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

The emperor hardened his heart and scolded, "Enough! I know the right and wrong of this matter, and you know it too. What else do you have to say?"

Hua Fei's lips moved, but she didn't say anything in the end. Her beautiful eyes filled with tears stared at the emperor, trying to gain some sympathy.

The emperor turned his head away from Hua Fei and issued an edict, "From this day forward, you will return to your position as a concubine and sincerely repent. Do not let me disappoint your brother."

Concubine Hua was very disappointed.

Zhen Huan looked at the scene before her, bowed, and said softly, "Your Majesty is wise." Jiang Ruyin also followed suit.

The emperor comforted Lou Changzai, "Take good care of yourself. I will come to see you when I have time."

Then he said to Zhen Huan, "You were wronged by what happened yesterday. I have seen the affection between you and Yong'er. Go back and rest."

Zhen Huan felt mixed emotions, but she could only agree.

After retreating, Zhen Huan called for a sedan chair because of her knee injury and slowly walked to a secluded place.

Zhen Huan bent down and spoke slowly, "Jinxi, do you think there's anything strange about this?"

Cui Jinxi frowned slightly. "How dare you! I feel like the Emperor is doing this on purpose, keeping Concubine Hua in the palace, just waiting for her to make a mistake and reveal her true identity."

Zhen Huan nodded gently: "Aunt, what I think is the same. Concubine Hua has been domineering for many years, and now her brother is arrogant in the previous dynasty. I am afraid that the emperor's move will uproot it."

Cui Jinxi said worriedly, "Then we must be more careful in the future. If we get involved in this by mistake, I'm afraid we won't end well."

Zhen Huan's eyes were firm. "We must proceed with caution, but if it comes to that, we'll have to adapt to the situation. I just hope there will be less conflict in the harem."

That night, the moon was dark and the wind was strong, making it a good time to get things done.

A dark figure ran out of the gloomy and cold cold palace.

He rushed all the way with only one goal in mind, which was to find Zhen Huan and avenge his brother.

At that time, Zhen Huan was sitting in the Chunxi Palace, thinking about many things in front of the candlelight, and had no idea that danger was about to come.

Xiao Nuozi sneaked into Shuiyuxuan silently. His figure was like a ghost in the night. In his hand, he held a dagger that was shining with cold light. The dagger seemed to be stained with his resolute hatred.

Just as Xiao Nuozi was about to approach Zhen Huan and raise the dagger to stab her, Cui Jinxi, who had been serving beside her, noticed something was wrong. She reacted instantly and flew forward without hesitation, blocking Zhen Huan with her body.

Xiao Nuozi stabbed with great ferocity. The sharp dagger pierced Cui Jinxi's shoulder straight. Blood gushed out instantly, staining Cui Jinxi's clothes red.

Cui Jinxi endured the severe pain, tightly grasped Xiao Nuozi's arm, and shouted loudly: "Help, there is an assassin!"

Only then did Zhen Huan come to her senses and looked at the scene in horror, feeling anxious and afraid.

Xiao Nuozi still wanted to break free from Cui Jinxi's obstruction and continue to attack Zhen Huan, but the other people in Chunxi Palace heard the shouts and rushed over. They rushed forward and it took a lot of effort to subdue Xiao Nuozi.

Zhen Huan hurried to Cui Jinxi's side, looked at her injured and bleeding shoulder, her eyes red, and said anxiously: "Jinxi, you, why are you doing this?"

Cui Jinxi smiled weakly and said, "My lady, how can I bear to see you in danger? As long as you are okay, that's all that matters."

Afterwards, Liu Zhu led Wen Shichu and hurried over to treat Cui Jinxi's wounds. The entire Chunxi Palace was in chaos.

At three quarters past ten, Jiang Ruyin rarely persuaded the emperor to go to bed early. The lights in the huge bedroom were turned off, and the room was dimly lit. Only an eight-treasure gourd wall lamp far away from the dragon bed emitted a bright light.

