Chapter 228 Planning to Leave the Palace
"Zhen Huan's tone returned to calm, as if she was talking about something very ordinary. The emperor's expression suddenly changed when he heard it. What did you say?"
"Your Majesty, I will leave the palace and will never set foot in Zijing City in my lifetime. Zhen Huan's tone has become extremely firm at this moment, and every word she speaks is without hesitation."
I beg you, Your Majesty, to spare my father's life.
"I have never asked the emperor for anything. I only ask for one thing in this life. Please, emperor, for the sake of our past relationship, grant me this favor."
"The emperor stared at Zhen Huan intently. He felt that the person in front of him was unfamiliar to him. But for some reason, he couldn't help but think of An Lingrong in his mind."
"When An Lingrong first entered the palace to serve the emperor, she found out that her voice was similar to that of her old lover. What did she say?"
"It is my honor to remind His Majesty of an old friend. How can there be such a huge difference between people?"
"Because of this, the emperor didn't want to say anything more. He waved his hand and said, "Well, since you have made up your mind, I won't force you too much."
You go back, I will ask the imperial physician to send someone to see Zhen Yuandao?
"Although the emperor agreed, Zhen Huan showed no joy and said again: I ask the emperor to send Wen Shichu. Since you agree to this, it doesn't matter who you send."
"Your Majesty also knows that Wen Shichu is the only person Zhen Huan trusts over the years. I agree to this small matter."
"Zhen Huan finally felt relieved. She bowed her head and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty. I will take my leave." Without waiting for the emperor to speak, she turned around and walked out of the palace."
The emperor looked at the other person's back and wanted to speak several times, but finally he held back.
After walking a few steps, Zhen Huan reached the door. She could no longer hold back her tears and murmured to herself: "Several years of love and time were ultimately wasted, wasted..."
"The voice was so low that it could not be heard. He raised his hand to push open the door of the palace. He was not careful for a moment and fell forward heavily. There was a dull plop sound, and people inside and outside the palace were alarmed."
"Zhen Huan fell to the ground almost immediately after the palace door opened. No one could react. They watched her fall to the ground, and Cui Jinxi's screams followed."
Your Majesty, Your Majesty!
Everyone in the Yangxin Palace was alarmed. The emperor looked at Zhen Huan who had fallen to the ground and it took him a while to react. He called the imperial physician, and quickly called the imperial physician...
.........
Your Majesty, Concubine Wan fell down in the Yangxin Palace and had a miscarriage.
An Lingrong had just placed her last stitch when she received the news, and her brows twitched slightly when she heard Qiufang's report.
"The Queen probably didn't expect that Zhen Huan's unborn child would eventually be miscarried in the Yangxin Palace."
Do you know what's going on?
"Your Majesty, Concubine Wan was pleading for Lord Zhen. She saw a poem on the emperor's desk. Wan Wan resembles you. An Lingrong's eyes were filled with surprise."
I have never worn auspicious clothes in my life, but I have finally come to this point. It is really...
"Before I could open my mouth, Qiufang said again, "Your Majesty, this morning, before the Emperor left the court, Jingren Palace sent a plate of snacks to Yangxin Palace."
The news about Lord Zhen's poor health seems to have something to do with Jingren Palace.
"So that's how it is. Nothing happens without reason. After all, the Queen is worried about Zhen Huan. Thinking this in her mind, with Zhen Huan's determination and knowing the reason why she is favored, she can't avoid going to Ganlu Temple after all."
Is Concubine Wan still in the Yangxin Palace now?
"Qiu Fang shook her head. The news came out when Concubine Wan was moved out of the Yangxin Palace. Someone is watching over Suiyuxuan. I'm afraid this matter is not over yet."
Yes.
Qiufang responded and went down. An Lingrong put down the embroidery frame in her hand and let out a breath.
"When the father and brother have made contributions, the family members are naturally the best helpers for the concubines in the harem. This is the case for Nian Shilan and Zhen Huan."
