TV Series: When the Villain Chooses to Stand by

Chapter 216 Yixiu 85

"Chun Yuan was raised to be ignorant of worldly affairs and was not meant to marry into the royal family. If she hadn't met you, she would have lived a peaceful and stable life as someone else's legal wife."

"Nonsense! Chun Yuan and I have a deep love for each other. How can you discredit it with just a few words? I think you are really crazy."

The emperor interrupted Yixiu loudly, how could Chunyuan not love him.

Their relationship has been very good since they got married. Even though there are some rumors outside, he still loves her wholeheartedly.

"Don't make excuses for yourself. She's your own sister. You can be so cruel to her. It's really unbearable."

The emperor raised his foot and wanted to walk out. He didn't want to see Yixiu for a moment.

No one can keep her as queen.

"I'm cruel and not a kind person. You might not be a good person either. You didn't show any mercy even to your own brother."

The emperor stopped walking out and turned back to hit someone.

He could never control himself in front of Yixiu. Those eyes seemed to be able to see through everything about him, and all the shameful thoughts hidden under the majesty of the emperor had nowhere to hide.

Yixiu didn't give in to him and kicked him out.

"presumptuous!"

"Your Majesty~" Su Peisheng heard the noise and was about to come in but was yelled out again.

"Get away from me!"

"What do you want to do? Are you going to rebel?"

The kick was so strong that the emperor was in so much pain that he couldn't get up for a while and could only glare at the other person.

Yixiu looked down at the emperor and said, "I didn't want to do anything, but you insisted on provoking me."

"You can go back and try it. If you depose me, you will not be able to sit firmly on the throne."

After saying this, Yixiu ignored the emperor, got up and went into the inner room.

The emperor and the empress dowager were like crazy. If Nian Shilan hadn't been still thinking about revenge and didn't want to disturb her interest, Yixiu would have directly supported Wen Yi to take the throne.

But this won’t work. Results that are too easy don’t give you any sense of accomplishment.

You still have to avenge yourself.

The emperor, who was left there, stared blankly at Yixiu's departing back.

Having been at the center of power for many years, he has a keen sense of danger.

What the Queen said just now was not a threat at all. He really didn't take her seriously.

Cold sweat broke out instantly.

He endured the pain in his chest, stood up, straightened his clothes, and walked out quickly as if nothing had happened.

We must hurry up and find out what cards the Queen has, and we must also train more blood drippers.

The queen said she didn't want to do anything, but the emperor would not pin all his hopes on the kindness of others.

Chun Yuan, the Queen Mother, Zhen Huan, the Princess... none of them are as important as his throne.

Su Peisheng, who was waiting outside, quickly followed.

He was ready to announce the decree, but no order came.

This time Su Peisheng was really shocked.

He turned and looked at Jingren Palace with eyes full of awe. This was the person he should never offend.

In an instant, Su Peisheng recalled the past few decades.

Fortunately, he has always been cautious and would never offend others easily. He has always treated this person with respect.

The Queen Mother was still waiting for the Queen to be deposed, but instead she received the news that Shoukang Palace was under siege.

The emperor came out of Jingren Palace angrily, but did not punish the queen. Instead, he issued an order not to disturb the empress dowager's rest.

"Zhuxi, have someone invite the emperor. I want to see him."

"Queen Mother..."

Zhuxi was about to burst into tears. Everything was clearly arranged properly, so why was the Queen okay? Had their plan been exposed?

"Our people can't get out. Shoukang Palace is not allowed to pass on any news."

The Buddhist scriptures in her hand fell to the ground, and the Queen Mother felt panic for the first time.

In the past, letting her rest was just a pretext. She could go out whenever she wanted, and she had all the power of the empress dowager.

And now he is completely locked up here.

"The Emperor knew, right? He must have known, but even something as simple as this? He just let it go like that?"

"Let the Queen come to see me!"

"Queen, it's no use~"

The Queen Mother saw Zhuxi's embarrassed expression and knew that there was no chance.

After a brief panic, she quickly regained her senses and realized that as the emperor's biological mother, her life would not be in danger in any case.

She has experienced many ups and downs before, and the final result will definitely be what she wants.

The thing the Queen Mother had the most was patience. Because she had hope in her heart, her health was actually much better than before.

After coming out of Jingren Palace, the emperor devoted himself to official business. He did not dare to act rashly before finding out the other party's background.

He also avoided the queen in his daily life and no longer wanted to step forward from time to time to show off his majesty as an emperor like he used to.

