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

The corners of Zhen Huan's lips trembled slightly, but she knew that this was not the best time to defeat Concubine Hua, not to mention that Xiao Yunzi's whereabouts were unknown.

The next day, the night was shrouded in a hazy light, and the Forbidden City welcomed its first sunny day in recent times.

Zhen Huan saw off the emperor who was going to court in the morning, and turned around to see Jianqiu coming with several guards in a menacing manner.

Zhen Huan's heart skipped a beat, but she quickly put on a smile. "Aunt Jianqiu, you're here so early. What instructions does the Empress have? If you're looking for the Emperor, unfortunately, he's already gone to the front court."

Jianqiu's eyes changed. She first glanced at the plaque of Suiyuxuan in surprise, then said calmly, "The Empress has an urgent matter and has sent for Concubine Wan. Please ask Concubine Wan to go with me."

Zhen Huan's heart was in turmoil. She glanced at the guards standing solemnly behind Jian Qiu and said slowly, "Since the Queen has urgent business, let's go now."

It was still dark, but Jingren Palace was brightly lit.

Led by Jianqiu, Zhen Huan walked straight into the main hall, and what caught her eyes were three thin figures.

An Lingrong sat on the ground with a helpless look on her face. When she saw Zhen Huan coming, she didn't bother to wipe away the tear marks on her face, and looked at Zhen Huan expectantly.

Lou Yong'er's rosy face, which always wore a smile, was now dimmed and filled with fear, but hope was rekindled the moment she saw Zhen Huan.

Shen Meizhuang stood tall and straight, her back straight at the front. When Zhen Huan walked side by side with Shen Meizhuang and knelt down to pay her respects, she was shocked to find that Sister Mei had lowered her usually held high head, with a blank expression and tears in her eyes.

"Your concubine pays homage to the Empress. May the Empress be blessed with good health." Zhen Huan kowtowed respectfully and shouted.

The room was silent.

Zhen Huan looked up and found the Queen holding her forehead with her hand, looking tired. Even with her head tilted slightly, Zhen Huan was still frightened by the cold gaze that was fixed on her.

"Changzai Wan, do you admit your guilt?" the Queen's voice sounded calmly.

Perhaps it was because he was used to seeing the Queen's dignified and graceful appearance when paying his respects on weekdays, so he was not used to hearing her plain tone for the first time.

Zhen Huan shuddered slightly, "I don't know what the Queen is talking about."

"Bold Zhen Huan!" The thin-bodied sweet white porcelain with nine peaches in pink glaze shattered beside Zhen Huan with a "bang". Zhen Huan could clearly hear the sobbing voices of the two people behind her.

The Empress Dowager was furious. "You ordered Xiao Yunzi to pretend to be Yu's ghost, frightening Concubine Li to madness, making Concubine Fucha sick, and even disturbing the Sixth Prince. Each of these crimes is unforgivable. Concubine Shen and the others knew about it. What else do you have to say?"

So, is this what Sister Mei and the others said?

Zhen Huan's back, which had been straight since she entered the palace, relaxed for a moment. Lou Yong'er's soft crying came from behind her. Zhen Huan turned her head with a stiff neck. Lou Yong'er was already in tears, and her eyes revealed deep fear.

"So, Her Majesty, you also know who ordered Lipin to do this, right?" Zhen Huan asked the famous Queen, not knowing where she got the courage from.

The Queen opened her eyes wide in surprise. Zhen Huan clearly saw that the Queen's cold and distant gaze remained unchanged. "You!" As if she finally couldn't hold it anymore, the Queen couldn't say anything. Her body softened and she fell into Jianqiu's arms.

......

"This Zhen is a beauty who brings disaster! Look at how long she has been in the palace! She scared Concubine Li crazy, frightened Noble Lady Fucha sick, and the Queen Mother couldn't sleep all night because of her worries. She even questioned her in public. And Yixiu is the Queen Mother!" The Queen Mother leaned against the couch with a gloomy face.

The emperor was wearing a black brocade robe and a red gold crown with twelve jade mosses hanging from it. He lowered his head slightly, and the jade shadows cast a sparse shadow on his calm brows.

The Queen Mother coughed violently, and finally moved him, "Empress Dowager..."

The Queen Mother waved her hand, covered her lips with a handkerchief, and took several deep breaths. "My body has always been like this. I am old and don't want to interfere in these things. But you should also restrain your preferences. If you have been like this from the beginning, you shouldn't have agreed to let Rouze enter the mansion."

The emperor stared at his empty hand in a trance, his emotions agitated for no reason. "Empress Mother, you are truly understanding, but I still don't understand. Since you have agreed to let me marry the concubine of the Ulanara family, where did Rouze get the auspicious clothes of a concubine?"

"!" The Queen Mother was shocked when she heard this, her expression became unnatural for a moment, and she was heartbroken almost the next second.

"Rou is my niece. I love her so much that I want to give her the best things in the world, but I never thought that she would fall so deeply in love with you. If not, she should be staying by my side now!" The Queen Mother covered her head in pain.

If Rouze hadn't been mistaken, she would have been the Fourteenth Lady, and perhaps still the Empress of the Qing Dynasty. My little Fourteenth Lady would have lived out her days as the most honored person in the Qing Dynasty.

Thinking of this, the empress dowager felt a surge of pain in her head and her expression became more and more painful.

His initial request for the appointment of Yixiu as his legitimate wife was a test for the late emperor and the empress dowager. The empress dowager readily agreed, and the late emperor, deeply surprised, showed him kindness and affection for the first time, telling him, "Your love and affection are truly worthy of being a good son of the royal family." He was nearly overwhelmed by the combined emotions of excitement and sorrow. It wasn't until Rouze, dressed in the ceremonial attire of a consort, danced before him that he felt, for the first time, the happiest man in the world. But everything was shattered when his own mother, with a furious expression, questioned him.

The emperor was in a complicated state of mind. He raised his head and took a deep breath. When he opened his eyes again, there were tears in his eyes.

"The Empress Dowager is not in good health. Please do not get angry in the future. It is all my fault. Even Rouze's spirit in heaven would be worried. Zhen, do not be kind to me. I will handle it myself."

"Su Peisheng! Xuanyuan judge Zhang Mi!"

A few days later, Baojuan brought back a piece of news from outside. When she entered the room, she saw An Lingrong holding the reward she had received since entering the palace in a daze, and she was instantly furious.

"Just now when I came back from outside, Concubine Xia was very mean to me, and we didn't offend her!" Baojuan was indignant.

An Lingrong opened her mouth and said, "Sister Wan and I are a thing of the past. She looks down on me, but it hasn't always been like this."

Baojuan couldn't help but resent, "My slave's young mistress, you keep calling me Sister Wan. If it weren't for her, how could you have ended up like this?"

An Lingrong wiped away dried tears. "Sister Wan has been so kind to me, I don't blame her." She lowered her head, stroking the azure Song Dynasty silk in her hands, sniffing. "This was a gift from the Emperor when I first slept with him. He said this color suits me. Oh, I won't need it anymore. Sell these and give them back to my family."

Baojuan was feeling sullen. Baozhi had just finished comforting Baoque when she came in and said, "My lady, the things bestowed upon you by the Emperor are all recorded in the Imperial Household Department. They must not be sold. Besides, why are you so discouraged?"
