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

Ling Yuan ran to the couch with her short legs, and Prince Guo touched her little face. Sure enough, even in such a cold day, Ling Yuan's face was still warm.

"Hello, Uncle Seventeen." The little girl bowed, then turned her head and hid in Yinzhen's arms, looking up, "Father Emperor, your daughter greets Uncle Seventeen."

Yinzhen was in a good mood and patted her head: "You are worthy of being my daughter."

After twisting twice in Yinzhen's arms, Ling Yuan ran away again. At her age, she was exploring everywhere and was curious about everything.

Although Prince Guo was talking to Yinzhen, his eyes were always on Ling Yuan. Seeing Ling Yuan about to run behind the screen, he was so startled that he immediately shouted, "Princess!"

Ling Yuan looked back in confusion.

Yinzhen also frowned slightly: "Old Seventeen, what's wrong?"

Prince Guo had a trace of cold sweat on his forehead: "No, nothing, I'm just worried that the princess is young and might get hurt if she knocks over the screen."

Yinzhen thought for a moment and said, "That's true. It's okay. Just ask the wet nurse to keep an eye on her."

It was reasonable for Prince Guo to stop her, but he stood up and said, "No matter how careful the nurse is, if something unexpected happens, she won't be able to react in a short time."

Now, even Xia Dongchun, who was not very careful, noticed something was wrong.

However, she didn't think about anything else, but she couldn't help complaining in her heart: I don't know how precious this screen is. Prince Guo is too stingy, as if he was afraid that Ling Yuan would break the screen.

Concubine Jing has always been very meticulous. When she saw Prince Guo's reaction, she felt that something was wrong, as if there was someone hiding behind the screen who was afraid of being discovered.

But if there really is someone here, no matter if he or she is a man or a woman, or what their relationship with Prince Guo is, they should pay their respects to the emperor. Why hide?

Thinking of this, Concubine Jing was almost amused by her own wild thoughts.

Why did you associate it with Tibetans? If you tell others about it, they will laugh at you.

But Concubine Jing didn't expect that when the adults weren't paying attention, Ling Yuan poked her head behind the screen and said, "Empress Wan!"

Everyone in the room looked over.

Although Concubine Jing and Xia Dongchun were not particularly close, she still loved the child very much. Seeing this, she was worried that Yinzhen would vent his anger on Ling Yuan because he didn't want to hear this name, so she hurried to smooth things over.

"Hey Lingyuan, what are you yelling for? Come here quickly, your mother is waiting for you."

As she spoke, Concubine Jing gestured to Xia Dongchun.

Xia Dongchun felt something was wrong. She had previously discovered Prince Guo's affection for Zhen Huan. And this place was near Ganlu Temple. Could Zhen Huan really be here?

Thinking of this, Xia Dongchun hurriedly called Ling Yuan back, not wanting to have anything to do with this matter: "Ling Yuan, come here quickly, you little kid, what do you know?"

Ling Yuan pouted and pointed behind the screen: "It really is Empress Wan!"

Ling Yuan already had her memory, and since Zhen Huan had been away from the palace for less than a year, she still remembered Zhen Huan.

At this moment, Zhen Huan behind the screen almost stopped breathing.

Her appearance here, even with ten thousand mouths, couldn't explain it clearly.

She herself was not afraid of death, but she was worried about bringing harm to the people around her and her family far away in Ningguta.

Yinzhen's face turned pale at this moment, and he stared at the screen, as if he wanted to see through the screen and see clearly the person hiding behind it.

Ling Yuan realized later that the atmosphere was wrong, and hurried back to Xia Dongchun and threw herself into her arms.

"Royal brother..." Prince Guo propped himself up.

"Who is behind the screen? Come out!" Yinzhen ignored Prince Guo and looked at the screen with a frown.

Everyone present breathed softly, not daring to imagine what Yinzhen's reaction would be if, as Ling Yuan said, the person behind the screen was Zhen Huan, who had already left the palace.

But looking at the current situation, it will not be a good reaction after all.

Zhen Huan could no longer stay behind the screen. She had not yet fully recovered from her illness and her face was pale. No one knew whether it was because of illness or fear.

Although everyone was mentally prepared, they were still shocked when they saw Zhen Huan walk out from behind the screen.

"I...I'm Nimochou. I pay my respects to the Emperor, the two ladies, and the princess." Zhen Huan felt upset and couldn't help looking towards Longyue.

"Why are you here?" At this point, Yinzhen's face was expressionless and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.

"Royal brother——" Prince Guo knelt down and wanted to apologize.

But Yinzhen glanced away and forced him to shut up.

Xia Dongchun looked at this absurd scene. After being shocked at first, he calmed down.

In fact, Xia Dongchun accepted this matter well. After all, she knew before that Prince Guo had feelings for Zhen Huan. Now Zhen Huan was an abandoned concubine and the Ganlu Temple where she was located was not too far from Qingliang Terrace. It was reasonable for Prince Guo to take this opportunity to express his feelings.

——There were plots like this in the storybooks she read.

If it weren't for the current situation, Xia Dongchun would have hoped that Zhen Huan would stay outside the palace with Prince Guo for the rest of her life and never think about returning to the palace. This way, basically no one could shake her position.

But she never expected that such a scene would appear before them in this way.

Yinzhen is the emperor. Even though Zhen Huan was already a deposed concubine, how could he tolerate his former woman being involved with Prince Guo?

"How outrageous!" Long Yan was furious.

Xia Dongchun and Concubine Jing also knelt down with their people: "Your Majesty, please calm down."

Yinzhen was angry, but he would not really order anyone to do anything to Zhen Huan and Prince Guo at the moment. After all, in Yinzhen's view, this was a royal scandal and it was impossible for it to become too big and bring shame to the royal family.

Xia Dongchun had served Yinzhen for such a long time, so she guessed what he meant, and said carefully, "Your Majesty, the nuns in Ganlu Temple are too vicious. On such a snowy day, Mochou came out to collect firewood. If it weren't for the prince's kindness to let Mochou hide from the snow in Qingliang Terrace, I'm afraid she would have killed someone."

After saying this, seeing that Yinzhen had no reaction, she dared to raise her voice and order the palace maids, eunuchs, and wet nurses present: "No one is allowed to talk nonsense about what happened today, otherwise the emperor and I will not let you off easily!"

"Yes." Everyone answered.

Yinzhen glanced coldly at Zhen Huan and Prince Guo. He already had a plan in mind, but now he followed the opportunity offered by Xia Dongchun to maintain the reputation of the royal family first.

When I get back, I don’t know how to deal with Prince Guo and Zhen Huan.

Xia Dongchun stood up and followed Yinzhen out. Concubine Jing lagged behind and glanced at Zhen Huan, feeling somewhat helpless. Even if she wanted to plead for mercy in this matter, how could she change what the emperor had decided?