Zhen Huan waited with great anticipation, but what she got in return was the emperor's extremely perfunctory investigation results.

A palace maid was randomly pushed out from Shoukang Palace as a scapegoat.

The reason was also ridiculous. It said that Zhen Huan had been bumped into on the palace road and was unwilling to accept the punishment, so she deliberately took revenge.

Zhen Huan naturally could not accept such an outcome, but she was powerless to do anything about it.

Zhen's mother saw her sulking and felt distressed but couldn't persuade her, but she was about to leave the palace.

Before leaving, the mother and daughter talked for a long time. Zhen's mother kept advising her to protect herself and nothing else mattered.

The emperor had no time to consider Zhen Huan's feelings, and finding a reason was already a way to save face for both parties.

She was already emotionally unstable after giving birth, and her husband, whom she regarded as a supporter, was still like this.

With the departure of Zhen's mother, Zhen Huan became more and more depressed.

Shen Meizhuang and An Lingrong were afraid that she would become depressed, so they often brought things to persuade her.

An Lingrong never understood why these people would be so sad over such trivial matters.

Now she understands that the more she knows, the more she thinks, and she is trapped in negative emotions and cannot extricate herself.

I have given so much and I am unwilling to let go, so I can only compete with myself again and again.

Xia Dongchun is not like this. Once she makes up her mind, she will follow her own temperament.

Nothing could make her unhappy.

"Huan'er, I'm going to speak frankly, please don't take it as an offense."

Shen Meizhuang looked at the pale-faced Zhen Huan and couldn't help wanting to give her some advice. Before coming, she had agreed with An Lingrong that no one was allowed to mention these bad things.

Just say something fun to cheer her up.

She also knew that there were some things she shouldn't say, and as a friend, she had already given enough advice.

If the two had not grown up together, this affection might have been exhausted.

But when she saw Zhen Huan like this with her own eyes, she was really afraid that she was depressed. Love can really cause a lot of harm.

An Lingrong was holding Longyue in her arms, and her eyes were filled with worry as she looked at Zhen Huan.

"You've been in the palace for several years. Can't you see how sincere the emperor is?"

"Longyue has just been born and she's weak. You should also think about the child. What's the point of worrying about his attitude all day long?"

Zhen Huan is not such an irrational person, it’s just that the emotions over the years have blinded her.

An Lingrong also followed suit, "Let's not talk about anything else. Sister Wan really needs to think about Longyue. The Emperor has many children, but Longyue only has you as her mother."

"I don't know why the emperor has been in a bad mood recently. I think there is something hidden that we don't know."

Longyue started crying very appropriately. Hearing her weak cry, Zhen Huan also turned her gaze over.

She took the child from An Lingrong, lifted her clothes and moved closer to her daughter.

Everyone present was shocked and quickly signaled Huanbi to go out and guard.

Zhen Huan couldn't explain what she was thinking. A few days ago, she even began to reject her daughter and couldn't help thinking that these things would not have happened if it weren't for her.

She and the emperor were still a loving couple.

It was Zhen's mother who suggested feeding Longyue breast milk for the first time. At that moment, Zhen Huan felt that this little guy was a baby connected to her by blood.

She didn't know if it was an illusion, but ever since she started secretly feeding Longyue, her body seemed to be stronger than before.

After eating, Longyue fell asleep again, and Huanbi took her to the wet nurse.

Zhen Huan forced herself to give them a smile.

"I'm sorry to have caused you so much trouble again. Sometimes I get tired of myself being like this."

"I know all this, it just takes time. It will be fine after a few days."

Shen Meizhuang and An Lingrong looked at each other and changed the subject.

Speaking of the spices that An Lingrong was good at, Zhen Huan suddenly seemed to think of something and asked Liu Zhu to take out what she had intercepted before.

Since the emperor is unwilling to intervene, she will take revenge herself. She will not endure it in vain.

"Lingrong, you've always been good at making incense. Could you help me check if there's anything wrong with these?"

An Lingrong did not refuse. There was such a person hiding in the harem, and it would be best to find him out as soon as possible.

She picked up the pen and ink and checked them one by one.

"Huan'er, is this the scripture sent by the Queen Mother? Didn't they say it has been sent to Baohua Palace? I wanted to take a look at it a few days ago."

"The palace servants there said that the monk has already left the palace with the scriptures."

This process is in accordance with the rules and no one can say anything wrong about it.

