audience with the emperor.
Su Peisheng had originally been very optimistic about Zhen Huan and wanted to establish a good relationship with her, but he could not stand the fact that Zhen Huan was too arrogant. Su Peisheng followed the emperor and witnessed with his own eyes how Zhen Huan was so smart as to discuss state affairs with the emperor. Now Zhen Huan's father Zhen Yuandao was exposed by others for sympathizing with a criminal, which the emperor considered to be a sign of disloyalty.
Not long after Zhen Huan put on Queen Chunyuan's old clothes, she disobeyed the emperor's order and went out of Chengqian Palace to plead for Zhen Yuandao. She really stepped on the emperor's suspicion in every precise way.
Su Peisheng didn't dare to have any contact with Zhen Huan at this time. No matter how Zhen Huan said it, Su Peisheng was decent and selfless and didn't inform her.
During the struggle, Zhen Huan's eyes went dark and she fainted in front of the Qianqing Palace. Now Su Peisheng had no choice but to report it.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Wan is waiting outside the Qianqing Palace. I have stopped her according to your instructions, but..."
"Just what? Could it be that Concubine Wan is not satisfied with disobeying the imperial order, and she wants to threaten me!"
How could the Emperor not know that Zhen Huan had come? He just didn't want to see Zhen Huan, and even more so didn't want to hear her pleading for Zhen Yuandao. However, he didn't expect Su Peisheng and others to be so useless. Not only did they fail to stop the person for such a long time, but now there were other situations.
"No, it was Concubine Wan who fainted."
"Fainted?" The emperor asked impatiently. He didn't believe that Concubine Wan really fainted. He thought it was just a common trick used by women in the harem: 'cry, make a fuss, and then hang yourself'. He originally thought that Zhen Huan was smart and talented, different from others, but he didn't expect that she would actually use this trick.
"If she fainted, just send someone to carry her back."
The Qianqing Palace was bustling with people, and court officials came in and out from time to time. Wouldn't it be embarrassing for the emperor if Zhen Huan collapsed at the gate of the Qianqing Palace? Su Peisheng was just here to test the emperor's feelings. Now that he saw that the emperor didn't feel pity for Zhen Huan because she fainted, he knew what was going on.
"Yes, slaves follow the order."
Not long after Zhen Huan was carried back to Chengqian Palace, Liuzhu and Huanbi saw that she had not woken up for a long time, so they wanted to go out and find the imperial physician to treat Zhen Huan. Unfortunately, because Zhen Huan had previously ignored the oral order to leave Chengqian Palace, there were many more guards guarding the door after she was sent back.
No matter how Liu Zhu pleaded, the guards remained indifferent and refused to let her go. Finally, Liu Zhu got so anxious that she ran straight into the guard's knife and successfully used her own life to invite an imperial physician for Zhen Huan.
When Zhen Huan woke up, Wen Shichu was taking her pulse with a strange expression. Huanbi was sitting beside her with red eyes, obviously she had been crying.
"Huanbi, what's wrong with me?"
"The queen was so emotional that she fainted in front of the Qianqing Palace. Eunuch Su saw this and reported it to the emperor, who sent someone to bring the queen back."
"After returning, the queen has not woken up, so I... invited Doctor Wen to come over."
Huanbi didn't know how to tell Zhen Huan about Eunuch Su's attitude when he sent someone to send them back to the palace. She also didn't know how to tell Zhen Huan that there were extra guards guarding the gate of Chengqian Palace. She didn't know how to tell Zhen Huan that Liu Zhu paid with her life to hire an imperial physician for Zhen Huan.
I can only give a vague and general explanation.
"Doctor Wen, what's wrong with me?" Zhen Huan felt uncomfortable in her stomach and body. Although she woke up, her head was still dizzy. She was completely unaware of the problem in Huanbi's words. She just wanted to know what was wrong with her.
"Your Majesty's pulse feels good and should be smooth, but the heir's fetal breathing is too weak, I..."
Zhen Huan is pregnant but now it looks like she's going to have a miscarriage. Wen Shichu is not sure he can help Zhen Huan keep the baby, but he also doesn't want to upset Zhen Huan, so he can only hesitate.