When Huanbi ran to the front of the Yangxin Palace, Su Peisheng was just trying to persuade Suochun to rest. "Miss, take a rest first. I'm used to it and don't feel tired. But Concubine Fang will have a heavier burden from now on. You who serve her can't be listless."

Suo Chun said, "Then I won't refuse any more, so that we won't both be facing a pair of black eyes when the sun comes up. I'll come at midnight to let you go to bed, and I'll call you at 3:00 am."

Su Peisheng responded with a smile. He was still very flexible and easy to talk to.

Just as Suochun was about to go to the west group of rooms, he heard a noisy sound coming from the Yangxin Gate.

The two looked at each other.

"Get out of the way! Our queen has been assassinated!" Huanbi pushed the eunuch at the door anxiously.

"No matter how big the matter is, the emperor has already gone to bed. You have to give us some time to report it!" The young eunuch wanted to report it but was entangled and had no time to spare. He looked worried and turned around to see Su Peisheng coming towards him at great speed.

Suochun took a few steps towards him, lifting the hem of her skirt, no slower than Su Peisheng.

"What are you making such a fuss about? Haven't you seen that the lights are out? You've disturbed the Emperor and Empress's rest. You deserve to have your heads chopped off!" Su Peisheng still had some concerns, but Suo Chun was not polite.

Huanbi opened her mouth to argue, "Our Concubine Wan encountered an assassin, and Aunt Jinxi was injured. You..."

Su Peisheng interrupted immediately when he heard something was wrong with the tone of voice, "Oh, that's terrible. I'll report this to the Emperor right away."

Suochun glanced at Huanbi unhappily, "Be a little more discerning in the future. Do you know how often the emperor goes to bed early? If something happens, do you expect the emperor to catch the assassin for you without calling the guards?"

Jiang Ruyin and the emperor hurried to Chunxi Palace, only to see it brightly lit.

Zhen Huan looked at Cui Jinxi worriedly. She was surrounded by a group of palace maids, and Xiao Nuozi had been subdued to the ground, with several eunuchs holding him down.

The emperor angrily asked, "Who is so bold as to enter the palace and assassinate me?"

Xiao Nuozi glared at Zhen Huan angrily, "Zhen Huan, you committed a crime and killed my brother. My brother was honest and hardworking all his life, but he met the wrong master and died in vain. Today, I will take your life!"

After hearing this, the emperor became even more furious and ordered his men to drag Xiao Nuozi away and torture him severely.

However, Zhen Huan already knew who he was, and her indignation subsided, but Cui Jinxi was still lying on the bed. Zhen Huan looked at Xiao Nuozi with mixed feelings.

Xiao Nuozi twisted left and right and managed to break free from the guards' grip, then pounced on Zhen Huan again.

When Zhen Huan turned pale, the emperor kicked Xiao Nuozi away.

Xiao Nuozi slammed heavily on the hollow carved window and vomited blood.

Without waiting for the guards to come forward, his eyes turned red, he glared at Zhen Huan hatefully, and then hit the wall to commit suicide.

Looking at Xiao Nuozi's death, the emperor was deeply worried. He comforted Zhen Huan with a few words and took Jiang Ruyin back to the palace.

Huanbi hesitated to speak, biting her lip in frustration.

On the way, Jiang Ruyin whispered, "Your Majesty, this matter is probably not that simple. There must be someone behind the scenes fanning the flames. Otherwise, it would be terrifying for a small eunuch in the cold palace to be able to enter the concubines' bedroom.

The emperor pondered for a moment. "Well, I also think something is amiss. Yin'er is smart, do you have any ideas?"

(Some people have reported that the plot is incoherent, and I finally noticed the problem. Because I update 4,000 words every day, if I don’t finish, I will make up for it the next day, such as this chapter. _(??w?? 」∠)_ Then I got lazy and didn’t write it, so I’ll make up for it tomorrow. Those who didn’t notice it can’t see the added plot and think it’s incoherent. Oh my god, I’m guilty. I kowtow to you two, bang! bang!)
