A Crossover of Film and Television: Miao Miao's Life Transmigration

Chapter 19 The Legend of Zhen Huan: Su Yunyi 18

Yixiu did not stop the rumors at all. In fact, in order to make it more effective, she even took Consort Yi to worship the gods and invited a Taoist priest to perform a ritual.

When she learned about this matter concerning Lady Yu, she understood that it was aimed at Nian Shilan. She also knew that it was nothing more than the work of Zhen Huan and a few others. After all, there were so many eyes in the harem, and she was just going with the flow.

When it came time to pay their respects, as expected, Zhen Huan intentionally or unintentionally brought up the tragic death of Lady Yu. Unfortunately, Su Yunyi completely ignored it, and Nian Shilan was bold and fearless.

As the sky darkened and thunder rumbled, Yixiu knew she had achieved her goal and announced the end of today's greetings.

Su Yunyi walked out and was about to board the palanquin when she heard Zhen Huan spreading rumors and intimidating everyone: "If Yu Shi is truly wronged, even a sorcerer might not be able to succeed. Moreover, Her Majesty the Empress believes that a master should be invited to appease Yu Shi's wronged spirit."

Then, Zhen Huan recounted the horrific scene of Yu Shi being strangled to death.

Su Yunyi interrupted, "Consort Wan, if you ask who Yu hates the most, everyone knows. If you hadn't exposed Yu, the Emperor would have only banished Yu to the Cold Palace, and he certainly wouldn't have sent Consort An to the Cold Palace to strangle Yu. If it's about revenge, the hatred between the two of you is even greater!"

Zhen Huan was speechless under Su Yunyi's gaze. An Lingrong already knew that Consort Yi knew their tricks, so she lowered her head and remained silent.

On the palace road, after Su Yunyi finished arguing with Zhen Huan, she boarded a palanquin.

Suddenly, Consort Li shouted, "Ah! What is that?"

Lady Fucha, who was standing to the side, was startled and stammered incoherently, "It wasn't me, it wasn't me."

Consort Li pointed at a white figure and shouted, "It's a ghost! It's the ghost of Lady Yu!"

Seeing that the effect was very good, Zhen Huan quickly sent Huanbi to invite the Empress over, believing that the timid Consort Li would soon confess the mastermind behind the murder.

Su Yunyi was walking ahead and of course saw it, but her eyesight was excellent, and she only saw that it was a person dressed as a ghost with a rope behind him.

Consort Li started rambling incoherently: "It wasn't me, it wasn't me, it was all Hua..."

Before he could finish speaking, Zhou Ninghai, Nian Shilan's chief eunuch, covered his mouth.

Su Yunyi gave the accompanying eunuch a look, then picked up a smooth pebble from the palanquin, flicked it with her middle and index fingers, and the pebble hit the person pretending to be a ghost.

"Ouch!"

The person pretending to be a ghost fell from the tree and was caught by Su Yunyi's eunuch.

Su Yunyi: "I want to see who's playing tricks. Xiaopingzi, skin him alive!"

When Zhen Huan saw this scene, her face turned pale instantly. She hadn't expected Xiao Yunzi to be so bad at fighting. He had been caught in such a short time. Now she was really thinking about how to get herself out of there.

Xiao Pingzi immediately stripped the female ghost of her clothes, only to discover that she was Xiao Yunzi from Suiyuxuan.

Immediately, Nian Shilan realized what was happening and sternly rebuked Zhen Huan: "Well, you were just lamenting Yu Shi's tragic death, but it turns out you were just putting on a show. Now that you've been caught red-handed, let's see who can save you."

Zhen Huan retorted, "Your Majesty, I was unaware of this either. Although Xiao Yunzi is a eunuch in Suiyu Pavilion, I am still a low-ranking concubine and cannot command everyone in Suiyu Pavilion. Perhaps someone else framed me."

The trembling Consort Li finally realized that it was Zhen Huan playing a trick on her. She shouted, "If it wasn't you, who else could it be? How dare you frighten me! I'll beat you to death, you little slut!"

Nian Shilan quickly ordered a young eunuch to pull Consort Li apart, while Shen Meizhuang and An Lingrong also tried to mediate.

Consort Cao: "Your Majesty, why not send Xiao Yunzi to the Censorate? Once we have the evidence, we can have the Emperor punish Consort Wan."

A short while later, the Empress arrived.

Looking at Xiao Yunzi on the ground, Yi Xiu realized that Zhen Huan's plan had been exposed, but she didn't let Nian Shilan get away with it, nor did she try to hurt Su Yunyi.

