Chapter 88 Lipin is making trouble
When the emperor heard what the queen said, he was a little unsure. He didn't know whether the queen did it on purpose or really wronged her.
Seeing this, the Queen took advantage of the situation and pressed the issue, "Your Majesty, if what happened to you today happened to you, would you also question your sister for a cat?"
When the emperor heard the queen compare him to Chunyuan, he was a little angry. "Chunyuan and you can't be compared. Chunyuan is the purest person I have ever seen. How can you compare with her?"
After saying this, the emperor was too lazy to even look at the queen again. He just said, "It's better if this matter has nothing to do with you, otherwise I will never let you off easily." Then he walked out of Jingren Palace.
The queen had no intention to listen to what the emperor said next. Her mind was filled with the emperor's words, "Chun Yuan is the purest person he has ever seen." Oh, if Chun Yuan's mind was really that pure, how could she seduce her brother-in-law when her sister was pregnant? If Chun Yuan was innocent and kind, and not tainted by the dust, how could she let the eldest prince catch a cold and no one treated him for three days, three days of fever, and finally died. This is the queen's eternal pain.
After Zhen Huan brought the Seventh Prince and the Third Princess back to the Suiyu Pavilion, she asked the nurse to take the two children away. When Liuzhu and Huanbi were the only ones left in the palace, Huanbi couldn't help but ask, "Madam, I saw that you were somewhat resistant to Prince Guo today, but what happened?"
When Zhen Huan heard Huanbi mention Prince Guo, alarm bells rang in her heart. She looked into Huanbi's eyes, leaned back, and asked calmly, "Why did you suddenly mention Prince Guo?"
Huanbi blushed and stammered, "No, I just noticed that your expression was a little dull today only when Prince Guo presented you with a gift, so I wanted to ask. Since the queen doesn't want to say, I won't ask."
Liuzhu said frankly, "Your Majesty, you may not know that Huanbi occasionally meets with Prince Guo in private. From what I have seen, I am afraid that Huanbi has already fallen in love with him."
After saying this, Liuzhu looked at Huanbi with a wicked smile. Huanbi ran after Liuzhu with a red face, wanting to hit her, but Liuzhu dodged while laughing.
When Zhen Huan heard Liu Zhu's words, her face darkened. Was there no way she could avoid this evil relationship? She had a plan in mind, so she spoke out to stop Huan Bi and Liu Zhu from making a scene.
Huanbi and Liuzhu looked at Zhen Huan's serious expression and felt a little nervous. Huanbi was the first to speak, "My lady, please don't listen to Liuzhu's nonsense. I know that my status is humble and I dare not have any inappropriate thoughts."
Zhen Huan heard what Huanbi said and sighed slightly, "Girl, if you get married in the future, you must marry as my adopted sister, the second young lady of the Zhen family. As long as the Zhen family does not fall, it doesn't matter if you marry into the royal family. But Prince Guo is really not a good match for you."
When Huanbi heard what Zhen Huan said, she was a little surprised. She didn't know why Zhen Huan had such a big prejudice against Prince Guo.
Zhen Huan looked at Huanbi, hesitated for a long time and finally spoke: "The emperor has experienced nine sons competing for the throne and stood out. Look at the lives of his brothers now, none of them is as happy as Prince Guo? How can you think that Prince Guo is a simple-minded person?"
Zhen Huan looked at Huanbi and Liuzhu while they were thinking, and did not interrupt them. The reason why Zhen Huan did not avoid Liuzhu today was that she was worried that this silly girl would be plotted against in the future.
Zhen Huan spoke again slowly, "Besides, I am currently quite favored by the Emperor. Now that Prince Guo is on good terms with you, do you think that given the Emperor's experience, he will suspect that I was the one who ordered you to win over the royal family? Will he think that the Zhen family is too ambitious and intends to rebel?"
Huanbi was really frightened after hearing Zhen Huan's analysis, "Madam, I have no intention of bringing trouble to the Zhen family. I really will not do anything that is detrimental to the Zhen family."
Zhen Huan knew how much Huanbi cared about her father, so she deliberately exaggerated the matter in order to stop Huanbi from thinking about Prince Guo. Based on Zhen Huan's current observation, Prince Guo was not a kind-hearted person. If Huanbi, such a silly girl, stayed with Prince Guo, she would definitely be a fool who would be sold and still help count money.
Zhen Huan looked at Huanbi and Liuzhu with a comforting look, "You two have grown up with me since childhood, and we are as close as brothers. I trust you, but it is true that once you enter the palace, it is like entering a deep sea. Now that I am favored by the emperor, our Zhen family is a big tree that attracts the wind, so you should be more careful about your words and actions. We rise together and fall together."
When Liuzhu and Huanbi heard what Zhen Huan said, they nodded repeatedly and promised that they would pay attention in the future.
Zhen Huan remembered that when she had just entered the palace, Lipin had tried to bribe Huanbi to report her news to her, so she asked, "Has Lipin contacted you again now?"
Huanbi shook her head blankly, "I don't know what happened. After that meeting, Lipin has never come to see me again. I asked to see Lipin several times to make it look real, but Lipin never saw me."
Zhen Huan nodded after hearing this. She was afraid that because she was openly in the same camp as the Queen, the Queen had warned Concubine Li not to have any ideas about her for the time being.
However, Zhen Huan was not in a hurry at all. She had given birth to twins, a boy and a girl. She was afraid that the Queen would soon become restless and put Nian Shilan under house arrest and caused Concubine Fang to have a miscarriage. She was afraid that it would be her turn soon.
Zhen Huan's guess turned out to be correct. The Queen had been planning to target Zhen Huan recently, and she had no idea what to do.
Seeing that the queen was a little worried, Lipin asked tentatively, "Have you encountered any troubles? I wonder if I can help you solve your worries and difficulties?"
The Queen glanced at Lipin and said indifferently, "I see that Xifei is in high spirits now, and I am afraid I can't control her. Do you have any good ideas?"
Lipin thought for a long time, and suddenly thought of something. She quickly leaned close to the Queen's ear and whispered, "Your Majesty, you may have forgotten that there may be someone from our side around Concubine Xi."
The queen's eyes flickered, and she thought of Huanbi, and asked with some concern: "Can you ensure that she is loyal?"
Lipin nodded confidently, "Of course, Your Majesty, there is no one in your palace who doesn't want to climb up the ladder and is willing to be a slave for life."
The Queen remained noncommittal. "If you have a way, you can give it a try, but remember not to implicate me."
Lipin repeatedly assured, "I will be careful and cautious. This matter has absolutely nothing to do with the Queen."
The queen nodded with satisfaction and let Concubine Li return to the palace.
After Concubine Li returned to her palace, she thought for a long time and asked her personal maid Shu'er to ask Huanbi to come over when it was late at night.
After Huanbi heard the news that Concubine Li had told her, she immediately reported the matter to Zhen Huan.
Zhen Huan said indifferently: "Just go if I ask you to go. I believe you."
When Huanbi saw Zhen Huan looking at her, her eyes were full of trust and she was very happy in her heart.
