The Legend of Zhen Huan: Entering the Palace to Become the Queen Mother

Chapter 398 Testing Jinxi and Hating the Queen

"Thank you, Madam Concubine. I will protect this child well, but I think it is quieter this way."

After thinking about it, Zhen Huan decided to reject Fu Cha Zhixi's suggestion. She wanted to calm down alone and did not want to see the emperor again for the time being.

"I understand how you feel, but as concubines in the harem, we must live well for our family, our parents, our brothers and sisters, no matter how difficult it is."

Fu Cha Zhixi looked at Zhen Huan with a firm gaze and spoke to comfort her.

She said all this not to make Zhen Huan completely lose the desire to fight. She had to stand up and fight the Queen fiercely.

"Your Majesty is right. I won't stay depressed like this forever."

"Thank you for your help today. I will definitely repay you for your kindness in the future."

When Zhen Huan heard this, she thought of her father, mother and sister, and she took a deep breath.

The imperial concubine was right. She couldn't fall down. She had to live well.

"It doesn't matter whether it's a favor or not, I'm just helping out."

"You have to walk the road ahead on your own. You have to figure out how to move forward."

"After all, you are not alone now, and although the queen is under house arrest, the news in your palace may not be kept secret for too long."

"If the Queen knew about this, I'm afraid you would have to be more careful in your life."

Fu Cha Zhixi emphasized one point implicitly in her words: the Queen will not let you, Zhen Huan, go. Once you fall, both you and your child will be in danger.

She had to force Zhen Huan to cheer up and not let her collapse and become decadent as the original plot suggested.

"I understand what you mean, Your Majesty. I will take good care of myself and the child."

Zhen Huan looked at Fu Cha Zhixi gratefully. No matter why the other party helped her today, she accepted the other party's kindness.

One day, return the favor to the other person.

"You have a good rest. I will leave first."

Fu Cha Zhixi realized that he had almost finished talking, so he nodded at Zhen Huan, turned around and left Sui Yuxuan.

After the imperial concubine left, Zhen Huan sent Huanbi and Liuzhu away, leaving only Jinxi.

"Jinxi, I asked you before why you were so loyal to me, and you said it was fate. Now can you tell me why?"

Zhen Huan had some guesses about what happened today. Combined with the various anomalies in the past, she couldn't help but look at Jin Xi and ask this question.

"Is it because I look like Queen Chunyuan?"

Of course, she had already had doubts about this question when the emperor called out the name Wanwan.

"You are somewhat similar to Queen Chunyuan, but not exactly the same."

Jinxi nodded with tears in her eyes, and then quickly opened her mouth to add something.

But these words sounded extremely powerless to Zhen Huan's ears. She leaned dejectedly on the edge of the bed, tears falling uncontrollably again.

It turns out that everything she had was only because of Queen Chunyuan.

And now, she has fallen out of favor because of Queen Chunyuan.

Is this what is called "Success or failure are both due to Xiao He"?

"No wonder Concubine Duan said such words and showed such an expression when she first met me. It turns out she knows everything."

Zhen Huan now recalled the way the concubines who entered the palace earlier looked at her in the past. She didn't think there was anything wrong at the time, but now she thought there were many flaws.

"Five points of similarity and five points of temperament, added together, are enough to make the emperor deeply moved by the young lady."

After a moment's silence, Jin Xi ruthlessly broke the last layer of window paper.

"So that's why you pledge allegiance to me, right?"

"No, no, no, the person you are loyal to is not me, but Queen Chunyuan. It's just because Queen Chunyuan is no longer around."

Zhen Huan wiped the tears from her cheeks with a wry smile. Although she was sad that the emperor used her as a substitute, she was not as sad as she was when she found out that the person Jin Xi was loyal to was Queen Chun Yuan.

Perhaps now she can no longer trust the emperor as much as she did before and no longer put her whole heart in front of the emperor.

"No, my lord."

"I have never served Queen Chunyuan before. It is only because I have received some favor from Queen Chunyuan."

"I chose to be loyal to you because of Queen Chunyuan, but I also believed that you have a good character and will definitely make a name for yourself in the harem."

What Jing Xi said actually meant that she chose Zhen Huan because of her ability, not just because of Queen Chun Yuan.

"To be honest, my lady, after Empress Chunyuan passed away, the emperor's concubines who looked like Empress Chunyuan were not the only ones, and those people have now completely fallen out of favor."

"Moreover, Queen Chunyuan is too kindhearted. She is not suitable to live in this harem. Although the young lady is kindhearted, she is decisive and can accomplish great things. I am just a rare commodity."

Jing Xi compares herself to Lu Buwei and Zhen Huan to Prince Yiren who was held as a hostage. She chooses to be loyal to Zhen Huan only because she believes that she can accomplish great things.

"Now that I have lost my favor, even if I get pregnant, it is still unknown whether the child can survive."

"So maybe it was a wrong decision for you to choose me. I might not be able to regain your favor this time."

Zhen Huan was suspicious of Jing Xi. After all, since she knew Queen Chun Yuan, why didn't she remind her when she was choosing the auspicious dress?

For the sake of her future path, she must test Jinxi's loyalty today.

"I am also at fault for what happened today. At the time, I just felt that the dress looked familiar, but I didn't remember that it was Queen Chunyuan's old dress. If I had mentioned it at the time, perhaps the young lady would not have suffered the humiliation she suffered today."

Jin Xi looked at Zhen Huan and explained guiltily.

Zhen Huan didn't show it on her face, but in her heart she thought carefully about Jing Xi's words.

Since Jinxi took the initiative to bring up this matter, I think the other party should not have any intention of betraying them. What happened today should be just that they fell into the Queen's trap.

After realizing this, Zhen Huan quickly adjusted her state, took the initiative to hold Jin Xi's hand and spoke.

"Jinxi, I shouldn't have doubted your loyalty because of this. Even if you are loyal to me because of Queen Chunyuan, you are loyal to me because of me."

"But the Emperor does."

Zhen Huan couldn't continue. She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, stared coldly at something not far away, and shook her head.

"Queen, Queen, you are really thoughtful. Do you want to harm my child like this?"

"Isn't it enough that you harmed my child once? Are you going to harm my child a second time?"

When Zhen Huan thought of the child who had been aborted by the conspiracy of Nian Shilan and the Queen, she couldn't help but feel a surge of hatred in her heart.
