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

An Lingrong was terrified by what happened to Concubine Cheng. After much thought, she asked Baozhi to send the Fu Lu Shou Hundred Knot Gourd Brocade Quilt Cover that she had prepared long ago to Yongshou Palace. However, she found the gate of Yongshou Palace closed and no matter how hard she tried to see it, she was refused.

When Baozhi came back, Baojuan had already sneaked into An Lingrong's room.

"... Concubine Hua is overbearing, and no one in the harem can stop her. I just came back from outside and vaguely heard the palace servants say that there was a big commotion in Yongshou Palace. Please think carefully. The Empress is the master of the harem."

An Lingrong's face was pale, she was wrapped in a quilt, she looked tired, her eyes half closed, and it was unclear whether she heard anything or not.

After hearing this, Baozhi curled the corners of her mouth in an ambiguous manner, and turned her head to see Xiaoluzi peeking inside.

Baozhi frowned, pointed at Xiaoluzi with a warning, and asked him to return the quilt cover to the warehouse. Only then did he stand guard outside the hall calmly.

Baojuan tried to persuade her, but An Lingrong lost her patience and said coldly, "I'm pregnant now, which should be good news. Why are you saying this? Do you think Concubine Hua can't stand a concubine being pregnant, or that the Empress is failing to manage the harem well?"

Outside the door, Baozhi suddenly coughed lightly, "This servant pays respects to Concubine Qiu."

Baojuan's face turned pale as Xia Dongchun's frivolous voice rang out, "I thought you'd become smart in the Old Summer Palace, but I didn't expect you to be so unpresentable. You're already making up stories about the Empress right after you got pregnant. If the Empress knew about this, I don't think you'd dare to flirt with the Emperor again!"

An Lingrong didn't know how much Xia Dongchun heard, but she was sure that she had spoken loudly enough.

So, she stood up and looked directly at Xia Dongchun. "I'm newly pregnant and not in good spirits to entertain Concubine Qiu. I'm being rude. However, if Concubine Qiu insists on twisting right and wrong like this, I will definitely go before the Emperor and have a say."

Her voice was soft, but it contained a power that could not be ignored.

Xia Dongchun left in disappointment.

Baozhi then entered the room and said to Baojuan, "My lady is tired. You should go down and serve her."

Baojuan was in disbelief. It had only been a short time since she last served An Lingrong, and yet Baozhi already acted like a senior palace maid.

Under Baozhi's gaze, Baojuan left unwillingly.

Baozhi twirled the corner of An Lingrong's quilt and whispered, "There is indeed something unusual in Yongshou Palace, but I've already asked Baoque to summon the imperial physician who just examined my lady's pulse. He's a disciple of Imperial Physician Chen, named Lin Jie. My lady, don't worry. Things are different now. The person behind the scenes will definitely take action. I'll be on high alert."

An Lingrong nodded silently.

Concubine Cheng stayed in Yanhui Pavilion. Even with Xia Dongchun there, the Yanxi Palace was still dead silent.

Chunxi Palace is truly different from the past. Cui Jinxi single-handedly blocked Lou Yong'er and Chun Changzai outside. Huanbi got Zhen Huan's promise and her face was filled with a smug smile.

In the inner room, Zhang Mi was taking Zhen Huan's pulse, and the emperor was looking at the intact right half of Zhen Huan's face with concern.

Zhang Mi said, "Fortunately, it's just a superficial wound. Under normal circumstances, a new scar would heal within a month. However, my lady is pregnant, so it's inconvenient for her to take medicine. I will prescribe some warming and nourishing medicine to slowly heal her. It will heal in about half a year."

It would be a lie to say that Zhen Huan wasn't disappointed after hearing Zhang Mi say this, but after all, Zhen Huan was no longer alone, so she accepted this solution.

The emperor sighed, "What a shame for Huanhuan's peerless beauty. However, the heir to the throne is the most important thing."