Nian Shilan and Yixiu exchanged barbs about the current situation, while Su Yunyi watched from the sidelines. When asked for her opinion, she said either way was fine.

Finally, it was decided to send Xiao Yunzi to the Imperial Prison and wait for the Emperor to return before making further decisions.

After handling everything, Su Yunyi returned to Chengqian Palace with her entourage.

After returning to Yanxi Palace with her entourage, Consort Fucha was furious. She hadn't expected that Zhen Huan had really played a trick on her. She was ready to file a complaint. Although she was the legitimate daughter of a collateral branch of the Fucha clan, the Fucha clan had many talented people in the court, and she was determined to make Zhen Huan pay.

Upon receiving her daughter's letter of complaint, Lady Fucha immediately wrote numerous memorials impeaching Zhen Yuandao.

After the Emperor returned to the palace, he saw a stack of memorials impeaching Zhen Yuandao for failing to properly educate his daughter and allowing her to play tricks and cause trouble in the harem.

I originally thought Zhen Huan was a talented woman who understood me and was quite good in all aspects. I was even preparing to become a Noble Lady in a few days. I never expected that she would violate the palace rules and be so audacious in just a few days.

The Emperor was not one to be unable to distinguish right from wrong. After an investigation, he discovered that Zhen Huan had been playing tricks. He immediately turned pale. He was shocked that Consort Wan was so audacious and ordered her to be demoted to Lady Wan and Xiao Yunzi to be executed.

After the matter was resolved, the harem returned to normal.

The weather has been getting warmer these past few days. Hongxi usually has a lot of homework, and Su Yunyi didn't want him to come out in the hot sun to pay his respects to her, so she let him stay in her courtyard.

They also gave him Su Yunyi's ice so that Hongxi could study in peace.

Hongyan, Hongyu, and Yaliqi are still too young to use ice. Even if they do use ice, it needs to be kept away from the young princes and princesses, otherwise the children are weak and prone to illness.

Sure enough, a few days later, the Emperor issued an edict to go to the Yuanmingyuan Garden to escape the summer heat. He discussed a list with the Empress, which included Consort Wan.

Since the matter had not been exposed, Nian Shilan naturally did not need to have Consort Cao wear a hairpin to alert the Emperor.

Moreover, since both Nian Shilan and Consort Jing had daughters, the Emperor did not pay much attention to Consort Cao's Wenyi, after all, he already had five princesses.

The Emperor seems to have forgotten Zhen Huan's mistakes and still dotes on her. However, Zhen Huan is now just a lowly concubine, and no one takes her seriously.

The Emperor still values ​​Shen Meizhuang highly, hoping that she and Zhen Huan can join forces to suppress Nian Shilan. Nian Shilan is arrogant and domineering, and Shen Meizhuang has the power to assist in managing the situation, while Zhen Huan is favored by the Emperor. This combination is perfect for dealing with Nian Shilan, and Nian Gengyao's influence in the court has grown even stronger.

A few days ago, the Emperor and Empress were discussing palace affairs, with Shen Meizhuang and Zhen Huan also present. The Empress set a trap for Shen Meizhuang, but she didn't pay attention and fell right into it. The quota for concubines was being reduced. Su Yunyi wasn't worried, after all, she was a Noble Consort and had four children. Losing anyone wouldn't affect her. It was a pity for some of the lower-ranking concubines and those of lower rank, who were probably saddened.

Not only that, Shen Meizhuang also cut the amount of mung bean soup served to the palace servants and even gave them half of the mung bean soup in cash.

However, since the upper echelons of the servants oppressed the lower echelons and converted the money into cash, those at the lower levels probably wouldn't receive the money.

Shen Meizhuang had no idea about these intricate details; many people in the harem probably hated her.

Upon arriving at the Yuanmingyuan, Su Yunyi was assigned to the Tantangdang Academy, while Zhen Huan was apparently assigned to the Bitong Academy, which was said to be a place the Emperor used to like to live in.

But Su Yunyi didn't care about them. Once they arrived, she took Hongyan, Hongyu, and Yaliqi out to enjoy the beautiful scenery.

Hongxi also came to the Yuanmingyuan. He was often called to accompany the Emperor and his uncle on outings. Occasionally, he would come to pay his respects to Su Yunyi, who would invite him to stay for dinner to strengthen their relationship.

After that frightening experience, Consort Fucha has always liked to visit Su Yunyi. It's unclear whether it's because she wants to or because of the Fucha clan.
