Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Zhen Huan

Before the assassin could say anything, he saw Xiu Xia and her guards rushing over.

Soon after, the emperor also came here with a group of people.

Faced with the emperor's absolute military oppression, the assassin knew that he would not be able to leave the palace alive this time.

Therefore, he could only place his hopes on the queen.

He lowered his voice and whispered in the Queen's ear:

"Empress, remember what you said just now. You must ensure that my family will live in prosperity and safety until old age."

"If you dare not keep your word, even if I turn into a ghost, I will come to the palace to seek revenge on you!"

At this time, the emperor was already close to her. The queen could not talk to the assassin, so she pretended to calm him down and said loudly:

"As long as you don't hurt me, I will agree to anything you ask for!"

Then the emperor was seen holding a long sword, glaring at the assassin and saying:

"You bold assassin, how dare you hold the queen hostage in the palace? Who gave you such courage?"

While the emperor was negotiating with the assassin, Concubine Hua and Zhen Huan and their group also arrived.

Zhen Huan walked up to the emperor, looked at the assassin and asked:

"I have no grudge against you, why did you first assassinate me and then hold the queen hostage?"

"Who sent you here?"

When the Queen heard Zhen Huan ask this, her heart skipped a beat.

Her face became extremely serious:

"Princess Wan, it's already this late, stop asking these useless questions, it's more important to find a way to save me first!"

But the assassin suddenly raised his head and laughed:

"Princess Wan, you are right. You have no grudge against me, but for the sake of life, I have to take risks."

As he spoke, he put one arm around the queen's neck, pointed a knife at the emperor and his men, and said:

"But in the eyes of you people, I am just an ant that you can trample on at will!"

"To make a living is not a reason for you to commit murder!" Zhen Huan looked at the assassin and said sternly:

"You know, for what you call life, a young life may be lost at any time."

"She originally had a husband who loved her and would have lovely children in the future, but because of your selfish desires, she is still lying on the bed, not knowing whether she is alive or dead!"

“Your life is life, but other people’s lives are not?”

When Zhen Huan thought about Liu Zhu who might never wake up, she felt so distressed that she could not control herself.

She pointed in the direction of Liu Zhu and questioned the assassin loudly to distract his attention.

"me……"

The assassin was touched by Zhen Huan's words, because he also had a virtuous wife and lively children at home.

Zhen Huan noticed that the assassin's expression showed signs of relaxation, so she asked hurriedly:

"Quickly release the Empress and tell the Emperor and me who ordered you to come into the palace to assassinate me?"

"The royal family is ruthless, and it is too late to regret. Right and wrong, respect and sincerity, and false plans..."

Just as everyone was looking at each other in bewilderment, the assassin suddenly raised his head and laughed twice, then slashed his neck with a knife.

The queen felt the blood splattering on her face, hair and clothes, and she stood there in a daze.

Although she had harmed many people in her life, most of them were by borrowing someone else's knife to kill them. She had never been so close to death as she was today.

She slowly turned her head and took a look at the assassin's body. When she met the assassin's eyes, which had never closed until his death, she was so frightened that she fainted.

The emperor ordered the assassin's body to be cut into pieces and thrown into a mass grave, left to be eaten by wild dogs, in order to serve as a warning to the world.

Afterwards, the queen was carried back to Jingren Palace, and the emperor and his entourage followed.

But when the assassin died, he uttered five idioms in a row, which left people puzzled.

What exactly does he want to express?

This sentence was said just after Zhen Huan asked who sent him to assassinate her. Could it be...

An idea came into Zhen Huan's mind.

She thought over and over again in her mind about the idiom the assassin had said:

"The royal family is ruthless, and it is too late to regret. Right and wrong, respect and sincerity, and false plans..."

If you look at the meaning of the word alone, you can't tell anything...

While thinking, the words of the imperial physician rang in my ears:

"Your Majesty, please rest assured that the Queen is in good health."

"The Queen was suddenly held hostage by the assassin. She was concentrating very hard and then suddenly relaxed. It was inevitable that her body could not bear it and she passed out."

"As long as your queen has a good night's rest, she will be fine when she wakes up tomorrow."

"I will also prescribe a prescription for calming the nerves for Her Majesty when I go down."

"When the queen wakes up, drink it for two days in a row, and her body will definitely recover as before."

The emperor nodded, but the dark color in his eyes still did not dissipate:

"Alright, everyone has been busy all night. The Queen has palace servants to serve her. You can all go back and rest!"

"It's Your Majesty." After paying their respects, the concubines turned around and left.

The emperor glanced at Zhen Huan, walked up to her and said softly:

"Princess Wan, you've had quite a fright today. Go back and have a good sleep first."

"I have some official business to attend to in the Yangxin Palace. I will come to see you tomorrow."

Zhen Huan nodded: "Yes, Your Majesty."

After returning to the Yangxin Palace, the emperor felt that everything that happened today was very strange.

The assassin was not a servant in the palace, so how could he bypass the layers of guards and enter the palace to assassinate?

Even if he really had such great ability, how could he know where the guards in the palace were the most lax?

And what do those idioms the assassin said before his death mean?

Given the emperor's meticulous and suspicious nature, he couldn't help but suspect that there was another deeper meaning behind this.

While the emperor was thinking, he wrote down all the idioms with a pen.

At the same time, in Chengqian Palace, Zhen Huan was doing the same thing.

"The royal family is ruthless, and it is too late to regret. Right and wrong, respect and sincerity, and false plans..."

The Queen is the mastermind!

The emperor's face changed drastically, and he threw the pen directly to the ground:

"How unreasonable! How unreasonable!"

As the emperor spoke, he slapped the table.

She is the queen, the queen of the Qing Dynasty, what else could she not be satisfied with!

If the frame-up of Concubine Wan was really done by her, I will never let her off easily!

There is absolutely no room in my harem for such a vicious woman!

At the same time, in Chengqian Palace, Zhen Huan had already guessed these words.

She thought silently in her heart:

Now that the two assassins are dead, will the Emperor convict the Queen based solely on the assassins' one-sided statements?

Even if the emperor wants to blame, I'm afraid those old men from the previous dynasty will not agree!

As soon as Zhen Huan thought this, the Emperor calmed down.

Even though he was angry, he also knew that if he wanted to depose the queen, he must have sufficient evidence.

In order to confirm his doubts, he called the chief guard in charge of the search:

"How did you do this job?"

"I asked you to lead people to search for the assassin's whereabouts, but you didn't even know that the assassin had kidnapped the queen!"

"I really don't know what's the point of keeping you!"

As he spoke, the emperor picked up the cup on the table and smashed it to the ground.
