Chapter 409: Meeting the Emperor, Not Interfering in Government Affairs
Zhen Huan closed her eyes, trying her best not to think about these trivial things, took a deep breath, and walked in under the guidance of Su Peisheng.
Whether her and the imperial concubine's plan could succeed depends on whether they can perform today's play well enough to make the emperor feel guilty about himself.
This is also the last resort for me to save my father.
Zhen Huan had a pale face and walked in carefully, holding her big belly.
The emperor glanced at Zhen Huan and could not help but frowning. Seeing that she was about to kneel down to salute, he directly called her up.
"You are in good health now, so you don't have to be so polite."
Of course, although he said this, the emperor had no intention of supporting Zhen Huan, and he didn't even ask her to sit down.
After a moment's silence, Zhen Huan stood up straight as the emperor wished.
"Fang Ruo said that you have been weak and dreamy since you became pregnant. Are you feeling a little better now?"
The emperor looked at Zhen Huan and spoke with concern.
"Your Majesty knows that I have many dreams and am uneasy?"
Zhen Huan smiled bitterly and asked back in an ambiguous tone.
"Your Majesty believes that I am having trouble sleeping, but Your Majesty has not actually seen me having trouble sleeping. Do you believe that I am having trouble sleeping just because of Aunt Fangruo's words?"
"If His Majesty is willing to ask the imperial physician, perhaps His Majesty will not think so."
Zhen Huan looked at the emperor meaningfully and spoke.
The emperor could naturally understand the meaning behind Zhen Huan's words, but he was a little confused. He had clearly ordered people not to tell Concubine Wan, so why did Concubine Wan know about this?
"What do you want to say?"
The emperor raised his eyes and finally set his gaze on Zhen Huan, and asked with a hint of impatience in his tone.
He really didn't like Zhen Huan talking to him in such a tone. He thought that she came here this time because she felt that she was wrong, so she took the initiative to admit her mistake to him.
But he didn't expect that the other party, who hadn't seen him for such a long time, would blame himself the first time he saw him.
"I have no other intentions. I just hope that Your Majesty will not make a decision based on only one side of the story."
When Zhen Huan met the emperor's gaze, she did not have too many emotional ups and downs in her heart. After all, she now saw the emperor clearly. If it were not for saving her father, she really did not want to say too much to the emperor.
If the emperor could really listen to other people's advice, her father would not have been dismissed and imprisoned so easily.
She said all this just to provoke the emperor's anger. The angrier the emperor got because of her words, the more difficult it would be for him to accept the queen's actions, and the more guilty he would feel towards himself and his father.
What she wanted was the emperor's guilt, and this was also her last way to save her father.
"So, how are you sleeping now?"
The Emperor saw that Zhen Huan was showing her true colors and was about to talk about Zhen Yuandao, but he did not intend to continue the topic.
No matter what Zhen Yuandao did wrong, at least Zhen Huan is now pregnant with her own child, and Zhen Huan looks like Chun Yuan. If this child is a prince, he should look very similar to his second prince.
So in order to appease Zhen Huan's emotions, he generously forgave Zhen Huan's offense and planned to send the person back directly.
"I did not sleep well in the first few months, but I have been sleeping better recently."
Seeing that the emperor changed the subject, Zhen Huan did not insist on confronting him, but instead answered the emperor's questions.
She wanted to gain a little sympathy from the emperor by using her own pity.
The more mercy the emperor has on me, the greater the possibility of saving my father.
"In that case, Fang Ruo is not wrong."
The emperor's words were a double entendre. He was not stupid enough to believe E Min's words. If he really did so, he would have dealt with Zhen Yuandao directly when the poetry collection incident came out.
But he still remembered Zhen Yuandao's contribution in overthrowing Nian Gengyao and Yun?, and gave him a chance. As long as Zhen Yuandao was willing to write a poem to blame Qian Mingshi, he would not care about it. But the other party did not appreciate his kindness at all, and instead did the opposite of him.
He felt that Qian Mingshi was pitiful, but wasn't he also pitiful because he was oppressed by Nian Gengyao and others and had no dignity as an emperor?
What's more, he was the Son of Heaven and Zhen Yuandao was his subject. They were the Heaven, Earth, the Sovereign, his parents and his teachers. He dared to disobey such a small order, which showed that he did not have much awe for the emperor.
If Zhen Yuandao is not dealt with, wouldn't it encourage the rebellious and arrogant arrogance of the court officials?
It was not easy to get rid of Nian Gengyao, and he did not want to cultivate another Nian Gengyao, so he had to suppress such behavior. Therefore, he had to deal with Zhen Yuandao severely, otherwise he would not be able to achieve the effect of killing the chicken to scare the monkey.
There has always been a struggle between the emperor and his ministers. If he wants to hold all the power in the world in his own hands, he must control the power of his ministers, otherwise the tragedy of Zhu Ming will be repeated in the court today.
"Aunt Fangruo did not mean to deceive the emperor, but for the sake of their own status and interests, not everyone in the court will tell the truth to the emperor."
The Emperor interrupted Zhen Huan before she could finish her words.
"You have tried so hard to come to see me, but now that you see me you don't care whether I am well or not. Is this just to talk to me about these things?"
The emperor couldn't help shaking his head when he saw the stubborn Zhen Huan. Perhaps he had let her know too much. The harem was not allowed to interfere in government affairs.
There are so many things to know that one's heart becomes wild.
As a concubine, she did not care about the emperor, but was instead concerned about the things happening in the court. This was really against the will of heaven.
"Have you regretted your disrespect towards Queen Chunyuan that day?"
The emperor looked at Zhen Huan impatiently and asked.
"I want to say that I did it unintentionally. Will Your Majesty believe me?"
Zhen Huan looked at the emperor with a disappointed expression, but a hint of expectation flashed in her eyes.
"Whether it's intentional or not, it's wrong. There's nothing to say about it."
The emperor looked at Zhen Huan and spoke in a cold voice.
"It was my fault that I offended Queen Chunyuan. I am willing to plead guilty, but I ask Your Majesty to review my father's case and not let anyone be wronged."
Zhen Huan knelt down at the emperor's feet, looked at him pleadingly and spoke.
"You just said that we cannot trust only one person. I will not believe Emin's one-sided statement."
"But I have seen everything your father did in the Qian Mingshi incident. There is no deviation at all, and I have not wronged your father."
The Emperor couldn't help but sigh when he saw Zhen Huan like this. Although he was angry that she forced him, he still patiently explained a few words to her because she looked so pitiful.
