The Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Ling Rong

After leaving the Yangxin Palace, Prince Guo and Zhang Tingyu walked side by side, talking in low voices as they walked. Both of them understood the importance and urgency of this mission, so they did not delay at all.

"Your Highness, how should we proceed with this matter now?" Zhang Tingyu said in a serious tone.

Prince Guo thought about it for a while. He knew that the Dali Temple, as the court's supervisory and management agency, was naturally very important.

"Since Lord Zhang has reviewed the files from the Dali Temple, please investigate any suspicious points. I will privately investigate the witnesses involved in the case so that I can fulfill my brother's request as soon as possible.

Zhang Tingyu pondered for a moment and said, "Your Highness is right. I'll trouble you then. I'll ask the officials who tried the case back then. Perhaps I can find some clues from them."

Prince Guo nodded in agreement and said, "Good idea! This way, we can conduct a comprehensive investigation.

"Your Highness is absolutely right." Zhang Tingyu bowed.

"Then, without further delay, Master Zhang, let's split up and act immediately."

Zhang Tingyu nodded slightly, then turned and left with firm and quick steps.

The two of them each performed their duties and began an intense and busy investigation. They did not miss any details and worked tirelessly between various agencies in an attempt to uncover the truth behind this mystery.

"Sister, have you heard? The emperor sent Prince Guo and Lord Zhang Tingyu to investigate the treason case today." After hearing the news, I hurried to tell my sister.

"Lingrong, are you telling the truth? Is this news accurate?" My sister was a little unconvinced.

"There's no way it can be wrong. I asked Baojuan to secretly inquire about it, and Eunuch Su said it in private." I said with great certainty.

"I heard that Prince Guo is an upright person, well-versed in poetry and literature, and kind-hearted. If he were to investigate this matter, the Zhen family would probably be saved this time." My sister immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sister, you're right. I've also heard about Prince Guo. He's a charming and suave man, with the best talent, appearance, and temperament. What's even more rare is his noble character. Now, sister, you can rest assured."

"I hope the prince can find out the truth as soon as possible and clear your mother's family's name. Then you will be my legitimate sister and the second lady of the Zhen family." The elder sister looked at Huanbi and said with great satisfaction.

"Thank you, my lady. I will always remember how kind you have been to me." Huanbi was also very touched.

In the imperial study, Xia Qie was reporting to the emperor that Prince Guo was in danger.

"Your Majesty, I have already found some clues about Prince Guo's distress."

Xia Qia said respectfully, "Your Majesty, I understand that some officials in the court are quite dissatisfied with your sending Prince Guo to Yunnan and Tibet to investigate the Junggar's movements. They are worried that this move will trigger a war and affect their own interests, so they decided to take action against Prince Guo in an attempt to stop him."

"These people secretly tampered with the boat the prince was on. The boat immediately disintegrated as soon as it touched water. Fortunately, Prince Guo was lucky enough to escape the disaster."

The emperor frowned and said in a deep voice, "Damn it! How dare someone do this right under my nose! I will never tolerate such a thing again."

"I have another important matter to report to the emperor." Xia Qi continued.

The emperor asked doubtfully, "What else?"

Xia Qie lowered his voice and said, "According to my investigation, not only are some officials dissatisfied with Prince Guo's actions and attempting to stop them privately, but some officials are also secretly colluding with Junggar spies and using court intelligence for personal gain."

The emperor was furious upon hearing this and immediately slammed the table and stood up, "How can this be! How dare these people be so arrogant? They betrayed their country and sold out their compatriots. They are simply committing heinous crimes!"

"Xia Qie, have you found any evidence?" the emperor asked coldly.

"Your Majesty, I have recorded all the details of my investigation here. Please take a look." Xia Qi took out a secret letter, which recorded the information of the officials involved in detail.

"You have done a great job on this matter. I am very satisfied, but I hope you won't reveal it to anyone." The emperor said worriedly again.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured. I am loyal to you and will never reveal a single word of what you have ordered." Xia Qi said with a solemn vow.

"In that case, I will leave this matter to you. These officials have complicated relationships. You should find an opportunity to deal with them one by one and don't let people become suspicious." The emperor suddenly spoke.

"Yes, I obey your order. I will take my leave first." Xia Qi retreated.

"Su Peisheng!" the emperor shouted.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong? Do you have any instructions?" Su Peisheng hurried in and asked cautiously.

"How has Suiyuxuan been these days? Is there anything unusual?" the emperor suddenly asked.

"Your Majesty, you are talking about Suiyuxuan. Concubine Wan is still under house arrest..." Su Peisheng said.

"What about Concubine Rong? Is she okay?" The emperor interrupted Su Peisheng and continued to ask.

"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has already brought Concubine Rong's mother into the palace in accordance with the rules to accompany Concubine Rong during her delivery. Everything is fine at the moment." Su Peisheng answered again.

The emperor nodded slightly and said with satisfaction, "Well done. Go tell the people below that Concubine Rong is pregnant and needs careful care. Make sure they serve her wholeheartedly and do not neglect or mistreat her in the slightest."

"Yes, I'll do it right away." Su Peisheng responded respectfully.

The emperor pondered for a moment and then continued, "There is one more thing. Concubine Wan is currently under house arrest. Once I have investigated the affairs of the Zhen family, I will naturally lift her house arrest."

"Yes, I understand." Su Peisheng agreed quickly.

Ever since the Zhen family encountered trouble, those who had come to congratulate them have now started to spread many rumors behind their backs. Everyone is making groundless accusations and the rumors are getting more and more intense.

At this moment, my only hope is that the Zhen family will be safe and sound, and that my sister can rest assured. We have always supported each other in the palace and faced difficulties together.

Without each other's support and help, how could we have come this far?

Seeing me frowning and worried all day long, my mother always advised me earnestly to relax and not worry all day long, otherwise it would not be good for the fetus in my belly.

"Rong'er, if you work so hard every day, it will be harmful to your body! Your mother sees it and feels pain in her heart." The mother said with a worried look on her face.

I smiled and replied, "Mother is right. I know you care about me. I will listen to you from now on. Can you rest assured now?"

After saying that, I gently patted her hand to comfort her.

"That's right. It's rare for mother to come to the palace to see you. It would be great if I could see you happy."
