Xia Dongchun from Legend of Zhen Huan: I want to live till the last episode

No matter how dumb Concubine Hua was, she understood at this moment. She was probably informed tonight that Zhen Huan was going to visit Shen Meiyu secretly, and this was a trap set up to plot against her!

It’s a pity that the Emperor is here now. Even if Concubine Hua understands what’s going on, she can’t directly blame Zhen Huan.

"Why are you here?" Although it was the same question, when Yinzhen asked it, his tone was full of concern for Zhen Huan, which made Concubine Hua's eyes sore.

Zhen Huan bowed and said, "I am embroidering with Concubine Jing. Concubine Jing has a very good temper and is very kind. I can get along well with Concubine Jing."

Jing Xi, who had been stopped at the side, also said to Zhen Huan: "It turns out that the young lady is with Concubine Jing. It's easy for us to find her."

"Okay, I'm relieved that this matter does not involve you." Yinzhen stretched out his hand, and Zhen Huan put her hand in Yinzhen's, as if no one could squeeze between the two of them.

Hua Fei’s eyes almost popped out, but it was of no use.

"You said you wanted to search Cunju Hall, but have you got the Queen's handwritten order?" Yinzhen looked at Concubine Hua again. He had been very dissatisfied with Concubine Hua recently. First, she frightened Xia Dongchun's fetus at the Peony Terrace in the Old Summer Palace, causing her to have a premature birth. Then, she snatched Wen Yi to the Yiku Palace and fed Wen Yi sedatives. Not long after that, this incident happened again.

Concubine Hua said with a guilty conscience: "I...I was in a hurry to arrest him and didn't have time to ask for the Queen's handwritten order."

"So that's it?" Yinzhen's face turned cold. "Why are you acting so rashly now? It's totally inappropriate."

Hua Fei felt very aggrieved after hearing what Yinzhen said.

Jingpin cleared her throat and suggested to Yinzhen in a gentle tone, "Your Majesty, although Ms. Shen is under house arrest now, she cannot be wrongly accused, right? Why not send someone to search the place? This will not only reassure Madam Hua, but also clear Ms. Shen's name and prevent her from being wronged again."

This can be considered as giving face to Zhen Huan and going with the flow. After all, Concubine Hua has been torturing her for so long, and now is the chance to see Concubine Hua get into trouble, so Jingpin is also happy about it.

Everyone looked at Yinzhen. Whether to search or not was just a matter of his words.

Fortunately, Yinzhen accepted Jingpin's suggestion: "Su Peisheng, take someone in to take a look. Jingpin's words make sense. Although Shen is under house arrest, we cannot let anyone wrongly accuse her. That would make me seem unkind."

"Yes." Su Peisheng led his men in.

After a while, Su Peisheng led his men out and said, "In reply to the emperor, there is no one else inside except Shen Yingda and her two close maids."

"How could it be..." Although she had guessed that it might be a trap set by Zhen Huan, when Concubine Hua actually heard Su Peisheng say that there was no one else inside, she still subconsciously took a step back, and the next moment she immediately went to see Yinzhen's reaction.

She doesn't care about others, as long as the emperor believes in her...

But Yinzhen disappointed her: "After the search, are you at ease? You are always worried!"

Hua Fei immediately apologized: "Your Majesty, please calm down. I...I just misunderstood the rumors spread by the villains, which is why I acted like this."

"I had planned to restore your power to assist in managing the six palaces in the next two days, but I didn't expect that you would not restrain yourself at all. It seems that it is not necessary!" Yinzhen frowned, "Don't go to see Wen Yi in the future, lest you teach my daughter bad things!"

This sentence was the most serious one, and Concubine Hua almost lost her balance. Fortunately, Songzhi behind her supported her in time.

Yinzhen was about to leave when Jingpin saw the opportunity and spoke: "Your Majesty, now that we have investigated the matter, I think it would be better to withdraw half of the guards. First, Shen promised to repent sincerely during the period of house arrest, so there is really no need to waste the palace guards. Second, there are many concubines in the palace, and it would be really scary to have so many guards here."

