Chapter 268: Legend of Zhen Huan - Yun Li 14
In the Sui Yuxuan, Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang looked pale and looked blankly at the bleak autumn scenery outside, not knowing what their future would be like.
One month after Zhen Huan had confined Cui Jinxi to her home, that is, now, she received a secret letter from her old master.
The content of the letter was to ask her to be transferred away from Zhen Huan as soon as possible and continue to lurk in the palace. If her master did not ask her to do anything when she reached the age to leave the palace, she could leave the palace on her own, as her master had already arranged a place for her outside the palace.
After reading the letter, Cui Jinxi placed it on the candle flame and burned it.
She felt inexplicably nervous, as if something big was about to happen in the palace.
She didn't know what had happened to her old master that made him want to transfer her away from Zhen Huan, even though he had previously carefully arranged for her to be by Zhen Huan's side.
Could it be that her master knew what Zhen Huan had done during this period, and knew that Zhen Huan was disliked and useless by the emperor, so she asked her to leave Zhen Huan, a useless chess piece?
Cui Jinxi is also very conflicted now. She doesn't know whether she should give up Zhen Huan.
She had previously seen the ambition to rise to a high position hidden beneath Zhen Huan's cold appearance. She was a smart and ambitious woman, and her face resembled the emperor's beloved.
No matter how you look at it, as long as Zhen Huan doesn't commit suicide, she will definitely reach the position she wants. And as the aunt in charge of Zhen Huan, when Zhen Huan reaches that position, she will also have the appearance she wants.
What a pity. No one knows what Zhen Huan had done to offend the emperor during this period, and he demoted Zhen Huan again and again.
And because of Zhen Huan's face that resembled Queen Chun Yuan, the emperor regained his favor with her again and again.
What's funny is that Zhen Huan used to say that it would take a long time to serve the emperor with her beauty, but now she can only rely on her looks to keep the emperor.
Of course, Zhen Huan doesn’t know yet that in the emperor’s eyes, she is just a substitute for Queen Chun Yuan.
Cui Jinxi looked at the two rather taciturn ladies and sighed, wondering when Zhen Huan would regain her favor again.
At this time, Doctor Wen from the Imperial Hospital came over to check the pulse of the two.
There was an epidemic in the palace before, and the epidemic was particularly serious in the residences of some unfavored concubines. Even after the epidemic was over, those remote places still had the epidemic. At that time, everyone subconsciously avoided those places for disinfection, which led to a near recurrence of the epidemic.
Later, in order to prevent this from happening again, the Queen ordered people to disinfect all places, even the residences of concubines who were under house arrest and were not allowed to leave.
Therefore, although Zhen Huan and the others were under house arrest, they could still check their pulse once a month.
This is also Zhen Huan’s only connection with the outside world now.
The last time Imperial Doctor Wen saw Zhen Huan, Zhen Huan had just returned to the palace. He himself had been sent out of the palace to treat an old man and was not in the Imperial Hospital.
This also led to Wen Shichu not being around when Zhen Huan wanted to ask him for help.
When Wen Shichu returned to the Imperial Hospital and learned that Zhen Huan had sent someone to look for him but he was not there, he felt very remorseful and worried about Zhen Huan's situation.
Now the time has come to check the pulse of the two young ladies who are under house arrest. Wen Shichu volunteered to go to Suiyuxuan to check the pulse of the two young ladies.
Because Zhen Huan was under house arrest, the imperial physicians earned little from them, and not many people were willing to go to the palace that was like a cold palace.
Wen Shichu volunteered and no one stopped him. However, a few imperial doctors were curious about the relationship between Wen Shichu and Zhen Huan. After all, Zhen Huan seemed to call Wen Shichu every time she asked for an imperial doctor.
Among them were the brothers Jiang Cheng and Jiang Shen, who were trusted aides of Concubine Hua placed in the Imperial Medical Bureau.
The two told Concubine Hua that Zhen Huan and Wen Shichu seemed to have a close relationship.
Concubine Hua was overjoyed and immediately wrote a letter to her brother, asking him to check the relationship between Wen Shichu and Zhen Huan when they were outside the palace.
Nian Gengyao was very concerned about his sister's request and immediately sent someone to investigate.
Soon, it was revealed that Wen Shichu had publicly confessed his love to Zhen Huan before the selection, but Zhen Huan politely rejected him. Nian Gengyao also wrote about Zhen Huan's wish in front of Buddha to marry the best man in the world in his reply to Concubine Hua.
When Concubine Hua knew these things, she felt indescribably happy.
Concubine Hua looked at the letter with pride, and said viciously in the direction of Sui Yuxuan: "Zhen Huan, I wonder how you can escape this time."
Just like that, when Wen Shichu had just promised Zhen Huan that he would find someone to use his connections to make Zhen Huan's life easier, Concubine Hua, along with the Emperor, Empress, and all the concubines who could be named in the harem, hurried to Sui Yuxuan in a mighty procession.
After Wen Shichu said those words, Zhen Huan looked pitiful and thanked Wen Shichu for his kindness. However, Wen Shichu couldn't bear to see Zhen Huan cry, so he couldn't control himself and walked forward to hold Zhen Huan's hand, telling her not to be so sad and that life would be better in the future.
Zhen Huan did not break free from Wen Shichu's hand, but continued to look at Wen Shichu pitifully and shouted, "Brother Shichu!"
At this time, the servants in Sui Yuxuan did not serve their master wholeheartedly, but were too lazy to go play elsewhere. Therefore, Zhen Huan and Wen Shichu who were inside were unaware of the fact that Concubine Hua brought people to Sui Yuxuan.
It was not until the emperor kicked open the door and saw Zhen Huan and Wen Shichu holding hands tightly that his eyes became cold.
The way he looked at Zhen Huan and Wen Shichu was as if he was looking at something dirty.
Seeing this, Concubine Hua's eyes became even more proud. She could already foresee how miserable the current situation would be from tomorrow.
The Queen's expression was the same as the Emperor's. She looked at Zhen Huan and Wen Shichu as if they were looking at something dirty.
She still felt a little happy in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face.
Zhen Huan colluded with the imperial physician to give and take secrets, which was a taboo in the palace. If the emperor still favored Zhen Huan, not only would the people in the harem protest, but the news would get to the previous dynasty, and those pedantic old ministers of the previous dynasty would be able to drown him with just a spit.
Similarly, Concubine Hua who revealed all this would also cause the Emperor's dissatisfaction. By then, Concubine Hua and Zhen Huan, the two people that the Queen hates, would be despised by the Emperor. She would be happy to eat a few more bites of food, and her headache would be cured.
The other concubines had different thoughts and most of them just watched the fun.
When the Emperor heard Concubine Hua say that Zhen Huan and the Imperial Physician Wen Shichu had a secret relationship, he didn't believe it.
When I arrived at Sui Yuxuan, I still felt that Zhen Huan was not that kind of person. Now it seems that I was too suspicious.
The tone of "Brother Shichu" that Zhen Huan called out was exactly the same as the one she used to call him "Silang".
It was because of this that the emperor was so angry that he kicked the door open.
