The Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Ling Rong

"Look at you, you're going to be a mother soon, why are you still acting like a child?" Sister Mei smiled dotingly.

"If you like, of course you can. I'll ask Caiyue to tell the Queen that you can come whenever you want." Sister Mei looked at me gently and said.

"I'm going back now. You can come over later." Sister Mei patted my hand gently, then turned and left.

I looked at her back as she walked further and further away, and the difficulty she seemed to be walking, and I felt inexplicably distressed.

"Your Highness, there is news!" A Jin ran quickly into Prince Guo's study.

At this time, Prince Guo was reading attentively in his study. When he heard A Jin's voice, he understood that A Jin had news.

A Jin ran to Prince Guo panting, with his hands on his knees, breathing heavily.

His face flushed red, obviously exhausted from running all the way here. But his eyes sparkled, as if he couldn't wait to tell Prince Guo the news.

Prince Guo put down the book in his hand, smiled and said to A Jin: "Why are you in such a hurry? Take a breath first."

Ah Jin took a deep breath, adjusted his breathing, then straightened up and said excitedly: "Your Majesty, I just got the news that the personal letter from Prince Dun to Nian Gengyao was intercepted by our people.

Upon hearing this, Prince Guo's body trembled violently. He turned around, stared at A Jin, and asked, "When did this happen?"

Ah Jin quickly replied: "It's what just happened."

He paused, then added, "But we don't know what it is yet."

Prince Guo frowned, thought for a moment, and then said, "There must be something fishy about this matter. Where's the letter? Give it to me."

A Jin quickly handed the letter to Prince Guo.

After receiving the letter, Prince Guo pondered for a moment.

"Ah Jin, keep your guard up. I want to go to the palace to see the emperor!"

"Yes, Your Highness!" A Jin left.

"Eunuch Su, is the emperor here? I have an important matter to discuss with the emperor. Please, Eunuch Su, pass on the message." Prince Guo said politely.

"Your Highness is too polite. The Emperor is taking a nap. Let me go and see if he has woken up. Please wait for a moment, Your Highness." Su Peisheng said to Prince Guo.

"Thank you so much, Eunuch Su!"

Prince Guo was good-tempered to everyone, so the palace maids and eunuchs also admired him very much.

Su Peisheng tiptoed in to see if the emperor was awake.

But he found that the emperor had woken up long ago and was lying down.

"Your Majesty, Prince Guo requests to see you, saying he has something important to discuss with you." Su Peisheng immediately reported to the emperor.

"Oh? Prince Guo is here? Where is he?" The emperor sat up from the bed and asked Su Peisheng anxiously.

"The prince is waiting outside the Yangxin Palace now. Does the emperor want to see the prince?" Su Peisheng asked.

"Go quickly and ask Prince Guo to come in."

"Your Highness, the Emperor has woken up. Please come in!" Su Peisheng came out and invited Prince Guo in.

"Your humble servant pays respects to the Emperor!"

Prince Guo's first reaction when he saw the emperor was courtesy.

"Why are you here at this time? Is there any news?" the emperor asked anxiously.

"Your Majesty, I have just intercepted a secret letter from Prince Dun to Nian Gengyao. I feel it is inappropriate, so I have come to inform you. I hope you will review it."

As Prince Guo spoke, he took out the secret letter from his bosom and presented it to the emperor with both hands.

The emperor took the secret letter, slowly opened it and saw that it was just as he expected.

"Prince Dun has indeed colluded with Nian Gengyao and they are in cahoots. They want to take my throne and replace me." The emperor was naturally angry after reading the letter.

"My royal brother is wise. Fortunately, my royal brother has made preparations in advance."

"Su Peisheng, go call Xia Qi!" The emperor already had an idea in his mind at this time.

"Xia Jian, take the Blood Dropper's men and quietly surround Prince Dun's and Nian Gengyao's residences. Act according to my orders."

The emperor gave instructions to Xia Qie.

"Seventeenth brother, I now order you to lead my cavalry battalion to Prince Dun's mansion and Nian Gengyao's mansion and secretly surround these two places, but do not act rashly. Wait for my order before taking action." The emperor said majestically.

"Yes, I will follow your Majesty's will and will not let you down! I will follow your arrangements in everything." Prince Guo replied respectfully.

Then, the emperor instructed Su Peisheng beside him, "Su Peisheng, you must immediately convey my order to the wife of Prince Dun and her son. Tell them that the Queen Mother is in poor health and needs company. Ask them to enter the palace immediately to accompany the Queen Mother and serve her."

Su Peisheng took the order and left. He understood that this operation was of vital importance and must be foolproof.

The emperor watched Su Peisheng leave and secretly thought about his next plan.

He knew that this was a race against time and that all his efforts would be wasted if he was not careful.

In the tense atmosphere, everyone performed their duties and made full preparations for the upcoming action.

Fortunately, everything went smoothly and Prince Guo lived up to the emperor's trust.

"Brother Your Majesty, I have already captured Prince Dun and Nian Gengyao. Now everything will be under your command." Prince Guo saluted and reported to the emperor.

Upon hearing this, the emperor's eyes flashed with relief, but he remained calm and nodded, "Well done, Seventeenth Brother! Thanks to you, I was able to resolve this trouble so smoothly. What do you think next?"

Prince Guo smiled faintly and replied respectfully, "My dear brother, I believe that Prince Dun and Nian Gengyao should be temporarily confined to their respective residences and handed over to the Dali Temple for trial. As for their accomplices, they must be investigated one by one to prevent endless trouble. In addition, the defense of the capital must be strengthened to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the chaos to cause trouble."

The emperor nodded slightly in agreement and said with a smile, "You are right!"

"Seventeenth brother, I want to thank you for your help, otherwise I would not be able to solve this problem so smoothly." As he said this, the emperor personally helped Prince Guo up and gave him a glass of wine.

Prince Guo looked at the wine, a hint of worry flashed in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

After expressing his gratitude, he drank it all in one gulp.

Seeing this, the emperor laughed out loud and felt particularly happy.

As night falls, Penglai Island is brightly lit with candles.

"Jinxi, what do you think of the emperor? Is the operation going smoothly?" Wanpin was sitting at the table, holding the cup tightly in her hand, her face full of worry.

"My lady, don't worry. The emperor is a lucky person and will definitely succeed." Jin Xi comforted.

"But... I'm still very worried about him. This plan is so dangerous, what if something unexpected happens?" Wanpin said with a frown.

"My lady, don't think too much. The emperor will be safe and sound. All we can do now is wait for news." Jin Xi comforted her softly.

"Well, I hope everything goes well." Wanpin sighed, her eyes falling on the candlelight on the table and the brightly lit water outside the window, as if she could see the emperor in the distance through it.
