TV series: Daily life of male supporting role

Chapter 258: Legend of Zhen Huan - Yun Li 04

The smell of alcohol was almost gone, and Yunli returned to the banquet.

The emperor said nothing when he saw this, but let Yunli watch the show.

This banquet was uneventful. Just when Yunli thought the banquet was over, he did not expect that at the end of the banquet, a young eunuch came to Su Peisheng in a panic and whispered a few words. Su Peisheng listened for a while, his face changed, and he quickly came to the emperor and whispered, "Your Majesty, Concubine Wan fell into the water."

"what!"

The emperor stood up anxiously, and the lower-ranking relatives and concubines all looked at the emperor who suddenly stood up.

Although Su Peisheng's voice was much lower, the Queen and Concubine Hua were sitting next to the Emperor, and they still had excellent hearing ability and could hear what Su Peisheng said.

The Queen and Concubine Hua were delighted.

But he pretended to be ignorant and looked at the emperor who stood up with a helpless look.

The emperor ignored everything, left everyone behind, and asked Su Peisheng to lead the way. He wanted to see Zhen Huan.

Yunli was far away and, like everyone else, had no idea why the emperor suddenly left the table.

When he was confused, he caught a glimpse of Zhen Huan's empty seat.

Zhen Huan didn't come back. Did something happen to Zhen Huan?

As Yunli was thinking about it, he remembered the first time he met Zhen Huan. Zhen Huan was playing in the water. Because the stones on the edge of the pool were smooth, Zhen Huan almost fell into the water. She was pulled in time by him and did not fall into the water.

He is not here this time, so...Did Zhen Huan fall into the water?

Soon his guess was confirmed.

The Emperor was not around, and the Empress and Concubine Hua could no longer sit still after learning that Zhen Huan had fallen into the water.

After Hua Fei and the Queen discussed it, they announced the end of the banquet and the clan members left Jiuzhou Qingyan. The Emperor and Hua Fei took the concubines and followed the route the Emperor had taken when he left.

Yunli also went with him.

Only Cao Qinmo did not go because she had to take care of her children.

This banquet ended in a whimper, and one can imagine how depressed Cao Qinmo felt.

Cao Qinmo was thinking at this moment: It would be better to follow Concubine Hua's plan and make Zhen Huan look bad. If the emperor leaves the table halfway, if this news gets out, someone might say that Wen Yi is not favored by the emperor.

Afterwards, when Cao Qinmo found out that it was because of Zhen Huan, hatred towards Zhen Huan surged in her heart.

When they arrived at Bitong Academy, Zhen Huan was lying unconscious on the bed, with Huanbi and Liuzhu serving her.

Seeing the emperor coming, the two of them knelt down and saluted: "Your servants pay their respects to the emperor."

The emperor looked at Zhen Huan, whose face was pale, and felt a surge of panic in his heart, fearing that Zhen Huan would leave him like Chun Yuan. He hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed Zhen Huan's somewhat cold hand, and started to scold Huanbi and Liuzhu.

Huanbi and Liuzhu endured the dragon's wrath, and their bodies could not help but tremble as they knelt on the ground.

It was not until Zhen Huan uttered a low "嘤" that Yongzheng's attention returned to Zhen Huan.

At this time, Doctor Wen arrived. He felt so distressed when he saw Zhen Huan's miserable appearance. After greeting the Emperor, he took Zhen Huan's pulse directly without using a handkerchief.

At this time, everyone's eyes were on Zhen Huan, and they did not notice that Doctor Wen's behavior was somewhat inappropriate.

After a while, the Queen and Concubine Hua arrived at Bitong Academy.

Some well-informed concubines knew on their way here that it was Zhen Huan who fell into the water, which was why the Emperor was so anxious to come to Bitong Academy to visit Zhen Huan.

The concubines who were at odds with Zhen Huan, such as Concubine Hua, cursed in their hearts that Zhen Huan fell into the water and there was no hope of saving her.

People who are good friends with Zhen Huan, such as Shen Meizhuang, sincerely hope that nothing happens to Zhen Huan.

As soon as Concubine Hua came in, she saw Zhen Huan's servant still kneeling on the ground. She was delighted, thinking that her wish might have come true.

But when she saw the worry on the emperor's face, the joy on her face disappeared instantly.

She looked at Zhen Huan with some hatred, and followed the Queen in paying respects to the Emperor.

The emperor ignored these people.

The Queen knew that the Emperor's mind was on Zhen Huan, and he probably wouldn't even look at these women. She turned to look at Huanbi and Liuzhu who were still kneeling on the ground, and asked sternly, "You followed Concubine Wan out, but why did you let Concubine Wan fall into the water?"

The emperor also looked at the two people kneeling on the ground.

Huanbi stood up slightly, sorted out her words in her mind, lowered her head and explained to the emperor and empress: "The noble lady was originally walking by the pond, but she didn't expect to be tripped by a stone by the pond. The incident happened too suddenly, and the servants didn't expect it, so the noble lady fell into the water."

Huanbi didn't want the emperor to know that Zhen Huan was barefoot when she fell into the water.

What Huanbi didn't expect was that she forgot to warn others not to tell others about Zhen Huan's bare feet when she fell into the water.

Seeing this, Liu Zhu, who was standing by, echoed what Huanbi said.

The emperor was still angry. He pounded the bed and said sternly, "The servant of Wan Guiren failed to protect the master. I will give you 30 strokes of the cane and send you out of the palace. Wan Guiren does not need such a useless servant here."

"Your Majesty, please spare our lives!" Upon hearing this, Huanbi and Liuzhu kowtowed to the emperor in fear and begged for mercy.

The emperor did not look at them, but continued to look at Zhen Huan lying on the bed.

The Queen and Concubine Hua naturally would not plead for mercy. They would rather Zhen Huan have fewer servants whom she trusts.

Just as the eunuchs stepped forward to pull Huanbi and Liuzhu out, Shen Meizhuang stood up to plead for them.

"Wait!"

After Shen Meizhuang finished speaking, she bowed to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, these two are the personal maids of Concubine Wan. Concubine Wan is used to their service. Now Concubine Wan is ill. If someone else were to serve her, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to do a good job. Concubine Wan's health is more important. Please keep them."

The emperor thought that what Shen Meizhuang said was right, nodded, and asked people to release Huanbi and Liuzhu.

Huanbi and Liuzhu escaped the disaster and hurriedly thanked the Lord for his grace and thanked Concubine Shen for her intercession.

Bitong Academy is now full of female members, so Yunli cannot go in and can only inquire about the news from outside.

Coincidentally, he was asking about the guard who rescued Zhen Huan.

The guard was also a straightforward man, and when Prince Guo asked him questions, he told Prince Guo everything that had happened.

Yunli knew that Zhen Huan had taken off her shoes and socks and was playing in the water by the pool. She fell into the water and was discovered and rescued by the patrolling guards.

After listening to this, Yunli fell silent.

At that time, I was the only outsider who saw Zhen Huan's jade feet, and not many people knew about it.

Now almost all the patrolling guards have seen it, and with so many people watching, the news that Zhen Huan was rescued barefoot will probably spread quickly. How will the emperor treat Zhen Huan then?

Concubine Hua, who was the most well-informed, naturally knew that Zhen Huan had been seen barefoot by many men.

This matter can be a big deal or a small one. A woman's feet can only be seen by her husband and family. If others see it, it will damage the woman's reputation.

Hua Fei had a lot of thoughts in her mind. After thinking about it, she felt that it was best to expose this scandal at this time.

She looked around and found that the shoes placed beside the bed were exactly the pair that Zhen Huan was wearing today.
