The Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Ling Rong

Ever since my sister gave birth to the little prince, everyone in the harem came to congratulate her. For a while, there was a constant stream of people coming to Sui Yuxuan, and the place was bustling with activity.

Most of them are flattering words. Everyone knows it in their hearts, but they just have to pretend to be okay with it.

If we were to say who is the happiest person in Shuiyuxuan, it would be Chun'er. Ever since her sister gave birth to the little prince, Chun'er would run over there several times a day.

Sometimes he hugged the child, sometimes he touched the little face, which made everyone happy.

I felt very tired these days and spent most of my time sleeping, so I rarely went to see my sister.

My sister is being taken care of by Jinxi and the others. Although my aunt has left the palace, Huanbi and Liuzhu are still there, and my sister Mei also often comes to help.

Now I can't help much, so it's better for me to stay in the house by myself.

The Queen has been claiming to be ill recently, and I don't know what she is thinking.

The days passed one by one, and the due date drew closer. I was worried and happy at the same time, and I didn't know whether my child would be a boy or a girl.

In my previous life, I relied on the queen and never had a son or daughter. But now, I can finally have a child of my own.

The Empress sent people to investigate secretly and found out everything about the Zhen family. She also secretly spread the news to Zhang Tingyu and ordered Fu Cha Guiren's father to keep an eye on the matter in the front court and report Zhen Yuandao when the time was right.

"Your Majesty, everything is ready now. We are just waiting for the day of Concubine Wan's enthronement ceremony. My father will then report Concubine Wan's father Zhen Yuandao to the Emperor." Noble Lady Fucha was in the Queen's Kunning Palace at this time.

"Noble Lady Fucha, you have done a great job. I was just thinking that I didn't have anyone capable to do this, so luckily you are here. Your father was loyal to the emperor in the previous dynasty, and you are devoted to me in the harem. I know what you mean." The queen looked at Noble Lady Fucha with satisfaction and said with a smile.

"It is because of the Empress's trust that I have this opportunity to serve you. Don't worry, I will definitely satisfy you with this matter." Noble Lady Fucha said proudly.

Ever since the Empress had won over Noble Lady Fucha, she had been working wholeheartedly for the Empress. Similarly, Consort Kang and Concubine Zhen were also favored by the Empress, who also instructed their fathers and brothers who were officials in the court.

"Concubine Wan, Concubine Wan, this time, let me see what you will do. I'm afraid that the glory of the favorite concubine and the prosperity and decline of the Zhen family will be lost." The queen said to herself, looking in a good mood.

On the day of the seventh prince's full moon, the emperor came to Suiyuxuan early in the morning, and everyone was very happy.

Just as the enthronement ceremony was about to begin, Su Peisheng came running to the emperor with an anxious look on his face and told him, "Your Majesty, something has happened! Master Zhang Tingyu and several others are waiting in the Yangxin Palace. They say they have an urgent matter and need to see Your Majesty."

"But what is it about?" asked the emperor.

"Lord Zhang Tingyu didn't say that," Su Peisheng answered honestly.

"Then I'll go and take a look first and come back soon. Wanwan, when I come back, I'll accompany you to the Queen's Palace to listen to her teachings." The emperor comforted her patiently at this time.

"Yes, I'll be waiting here. Your Majesty, just go about your business!" Concubine Wan replied gently.

Afterwards, the emperor hurried over with Su Peisheng.

"Tell me, what's the important matter? Why do you have to come to see me now?" The emperor looked down at several ministers headed by Zhang Tingyu.

"Your Majesty, I would like to report that the Junior Minister of the Dali Temple, Zhen Yuandao, secretly took the daughter of a criminal minister. He knowingly broke the law. I beg your Majesty to make your decision."

Zhang Tingyu took out a memorial and presented it to the emperor. Su Peisheng glanced at the emperor and only after getting the emperor's consent did he take the memorial and present it to the emperor.

The emperor opened it, took a look, and slammed his hand on the table.

"How dare you, Zhang Tingyu! Is what you said here true? Is there any evidence?" The emperor stared at the people below.

