The Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Concubine Hua: I Want to Be the Queen

After hearing what I said, the emperor did not respond to me in a hurry, but tapped the table with two fingers very regularly.

The emperor remained silent. I lowered my head and knelt before him. After a long while, I heard the emperor speak softly:

"You are right. This Fourth Prince is still my child after all. How can I allow others to bully him at will?"

Then the Emperor lifted me up and said:

"Tell me, who bullied the Fourth Prince?"

At this time, I wanted to directly say the queen's name, but when the words came to my lips, I swallowed them back.

My intuition tells me that I can’t say it now, because it seems like something even more terrifying is waiting for me if I say it!

So I lowered my head and said meekly:

"I only know that the Fourth Prince was not happy in the Old Summer Palace and was bullied by someone. As for who was responsible, I dare not jump to conclusions."

The emperor smiled at this time and said:

"In that case, I will investigate it carefully."

After I heard this, I immediately took the emperor's hand and said:

"We must investigate, but I think the most important thing right now is to comfort and take good care of the Fourth Prince!"

"So what do you think should be done?"

The emperor squinted his eyes and looked at me. I bowed slightly and said:

"Your Majesty, a look from you is sometimes a reward, and today I heard what Fourth Prince meant. I just wanted to come and pay my respects to Your Majesty. Why don't Your Majesty let Fourth Prince pay his respects?"

After the emperor heard what I said and found that I had no other requests, he smiled and said:

"This Fourth Prince is my child, so there is no problem with him coming to pay his respects!"

After the Emperor agreed to the Fourth Prince's visit, I felt relieved.

But after the emperor left me, he went to the empress dowager!

Originally, the Empress Dowager was reluctant to come to the Old Summer Palace to escape the summer heat, but due to the Emperor’s strong invitation, she came anyway!

The Emperor was in the Empress Dowager's palace, and said to her with some concern:

"Madam, I think Concubine Hua is also planning to take over!"

After hearing this, the Queen Mother frowned and said:

"Why would you think so?"

"I just discussed the matter of Huan Yi Xiang and raising children with the Empress Dowager some time ago. Today, I just happened to meet the Fourth Prince's endorsement. I think these things are just coincidences!"

When the Queen Mother heard this, she didn't take it seriously. She casually fiddled with the sandalwood in front of her, and then said to the Emperor:

"How many years have the emperor and Nian Shilan been married?"

"To answer the Empress Dowager's question, we have been married for nearly ten years!"

The Queen Mother still looked nonchalant, as if she didn't care about this issue at all!

Slowly said:

"Then the emperor should be quite familiar with Nian Shilan's temperament. Is she that kind of person?"

The emperor did not answer directly, but remained silent for a while!

The Queen Mother continued:

"If Nian Shilan wanted the Fourth Prince, she would definitely not beat around the bush according to her personality. Besides, the Fourth Prince is not a popular prince. She will not offend the emperor for an unpopular prince!"

The emperor nodded and said:

"Your Majesty is right! If Shilan wants it, she can just tell me directly. Besides, Shilan was thinking about having a child of her own some time ago. Now she doesn't even know the secret of Huan Yixiang, so all this is just my own overthinking!"