Yinzhen waved his hand and said, "Then let's do as you say."

Then he left after saying that.

Zhen Huan, Jingpin and others saluted together: "Farewell, Your Majesty."

After Yinzhen left, Concubine Hua stood up and looked at Zhen Huan: "How dare you plot against me?!"

"What is your Majesty saying? Why can't I understand?" Zhen Huan pretended to be dumb.

Concubine Hua took two steps closer and met Zhen Huan's gaze: "You schemed against me today. I will remember this. I will never tolerate someone as scheming as you under my throne!"

Zhen Huan raised her chin slightly, with a smile in her eyes: "Whether you can tolerate me depends on your majesty's temperament, and whether you can let your majesty tolerate me depends on my ability."

"Okay!" Concubine Hua took two steps back and pointed, "I'll take note of today's account!"

After saying that, Concubine Hua turned around and left with a group of people.

……

As soon as Concubine Hua returned to Yiku Palace, regardless of the fact that it was already late at night, she immediately asked Zhou Ninghai to go to Qixiang Palace to call Concubine Cao.

When Concubine Cao arrived, she was startled by the teacup thrown by Concubine Hua, and she quickly apologized, "Your Majesty, please calm down. It's not worth getting sick from anger."

"Calm down?" Concubine Hua's voice was so cold that ice chips almost fell out of it. "Today, I was actually tricked by that bitch Zhen Huan! Not only did I anger the emperor, but my power to assist in managing the six palaces is no longer in sight!"

After a pause, Concubine Hua looked at Concubine Cao suspiciously and said, "You too are usually the most cautious person. Why did you rush to inform me as soon as you got the news?"

When Concubine Cao heard this, she knew that Concubine Hua was going to suspect her, so she immediately knelt down and apologized: "Your Majesty, I was also determined to get rid of Concubine Wan, this big threat to you, so I hurried to tell you when I got the news, so as not to miss the opportunity. I am loyal to you."

Hua Fei thought so too. She believed that Cao Qinmo would not dare to betray her. "Get up. I believe you would not dare."

Only then did Concubine Cao feel relieved.

On the second day, all the concubines gathered in Jingren Palace to enjoy the flowers. To be honest, there are not as many flowers in autumn as in spring, but the servants in the flower room took good care of them and many beautiful flowers bloomed. Plus, since the Queen had spoken, everyone just treated it as a way to kill time.

What made Noble Lady Fucha most proud these past two days was that Yinzhen rewarded her with rare spices and the palace maid Bai Yu assigned to her by the Queen.

During this flower viewing session, everyone else was gathered together chatting, while she sat aside and Bai Yu helped her apply perfume and powder.

Jingpin, Xinchangzai, and Zhen Huan came over and saw Concubine Fucha raising her eyes: "Oh, isn't this Concubine Wan?"

Zhen Huan didn't want to talk to her any more, so she just praised: "Sister, this perfume powder is a new gift from the emperor, right? It smells really refreshing."

Noble Lady Fucha said proudly, "That's right. The quality of the things is secondary. The most important thing is the emperor's feelings and Bai Yu. However, not everyone can afford a maid like Bai Yu who was trained by the Empress. Don't you think so, Noble Lady Wan?"

Xin Changzai couldn't stand this kind of villain's success. She sneered when she heard this, pulled Jingpin and Zhen Huan, and laughed loudly, "Oh, then Noble Lady Fucha, you have to keep this perfume powder. Don't apply it on your face every day, otherwise the emperor's kindness will melt in the sun."

After saying that, he still felt it was not irritating enough, so he glanced at Bai Yu and continued to say to Noble Lady Fucha: "Besides, not everyone has the blessing of being able to use the maids from the Empress's palace. After all, we and the people who serve us are all honest and dutiful. No one is like you, Noble Lady Fucha, whose two capable maids have successively entered the Ministry of Punishment."
