The Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Ling Rong

"I must see the emperor today!" Hua Fei said as she ignored Su Peisheng's obstruction and insisted on breaking in.

"Empress Hua, you can't go in. This is a serious crime..." Su Peisheng was extremely anxious, but he couldn't stop Concubine Hua.

But Concubine Hua finally held back. Given her brother's current situation, if she barged in again rashly, the emperor would probably blame her brother even more.

Concubine Hua simply knelt at the door of the imperial study and kept kneeling, waiting for the emperor to see her, but the emperor remained unmoved and did not see Concubine Hua.

The Emperor and I were talking inside when we heard the voices of Concubine Hua and Su Peisheng.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Hua is outside. Would Your Majesty like to see her?" I looked at the emperor and asked cautiously.

"Don't worry about Concubine Hua. I don't want to see her now. Concubine Hua and her brother Nian Gengyao have been domineering for many years. Now is the time to teach them a lesson. If she wants to kneel, then let her kneel. Don't worry about it."

"I was reading a book while I was free, and I found that turning lyrics into music has a more poetic quality. How about I sing it for Your Majesty?"

"Oh? That's even better. Rong'er, just sing it for me."

"Baojuan, go get my Yueqin. Your Majesty will have to wait a moment. It's my fault for not bringing it with me when I came."

"It's not your fault. I called you here suddenly. I wonder if Rong'er can play the piano?" the emperor suddenly asked.

"I am stupid and have only learned for a few days. I can't play well and I am afraid of disturbing the emperor's hearing." I pretended to be embarrassed.

"That's okay, as long as you can play it. Su Peisheng, go get the Chang Xiangsi and give it to Rong'er." The emperor seemed to have suddenly thought of something.

"Your Majesty, there are only two Chang Xiangsi swords. One was given by the late emperor to Concubine Shu, who belonged to Prince Guo's mother, Concubine Shu. Now there is another one in the palace. It shows how much the emperor values ​​you." Su Peisheng explained.

"Stop talking nonsense. Go get it now. I can't wait to hear Rong'er's new song."

"Yes, slave, go right now!"

A moment later, Su Peisheng brought Chang Xiangsi.

I sat down gently and plucked the strings lightly with my fingers. The sound of the piano was like the gurgling of water. It was indeed a good piano.

A gentle and beautiful piano sound rang out, soft and gentle, like silk, mist, smoke and rain...

"Last night the rain was light and the wind was strong, and I couldn't sleep off the hangover. I asked the person who rolled up the curtains, but he said the crabapple tree was still the same. Do you know, do you know that it should be green and fat and red and thin..."

After the song ended, the sound of the piano still echoed, lingering...

After the song ended, I gently stood up and saluted the emperor: "Your Majesty, I am humbled to present you!"

"This piece of music is fresh and refined, and the inclusion of lyrics in the music makes it even more elegant. Although you're not good at poetry, this piece of music is just right. The melody and poetry blend into one, which is truly superb."

"Would you like to sing for me again?" The emperor was still not satisfied and wanted to hear it again.

Yes, of course I am happy to do so.

So I sang it again...

Concubine Hua was kneeling outside the imperial study, gritting her teeth in hatred as she listened to the singing coming from inside.

But she still knelt there straight, not moving at all. Songzhi knelt beside Concubine Hua without saying a word.

Until the evening, when I returned, the emperor had not seen Concubine Hua.

"Su Peisheng, go tell Concubine Hua to let her go back. I won't vent my anger on her about Nian Gengyao."

"Yes, I obey your order." Su Peisheng went out to inform Concubine Hua.

"Empress Hua, the emperor told you to go back first. He won't vent his anger on you for what happened with General Nian. Why are you doing this?" Su Peisheng tried to persuade Concubine Hua earnestly.

"Thank you, Eunuch Su!" Concubine Hua said lightly.

"Songzhi, let's go!"

During the morning meeting the next day, Cao Qinmo suddenly reported to the Queen all the things Hua Fei had done before, and each of them had evidence.

This included the incident where Concubine Hua had poisoned Princess Wen Yi with cassava flour, and also the incident where she had harmed other concubines. The Queen couldn't hide her joy, and she immediately ordered Jiang Fuhai to call Concubine Hua over to confront her.

Hua Fei was heading to Jingren Palace at this time, and Jiang Fuhai met Hua Fei on the way.

"The Empress asks Consort Hua to go to Jingren Palace immediately!"

"It's just right. I also want to find the queen." Hua Fei was sitting in the sedan chair at this time.

When she arrived at the Queen's Palace, Cao Qinmo was talking about what Concubine Hua had done in the past.

Concubine Hua was furious when she heard this. She went in and kicked Cao Qinmo to the ground, saying, "Bitch, have you forgotten who has helped you get to where you are today? How dare you betray me!"

"Everyone has heard that Concubine Hua and Concubine Cao are very close, so every word Concubine Cao says is credible. Jiang Fuhai, go tell the emperor."

"Take all the servants of Yikun Palace to the Ministry of Punishment for strict interrogation. Don't let any of them go!"

"It was you who framed me. Today, it's really a case of everyone pushing the wall down when it falls!" Concubine Hua stared at everyone viciously.

"Hua Fei, this is Jingren Palace, please don't be so rude!" The Queen stopped her.

"Don't allow me to be presumptuous. I've been presumptuous many times, is this the only time I need to do so? I'll just watch and see how good your fate will be in the future."

After saying this, Concubine Hua turned away.

"I've finally waited for this day. It's so satisfying!" Xin Changzai said.

"Everyone, please go back first. The emperor will make the final decision on Concubine Hua's matter. Please stop discussing it in private." The queen gave the order and everyone went back.

After being interrogated by the Ministry of Punishment, the people in Yikun Palace have confessed everything.

When the Queen read the confession to the Emperor one by one, I clearly saw the impatience in the Emperor's eyes.

Under pressure from the public, the emperor punished Concubine Hua.

"Concubine Hua Nian has been in the palace for a long time and her moral character is flawed. She has been deposed and demoted to the rank of concubine."

When everyone heard the emperor's punishment of Concubine Hua, they all looked a little unconvinced, including the queen.

"I remember that when she first entered the palace, she was so bright and lively. How come she has become like this now?" The emperor frowned slightly, with a hint of doubt and confusion in his eyes.

He still remembered her smile as bright as the sun and her lively eyes when he first met her, as if everything in the world could be illuminated by her.

However, time flies, and now she has become so dark and even a little vicious.

The emperor actually still felt a bit of guilt and regret in his heart. After all, Nian Shilan was the woman he loved deeply, but as time went by, this feeling gradually faded and changed.

He couldn't help but think of the past, and those beautiful memories flooded into his heart like a tide, but were soon drowned by reality. So before long, the guilt and regret disappeared.

When Concubine Hua heard the news, she didn't know what to feel. Now there was no one around her she could trust, and even Song Zhi was taken away by the Ministry of Punishment.

I don’t know how my brother is doing? Concubine Hua is still worried.
