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

After returning to the palace, Xia Dongchun never heard any news about Zhen Huan and Prince Guo again.

On that day, only she and Concubine Jing followed Yinzhen to Qingliangtai, so Concubine Jing couldn't help it and came to Yanx Palace that day.

"Sister, I know you are a straightforward person, so I won't be polite with you." Concubine Jing went straight to the point, "Since that day, there has been no news from the emperor. I don't know what happened to Concubine Wan and Prince Guo. If there was really no news, I wouldn't have come to bother you, but you also know that Longyue is raised by my side after all, and I am always worried..."

This makes sense. After all, Zhen Huan is Longyue's biological mother. Even if it is confirmed that Longyue is the emperor's biological daughter, there is no guarantee that the emperor will not vent his anger on Longyue because of the incident between Zhen Huan and Prince Guo.

Although she is protected by Concubine Jing, without the favor of the Emperor, Longyue's future will be worse. It is no wonder that Concubine Jing is worried.

Although they were both imperial concubines, Xia Dongchun held the real power. Imperial Concubine Jing was worried that Yinzhen would secretly instruct Xia Dongchun on this matter, so she came to the Yanx Palace to ask about it.

After all, this is a royal secret and it is not easy to spread it out, so as not to lose face for the royal family.

But Xia Dongchun really didn't know more about this matter, but it seemed that Yinzhen would not let Zhen Huan and Prince Guo go.

Seeing that Xia Dongchun really didn't seem to know the inside story, Concubine Jing had no choice but to give up and said goodbye and prepared to leave.

"Sister, you have served the emperor for a long time. I think you know our emperor's character better than I do. We probably have an idea of ​​how he will deal with those two people."

Seeing that she was about to leave, Xia Dongchun thought about it and finally spoke up, saying, "I am also your mother, so I naturally know your worries. So I have to remind you that no matter how worried you are, you must not mention this matter in front of the emperor, otherwise the emperor will really vent his anger on Longyue."

"Thank you for your reminder, sister. I know what's going on." Concubine Jing sighed again. She was really helpless. She couldn't help at all with such a thing. Moreover, this matter might implicate Longyue. If that really came to that, she wouldn't be able to protect Longyue, let alone help Zhen Huan.

This time I came to ask Xia Dongchun just to seek peace of mind.

However, before coming here, Concubine Jing had already roughly expected that there would be no news about Xia Dongchun, so she was not so disappointed when she did not get any results.

Perhaps because of the Qingliangtai incident, Yinzhen did not summon Xia Dongchun for a long time after returning to the palace. Occasionally, when he wanted to see the two children, he would ask someone to bring them to the Yangxin Palace, teach them a few words, and then send someone to send Lingyuan and Hongyi back to Xia Dongchun's palace.

It is normal not to go to Concubine Jing's palace. After all, Concubine Jing had fallen out of favor long ago and was not summoned by Yinzhen.

But Yinzhen had not visited Xia Dongchun for such a long time, and rumors inevitably spread in the palace, with people speculating whether Xia Dongchun had lost the emperor's heart.

But Xia Dongchun still managed the affairs of the six palaces, and as time passed, Yinzhen had no intention of taking back the power from Xia Dongchun.

Concubine Jing's "assisting Xia Dongchun in managing the affairs of the six palaces" was just assistance. Although Xia Dongchun did not have the title of Imperial Concubine, she was already a queen.

At first, Xia Dongchun was a little uncomfortable with it, but after a while, he felt that this kind of life was quite comfortable.

She was wealthy and prosperous, had two children, and compared to her previous life, she had almost no regrets.

It was spring again. Yinzhen looked at the green nameplate sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. He ran his finger over the names of several people, and finally, after a slight pause, he landed on Xia Dongchun's name.

"I haven't been to accompany Concubine Zhao for a long time. Let me go and see her today." Yinzhen said.

"Then shall I ask Xiao Xiazi to go to the Yanxi Palace and tell the Imperial Concubine first?" Su Peisheng asked, bowing.

After the incident at Qingliang Terrace, he thought that the people accompanying Zhen Huan would definitely have no chance of survival.

Unexpectedly, on New Year's Eve, he returned to his residence in Beijing and saw the person he thought he would never see again in his life. After asking carefully, he found out that it was Concubine Zhao who had found a way to replace the original and saved Cui Jinxi's life.

Su Peisheng knew that Xia Dongchun and Zhen Huan did not have a close personal relationship, so there was no need for him to protect the people around her. After thinking about it, Su Peisheng realized that this was a deal and decided to return the favor.

Although he couldn't do other things, it was no problem for him to leak some information to the Yanxi Palace.

"Yes." Yinzhen had no objection. He put down the memorial in his hand, pinched his brows, and then asked, "Have you found the magicians I asked you to find?"

"Your Majesty, we have already settled down in the capital, waiting for your summons at any time," Su Peisheng replied.

"That's good." Yinzhen always felt that he was not as energetic as before. Perhaps it was because when a person reached this stage, he always wanted to live a long life. He heard that there were talented people among the people who could refine elixirs, so he ordered Su Peisheng to find them.

"Your Majesty hasn't been to the Yanx Palace for dinner for a long time. This time, the Imperial Concubine will definitely be very happy." Seeing that Yinzhen seemed to be in a good mood, Su Peisheng said tentatively.

Yinzhen picked up another memorial and said nothing more.

Su Peisheng was also very tactful and didn't dare to speak again.

In the evening, Yinzhen brought his men to the Yanx Palace.

"The Emperor has arrived--" Su Peisheng spoke in a drawn-out voice.

Xia Dongchun had heard Xiao Xiazi come to report earlier, so when she heard the announcement, she took people out to greet him: "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. May your Majesty be blessed with good health."

"Get up." Yinzhen raised his hand and stepped into the house first.

Yunling helped Xia Dongchun up and went into the house.

Perhaps because she had experienced a lot, Xia Dongchun no longer had the same mood when facing Yinzhen as when she first entered the palace. Even though Yinzhen was a little cold this time, she didn't feel anything in her heart.

But after they sat down, it was Yinzhen who spoke first: "Lingyuan and Hongyi are becoming more and more sensible. This is also your credit. You have taught the two children very well."

Xia Dongchun stood up, knelt down and saluted, saying respectfully: "I am just a woman in the deep palace. Your Majesty, thank you for your praise."

Yinzhen asked her to stand up, and then said, "How can you praise me so much? Although Hongyi is young, he is the prince who looks most like me. I like him the most. Lingyuan is also very sensible and smart. She is worthy of being my daughter."

Although his tone was not friendly, his words clearly showed his satisfaction with Xia Dongchun and her two children. For a moment, Xia Dongchun could not figure out what Yinzhen meant.

"I came here today, firstly because I haven't been with you for a long time, and secondly..." After a pause, Yinzhen said, "From tomorrow on, Hongyi will go to the prince's residence."

Xia Dongchun looked up suddenly.

As if he could see Xia Dongchun's confusion and surprise, Yinzhen chuckled and said, "The princes have to move to the prince residence when they are six years old. I know that you and Hongyi have a deep relationship, so I have never mentioned this matter in the past two years. But seeing that Hongyi will be nine years old after the New Year, it really can't be delayed any longer."

Although Xia Dongchun thought she was not smart, she had been in the palace for so many years and was not without brains. After listening to Yinzhen's words, she had a bold guess in her heart. But even if she had a guess, she didn't dare to say anything. She could only bow her head and said, "Hongyi is the emperor's son, the prince of the Qing Dynasty. Naturally, he can't always be with me. It's all my womanly kindness that makes the emperor worry about it. It's really my fault."
