The Legend of Zhen Huan Reborn: Overthrowing Zhen Huan to Become the Queen Mother

Zhen Huan stepped into the Suiyu Pavilion and looked up to see the courtyard ablaze with flowers, like a brocade scroll. A path paved with colorful stones meandered through it, and carved palace lanterns on either side swayed gently in the breeze, emitting a soft halo of light.

The glazed tiles of the main hall reflect brilliant light in the sunlight, the copper nails on the vermilion door are shiny, and the door knockers are carved into the shape of exquisite animal heads, as if silently demonstrating the past glory.

Inside the hall, neatly arranged tables and chairs adorned with gold-threaded sandalwood satin cushions were beautifully embroidered and cool to the touch. Curio cabinets overflowed with rare treasures, while the calligraphy and paintings on the walls were all by renowned artists and were priceless.

Huanbi lit some calming incense for Zhen Huan. The incense in the room curled up, and the faint fragrance filled every inch of the space.

Everything in the palace was exquisite and luxurious, but Zhen Huan felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar. Her chest was pounding and emitting a stiff cold air.

Her eyes drifted inadvertently to the east wing hall where she once lived. She saw that the door of the hall was closed, thick dust had accumulated between the cracks, and thin spider webs had crawled on the window frames, as if it had been forgotten in the corner by time, witnessing the sudden change in her fate.

Zhen Huan suddenly panicked and covered her face helplessly until Cui Jinxi came to ask her, and she choked in confusion.

"Aunt, did I do something wrong? But doesn't the emperor also want to deal with the Nian family?"

Cui Jinxi was also upset. She felt heavy in her heart, but she had to offer comfort. "This matter may not be a foregone conclusion. Your Majesty is still a concubine, and the Sui Yuxuan remains beautiful. The Emperor must have other plans."

After a moment of silence, Zhen Huan covered her lower abdomen, beads of sweat oozing from her forehead. She gritted her teeth and called out, "My stomach hurts so much! Quick, please ask Doctor Wen to come..."

The emperor was lost in thought until the afternoon.

The emperor slowly woke up, frowned and looked around, "Where's Su Peisheng?"

Xiao Xiazi respectfully handed over the boots and helped the emperor get dressed. "After the emperor went to bed, the master went out. I didn't dare to ask about his rest time."

At this time, Su Peisheng returned to the Yangxin Palace with a feeling of regret and emotion.

Just now, Su Peisheng went to find Cui Jinxi to find another job for her, but unexpectedly, Cui Jinxi told him: Concubine Wan is pregnant!

This Wanpin has done stupid things again and again, but her luck is really good!

As soon as he entered the hall, he ran into the emperor coming out of the inner room.

Su Peisheng's expression froze for a moment, and the next second he said in surprise:

"Your Majesty, you are awake! I just went to the Imperial Hospital to make you a nourishing soup, but I heard some news."

Su Peisheng followed the emperor's footsteps flatteringly.

The emperor was dressed neatly. He glanced at Su Peisheng but said nothing.

Su Peisheng said carefully: "Your Majesty, Concubine Wan has been pregnant for two months."

The emperor paused and turned back in disbelief.

His thoughts raced through the air, then became clearer and more coherent. The emperor slowly sat down, his eyes dark as he spoke:

"Concubine Zhen of Wan is inherently docile and unworthy of her position as a concubine. However, she deliberately set fire, causing alarm within the palace. This crime is unforgivable. However, considering that she is pregnant with a dragon descendant, I feel compassion and cannot bear to punish her severely. I will demote her to the rank of a concubine, but will still allow her to enjoy the rank of a concubine. She will be confined to the Suiyu Pavilion and not allowed to leave without my permission. I hope she will reflect on her mistakes and reflect on them carefully, so that she can reflect on herself in the future."

As soon as this decree came out, Su Peisheng knew that the emperor had no real intention of punishing Wanpin, and immediately felt relieved. Even if she was demoted to a concubine, she still enjoyed the same privileges as a concubine. If she gave birth to an imperial heir, there was no need to worry about not being able to return to the position of concubine.

