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

The emperor sternly asked the empress and Concubine Hua to leave and stroked his forehead.

"Your Majesty, please have a cup of chrysanthemum tea to calm your mind." Su Peisheng finally dared to speak and carefully served the tea.

"When the time comes, Her Majesty the Queen remains so calm. It really opens my eyes." Hua Fei's triumphant voice came from outside the bright window.

Su Peisheng carefully observed the emperor's expression, and spontaneously went out to ask the two ladies to return to the palace first.

The Queen left with a flick of her sleeves. She was far from as calm as she appeared. As soon as she returned to Taohuawu, she pointed to the back door and said, "Xiuxia, go find Xiaodongzi! Quick, take the fastest carriage back to the Forbidden City and find my aunt! Ask her to come!"

Jianqiu went to close the doors and windows on her own initiative, but was stopped by the Queen, "Jianqiu, Jiang Fuhai can't stay. He knows too much!"

Jianqiu stared at the emperor. The grievance and toughness she had just shown were no longer there. The distance from the Qinzheng Palace to the Qingliang Palace seemed to have wiped out all her spirit. Her lips were pale and her eyes were bloodshot.

"I understand. I understand everything."

......

The Queen and Jiang Fuhai had only discussed going near Rugu Hanjin in the name of getting something to see if there was any chance. Neither of them had expected that Lin would appear outside Rugu Hanjin on her own.

Jiang Fuhai knew very well what the Queen meant, and taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around, he attacked Lin ruthlessly, but at the same time, his clothes were torn off by Lin.

While fleeing in a hurry, she ran into Concubine Hua, Concubine Wen and others who were blocking the road between Taohuawu and Rugu Hanjin.

Dungeon,

Jiang Fuhai was in a daze, and he realized that he had fallen into a trap. The eunuch chief's uniform, which he once took pride in, had been bitten into rags by fierce thorns and was barely hanging on his body. The rags were covered in blood.

Seeing that Jiang Fuhai was breathing more than breathing in, Xia Qie threatened him harshly, "Jiang Fuhai, why bother? There are too many tortures you haven't seen. It doesn't matter whether you speak now or after you've been tortured."

After Jiang Fuhai signed and sealed the document, Xia Qi knelt quietly in front of the dragon throne.

The moment he smelled the bloody smell, Su Peisheng left the main hall.

While the emperor was reviewing Jiang Fuhai's confession, Xia Qie said, "Jiang Fuhai requested an audience with the emperor. He said he had important news and requested that his life be spared."

The emperor's eyes were solemn, which was different from what the people of Rugu Hanjin said.

He sneered, "Then let me see what kind of news can buy his life."

A moment later, Xia Qi came to report that Jiang Fuhai was dead.

The teacup shattered with a sound.

Su Peisheng trembled and listened carefully to the movements in the hall.

"Su Peisheng!"

......

After finally coaxing Hongxuan, Su Peisheng brought bad news.

"Ruguhan will fully cooperate with the father-in-law, but during this period I want to meet the emperor." Jiang Ruyin said.

"Your Majesty, the Empress and Concubine Hua cannot see the Emperor at this time. It has nothing to do with you. You just need to wait patiently." Su Peisheng advised earnestly.

Jiang Ruyin just smiled and said, "Eunuch Su, you misunderstood. I know that the emperor has been in the Qinzheng Palace these days. Judging from his temperament, he must not have had a good rest. I want to accompany the emperor and take Hongxuan with me."

Baozhi felt a pang of anxiety when she saw the palace maids coming and going in Ruguhanjin that day being taken away in batches by guards in yellow jackets.

Concubine Fang said that she would be able to move freely after the young lady gave birth, and logically she should go to the emperor to make suggestions with the determination to die.

But when she saw An Lingrong, who was finally exhausted and fell asleep in her arms, she changed her mind again.

That day, Ru Guhanjin made a fuss all day and all night, and Hongxuan also cried almost the entire day.

Jiang Ruyin was already very careful, but there were still some inevitable bumps. Fortunately, Hongxuan was sleeping soundly enough.

After all, the purpose of this trip is companionship, not sympathy.

"Your Majesty, you have worked hard all night. I will grind ink for you." Jiang Ruyin bowed gently, handed Hongxuan to the wet nurse, and took the square ink from Xiao Xiazi's hand.

The emperor glanced at her and asked, "Why are you here?"

Jiang Ruyin only showed the emperor her side face, holding the inkstone with her left hand and grinding in circles with her right hand.

"I am afraid that Your Majesty will not tire of doing it alone, so I want to come and urge Your Majesty."

"You've called me a child." The emperor rarely smiled.

Jiang Ruyin smiled but said nothing.

Half an hour passed, and only a small part of the mountain of memorials had been reduced. The emperor looked at Jiang Ruyin, who looked a little melancholy, and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Jiang Ruyin sighed, "Lady Qian cried for a long time after giving birth. She fell asleep when I came. I was thinking about how to comfort her when she wakes up."

Jiang Ruyin paused and looked at the emperor. The emperor then noticed that Jiang Ruyin's eyes were blue and she looked tired.

"Your Majesty, Consort Qian's voice is damaged."

The emperor was silent for a moment. "Noble Lady Qian has suffered a lot. I will compensate her well."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Jiang Ruyin's voice was very weak.

......

Fu Qiu said:

"After visiting Madam An, Her Majesty sent me to inform Concubine Hua. When I arrived at Qingliang Palace, the palace servants told me that Concubine Hua had taken Princess Wenyi and Concubine Wen out for a stroll. I searched around a bit before finally finding Concubine Hua between Wuling Spring Scenery and Wanfang Anhe. After informing her of this, she said she had important matters to attend to, so I returned."

Suo Chun said:

"Madam An and Consort Qian went to the South Chamber to chat. Not long after, she heard Baozhi, Consort Qian's companion, say that Consort Qian was not feeling well. Her Majesty was worried about Consort Qian and was afraid she would upset her, so she went to ask Madam An. Unexpectedly, Madam An hesitated and refused to speak. Her Majesty suspected there was some unspeakable reason, so she asked Madam An to wait in the South Chamber and sent Liu'er to serve her. On her way back, Her Majesty noticed that most of the palace servants had gathered in the main hall, so she asked this servant to go to the various entrances and exits to see if any strangers had entered during the chaos. After that, this servant returned to the main hall."

Yuan Beishan said:

"I was ordered by the Empress to guard the gate. The Empress went out for a while and when she came back she asked me to lead the other eunuchs to guard the gates."

Shu Dong said:

"Her Majesty stayed in the main hall for a while. Seeing that she seemed a little frightened, I persuaded her to leave the main hall first. She then asked me to stay and see if Concubine Qian needed anything, just in case. Her Majesty returned not long after, perhaps an incense stick of time. When she returned, she seemed very worried. She also instructed me to pass on her instructions, telling everyone to use her private treasury freely. If there was nothing, they should take the imperial edict and go to the Imperial Household Department or the Imperial Hospital to get it. I went down to pass on her instructions and went to the north storehouse to get some ginseng and other things, thinking they might be of use."

There is almost no fault in Ru Gu Hanjin's speech. Even if there are one or two slips of the tongue, they are within a reasonable range.

But the more reasonable it was, the more suspicious the emperor became.

For example, the biggest problem is that Ru Gu Han Jin's people insisted that they only saw Liu Er and Concubine Xiao lying on the ground, and Madam An was nowhere to be found. However, Jiang Fu Hai said that he saw Madam An outside.