The emperor looked at her with regret. Zhen Huan forced a smile and turned her head slightly, only showing half of her face to the emperor.

After a brief silence, Zhen Huan's eyes reddened as she looked at the Emperor cautiously. "I was young and naive, so I made mistakes. However, Imperial Doctor Wen's ancestors have been doctors for generations, and he possesses real talent and knowledge. Could you please ask Imperial Doctor Wen to take care of me?"

Upon hearing this, the Emperor, though hesitant, still disagreed, saying, "Zhang Mi is the director of the Imperial Hospital. He has studied and practiced diligently for many years. Even he said so, so it's better to take good care of you. I really don't trust someone so obsessed with money to take care of you. I will let Zhang Mi personally take care of you during your pregnancy. Don't worry, Huanhuan."

In this case, there is nothing we can do.

Zhen Huan turned aside and saluted, saying, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern. It is my great honor to have such a gentleman."

The emperor held Zhen Huan's hand with satisfaction and said, "Huan Huan is very understanding and righteous. I wish I could promote you to the position of concubine right now." He pinched Zhen Huan's chin and looked at her face with heartache.

Su Peisheng came in with a bitter face, while Zhen Huan turned away calmly.

"Your Majesty, something's wrong with Yongshou Palace. The nanny next to the Sixth Prince has contracted an epidemic, and the Sixth Prince has also..."

"Epidemic?! It's winter now!" The emperor stood up without caring about his image and asked in disbelief.

"Well, Concubine Fang asks you to go outside Yongshou Palace. She has something to say to you."

The emperor didn't care about Zhen Huan and strode away.

Feiyan put on her prettiest clothes, put on lip balm, and stopped the emperor at Shou'an Gate.

Before she could twist her waist and slowly kneel down, the emperor kicked Feiyan away, furious: "The palace has suffered two incidents in a row, and you still dare to act so ostentatiously? Drag her away and beat her to death!"

Without waiting for Feiyan to beg for mercy, the guard quickly covered her mouth and dragged her away.

Chunxi Hall,

Zhen Huan covered her face with her hands, a strange light flashing in her eyes, "Huanbi, please write a note for me and give it to Doctor Wen."

The gates of Yongshou Palace were tightly closed.

The emperor slammed his fist on the vermilion door. Fu Qiu's voice came from inside, "Your Majesty?"

The emperor immediately responded, "Yes, I am here. Where is Concubine Fang?"

A light red silk handkerchief stained with ink was stuffed out from under the door. The emperor recognized it as the handkerchief that Jiang Ruyin used to love to use.

"The Empress asked the Emperor to take good care of himself. I still have to go and take care of the young prince..." Fu Qiu's voice gradually disappeared outside the door.

The ink on the handkerchief had long since dried, and the glaring black color had spread out. One could vaguely make out the weak, small-character calligraphy of the writer:

In the 56th year of the Kangxi reign, I first met you; you said that I was a celestial fairy and that this was our marriage destined by heaven.

I married you, and you doted on me with all your heart, showing me a special affection for me. I was worried that you would no longer favor me. Five years have passed, and you have remained faithful to me for many years, making me happy and respectful. My beloved husband, I am so lucky to be with you for the rest of my life.

My wish is fulfilled.

Now I am pregnant and I am always worried.

Whenever I think of the baby in my belly, I feel worried and uneasy, fearing that I will not be able to give birth to a healthy and lovely child.

However, I also look forward to the arrival of a new life. I have longings in my heart and my emotions are tied to two things: one is that I hope my child is born safely, and the other is that I want to welcome this joy of life with my husband. The feeling is indescribable.

In gratitude for your kindness, I would like to exchange the rest of my life for your well-being and the health and loveliness of my son.

I want to know you,

Live long and never decline.

The mountains have no peaks,

The river has dried up.

The winter thunder roars,

Summer rain and snow.

Heaven and earth unite,

I dare to break off with you.
