The Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Ling Rong

When I woke up, I was already in Suiyuxuan.

I was lying on my sister's bed at the moment, and I quickly got up and prepared to get out of bed.

But the emperor reached out to stop me and told me not to move.

"The imperial physician has just examined you. You've been pregnant for over a month, how come you didn't know it? Luckily I arrived just in time, otherwise what would have happened?"

This... I really didn't know that I was pregnant.

"Bring the person in!" the emperor ordered.

Then the guards brought Zhou Ninghai in, along with a person I didn't know.

Concubine Hua followed behind with a very ugly look on her face.

Chun'er was trembling with fear, and Jinxi was by her side.

"Mrs. Chun, tell me, what happened just now that made you so scared?"

"Your Majesty, I went to the Imperial Garden with Sister Wan to fly a kite. The kite fell over the rockery, so I went to pick it up, but I saw..."

Chun'er looked at Concubine Hua, still feeling a little scared.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here. Just tell me what you see and I'll take care of it for you!"

"I saw Concubine Hua talking to someone, heard the process of Concubine Hua and General Nian buying and selling official positions, and heard the person who communicated with people outside the palace."

"I was so frightened that I dared not move. Then someone threw a stone into the water, and Concubine Hua discovered me and sent Zhou Ninghai to chase me."

"Luckily, Xiao Yunzi showed up in time and knocked Zhou Ninghai down, so I could run out and see Jinxi. The rope Zhou Ninghai was holding was so long, I was so scared... wuwuwu..."

Chun'er recalled it and started crying in fear.

"How dare Concubine Chun talk nonsense and frame me in front of the Emperor?" In fact, Concubine Hua was also afraid that the Emperor would really believe it.

"I'm not talking nonsense, Your Majesty, Chun'er is really not talking nonsense, I really saw it." Chun'er explained once.

"I understand. Let's take Concubine Chun downstairs to rest first. I'll find an imperial physician to take a good look at her."

"Your Majesty, it was just a quarrel between two servants, and there was a fight between them. Your Majesty has no need to be so angry."

Concubine Hua tried to cover it up by claiming it was a private matter between two servants.

"Xiao Yunzi, tell me, what's going on?"

"My lady, Eunuch Zhou was treating Concubine Chun badly at that time. I was forced to do that to Eunuch Zhou." Xiao Yunzi said, coughing a few times uncomfortably.

"Xiao Yunzi, what's wrong with your neck? Lift your head and look at me."

Xiao Yunzi just raised his head, and everyone looked over and saw a deep mark on his neck. If Xiao Yunzi hadn't been there today, the consequences could be imagined.

The emperor frowned. Concubine Hua was so blatant that even the emperor could no longer turn a blind eye.

"Hua Fei was not strict with her subordinates and allowed a servant to hurt others. She is demoted to the rank of concubine. From today on, she is confined to Yikun Palace to reflect on her mistakes and is not allowed to leave without Zhao."

The emperor's face turned ashen, and he seemed to be very angry.

"Your Majesty, please listen to my explanation..."

Hua Fei wanted to say more, but was glared back by the emperor.

"Zhou Ninghai, drag him out and beat him to death!"

"Your Majesty, please have mercy and spare Zhou Ninghai's life!"

"It is because these servants have led their master astray. If you beg for mercy again, I will replace all the palace servants around you."

Concubine Hua was full of disbelief.

"Someone, send Concubine Hua back!"

The emperor's unquestionable tone frightened everyone.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

The emperor looked down at the person in front of him who was communicating with Concubine Hua.

The man was so frightened that he dared not speak and was trembling.

"Su Peisheng, take the man out and come back after you've finished questioning him."

The guards took the man out.

After a while, Su Peisheng came back.

"Your Majesty, I've confessed everything. This man is from the Yikun Palace, and he often exchanges information with General Nian's residence. General Nian has people planted throughout the court."

"How dare Concubine Hua and Nian Gengyao reach such a level of despicable behavior!"

The emperor was so angry that he slapped the table. Everyone was frightened and knelt down quickly.

Seeing that the situation was not right, I got out of bed and knelt down.

The emperor came over and helped me up, and asked with concern, "Isn't that scary?"

"I'm fine, Your Majesty, don't worry." I was flattered.

"Your Majesty, Sister An has been frightened and needs some rest. How about I take Sister An back home?"

"Hanhuan, you're pregnant, so you shouldn't overwork yourself. Did what happened today scare you?"

"I am fine. I am standing here peacefully. But Sister An, today is really too risky. What will happen if something goes wrong?"

"I know this matter well!"

"Rong'er, I'll take you back first."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Hello, take a good rest. I'll come see you tomorrow."

"Yes, Your Majesty, just rest assured and send Sister An back."

"Come, I'll carry you back!"

Before I could react, the emperor held me in his arms the next second.

"You're pregnant now, and you just had a fright. You're already weak, so you should be even more careful."

I looked at my sister, feeling a little embarrassed.

The emperor carried me all the way back to the palace. The eunuchs and palace maids were watching us along the way. I was both happy and a little scared.

He went straight back to the palace and then let me go.

"Baojuan, go and pour tea for the emperor. Is he tired?"

"How could that be? You're not heavy, how could you be tired after such a short distance?"

"Your Majesty, I have a request. Please allow me to do so."

"Just tell me what it is!"

"I want to move to Suiyuxuan and live with Sister Wan so that we can always be together."

"Is that all? That's easy. If you like Suiyuxuan, then just pick a date and move there. It's not a big deal."

"Besides, now that you're pregnant, I have to give you a promotion. How about promoting you to Rongpin? Do you like that?"

"Also, I see that there are not many servants in your palace. I will ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to select a few and send them to you."

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. Baojuan has been serving me since I entered the palace. She is smart and reliable. Sister Wan also sent Juqing. I like them both very much. Your Majesty, there is no need to worry about my affairs."

"If you like it, that's fine. You can't refuse. Now that you've been promoted, you'll naturally need more people to serve you. It's also okay to let them do other things."

"Your Majesty, I thank you!"

"I have rewarded you handsomely for your service to the young master. You should be even more attentive in the future."

"Your Majesty, I thank you for your grace!"

"Get up quickly. You are pregnant now, why are you kneeling again?" The emperor reached out to help me up.

"Your Majesty loves me, and I am overjoyed, but etiquette cannot be abandoned."

"Rong'er is deeply in my heart, so I will go and take care of government affairs first."

"Your Majesty, I respectfully send you off!"

"My lady, when did this happen? Why didn't you tell me?"

As soon as the emperor left, Baojuan asked me immediately.

"I don't know myself, who knew it was true."

Empress Hua, it seems that I should thank you very much this time. After all, you have helped me so much, otherwise, I wouldn’t even know it myself.
