Zhen Huan is still in love, and her sister's goal is to become the queen mother
Chapter 22: Accountability to Zhen Huan
After the emperor ordered a thorough investigation that day, Su Peisheng began a detailed check in every palace.
This is so unlucky. I thought I would have another favorite concubine, but I didn't expect to encounter such a thing.
Su Peisheng was held accountable by the emperor, and he was in a bad mood because he still hadn't found the person.
Su Peisheng thought carefully about the situation in each palace. From Yu Ying'er's description, he thought of a person who had never been in the public eye.
Wan Changzai, Wan Changzai who has been sick.
Thinking of this, Su Peisheng took people to Suiyuxuan.
When she first entered the Sui Yu Xuan, Zhen Huan didn't know what was going on, so she quickly stood up to greet him and asked with a smile:
"Why is Eunuch Su here?"
Before he finished speaking, Yu Ying'er beside him called out:
"Wan Changzai? It's her. She was the one that night."
Yu Ying'er's words were like a thunderbolt that broke the apparent calm.
"This……"
Before Zhen Huan knew what to do, Su Peisheng's expression changed. He didn't expect it was really her.
Su Peisheng did not explain further and just said:
"Wan Changzai, please come with me. The emperor wants to see you."
Seeing Su Peisheng's fake smile, Cui Jinxi, who was beside Zhen Huan, asked worriedly:
"Eunuch Su, have a cup of tea. May I ask what the emperor wants to see our young lady about?"
Su Peisheng waved his hand slightly to refuse Jinxi's offer to pour tea, but his attitude became much better. He winked at her and didn't want to say more.
Cui Jinxi understood what Su Peisheng meant and stood aside again.
Liuzhu and Huanbi were tidying up Zhen Huan's clothes, and Su Peisheng came over to urge her:
"My lord, this is an urgent matter. Let's go there as soon as possible."
While speaking politely, he took Zhen Huan to the Palace of Tranquil Longevity without giving her a chance to refuse.
Zhen Huan had no choice but to let the maids stay and follow Su Peisheng to the Palace of Tranquil Longevity.
"Your Majesty, the person has been found."
"bring it here."
The emperor looked sullen, but was stunned when he saw the person.
"Wan Changzai? Aren't you recuperating?"
Zhen Huan didn't know what was going on, so she just said:
"I have seen the emperor. To answer your question, I have been ill and am recuperating in Suiyuxuan."
The emperor was even more angry after hearing this, but he couldn't bear to blame her when he saw the face that looked like Chun Yuan, so he asked Yu Ying'er:
"Are you sure it's her?"
When Yu Ying'er saw that the Emperor sided with Zhen Huan, she refused to comply and swore to the heavens as if she was willing to risk her life.
"It is absolutely true. How dare I lie to Your Majesty? If I say even a word of falsehood, I will be struck by lightning!"
Looking at Yu Ying'er's expression, the emperor's ability to judge people over the years made him know that what she said was true.
The emperor also thought of what she had said before. He didn't want to be favored and live a miserable life, but he also wanted the emperor's grace. It was really...
Moreover, Zhen Huan's illness was so strange and it took a long time to get better. I was afraid that she wanted to avoid favor and then regretted it, or it was a unique way to win favor.
The emperor thought for a while and made up his mind.
"Call an imperial physician to see Wan Changzai."
When Zhen Huan heard that the Emperor was going to call the imperial physician, she was afraid that her pretense of illness would be exposed, so she spoke out to stop him.
But the emperor ignored her at this time.
"Call Zhang Mi, the judge of the Imperial Hospital."
When Imperial Doctor Zhang arrived, he knew everything after taking Zhen Huan's pulse.
It’s over, Zhen Huan thought.
I can only try my best to speak in a direction that is beneficial to myself.
"Your Majesty, this Concubine Wan...she..."
Seeing that Zhang Mi was hesitant and unwilling to speak, the emperor knew that there was something wrong with Zhen Huan's illness.
"Just tell me straight, I don't blame you."
"This Wan is always in good health and has no disease."
After Zhang Mi finished speaking, he knelt on the ground.