"But how can this merit remain unchanged? If one day the merit becomes a thorn in the emperor's side, the so-called family will only become a burden."
"Thinking of this, An Lingrong clenched her fists slightly. Fortunately, she had made up her mind early on and had someone kill An Bihuai, who only hindered her father."
"Thinking about it this way, sometimes hatred isn't always a bad thing. Putting these thoughts behind her, An Lingrong thought of Shen Meizhuang again."
"If Zhen Huan really asks to leave the palace this time, the other party will probably be soft-hearted again. Thinking back to the day when Zhen Huan left the palace, I am not overly worried."
"After all, it was Zhen Huan's own wish to leave the palace, and no one would embarrass her along the way to Ganlu Temple. It's just that the other party didn't want to take anything from the palace, including gold and silver jewelry, which An Lingrong couldn't understand."
"But it's true. Zhen Huan has been pampered since she was a child. How could she know now that the hardships of life at the bottom of society are mostly caused by lack of money."
"People have to go through some things before they can understand these truths."
Broken Yuxuan
"Zhen Huan hasn't woken up yet. The concubines who got the news wanted to visit her, but were all asked to leave. Only the Emperor and Yi Xiu were sitting opposite each other in the palace, but neither of them had any intention of speaking!"
"The silence lasted for a long time, and Su Peisheng bowed and walked in. The emperor, the queen, and the concubine Wan woke up. The emperor responded, but for some reason, he didn't want to move."
Yixiu thought for a moment, thinking about the news she received today, and she understood the emperor's thoughts.
"I'm afraid that the argument between the two of them in the Yangxin Palace today was too intense, which is why the other party did not resume his past indulgence towards Zhen Huan for the time being."
"The emperor may not speak, but Yixiu cannot remain silent. She turned to look at the emperor and said, 'Your Majesty, why don't I go and see Concubine Wan first?'"
The emperor nodded and said, "Okay, thank you for your hard work, Queen."
"After hearing this, Yixiu stood up and knelt. The emperor's words were important. After he finished speaking, he turned and left the main hall, supporting Jianqiu and going to the bedroom."
"On the bed, Zhen Huan opened her eyes and stared blankly at the ceiling. Cui Jinxi and Liu Liu knelt beside the bed, but neither of them could persuade the other to speak a word."
"The sound of Yixiu's footsteps startled the two men. They turned around and saw Yixiu. They quickly stood up, knelt down and saluted to pay their respects to the Queen."
"Yi Xiu looked compassionate and waved her hand. Forget it, get up. I'm here to see Concubine Wan."
Cui Jinxi's family members knelt down and stepped back two steps, allowing Yixiu to walk to the bedside. They glanced at Zhen Huan and sighed softly?
"Empress Wan, I know that your child is gone. You must be sad, but you are still young and you can have children again. You should take care of your health first."
"Although Zhen Huan was disheartened, she could not ignore the Queen. She moved her eyes slightly, turned her head to look at Yi Xiu, and struggled to sit up."
Seeing this, Yixiu waved her hand and said, "Never mind, you are not feeling well, so you don't have to move. Just lie down."
Thank you, Queen.
Oh, how did it become like this...
"Although Zhen Huan was wary of the Queen because of Chun Yuan's old clothes, if she held back her dispute with the Emperor, it had nothing to do with the Queen."
After hearing this, I smiled bitterly. It was my fault...
"Forget it. Now is not the time to talk about this. You should take good care of yourself. The emperor is outside. I will go and invite him in."
"Empress, Yixiu's words just got wrong," Zhen Huan said immediately; but she didn't know what she was thinking about, she paused, and then said, "Yes, I thank you very much, Empress."
"Although Yixiu was confused by the other party's actions, she didn't think much about it. She had nothing to say to Zhen Huan."
"Nodding, he turned and left the bedroom. When he returned to the main hall, he found that the emperor had left on his own. Xiao Xiazi saw Yixiu walk up two steps. Empress, Master Zhang Tingyu is here. The emperor asked me to inform the Empress that Concubine Wan of Suiyuxuan will be temporarily in your care."
