Yixiu is reborn, fights against her elder sister, and becomes the queen mother

Zhen Huan had no children and was not a high-ranking concubine. She probably would not stay in the harem to spend her remaining years in peace. She would most likely go to Ganlu Temple to practice asceticism and pray for the Qing Dynasty, just like Prince Guo's biological mother.

What would be even more terrifying is that the emperor left a will, ordering Zhen Huan to be buried with him.

Whether it is the Crown Prince or the Fourth Prince who ascends the throne, they will definitely obey the Emperor's order.

First of all, they have nothing to do with Zhen Huan, and this matter will not harm their interests.

Secondly, when a new emperor ascends the throne, he always wants a good reputation to demonstrate his benevolence and filial piety.

Zhen Huan lowered her eyes, trying her best to hide the feeling of loss in her heart.

"Since I have entered the palace and become the emperor's concubine, from now on I will no longer be able to make my own decisions for the rest of my life."

Prince Guo shook his head, stepped forward bravely, and grabbed Zhen Huan's hand. Zhen Huan was frightened by him and tried to push him away in a hurry.

"Prince Guo, you...what you are doing is totally against the rules!"

Prince Guo hugged Zhen Huan into his arms. The situation was now very urgent. He had no idea what would happen tomorrow. All he could do now was to hold the person in front of him tightly.

"Huan'er, listen to me, listen to me. I've been in love with you for a long time. I'm not the prince, and you're not Concubine Wan. The emperor has no true feelings for you at all, so why are you trapping yourself here?"

After all, this incident happened too suddenly, and Zhen Huan really couldn't get over the hurdle in her heart.

Zhen Huan mustered up her courage. Although she had developed some different feelings for Prince Guo at this moment, she really couldn't do that.

Zhen Huan pushed Prince Guo away and said in a cold and indifferent manner, "Prince Guo, do you know that if I report today's incident to the Emperor or the Empress, both of us will be sentenced to death."

Prince Guo felt hurt. He reached out to Zhen Huan again, "Huan'er, I don't believe you're completely indifferent to me. That time when you and I were in Ganlu Temple, we were both the same. We didn't care about power and wealth at all. We just wanted to find someone who was devoted and confidant."

Zhen Huan was also in tears at this moment. If she was not a concubine in the harem, but just a girl from the Zhen family, she would definitely agree to Prince Guo's courtship.

It is a serious crime for a concubine to have an affair with a prince, and the relationship between them is destined to be hidden from the public.

Zhen Huan wiped away her tears, and with a questioning look at Prince Guo, she said coldly:

"Who does Your Highness take me for? Does Your Highness think I'm a shameless, immoral woman? Your Highness keeps saying he likes me, but you know there's an insurmountable gap between our identities. Your Highness says he wants me to be with you, so tell me what we should do next?"

Prince Guo quickly raised his hand and assured, "Huan'er, I truly love you and have absolutely no intention of disrespecting you. The reason I acted this way today is simply because of the situation. The court is in a precarious position. While I can rely on my status as Prince Guo to enter the palace today, it's hard to say whether I'll be able to do so tomorrow."

But don't worry, if you promise me, I will never let you down. I will find a way to change your identity and marry you as my legal wife. You are the only woman I will ever have in my life, and I will never take another woman.

Zhen Huan didn't expect that Prince Guo would go to such lengths for her. After all, no man, even her biological father, would seem to be in loving relationship with her mother, but secretly had a child with his mistress, Huanbi.

Seeing Zhen Huan's disbelief, Prince Guo took out one of his jade pendants and said, "This jade pendant is a treasure to me. It can mobilize all my manpower in the palace. I know that today's incident is too sudden for you. I will give you some time to think about it. When you have thought it through, please give this jade pendant to Eunuch Ma of the Imperial Household Department."

Prince Guo was worried that Zhen Huan would feel burdened, so he comforted her, "Anything between a man and a woman should be based on mutual consent. I won't force you. Even if you don't like me and don't want to be with me, if you encounter any trouble in the future, you can take this jade pendant to him and I will definitely help you."

At this moment, A Jin outside the door was pacing back and forth anxiously.

Is the prince okay? If the prince, a foreign minister, suddenly ran to Suiyuxuan at this time, he would be finished if he was caught.

Ah Jin gritted his teeth, walked forward and knocked on the door, saying, "Your Highness, it's getting late, we should go out."

This time, Prince Guo sneaked into the palace during the chaos. It would be best if he could sneak out before the chaos was over so that no one would notice.

Prince Guo reluctantly bowed to Zhen Huan and said, "Huan'er, my love for you will never change."

After saying that, Prince Guo opened the door and followed A Jin back.

Prince Guo's words had already caused ripples in Zhen Huan's heart. She was very confused at the moment, not knowing whether she should agree to Prince Guo or continue to be a concubine in this palace.

In this life, Zhen Huan has no love for the emperor. Now that Shen Meizhuang has left the palace, there is nothing left in the harem that she is nostalgic for.

Gyeongin Palace

"I pay my respects to the Empress, may the Empress be blessed with good health. All of the Emperor's men have been executed. I wonder what we should do next?"

Xiudong changed her clothes and washed up before going to see Yixiu.

Yixiu nodded seriously and said in a deep voice, "Thank you for your hard work today. Please have someone guard the emperor's place well. Don't let any news from him leak out."

Xiudong replied, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty. The Yangxin Palace is now being guarded by our people like an iron barrel. No news can get out at all."

After saying this, Xiudong paused and said jokingly, "But I discovered something very interesting. Today, Prince Guo took advantage of the chaos and sneaked into the palace.

But Prince Guo didn't think about it. With such a big thing happening, he definitely couldn't enter or leave the palace.

"I thought Prince Guo was entering the palace only for Concubine Wan, so I deliberately let him in and even had someone secretly protect him so that he wouldn't be discovered by the Emperor's men."

Yixiu covered her lips with her handkerchief and smiled, "You did very well. Shen Meizhuang ran off with Doctor Wen, and I'm afraid Zhen Huan will soon follow Prince Guo as well.

If the Emperor knew about these things, I can’t even imagine how angry he would be. Just thinking about it makes me feel better.”
