The Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Ling Rong

Chapter 53 On the eve of the war

After leaving the Yangxin Palace, Prince Guo returned to his own residence and then called his confidant A Jin with a serious expression.

He took a deep breath and said in a serious tone, "Ah Jin, I need you to immediately arrange for a few unfamiliar but smart people to monitor Prince Dun's residence and Nian Gengyao's residence respectively. If you find any abnormalities or any signs of trouble, you must report to me immediately. Without any mistakes."

Seeing the prince so worried, A Jin knew that the matter was serious.

The prince had never been so serious before and quickly responded, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, A Jin will do it right away."

After saying that, he turned around and left quickly to start arranging related matters.

Prince Guo looked at Ajin's receding back with a frown on his face, thinking to himself that the relationship between Prince Dun and Nian Gengyao was becoming increasingly delicate. If there were any unusual movements, it would probably cause chaos.

He knew very well that this matter was of great importance and must not be taken lightly.

At this time, various possible situations began to emerge in Prince Guo's mind, and each one made him feel uneasy.

He couldn't help but sigh that although the capital seemed calm, there were actually undercurrents.

As a member of the royal family, he shoulders the responsibility of maintaining royal peace and must remain vigilant at all times.

The emperor has already decided to take action against Prince Dun. Now all he needs to do is find out where he made a mistake so that he can catch him in one fell swoop.

In order to avoid any accidents, the emperor decided to perform a play with Concubine Wan for everyone to confuse their attention.

The emperor entertained all the concubines at Jiuzhou Qingyan Banquet. During the banquet, everyone clinked glasses and drank one drink after another.

Songzhi has been favored by the emperor recently. At the banquet, Concubine Hua winked at Songzhi, and Songzhi understood and stepped forward to pick a plate of fruit for the emperor.

The emperor said, "It's still okay."

"Sister Songzhi is favored by the Emperor and is very good at understanding His Majesty's intentions. It seems that Concubine Hua's decision to offer her sister to the Emperor was truly appropriate."

As soon as Wanpin said this, Songzhi's face suddenly turned ugly.

"I just want to do my best for the emperor, and I have no other thoughts." Songzhi said pitifully.

"The Emperor did not praise my sister's kindness. It seems that my sister Songzhi should learn more from Empress Hua." Concubine Wan raised a faint smile at the corner of her mouth and said in a somewhat provocative tone.

Her eyes swept over Songzhi and then fell on Hua Fei, as if waiting for Hua Fei's response. Wanpin continued to provoke Hua Fei.

"Wanpin is being too presumptuous. Is the Emperor going to sit back and do nothing? Is he going to let Wanpin be like this?" Concubine Hua finally couldn't help it. After hearing this, her face suddenly became gloomy.

She glared at Wanpin fiercely, her heart filled with anger.

The emperor sat and watched all this quietly. There was no expression on his face, but his eyes revealed a hint of displeasure.

He knew Hua Fei's temper and understood Wanpin's provocation. This was the effect he wanted.

"What does the Queen think?" the Emperor suddenly asked the Queen.

"I was happy today and drank a few more sips of wine. I will tell them about them after we're done." The queen didn't know why the emperor suddenly asked her.

The Emperor stared at the Empress without saying a word. After a moment, he slammed his hand on the table and asked loudly, "Is this how the Empress usually manages my harem? No wonder there are so many arguments and disturbances."

This move was beyond everyone's expectations. Everyone present was shocked, and the Queen was so frightened that her face turned pale. She quickly knelt and apologized: "Your Majesty, please calm down! I know I was wrong, please forgive me!"

Seeing this, everyone knelt on the ground and shouted in unison: "Your Majesty, please calm down!" For a moment, the atmosphere in the hall was extremely tense.

"Princess Wan, you have spoken rudely and behaved disrespectfully in front of the emperor. From today on, you will be imprisoned in Penglai Island to reflect on your mistakes. You are not allowed to leave without the emperor's order," the emperor announced.

Hua Fei was so happy now that the smile on her face reached her eyes.

"Princess Wan, the emperor asked you to reflect on your mistakes. You must think carefully about where you went wrong, otherwise how can you come back?" Concubine Hua couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.

Everyone wanted to plead for Wanpin, but they were scared away by the emperor.

This scene will make everyone mistakenly believe that there is a serious contradiction and conflict between the emperor and the queen, thereby distracting Prince Dun and his supporters.

In this way, they will focus more on the relationship between the emperor and the empress, rather than being aware of the emperor's plans. At the same time, by creating this tense atmosphere, the emperor can better grasp the situation and ensure the smooth progress of the action.

"Sister, the journey to Penglai Island is long, please take care of yourself." I gently advised.

Wanpin smiled slightly, her eyes firm and gentle: "Thank you, sister, I will be careful. I don't know when I will be back from Penglai Island, so please be careful in the palace. Sister Mei is about to give birth, and I am always worried."

"Don't worry, sister. I will be careful and take good care of Sister Mei."

The boat to Penglai Island slowly sailed away, and Su Peisheng came personally to see it off.

This time, I did not ask the emperor for help in going to Penglai Island with my sister. I knew my sister would be safe, as the emperor had already arranged everything.

In just a few days, she will be able to return safely.

The emperor's move was only to divert other people's attention and secretly implement the plan to make Concubine Hua become complacent and make mistakes unconsciously.

This was true for Concubine Hua, Nian Gengyao, and Prince Dun.

"Lingrong, I just heard that the Emperor punished Huan'er by sending her to Penglai Island to reflect on her mistakes. Is this news true?"

I was just thinking slowly when Sister Mei brought Caiyue to Suiyuxuan.

She looked at me, her eyes filled with confusion and worry. "Lingrong, what's going on? Why would the Emperor punish Huan'er by sending her to Penglai Island to reflect on her mistakes when nothing happened?" Sister Mei asked softly, a hint of disbelief in her tone.

I smiled and nodded, comforting her: "Don't worry, sister, Sister Wan will be back soon."

Sister Mei frowned and said worriedly, "Lingrong, are you telling the truth?"

I nodded gently and explained, "Don't worry, sister, it's not a big deal."

"That's good. I was very worried when I first heard the news, so I thought I'd rush over to take a look so I could feel more at ease."

I looked at Sister Mei with gratitude and said, "Sister, you should be relieved. You're pregnant and about to give birth. You shouldn't worry about these things, lest they affect the fetus. Why did you come to me?"

"I was so anxious just now that I didn't have time to think about it. Now that I hear you say this, I can rest assured."

"Sister Mei, let me take you back. I'll move to your place in the next few days so I can be with you. Is that okay with you?"

I have been feeling a little uneasy these days, afraid that something might happen.

"Why do you want to live with me? Isn't your Suiyuxuan good enough?" Sister Mei asked with a little confusion.

"Sister, I can't wait to be the baby's aunt. I'm looking forward to the little one coming out soon!"
