I fulfilled the female supporting role's wish and I succeeded

"What's going on?" Zhen Huan muttered through gritted teeth, a flash of anger in her eyes. She reached out to push the door open, but was stopped by Su Peisheng who suddenly appeared.

Su Peisheng was sweating profusely and said anxiously, "My lady, please wait a moment! The emperor is still inside..."

Zhen Huan glared at Su Peisheng, her voice filled with suppressed anger: "Get out of the way! I want to see who is seducing the emperor in my palace!"

Su Peisheng didn't dare to let go, and could only plead in a low voice: "My lord, please calm down, please think twice!"

Zhen Huan's eyes widened, her heartbeat accelerating. She took a deep breath, forced herself to calm down, and asked softly, "Who's in there?"

Su Peisheng stood aside and answered with his head down: "My lady, it is... it is Miss Huanbi."

Zhen Huan was struck by lightning when she heard this. She stumbled back a step, her face turning pale in an instant.

A chill ran up from the soles of her feet, and she felt as if the blood in her body had frozen. Her vision was blurry, her ears were buzzing, and she almost fainted.

"Huanbi?" Zhen Huan's voice trembled, and a hint of disbelief flashed in her eyes.

Zhen Huan took a few deep breaths, trying to calm her shock and anger. Her gaze was fixed on the bathroom door, as if she wanted to burn through it. The atmosphere in the room suddenly became solemn, and even the air seemed to freeze.

Zhen Huan's chest heaved violently, her eyes darting back and forth between Su Peisheng and the bathroom door. The sounds in the bathroom grew clearer and clearer, each one like a sharp knife piercing her heart.

Finally, Zhen Huan took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. She stepped back and looked at Su Peisheng coldly: "Okay, I won't go in. But this matter will never be let go."

Zhen Huan waited in her room all night, her heart sinking like an icy hole. Her eyes were fixed on the closed bathroom door, the sounds from within echoing in her ears. Every second felt like a knife piercing her heart. Anger, jealousy, and a sense of betrayal mingled, threatening to consume her.

The next morning, sunlight streamed into Fanying Pavilion through the window lattice. Zhen Huan sat at her dressing table, her eyes filled with anger. The Emperor had just left, but she couldn't calm down.

There were footsteps in the courtyard. Huanbi hurried over and knelt before Zhen Huan, her voice trembling: "My lady, I know I was wrong. Last night...last night it was the Emperor who asked me to do this...I dare not disobey His Majesty's will. Please forgive me, my lady."

Zhen Huan looked coldly at Huanbi who was kneeling on the ground, with a hint of disgust in her eyes.

She stood up and looked down at Huanbi condescendingly: "You are good at shirking responsibility. Since you know your mistake, kneel here and reflect on it."

Huanbi lowered her head, not daring to look up at Zhen Huan: "Yes, I know I was wrong. Please forgive me, my lady."

Zhen Huan turned and walked to the window, looking at the flowers blooming in the courtyard, and said in a cold voice: "Kneel down, and do not get up without my permission."

Huanbi knelt on the ground, her body trembling slightly, not daring to look up at Zhen Huan. However, beneath this outward obedience, her heart was churning with complex emotions.

A feeling of resentment and anger spread within her. She thought to herself, "I am also a descendant of the Zhen family, so why is my fate so unfair? Zhen Huan is so high and mighty, so doted on, while I am reduced to a lowly palace maid."

The flames of jealousy burned in her heart. Huanbi recalled the intimate moment she had just had with the Emperor, and the feeling of being valued and desired intoxicated her. She longed to be like Zhen Huan, a favored concubine above all others.

"I am clearly capable of serving the Emperor, so why should I be inferior to him?" This thought kept circling in her mind. Huanbi bit her lip tightly, trying hard to suppress the resentment and resentment in her heart.

Huanbi had been kneeling on the ground for a long time, her knees aching slightly. She lowered her head and dared not look up.

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps approaching. Huanbi's heartbeat quickened and she clutched the corner of her clothes nervously.

Su Peisheng led several eunuchs in, holding gorgeous brocade boxes in their hands. Su Peisheng cleared his throat and announced in a loud voice:

"The Emperor has issued an oral decree: Conferring upon Huanbi the title of Constant Layperson, upon her return to the palace, granting her the residence of the west side hall of Suiyuxuan."

Huanbi suddenly raised her head, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes. She said in a trembling voice, "Thank you for your grace."

Su Peisheng smiled slightly and motioned the eunuchs to come forward. They opened the brocade box, revealing exquisite jewelry and gorgeous clothes.

"This is a gift from the emperor. Please accept it, Mr. He." Su Peisheng said.

Huanbi stretched out her hands and carefully accepted the gift. Tears glistened in her eyes, and her voice choked with sobs: "Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty."

Su Peisheng nodded, turned around and left with the eunuchs. Huanbi was still kneeling there, looking at the gift in her hand, with an ecstatic smile on her face.

Zhen Huan slowly pushed open the door, a look of displeasure on her face. Her eyes swept over Huanbi, who was kneeling on the ground, and a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes.

"Get up." Zhen Huan said coldly, with an unquestionable command in her voice.

Huanbi lowered her head and stood up tremblingly. She didn't dare to look Zhen Huan in the eye, and could only stare at her toes.

Zhen Huan took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in her heart.

"Come in with me." Zhen Huan said without turning her head, with a hint of threat in her tone.

Huanbi bit her lip and followed Zhen Huan cautiously. The atmosphere in the room became solemn, and even the air seemed to freeze.

Zhen Huan is a very smart person. After calming down for such a long time, she also figured out the interests involved here, and she could only swallow this loss.

Zhen Huan took a deep breath and calmed herself down. She slowly turned around, stared into Huanbi's eyes, and reached out to gently hold Huanbi's hand.

"Huanbi, I've known for a long time that you're my sister." Zhen Huan's voice was soft but firm. "Ever since before I entered the palace."

A flash of surprise flashed across Huanbi's eyes, but she quickly regained her composure. Zhen Huan continued, "Now, we can work together for the benefit of the Zhen family. I will report this to the Emperor and ask my father to publicly adopt you as his adopted daughter."

She paused, tightened her grip on Huanbi's hand, and spoke more gently, "I will also request that your mother's tablet be placed in the ancestral hall."

Jingyang Palace

An Lingrong supported her waist and slowly stepped down from the carriage. She took a deep breath, taking in the familiar palace atmosphere. Her eyes sparkled with joy and anticipation. She turned to Qiuyue beside her and said, "I'm finally back."

Qiuyue carefully supported An Lingrong, a gentle smile on her face: "Yes, Your Majesty. Thank you for your hard work along the way."

An Lingrong shook her head gently, her eyes full of tenderness: "It's not hard. It's all worth it to be able to come back here." She looked up at the eaves and corners of the palace, and the magnificent golden buildings sparkled in the sun.

The palace maids filed in, carrying various items in their hands, and walked lightly towards An Lingrong's bedroom. An Lingrong followed slowly, taking every step carefully, for fear of disturbing the fetus in her belly.

Walking into the familiar bedroom, An Lingrong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. She gently stroked her swollen belly and said softly, "Baby, we're home."

Qiuyue immediately stepped forward and arranged the pillows on the couch for An Lingrong. "Your Majesty, please rest for a while. You've been exhausted from the journey, and you need to recuperate well."

An Lingrong nodded and smiled, then slowly sat down.

"Qiuyue," An Lingrong called softly, "Go prepare some warm tea. I'm suddenly thirsty after returning to the palace."

Qiuyue responded respectfully and turned to leave.