Several people were so frightened that they knelt down immediately and nodded repeatedly, not daring to deceive the emperor.

"Su Peisheng, go and tell Zhen Yuandao to come. I want to ask him in person. Also, tell the Queen to put the consecration ceremony for Concubine Wan on hold for now and discuss it later. Let her stay in Suiyuxuan for the time being and don't come out." The Emperor immediately ordered Su Peisheng.

"Yes, I will go and call Lord Zhen right away!" Su Peisheng hurried out to convey the order.

"Xiao Xia Zi, go to Sui Yuxuan and convey the imperial edict. Put the conferring ceremony of Concubine Wan on hold for the time being. Don't leave Sui Yuxuan in the next few days. Then go and inform the Queen. Don't reveal anything else." Su Peisheng called Xiao Xia Zi.

"Master, I'll go right away." Xiao Xia Zi was about to go, but was stopped by Su Peisheng.

"Tell Jinxi quietly that something happened in the Zhen Mansion. It seems that it was because Lord Zhen wanted to marry the daughter of a guilty minister. Please ask Empress Wanfei to find a solution. You should be careful." Su Peisheng did not forget to instruct Xiao Xiazi.

Xiao Xiazi hurried to Suiyuxuan.

"The Emperor has decreed that the enthronement ceremony of Concubine Wan is temporarily put on hold. Your Majesty should not go out for the next few days." Xiao Xiazi came to Suiyuxuan to convey the decree.

Everyone was stunned after hearing this. Are they going to put them under house arrest?

Because of the long-term friendship between Jinxi and Su Peisheng, Xiao Xiazi was also very polite to Jinxi.

Since Xiao Xiazi didn't bring any guards with her, Jinxi went forward and quietly inquired about the situation.

Xiao Xiazi didn't hide anything and told Jinxi the truth: "Aunt Jinxi, Master has already told me. Something has happened in the Zhen Mansion. It seems that it is because Master Zhen secretly took in the daughter of a guilty minister. Someone has reported it. Aunt, please find a solution quickly."

Jin Xi was also stunned after hearing this, but she quickly reacted.

"Thank you, father-in-law, for telling me. Please thank your master for me when you go back." Jin Xi said to Xiao Xia Zi gratefully.

"Aunt, you are too polite. I still have to go to the Queen's place. The guards at the gate should be here soon. Please make your plans early."

Jinxi hurried to tell Concubine Wan the general situation. When Concubine Wan heard it, she was immediately frightened.

But now is not the time to be sad, so she immediately made a decision and asked Jinxi to find Doctor Wen to find a solution.

Everyone was busy with their own things.

"Your humble servant Zhen Yuandao pays his respects to the emperor. Long live the emperor!" Zhen Yuandao bowed and paid his respects to the emperor.

"The emperor has already dismissed everyone. Lord Zhen, I have received a memorial. How about you help me take a look at it?" The emperor looked at Zhen Yuandao and spoke lightly.

"I dare not!" Zhen Yuandao knelt down in fear.

The emperor threw the memorial next to Zhen Yuandao and said in a cold tone: "Open it and see if it is true!"

Zhen Yuandao opened the memorial with trepidation. Every word made him feel like he was facing a formidable enemy.

Zhen Yuandao was an official with a clean record throughout his life, except for this one matter, where he might have been really wrong.

Now that the emperor knows about it, he also knows that he can no longer hide it.

"Your Majesty, I am guilty. Please punish me!" Zhen Yuandao kowtowed to the emperor.

"So, you admit these things?" the emperor asked again.

"Your Majesty, I have been an honest official all my life. I have never been corrupt or abused my power. I have done justice to everyone, but in this life I am only sorry to Mianmian and Huanbi. Your Majesty, I dare not make any excuses. I only ask Your Majesty not to vent your anger on my wife and daughter. This matter is all my fault." Zhen Yuandao had already thought about the consequences at this time.

"I will investigate this matter thoroughly. You go back first and stay in the mansion. You are not allowed to go out. Wait for my summons at any time." The emperor gave the order.
