Chapter 510: Talking with Concubine Shu
"Master, I was confused for a moment. I will never embarrass Bai Zhi again."
Now that the matter has been brought to light, Cui Jinxi will naturally not do anything useless.
She didn't want to discuss Bai Zhi anymore, lest the clever Zhen Huan discover any clues.
Cui Jinxi then changed the subject, "Master, now that you have followed the Emperor's wishes and moved down from Lingyun Peak, I suspect it won't be too far before you return to the palace."
"Returning to the palace is just the beginning. The road ahead will be extremely difficult. Your Majesty must be prepared. If those evil people in the palace knew that Your Majesty was returning, they would not give up."
Zhen Huan gently stroked her belly, which had not yet appeared, and her whole body exuded a fierce aura.
"The deposed empress being imprisoned in Jingren Palace is nothing to be afraid of. The Guarjia father and daughter will definitely do their utmost to prevent me from returning to the palace."
"However, if the emperor is determined to take me back, no one can stop him."
"I'm not afraid of people causing trouble openly, but I'm afraid of people stabbing me in the back."
"Master, you are right. I heard from Gao Changjin that the two imperial concubines in the harem are at odds. The emperor has recently been trying to promote Imperial Concubine Shu. With her temporarily suppressing Imperial Concubine Hua, we are not afraid that the ruthless Imperial Concubine Hua will make a mistake at this time and send people to Ganlu Temple to cause trouble."
Cui Jinxi gently massaged Zhen Huan's feet and advised with a frown.
"It's just that the Guarjia father and daughter had previously joined forces to attack the Zhen family, and this was inevitably at the behest of the deposed empress. She is the younger sister of Empress Chunyuan. Although we don't know why she was deposed, given the emperor's old feelings for his old friend, I'm afraid the deposed empress won't be able to be moved for a while."
"If you can't do it, then think of another way! My purpose in returning to the palace this time is revenge."
When Zhen Huan thought of the suffering her relatives had endured, she hated the deposed Queen and Concubine Qi to the core.
This time when she returns to the palace, she must find a way to eliminate the two of them!
And we can’t forget Yunli’s revenge!
"Your Majesty, as the saying goes, there is always a way out when you reach the mountain. Let's go back to the palace and then we can plan it slowly."
Cui Jinxi poured Zhen Huan another cup of ginseng tea and made another suggestion in a gentle voice.
"Gao Changjin has been ordered to stay in the mansion and keep in touch with us at all times, so it's inevitable that he won't be able to grasp some important news from the palace in a timely manner. Your Majesty, I heard that Concubine Hui sent you a letter. Why don't you ask her to understand the situation in the harem?"
Zhen Huan sighed softly, "Sister Mei said in her letter that the Emperor values her unborn child and has assigned a very straightforward Nanny to take care of it. She wrote me this letter while the Nanny was dozing off in the corridor."
"Sister Mei would never lie to me. I guess she's having a hard time right now."
"She's struggling alone in the palace, and she also has to take care of Longyue. I'll write her a letter to comfort her first."
"Master, it's getting late now, you should rest first. Tomorrow morning, you will write your reply letter, and I will take it to the city and have Gao Changjin deliver it."
As soon as Cui Jinxi finished speaking, there was another hurried knock on the door.
The master and servant looked at each other, and Cui Jinxi hurried over to open the door.
Jiyun came running in anxiously, "Madam Zhen, something's wrong. Ah Jin came back in the evening three days ago. After the Concubine Dowager took the prince's belongings from him, he remained silent and refused to eat or drink."
"Then take me to see the Toffee."
When Zhen Huan heard that A Jin had returned, she could no longer sit still.
As soon as she entered Anqi Temple, she said to the two people behind her.
"Don't go in yet. I want to talk to the concubine."
Zhen Huan gently pushed open the door, knelt beside the bed, and whispered advice.
"The dead are gone, are the living to follow them?"
She took Concubine Shu's hand and placed it on her belly, explaining sadly in the other's empty gaze.
"I also want to go with Yunli. This way, all my worries will be over. Does the Concubine only want sons and not grandchildren?"
"The child in my belly is still waiting to call the Concubine Grandma. The child has already lost his father. Is the Concubine, his biological grandmother, also going to leave him?"
Concubine Shu rolled her eyes and took a long time to react before she lay on the quilt and cried bitterly.
"My late emperor, you and I only have this one son, and I didn't take good care of him. Now I have to send him off!"
"Yunli, Yunli! You are going to be a father, but you can't see it!"
Concubine Shu caught a glimpse of Zhen Huan, who was also infected by her and wiping her tears, choking and trying to persuade her.
"Huan'er, you are pregnant. Don't be too sad. Stop crying."
She picked up the handkerchief placed aside and wiped Zhen Huan's tears. After wiping twice, she seemed to remember something and threw the handkerchief aside.
"This handkerchief is a little dirty. I'll change it for you."
Zhen Huan quickly spoke out to stop her, "My Lady Dowager, I have a handkerchief with me."
There was a light fragrance on Shu Taifei's handkerchief that Yunli usually used. She must have been afraid that Yunli would miss him by the fragrance, so she considerately said that the handkerchief was dirty.
Both the Queen Mother and Yunli are gentle people.
"You have always handled things properly, but my Yunli is not so lucky."
Concubine Shu held Zhen Huan's hands tightly, with such force that Zhen Huan almost cried out in pain.
Her Yunli suffered a lot, so why could a bitch like Zhen Huan have an affair with the person who stole her son's throne!
The pain in her hand made Zhen Huan's eyes glow again, "My Lady Dowager, you haven't had a drop of water or a grain of rice. Please have some food."
As she spoke, she was about to stand up.
Concubine Shu's eyes swept over Zhen Huan's abdomen and she suppressed the hatred in her heart.
Her Yunli suffered so much just to make this woman hate the emperor, and she must not drag her feet at the critical moment.
Concubine Shu suppressed her discomfort and nodded, then gave orders in a hoarse voice.
"Cumulus, bring in the food."
"Okay, I'll bring it over right away."
Zhen Huan served Concubine Shu respectfully and personally added a cup of warm water to her meal.
After not seeing each other for just over half a year, the indifferent and detached Toffee already had white strands in her hair.
For a moment, Zhen Huan didn't know how to tell her about returning to the palace.
She thought about it again and again and decided to wait until she got the emperor's approval before bringing it up.
Unexpectedly, after taking a few bites of the meal, Concubine Shu asked with concern.
"Huan'er, what are you going to do with the baby in your belly? How about you move to Anqi Temple and I'll take care of you myself?"
"Don't worry, even though Yunli is gone, I, your grandmother, am still here and will take good care of you and your son."
