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

As she spoke, Concubine Jing took off the silver hairpin from her hairpin. Seeing the unfamiliar hairpin, Zhen Huan said, "Madam Jing is very thoughtful."

Jingpin smiled, picked up some rice to test it, and found it was fine. She then turned her attention to the dish of wilted stir-fried vegetables.

The silver handle has turned black, this vegetable is poisonous!

Shen Meizhuang was so frightened that she knocked over the dishes. Tears as big as beans rolled down her cheeks as she sobbed, "I have no grudge against her, yet she has tried to kill me time and again!"

Zhen Huan gritted her teeth and supported Shen Meizhuang.

"You are a member of my palace. If you lose your life, I will not be able to escape responsibility." Jingpin became more and more certain. "She used to torture me with such petty tricks in the past. Now, she can't tolerate a woman like you who is obedient and docile just a few more times in bed with her."

Zhen Huan looked at Concubine Jing steadily and sighed in her heart: Forget it, if I can really arouse Sister Mei's fighting spirit, there is nothing wrong with following her wishes.

Thinking of this, Zhen Huan pushed Shen Meizhuang to Jingpin's side and said, "We can't have this meal. Sister Mei, wait for me. I'll go to the kitchen to make you some snacks."

Shen Meizhuang tried to hold Zhen Huan back, saying she wasn't hungry, but Zhen Huan evaded him, saying, "Whether I'm hungry or not isn't up to you to decide. I'll be back soon."

As soon as they left the house, Zhen Huan took off the filigree hollow flower bracelet from her wrist and stuffed it into Cui Jinxi's hand. "Give it quietly to Aunt Fangruo and ask her to help take care of Sister Mei. Then get a tube of black eyebrow liner from my dressing table and give it to Aunt Fangruo. Tell her that she's in the presence of the emperor and her eyebrows won't look good if they're lightened."

When Zhen Huan brought the jujube paste and yam cake and the lotus root powder and osmanthus sugar cake back to Siyi Study, Shen Meizhuang's eyes turned red. The food on the table had been taken away, leaving only a piece of dusty cloth.

Caiyue stood aside feeling aggrieved.

Concubine Jing frowned and looked at herself.

She said, "I don't know Concubine Qian, but I know that a few days ago you and Concubine Wan were begging people for help on her father's behalf. She... well, she's probably afraid of being implicated."

Zhen Huan was puzzled, so Cai Yue repeated her story, "I went to the back to get some water and saw Bao Juan beside Concubine Qian. Concubine Qian usually talks to our young master. I wanted to call her, but she sneaked away. I followed her to the edge of Zaoyuan Lake, but didn't see her. Instead, I found this half-buried object under a tree."

Zhen Huan took it and examined it. It was embroidered with a tiger head on top and a four-clawed golden dragon below. This was An Lingrong's usual embroidery technique, with the tiger head and four-clawed dragon. Concubine Fang's child would no longer be able to wear such a small dress. It was clearly originally embroidered for Meijie's unborn child.

Zhen Huan felt a little depressed, thinking of how An Lingrong had asked Jiang Ruyin last night.

Shen Meizhuang spoke slowly, "She was afraid that I would implicate her, and I accepted it. But I never treated her unfairly, and I was really willing to help her plead with her father. It would have been fine if she had thrown it away or burned it, but she had to let me know about it..." Shen Meizhuang burst into tears as she spoke.

……

……

It is true that Fang Ruo values ​​Zhen Huan's appearance, but she also truly likes her intelligence, studious nature, and the way she deals with people.

After receiving the things from Zhen Huan, he used them without saying a word.

The emperor hurried to see Concubine Hua, who made a few sarcastic remarks. The emperor couldn't summon An Lingrong to sing immediately, so he asked Jiang Ruyin to read a book and he himself went back to the pile of memorials.

Fang Ruo came to serve tea and saw Jiang Ruyin at a glance, and knelt down to her.

Jiang Ruyin is a person who is sometimes straightforward and sometimes scheming. Fang Ruo cannot see through her and dares not show her kindness to her rashly.

