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

Chapter 40 The Legend of Zhen Huan: Su Yunyi 39

After Guarjia Emin left, the emperor had already become suspicious of Zhen Yuandao, and there was also irrefutable evidence that Zhen Yuandao had taken the daughter of a disgraced official as a concubine.

The Emperor ordered the Zhen family to be imprisoned, and to make further plans after everything was over.

Zhen Huan, who was in the inner palace, received the news immediately. Huan Bi had also been taken away by the Emperor's men. She wanted to go to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to plead for her, but the Emperor refused to see her.

Zhen Huan thought of Shen Meizhuang. Shen Meizhuang was already disheartened with the Emperor, and in addition, she was in poor health. The Empress usually did not allow her to pay her respects, and Shen Meizhuang was still carefully recuperating in bed.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Su Yunyi revealed to Zhen Huan that she had known Chun Yuan. Upon receiving the news, Zhen Huan was greatly emotional and fainted.

Liu Zhu went to fetch the imperial physician, who examined her pulse and said that Wan had become pregnant, and was one month along.

After watching the imperial physician leave, Zhen Huan silently shed tears, touched her belly, and stared blankly out the window.

Liu Zhu said happily, "Congratulations, Your Highness!"

Liuzhu was genuinely happy for the young mistress. Now that the Emperor had imprisoned the Zhen family and the young mistress had been demoted, her pregnancy was a glimmer of hope.

Zhen Huan was heartbroken. It turned out that the Emperor only liked her face because she resembled Empress Chun Yuan. All the affection between her and the Emperor was fake. All the love and time she had spent over the years had been wasted.

Thinking of this, Zhen Huan bit her lower lip tightly, trying hard not to cry, but unfortunately, tears still slowly fell down her cheeks.

But when she thought of her father, mother, and sister, Zhen Huan realized that this child was the last hope of the Zhen family. She knew that Huanbi was her father's daughter and her sister, but she did not expect that Huanbi was the daughter of a disgraced official. With evidence, her father would probably have a hard time overturning the case.

Then there is only one way: she must use the emperor's hand, his favor, and his power to take revenge.

Didn't the emperor like her face? She'll use that face to take revenge.

Now that she's pregnant, the Empress will definitely make a move. Consort Yi has a son, so it's uncertain whether she'll target her. However, Consort Yi doesn't usually interact with other concubines, and it's unknown whether the others have any ulterior motives.

After thinking for a while, Zhen Huan decided to let the Empress take care of her pregnancy. The Empress was already a suspect, and if her pregnancy was not safe, the Empress would definitely be implicated, and the Emperor would not let the Empress off easily.

Immediately, Zhen Huan asked Liu Zhu to bring her paper and pen, and wrote a heartfelt letter of appeal. The letter vividly described the love she had shared over the years, expressing her affection for the Emperor in every sentence. Finally, she stated her request: that the Empress take care of her during her pregnancy.

Upon reading the letter, the Emperor was overjoyed, as if he had returned to the time he spent with Zhen Huan at the Yuanmingyuan Garden. He immediately promoted Zhen Huan to the rank of Consort Wan.

Then, seeing Zhen Huan say she wanted the Empress to take care of this pregnancy, she thought for a while and agreed. In recent years, few children had been born successfully; Zhen Huan's first child had been miscarried, and the mastermind behind it was Consort An, who had implicated the Empress. Having the Empress take care of Zhen Huan this time would clear the Empress of suspicion. If this pregnancy were to end, the Empress…

The Empress received the Emperor's decree, and Consort Qi was also in the Empress's Jingren Palace. Consort Qi's father was the one who impeached Zhen Yuandao, and Consort Qi came to Jingren Palace to talk to the Empress about this matter.

Yixiu stood up, her eyes wide: "What did you say? Consort Wan is pregnant, and the Emperor wants me to take care of her?"

Su Peisheng smiled and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, the Emperor trusts you. When Consort Wan miscarried, there were some rumors in the palace. This time, Your Majesty is here to take care of Consort Wan's pregnancy. The rumors will naturally subside. Your Majesty should not let the Emperor down."

Yi Xiu's angry expression faltered for a moment, then she immediately adopted a gentle expression, seemingly smiling at Su Peisheng: "I will definitely take good care of Wan Chang during this pregnancy."

Seeing Su Peisheng leave, Yixiu's face darkened. She hadn't expected the Emperor to still suspect her. This time, the Emperor had agreed to let her take care of Consort Wan during her pregnancy, just to warn her.

Consort Qi said, “Zhen Huan is really lucky. She got pregnant at this time, so the Emperor won’t punish Zhen Yuandao. He was demoted not long ago, and he has already become a Consort again.”

Consort Qi continued, "My father finally found something to hold against Zhen Yuandao. If Zhen Huan gives birth to the child, won't the Emperor reinstate Zhen Yuandao? Your Majesty, you must think of a way to prevent Zhen Yuandao from making a quick comeback."

Yi Xiu, annoyed by Consort Qi's incessant chatter, said, "His Majesty is wise; he will not reinstate someone with evidence against them. The most important thing now is to suppress Zhen Huan."

Consort Qi said, "What should we do? Your Majesty, please think of a solution!"

After thinking for a while, Yixiu sent Consort Qi back. This matter required careful planning, and Consort Qi was clearly a fool.

After Consort Qi returned, Yixiu sat in her chair and thought carefully. Among the newly entered concubines, Consort Tian had given birth to a daughter and posed no threat. Consort Hui's health was affected by the epidemic and she was still recuperating in Cunjutang. Consort Chun was gone. Consort Xia was not favored and could not see the Emperor more than a few times a year. Consort An was gone. Only Zhen Huan was left, who was always going against her.

Nian Shilan of the mansion has fallen from power. Now she stays in Yikun Palace to take care of the Second Princess. Consort Jing stays in Xianfu Palace to raise the First Princess. Consort Qi doesn't even go out for a stroll anymore. She cares about the Third Prince all day long. Noble Lady Cao is raising the Fourth Princess in Qixiang Palace. Consort Xin acts like no one exists. If it weren't for the Third Princess, she would be completely ignored.

Oh, and there's also Consort Yi. Consort Yi has four children. The Sixth Prince is already ten years old and studying in the Imperial Study. He's even more capable than the Third Prince; he's quite intelligent. There's also the Seventh Prince, the Eighth Prince, and the Fifth Princess.

Thinking of this, Yi Xiu felt a lump in her throat. Consort Yi was a cunning person who usually kept a low profile. When the concubines in the harem started fighting, Consort Yi would hide and make herself unnoticed.

She had considered taking action against Consort Yi's children, but unfortunately, she hadn't succeeded. She had been preoccupied with the matter of Lady Nian, and later, when the Empress Dowager fell ill, she took care of her. After the Empress Dowager passed away, she handled the funeral arrangements.

They're so busy with Zhen Huan's affairs that they've neglected Consort Yi. Now that Consort Yi has gained power, it won't be so easy to bring her down.

Yixiu thought for a while, and then thought of Zhen Huan, who was similar to Empress Chun Yuan. Zhen Huan was more difficult to deal with. As long as that face was there, the Emperor would not let Zhen Huan lose his favor. Now that Zhen Huan was pregnant, it was more important to deal with Zhen Huan first.