After hearing this, Yixiu nodded slightly and asked, "Xiao Xiazi, what happened in the Yangxin Palace today?"
"Xiao Xiazi didn't expect Yixiu to ask such a question, and was stunned for a moment. Then he chuckled twice, but didn't say anything."
"Yixiu turned her eyes away, Jianqiu took a step forward, and seeing that there was no one around, she took out a purse from her sleeve and handed it to Xiao Xiazi."
Eunuch Xia, the Queen must know what happened so that she can take good care of Shui Yuxuan.
"Xiao Xiazi scratched his head and took the purse handed over by Jianqiu. I don't know much about the Queen, but I heard Queen Wanfei say something today."
I don’t know what you are talking about?
"The love and time I have spent over the past few years have all been wasted."
Xiao Xiazi was still speaking haltingly, but Yixiu naturally understood.
"He nodded and said, well, the emperor has a lot of things to do, and your master is tired alone, you should go back to the Yangxin Palace as soon as possible."
"Yes, thank you, Queen. I'll take my leave. Xiao Xiazi stepped back and turned away."
"Jianqiu held out her hand to support Yixiu. Madam, I will ask Jiang Fuhai to stay at Suiyuxuan. You can go back to Jingren Palace and rest first."
"Yi Xiu will naturally not refuse. She will naturally not stay in Suiyuxuan all day and waste her time. Let Jiang Fuhai watch over her carefully to make sure nothing goes wrong."
"Otherwise, it will be difficult to explain if the emperor asks about it later. What this means is that Jiang Fuhai should monitor Sui Yuxuan."
"Not long after Yixiu and his servant left, Shen Meizhuang led Caiyue into the door of Suiyuxuan. The emperor and empress did not issue an order to forbid visits, so Jiang Fuhai would not go crazy to stop Shen Meizhuang."
"She entered the bedroom unimpeded. Shen Meizhuang saw Zhen Huan leaning against a soft pillow. She looked pale and had no energy at all."
"Shen Meizhuang paused, feeling a little afraid to move forward. But Zhen Huan felt someone was looking at her. She looked up and saw Shen Meizhuang, and forced a smile on her face. Sister Mei, you are here."
"Shen Meizhuang held Caiyue's hand tightly, took a deep breath, and then let go and walked forward slowly. How could it become like this? I heard that something happened in the Yangxin Palace? Doesn't the emperor love you the most?"
It's no wonder that Shen Meizhuang would ask this, as she herself had already given up on all thoughts due to her pure love for the emperor.
"It's just that after watching the Emperor favor Zhen Huan as much as anyone else for so many years, it's natural to find this situation strange."
"But the word 'favor' in her words made Zhen Huan feel cold. Favor? When has he ever favored me?"
The affection they had for so many years was nothing more than a substitute for someone else. Zhen Huan could not bring herself to say such a thing.
"Shaking my head, Sister, if you didn't come today, I would have asked someone to invite you."
"If you have anything to say, just tell me! Sister, I want you to help me take care of Longyue. Zhen Huan raised her eyes and looked directly at Shen Meizhuang. Sister is the only one I can trust in this palace."
"I just want to believe that my sister is the only one who will truly treat Longyue well. No matter who else she is, I don't dare to believe it at all."
"Shen Meizhuang was stunned by Zhen Huan's words. She didn't react for a long time. It took her a long time to move her mouth. What do you mean by this?"
"It's just a miscarriage, why does it have such a big impact on my body? Zhen Huan smiled bitterly, knowing that Shen Meizhuang had misunderstood her meaning"!
"I shook my head. Sister, I have Wen Shichu to help me take care of my body. I am fine, but... I can't stay in the palace."
What you said makes me even more confused. Aren't there many people in the harem who have had miscarriages? Why can't you stay in the palace?
"Zhen Huan took a deep breath and finally realized that if she didn't explain things clearly, she would probably just waste her words."