Later, she was assigned to be Zhen Huan's teaching nanny, and her focus shifted.

Jiang Ruyin had never painted distant mountains, but she was very familiar with them. Therefore, she saw the difference in Fang Ruo at first sight.

Fang Ruo was caught off guard by Jiang Ruyin's fake smile and her heart trembled.

The arrow is on the string and must be released. Fang Ruo calmed down and warned, "Your Majesty, be careful of the heat."

The emperor glanced at her casually and was immediately attracted. "Your eyebrows are painted like distant mountains."

Jiang Ruyin's eyes moved and she curled her lips.

Fang Ruo replied, "I once painted distant mountains for Empress Chunyuan, so I can also paint them myself."

The emperor had no appetite for tea and put the teacup back.

Jiang Ruyin said coldly, "Aunt Fangruo has such a wonderful handicraft, why did you hide it from me? I have never seen you paint before, but now that I have, I must ask you to teach me how to paint Suochun."

Fang Ruo smiled, and the emperor said, "It's better to wait for a day than today. Ask Fang Ruo to draw it for you now so that you can see if you like it."

"..." Jiang Ruyin lowered her head, and when she looked up again, she was smiling like a flower, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

An Lingrong was not summoned and wanted to go see Zhen Huan. When she learned that Zhen Huan had gone to Siyi Book House, she hesitated for a moment but still went.

As the head of a palace, Concubine Jing sat in the main seat.

Shen Meizhuang and Zhen Huan sat on the left and right respectively, and the three of them were like a three-court trial.

An Lingrong saw this scene, her heart sank, and she pointed it out herself, "Concubine Jing pays respects to Her Majesty... Hey, why is this here?"

An Lingrong pointed to the red satin on the table, on which the four-clawed golden dragon pattern was very conspicuous.

Zhen Huan looked at An Lingrong and explained, "Caiyue found it by the lake behind Siyi Library. She brought it back because she was afraid someone might have dropped it there."

An Lingrong suddenly understood, "So that's how it is. This is mine. Because Sister Mei was framed for a fake pregnancy, Baozhi kept it."

As she spoke, her face darkened. "Baozhi, tell me, what's going on?"

Baozhi's legs were already trembling as she kowtowed quickly, "I am guilty. A few days ago, Eunuch Su came to summon the young lady, and I hastily handed her over to Baojuan. I really don't know what happened!"

Tears were already streaming down Baozhi's honest face. An Lingrong remained silent. She became more and more frightened, and tears streamed down her face.

Concubine Jing couldn't bear it, so she said, "Could there be some misunderstanding?"

An Lingrong finally figured out a solution, sighed, and took the things on the table.

He didn't care about the mud still on it, and stroked it with a look of reluctance, "Sixth Prince is so cute, and the little guy is so smart. I have always been thinking about the little prince in Sister Mei's belly, and I thought he would be a handsome and cute little prince. But in the end, it was calculated by others..."

Shen Meizhuang frowned after hearing these words. When she thought about it carefully, the patterns on it were exquisite and the stitches were fine, which showed that they were made with great care.

Shen Meizhuang said, "I remember that beside you, Baozhi was steady, Baojuan was clever, and there was also a younger girl. This shouldn't have happened. If you were to throw it away, you should have thrown it farther away. Why did you have to throw it behind me?"

An Lingrong was lost in thought, muttering to herself, "But Baojuan has been serving me since I entered the palace, and she's always been diligent and frugal. The last time she heard news about my father, she rushed to tell me."

Baozhi was still kowtowing and begging for mercy. Zhen Huan said, "Lingrong, have you ever thought about this? On that day when your father was convicted, there was not a single rumor in the garden. Where did Baojuan hear it?"

"Yes, yes, my lady, I am truly loyal to you, my lady!" Baozhi hurriedly agreed.

An Lingrong hesitated, "It seems to be like this..."

Zhen Huan just felt something was wrong and was annoyed by Baozhi's nagging.

Shen Meizhuang's eyes were filled with hatred, "That's right! Someone is deliberately provoking us!"