Seeing that the dust had settled, Zhen Huan quickly knelt down to apologize, and began to explain that the illness had been cured instead of that she had never had the disease.
"Your Majesty, my illness has indeed been cured. I did not mean to lie."
The emperor looked at Zhen Huan's face, which was so similar to Chun Yuan's, but whose personalities were so different. He couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
"You said you were ill, so the Queen exempted you from attending the palace banquet and took good care of you. I didn't expect that."
"No wonder a patient can't attend the night banquet, but can run to Yimei Garden in the freezing cold to seek favor."
"It's nothing more than a fool imitating others, a clown."
The Emperor was angry, and looking at Zhen Huan's face, he felt more and more that she was trying to imitate Chun Yuan, but ended up drawing a dog instead of a tiger.
"You can still hide the news, Su Peisheng, call the imperial physician who treated her."
"I want to see who is so bold as to collude with you."
The emperor was gasping for breath, and Su Peisheng quickly helped him to calm down.
"Your Majesty, please don't get so angry about this that you become ill. Your health is more important."
The young eunuch quickly brought Wen Shichu.
"emperor."
Wen Shichu knelt on the ground, knowing that the matter was most likely exposed, and tried his best to take the blame on himself.
"It's all my fault, don't blame your Majesty."
Don’t blame her, the emperor sneered.
Seeing that the situation was not going well, Zhen Huan quickly interrupted Wen Shichu.
She now understood everything and had to change her tone:
"Your Majesty, it was I who asked Doctor Wen to conceal the truth. After I recovered from my illness, I wanted to regain Your Majesty's favor, so I asked Doctor Wen to keep it a secret for a few more days so that I could leave an impression on Your Majesty at the palace banquet. It was I who was bewitched."
What Zhen Huan said was consistent with the emperor's guess, but the emperor was very suspicious and still had some doubts.
But since he was sick and out of favor, he was trying every means to regain favor, so he concealed the news and spent New Year's Eve in Yime Garden, which was reasonable.
But where did she get the information, and how could she have the ability to make the imperial physician keep it secret?
Looking at Zhen Huan's face that resembled Chun Yuan, although the emperor hated her, he still softened his heart.
The crime was lightly attributed to vying for favor.
"In that case, considering that this is your first offense, I will lower your sentence to a promise."
The sin is minor, but the seeds of doubt have been planted, and once a catalyst is added, they will take root and sprout.
Zhen Huan escaped, but Wen Shichu was not so lucky.
The emperor's cold eyes swept over him:
"Wen Shichu, kill!"
The word "kill" made everyone present tremble in their hearts.
Zhen Huan looked at Wen Shichu who was kneeling in front of her with fear. She probably didn't expect that she would implicate him to this extent.
Wen Shichu died, and Zhen Huan also lost a great helper.
Wen Shichu was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground. He struggled to look at Zhen Huan, and then was dragged away like a dead dog by several strong young eunuchs.
Wen Shichu thought that this was a serious crime of deceiving the emperor and that his entire clan should be exterminated, but fortunately the emperor did not implicate anyone else and ordered that only he should be beheaded and no one else should be involved.
The current emperor has just ascended the throne, and the Rebellion of the Eight Kings and Nine Kings is still before his eyes, so naturally he will not start a massacre. Fortunately, his family was able to be saved.
And he has lived up to his oath to Zhen Huan. Even now, Doctor Wen is still stubborn and refuses to change his ways.
I really don't know whether to say that he is affectionate or to laugh at his stupidity.
Yu Ying'er over there was watching this farce but was very happy in her heart. The person had been found, and the emperor's promise could be fulfilled. Her chance had come.
While thinking about it, the emperor also thought of Yu Ying'er and asked her:
"What reward do you want?"
Yu Ying'er knelt down happily and saluted.
"I hope to serve the emperor."
The emperor looked at Yu Ying'er lying on the ground. He was a man who kept his promises and would naturally fulfill them:
"Then make her an official lady."
Yu Ying'er was ecstatic, but Zhen Huan was shocked.
There are some who are happy and some who are sad, what a diverse range of people.