"That day I felt something was wrong, so I secretly cut out a page."

Upon hearing this, An Lingrong picked up the page of the scripture, placed it in front of her and gently smelled the scent on it.

"Sister Wan just felt unwell at the time, but the imperial physician couldn't find the cause, right?"

"Yes, Doctor Wen has checked it out, and there's nothing unusual, but I just feel something is wrong. Other than that, I haven't touched anything else."

An Lingrong thought about it and asked Liu Zhu to bring the candlestick over.

Start baking the paper from a distance. After heating, the aroma originally hidden under the scent of ink will be released.

“That’s definitely the scent.”

"But my sister has only been in contact with it for a short time, so she didn't notice anything."

Upon hearing this, Zhen Huan clutched the quilt tightly. She would not believe the emperor's excuse. Who could use the empress dowager? She was the only one who survived the previous emperor's palace.

"I have no grudge against her, why would you want to harm me?"

Since it concerns the Empress Dowager, no one dares to speculate casually. However, if it was really her who did it, there would be clues that the Emperor chose to turn a blind eye.

Not long after the two left, Jianqiu arrived at Yongshou Palace with the rewards.

The scroll in his hand was the most eye-catching, and he specifically instructed Zhen Huan to open it and take a look.

Seeing the face that looked similar to her own, Zhen Huan was a little confused until she saw the note stuck inside, and then she realized that the person in the painting was Queen Chunyuan.

After Jin Xi's confirmation, Zhen Huan finally gave up.

It turns out that all the sincerity she has given so far is not worth mentioning herself.

I am just a substitute for others.

No wonder this feeling came so intensely and without reason. She was so arrogant as to think that it was all due to her own excellence and charm.

Under everyone's worried gaze, she sat alone all night.

The next day everyone found that she had returned to her old self.

Zhen Huan always has the ability to find a path that suits her best in the worst environment.

The emperor was extremely satisfied to see Zhen Huan, who was even more gentle and docile than before, and he held a full moon banquet for Longyue that was more grand than that for any other princess.

Fu Cha Yixin's handkerchief was almost torn to pieces, but no matter how unwilling she was, she had no choice but to accept the emperor's decision.

Zhen Huan looked at the rewards without any emotion in her heart.

"Jinxi, put the things into the warehouse."

"Yes."

There was no one else in the room at this time. She turned to look at Huanbi and said, "After a few days, I will ask the emperor to recognize you as his sister."

"Would you mind taking advantage of the opportunity when the two princes are choosing their wives to ask the Emperor to grant you a marriage?"

"You've seen everything I've been through. Remember, always put yourself first and don't give your heart away rashly."

After careful consideration, Zhen Huan also realized that she had a family and a daughter, and could not say goodbye to the emperor.

In this case, she must hold the benefits firmly in her hands. She must have one of the sincerity and status.

Tears welled up in Huanbi's eyes, and she knelt in front of Zhen Huan and shook her head.

"Eldest sister, I don't want to get married."

"I can't keep you in the palace. The person who hurt you hasn't been caught yet, and I don't want to leave you."

Huanbi learned a lot under Zhen Huan's supervision, and her admiration for Zhen Huan reached its peak in the process.

When Longyue was still a child and everything was unknown, Huanbi didn't want to leave the palace at all.

"What nonsense! Isn't marrying Prince Guo your long-cherished wish? Don't worry, the emperor is feeling guilty right now. I will definitely pray for a good future for you."

"Prepare enough dowry and marry in style. No one will look down on you."

No matter what Zhen Huan said, Huanbi just cried and refused.

How could Zhen Huan bear to let go of the sister who had grown up together? The two sisters hugged each other and cried again.

Under Huanbi's insistence, Zhen Huan had to give up the idea.

There is always a better opportunity in the future.

The emperor was in a bad mood these days, and Hongshi didn't dare to go up to him and ask for a scolding.

After waiting for a long time for him to feel better, I immediately started to bring up the past.

The emperor was at his wit's end. He beat her and scolded her, but she refused to listen. Concubine Qi still acted like a hands-off boss.

Because of what happened in the harem, the emperor now looks at the simple Hongshi with particular favor.

If he is not smart, then he is not smart. He is not conspicuous in the royal family, and he is a first-class man outside.

After all, he is a sincere child.

"Well, if you want to go, go ahead. But don't delay your studies, and be careful."

"Write back every seven days, recording your experiences and reflections on the journey, okay?"
