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

Jiang Ruyin pretended to think, "If that's the case, then Concubine Hua is in charge of the six palaces, so naturally she can make the decision."

Cui Jinxi was startled, and then she heard Jiang Ruyin continue.

"I know that you, Shu Dong, are the most reliable. Please go back and inform Empress Hua of these matters and ask her to make the final decision."

When Shu Dong arrived at Yiku Palace, Concubine Hua was furious because the emperor was resting in the queen's palace.

"It's either Concubine Xin or the Queen. They keep going on and on. That old woman is no match for me!"

Zhou Ninghai listened to the eunuch's message, thought for a moment, then limped forward and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. Shu Dong from Suiyuxuan has arrived. I heard that Concubine Wan, who is quite favored by the Emperor, has made another serious mistake."

As expected, Concubine Hua's attention was immediately drawn to her. She straightened her clothes, took the main seat, and said, "Then let her in."

……

The next day, Jiang Ruyin learned of Concubine Hua's decision. Wan Changzai was demoted to a concubine and confined to her house for two months. The maid Cui Jinxi was caned ten times. Juqing was returned to the Suiyuxuan.

Only An Da Ying did not bring her personal maid, so there was one maid missing by her side. It was said that in the end, Huang Guiquan, the chief eunuch of the Imperial Household Department, personally brought a number of maids for An Da Ying to choose from.

He is the only one who benefited from this matter.

That night, Concubine Hua was summoned to the palace. She would have to show off in Jingren Palace.

Perhaps it was because the Queen mentioned the selection of the Manchu-Mongol Han that day, and although the current Emperor was close to Han women, he was the first to turn over the name of Noble Lady Fucha.

Because of her heavy body, Jiang Ruyin simply asked for leave from the Queen. I don't know what the people in the East Palace said to the Queen, but in any case, Zhen Huan no longer had to go to Jingren Palace to pay her respects, and she stayed in her room all day.

After that, he stayed in Concubine Shen's palace for two consecutive days, but it was no longer called Cunju Hall.

Three days later, Borjigit, a noble lady from the Khorchin tribe of Mongolia, entered the palace, but was forgotten after being summoned for one day.

However, Concubine Shen served by his side again and was awarded a plaque by Cunju Hall.

Two months passed in a flash.

Broken Jade Pavilion,

Liu Zhu said excitedly, "Look, my lady, it's snowing outside!"

Zhen Huan looked up, and a hint of joy appeared on her slightly gloomy face.

Huanbi consoled him, "My lady, you've been cooped up in the house for a long time. It's not a big deal since the snow is light today. Why don't we go out for a walk?"

Zhen Huan hesitated, but seeing Liu Zhu also looking forward to it, she nodded, "Okay then, Huanbi will do my makeup for me."

……

In front of the Suiyuxuan Gate,

Huanbi said angrily, "My young master has never been confined to her house, so why is it that she is not allowed to go out?"

Liu Zhu supported Zhen Huan and glared at Yuan Beishan opposite her with a bad look.

Zhen Huan's expression remained unchanged as she asked, "Excuse me, sir, why can't I leave this Shattered Jade Pavilion?"

Yuan Beishan bowed and said calmly, "I've got your permission. Not only can you not leave, but no one else in this Broken Jade Pavilion can leave through this door today."

Liu Zhu's eyes widened in anger, and she was about to step forward to reason with her. But Zhen Huan stopped her, asking, "But what instructions does Concubine Fang have? If so, I will be happy to help Concubine Fang."

Yuan Beishan was a little surprised, then he looked at her with a higher gaze and became more respectful. "The master's affairs are not for a servant to discuss. Please go back first, Miss Wan."

When Zhen Huan saw this, she also had some thoughts in her mind.

As they passed the main hall, Huanbi continued to chatter, "Noble Lady Fang is only a noble lady after all. She only lives in the main hall because she has a child in her belly. Who is she always putting on such airs for? How can her family background and beauty compare to our young lady? She's made us spend so much time dressing and changing clothes in vain."

Liu Zhu has always been outspoken and now he agrees very much.

Zhen Huan looked towards the main hall thoughtfully. Ever since she moved into the Suiyuxuan, the door of the front hall was always closed. Even when the emperor came a few days ago, he went straight to the back hall.

At this moment, the main hall was silent. Zhen Huan suddenly said, "Concubine Fang is almost ten months pregnant."

Cui Jinxi, who was guarding the East Side Hall, came forward and said, "Yes, it's almost nine and a half months now."

She is about thirty years old. She used to have fair and well-maintained skin, but now she looks old.

This was because Concubine Wan was demoted, and the three palace maids in her quota were reduced to two. At Cui Jinxi's insistence, Pei'er asked to leave.

It was supposed to be a personal maid or a young palace maid, but Zhen Huan brought two maids as a dowry. Cui Jinxi didn't know how to comfort her and could only pray that no one would find out.

After hearing Cui Jinxi's words, Zhen Huan nodded and raised her hand to stop Huanbi.

As Zhen Huan expected, in the back hall of Suiyuxuan.

Fu Qiu and Suo Chun supported Jiang Ruyin on both sides as they walked slowly.

Shu Dong was in the outer room checking the clothes, hair, and fingers of several midwives.

Chen Xun actually set up a small stove on the side and started to boil the medicine himself on the spot.

He fanned himself and wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead with his sleeve. He silently prayed, "God bless you, and pray that Concubine Fang will safely give birth to a dragon heir, so that I can escape this den of evil."

After Shu Dong finished his inspection, he glanced at the middle room. Seeing that there was still no movement, he sternly lectured, "Being able to help a concubine give birth to a child is a great reward, as you all know. If the young lady is safe, you will all have contributed. If the young lady is not safe, none of you will escape. As for those traitors, I will not let them go, not to mention the young lady. Just now, two young eunuchs sneaked out, and Eunuch Yuan has already apprehended them. If the young lady is fine, they will be sent to the Ministry of Punishment. If the young lady is not, they will be sent directly to the emperor! By then, it will not be just one person who loses his head!"

The four maids all nodded and bowed, saying yes repeatedly. One of them had a drop of sweat on her forehead and complained bitterly in her heart.

The eunuch who went out to report the news has been captured, leaving him alone here.

If I did that, if the emperor gets angry, there's no guarantee that I'd be able to leave my body intact.

No, my poor little grandson...

Shu Dong naturally noticed the man's strangeness, but he just watched coldly and said nothing.

After a while, Jiang Ruyin felt the pain in her abdomen becoming more and more intense, as if her entire lower abdomen was about to fall down, and she squeezed Fu Qiu's hand.

Fu Qiu shouted, "The young master has started."

In an instant, the entire back hall became noisy.

Meanwhile, Zhen Huan was lying on the couch, covered in her clothes, reading a book, when she heard a woman shouting from outside the window, "What's that noise?"

Cui Jinxi was on duty today, so she stayed by Zhen Huan's side. She soothed her, "Don't be afraid, my lady. The sound is coming from behind. I think Concubine Fang is about to give birth."

Zhen Huan nodded hesitantly.

"Ah!"

"My lord, please push harder!"

"My dear, hurry up! Drink this medicine and try harder!"

Jiang Ruyin's face was pale, her hair sticking to her forehead with sweat. She took a long breath and asked, "Did Doctor Chen brew it himself..."