But the emperor didn't think so much.

Concubine Hua is not as domineering as before but is still spoiled. Concubine Duan is secretly plotting and is eyeing her covetously. Concubine Fang has children but her background is still a burden.

In this case, not going to Zhen Huan is far more beneficial than going to Zhen Huan. First, Zhen Huan is quite talented and can discuss history and politics with him. Second, having someone in front of others can make the snakes, insects, rats and ants in the palace reveal their true colors.

Thinking of this, the emperor sent another team of guards to garrison outside the Suiyuxuan.

At the same time, Chun Chang went around Yiku Palace and Yongshou Palace. With nowhere to go, she beat her legs in frustration in the Imperial Garden.

"Concubine Wan and Lady Guarjia can change their residences at will, but I can't. What's this?"

Yu'er obediently squatted down and massaged Chun Changzai's legs. "I think it might be because you were too young when you first entered the palace that the Emperor didn't notice you. Later, when they saw you, the concubines rushed to compete for your favor. How could you catch up with them in this regard?"

Chun Changzai curled his lips and smiled, "Okay, you're good at talking. I don't think what Madam said is necessarily right. I shouldn't have gone to the East Wing Hall in the first place."

Yu'er nodded in agreement.

"That's all for today. I'm exhausted. I want to eat pickled goose and milk, water chestnut and flour cake tonight!"

Chun Changzai's figure disappeared among the faint vegetation in the imperial garden.

Unexpectedly, I got a big surprise as soon as I arrived at Shuiyuxuan.

The guards stopped Concubine Chun without hesitation and told her the emperor's order.

Yu'er complained, "Our young master lives inside. If you don't let us in, we can't pack our things!"

Chun Changzai stopped Yu'er with secret joy, and then heard the guards say that an old maid in the west wing had brought palace maids to clean up.

But after a while, a wealthy nanny came out happily with many boxes and cages, commanding the palace servants.

"My lady, let's go. The emperor has granted you a residence in the West Wing Palace!"

......

To serve as a warning, the imperial edict was announced to the six palaces.

At noon, I learned that Zhen Huan was sent to Suiyuxuan for planning arson. I thought that Zhen Huan would be severely punished for such a serious mistake, but unexpectedly she was only demoted to a commoner. Because she was pregnant, she still enjoyed the status of a concubine, but was confined to Suiyuxuan.

Upon hearing this news, Concubine Qi's heart burned with rage, a resentment that threatened to consume her. Biting her lower lip, she sat down at the table with a sullen expression. The pen in her hand felt like a thousand pounds, her chest heaving violently, anger and resentment surging within her. "Father, do you know the humiliation my daughter has endured in the palace? Concubine Wan, guilty of arson and murder, received no severe punishment for such heinous acts. She even enjoyed continued honors due to her pregnancy, though she was confined to the Suiyu Pavilion. My daughter's dowry, those carefully selected treasures from home, was completely reduced to ashes by her fire. That was my daughter's dignity and support in this palace."

Her pen strokes fell on the letter paper, her handwriting slightly messy due to anger. "What right did Zhen Huan have? Just relying on her seductive appearance to bewitch the emperor? My daughter has been cautious and careful in this palace, but she has suffered such losses because of her evil deeds. Father, you must stand up for me and cannot let her get away with this. I really can't swallow this! Father, you must find a way."

When Lou Yong'er learned about this, she was taking good care of the flowers and plants with Tara.

Lou Yong'er was slightly startled, and the scissors she was using to trim the branches paused for a moment. Then she shook her head gently, thinking, "Calculating the time, it's almost time for Zhen Huan to leave the palace. No wonder she's pregnant again at this time. After all these twists and turns, she's back to Sui Yuxuan. I really don't know if it's fate or something else."

Tara blinked when she heard this and whispered, "The royal family really cares about children."
