"Thank you, Queen, and Fourteenth Master."

Zhen Huan raised her head slightly and glanced at the Fourteenth Master with her lowered eyes. What she saw was a young and handsome face with a gentle temperament and vitality. Her heart skipped a beat.

She hurriedly looked away, not daring to look again.

Fortunately, her face was red, swollen and congested after being beaten by Wang Ruofu, and she applied ointment, so others could not see it. Only Zhen Huan herself knew how hot her cheeks were at this time.

It turns out that this is the Fourteenth Master, the real General King.

He is not only handsome, but also polite. He is willing to speak for the queen even though they don't know each other. He is completely different from the emperor who pretends to be a grandson as soon as he sees the queen.

The Queen Mother asked the question only after Zhen Huan sat down.

"Wanguan girl, no, now it's Wanguan who agreed." The Queen Mother said deliberately, "You took the beating for the emperor, and you really deserve to be promoted. I have to admire you."

Zhen Huan clasped her hands together, placed them on her knees, and brought her feet together and inward, forming a defensive posture.

She lowered her head slightly, and the bangs on her forehead blocked her eyes.

She pretended not to understand the sarcasm and profound meaning in the Queen Mother's words, and instead spoke clearly and cautiously. She only changed her words after the Queen Mother acknowledged that she had indeed been promoted to a concubine.

"As a concubine, it is my duty to serve the emperor. I dare not ask for promotion."

The Queen Mother's eyes turned cold. She was different from Wang Ruofu. Wang Ruofu controlled the six palaces by force, but she was the real winner in the palace fight.

These tricks of Zhen Huan are commonplace.

He was both disgusted and wary of her. She had a look and talent similar to Rouze, but she was also scheming and ruthless, and her level of cruelty was probably no less than that of Nian Shilan.

"Oh, you are good at talking. I will ask you again, when did you know the emperor's identity?"

Zhen Huan knew she couldn't escape, so she could only reply in front of the Emperor: "Your Majesty, I just learned about your Majesty's identity today, and then I met the Empress on the palace road."

The Queen Mother laughed again, not wanting Zhen Huan to divert attention by dragging others into the conversation. "You don't have to say that. Just answer whatever I ask you."

"Yes."

Zhen Huan managed to hold on, but her fingers were clasped tighter and tighter.

The atmosphere gradually became tense. No one spoke anymore, and everyone waited for the Queen Mother to continue asking questions.

The Queen Mother glanced at Wang Ruofu, who had not yet grasped the key point, and shook her head helplessly. This child used to be very smart, but now...

It seems that the brain will rust if it is not used for a long time.

The Queen Mother turned to look at the Emperor: "Is that what she said?"

The Emperor: "My Lady, that is indeed the case."

"Then you have been flirting with her using the identity of the Fourteenth Prince." The Queen Mother suddenly quickened her tone and asked in one breath.

The emperor was speechless, "My son knows his mistake and will not make it again."

"Now it's not a question of whether you will do it again in the future, but a question of whether Wan promised to have sex with a man outside the palace as a concubine."

The Queen Mother explained, her tone softening again, looking at the Emperor with gentle eyes, "Fourth Brother, I am not angry at you for pretending to be Fourteenth Brother. I am angry at you for not knowing that you were bullied."

The last sentence was said with such sincerity that it successfully softened the emperor's psychological defenses.

"Empress Huang..."

The emperor suddenly realized. Yes, why didn’t he think about it, who Zhen Huan likes is him or the Fourteenth Prince?

The Queen Mother waved her hand, signaling him not to say more, and then took out a handkerchief to wipe the corners of her eyes, and then continued to interrogate: "Wan promised, if you do this, where will the emperor be placed?"

Zhen Huan was not as panicked as everyone imagined. Although it had only been a short time since the Queen Mother last asked her this question, a lot of things had happened.

She had already thought of the answer, so she knelt on the ground calmly and apologized: "I know that I have violated the palace rules and done something that has damaged the reputation of the royal family. I am willing to die and forgive my sins."

The emperor and Wang Ruofu were both shocked, and Wang Ruofu said bluntly: "Are you playing such a big game?"

The Queen Mother, who was watching from the sidelines, couldn't help but pat Wang Ruofu and signaled with her eyes -

Stop talking and listen. This little fox has some medicine in his gourd.

Wang Ruofu frowned: What do you mean?

Wang Ruofu didn't understand the empress dowager's eyes, but the empress dowager saw her confusion and rolled her eyes in anger.

"Fortunately." Zhen Huan paused for a moment, her tone changed from hesitation to firmness, "Fortunately, I now know the emperor's identity, and I have no regrets in death."

The emperor was moved and asked, "What are you doing?"

Zhen Huan then raised her head, looked up at the emperor with tears in her eyes, and said sadly: "When I first met the emperor, I also said that it was too unreasonable and it was not appropriate to see each other too often."

"But later, the emperor discussed music and poetry with me, and I was so attracted by it that I couldn't help but keep going to the appointment again and again."

At this point, Zhen Huan had made it clear that she could not help but be attracted by the emperor's talent, and successfully made the emperor let go of most of his grudges.

Zhen Huan continued, "It's just that I have never crossed the line with the emperor who claims to be the Fourteenth Master. I hope the emperor will not regard me as a fickle person, and I will be satisfied."

"You, you!" Wang Ruofu spoke before the emperor could, pointing at Zhen Huan and cursing, "You are really a fox spirit, you smell like a bitch!"

Zhen Huan was stunned, tears streaming down her face, her emotional expression froze, unable to move up or down.

Although I have long known that the queen's words are vulgar, I really can't get used to it for a while.

She was trying hard to act with great emotion, but someone exposed her true colors and scolded her so harshly that she lost all her emotions!

But Wang Ruofu hadn't finished speaking yet, and she hit the nail on the head: "Open your eyes and take a good look. How old is the Fourteenth Master? How old is the Emperor? Their faces are wrinkled."

"You can even admit your mistake. You are fooling a fool!"

The emperor, who was originally moved by Zhen Huan, was suddenly hit by an arrow in the knee. He glared at Wang Ruofu angrily, but was glared back at.

"..."

I dare not speak out but be angry. My mother tongue is silence.

"What the Queen said is correct," the Queen Mother agreed, adding with reason, "Although the Emperor and the Fourteenth Prince are both my biological children, the two brothers have been different since birth."

"The fourteenth child was born fair and clean, like a snowball. The emperor, on the other hand, was dark and skinny. I was really shocked."

"It's really unreasonable for Wan to agree to make a mistake about this."

Emperor: I shouldn’t have come!

The Queen Mother's words were completely genuine, and she was not intentionally trying to discredit the Emperor and praise the Fourteenth Prince. She was not foolish enough to speak ill of her son to his face. She was just expressing her true feelings and being realistic.

She ignored the fact that the truth is often the most hurtful.

Zhen Huan's face looked grim, and her brain was working at full speed to find a acceptable explanation for herself.

The emperor next to him was already numb, maintaining the same sitting posture and expression without moving. If he wasn't breathing through his nose, he would have been thought to be cold.

At this moment, he had no intention to think about or speculate on what Zhen Huan was doing. All he could think about was what kind of image he had in the eyes of the Queen and the Empress Dowager.
