Forbidden Autumn, Summer, Winter and Spring Rebirth

Zhen Huan immediately pulled Shen Meizhuang over, whispered in her ear, "Prince Guo has signed a letter with me, and the emperor has ordered him to take back his father, mother and Yu Rao privately, allowing them to return to the capital for resettlement."

"Is this true?" Shen Meizhuang said in surprise.

Zhen Huan nodded.

"In this way, it can be considered that all this effort was not in vain. Huan'er failed to help Uncle Zhen rehabilitate him after all. Otherwise, you would have a chance to return to the palace..."

"Sister," Zhen Huan interrupted her, "Since the day she left the palace, Huan'er has never thought of going back. I didn't leave the palace just because my father was wronged. You know that."

"It doesn't matter if you don't go back, the palace is not a good place after all. But Huan'er, do you know that the last time the emperor was ill, he called out your name several times while sleeping. I'm afraid he will continue to hate you. You Be careful." Shen Meizhuang explained.

When Zhen Huan heard this, she was stunned for a moment. She was a little surprised to hear the word "evil-minded" used on the king of a country, and from the mouth of his concubine.

Zhen Huan smiled helplessly, and whispered, "Sister, you should be careful what you say, and be careful that walls have ears. Now Huan'er only waits for her father and mother to return to Beijing safely, and then she has fulfilled her wish. Although she has escaped from the cage of the Forbidden City, this heavy past, this body The monk's robe, together with the name Mochou, are still shackles given by that person. If he finds a way to escape someday, Huan'er will definitely not waste his whole life here."

"Huan'er, I'm really glad that you can think openly. Since King Guo has accepted this job, it must be foolproof. When Uncle Zhen and Aunt Zhen return to the capital, I will ask my grandfather and uncle to take care of them secretly. Just don't worry." Shen Meizhuang said with a smile.

"When you are in the palace, be careful and don't worry too much about me. You don't know that the place I live in Lingyun Peak is much cleaner than that in Ganlu Temple. Sometimes I even feel that it is a bit like living in seclusion in the mountains and forests." Zhen Huan smiled. said.

Seeing that what she said didn't seem to be a lie, Shen Meizhuang felt slightly relieved.

At this time, Caiyue came to urge him. If he didn't leave, it would be too late to return to the palace. The two reluctantly parted.

Returning to Ganlu Temple, he saw Jingbai standing aside with his head bowed. Shen Meizhuang couldn't help but feel angry when he thought that she might be the queen's person. He wanted to cure her, but he was afraid that she would retaliate against Zhen Huan, so he had to endure it.

It gets dark early in winter, and when Shen Meizhuang returned to the palace, it was already dark and it was dinner time.

When she arrived at Shoukang Palace, she paid her respects to the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager felt sorry for her and spent a whole day running around. She sent someone to Yangxin Palace and was restored to health at Jingren Palace, so Shenmeizhuang no longer had to make another trip.

Staying in Shoukang Palace to have dinner with the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother talked about the recent favor of the concubine.

"Last time, the Ai family said that they would severely punish the concubines and set an example for the harem, but unexpectedly, they were stopped by the queen. Now less than half a year has passed, and the emperor has recovered his health, and yet he lets such coquettish concubines The concubine coaxed her away, but the Ai family heard that the emperor loves to mess around with that concubine the most," the queen mother said coldly.

"Queen Mother, your health is only getting better this year, so don't worry too much. No one in the harem can decide who the Emperor wants to favor. The ministers and concubines can only advise from the side, and they don't dare to do more. I'm afraid of offending Long Yan." Shen Meizhuang said obediently.

"I think Sister Jin must have her own benefits to make the emperor miss her so much." Shen Meizhuang added.

"Benefits? Her benefits are unknown to the Ai family, but the emperor is also a man. Some people do not respect themselves and are willing to treat themselves as playthings. What can the Ai family say? Although the Ai family is the queen mother, she cannot interfere in her son's affairs. "The Queen Mother's voice was full of anger. Shen Meizhuang was a little confused when he heard this. Why was it related to the emperor's affairs again?

At this moment, Aunt Zhuxi stepped forward at the right moment and said, "Concubine Hui is unaware of something. You are not in the palace today. The Queen Mother checked the diary and found out that last night... it was the concubine Jin and Zhang who promised to serve together. "Aunt Ren Shizhuxi is old and feels a little embarrassed to say this at this time.

"What?" Shen Meizhuang was surprised, "What does it mean... to serve the Holy Master together... Is it possible..." Thinking of this, Shen Meizhuang suddenly blushed.

"The Queen Mother has been unhappy all day." Zhu Xi continued.

"Concubine Jin is too presumptuous. Is it possible that she wants to imitate those demonic concubines who have brought disaster to the country? Zhang promised the same. She has only been in the palace for more than two months, but she dared to do such a bold thing. Queen Mother, don't worry, the emperor has never been like this before. , maybe it was... a whim." Shen Meizhuang said with comfort.

As soon as she heard the words "the evil concubine who brought disaster to the country" and "it was never like this before", the Queen Mother's face became even more sad, and she said with a hint of anger, "If the Ai family can't control it, is it possible that the Queen can't control it either? From the perspective of the Ai family, , this is clearly her deliberate indulgence.”

"There is still something unclear about my concubine," Shen Meizhuang said doubtfully, "It stands to reason that when I am favored, I will sleep with you five days out of ten. With such great favor, how come I haven't seen her pregnant yet? It is said that Mr. Qi, who is now pregnant with a dragon fetus, has not been favored for a long time. She was seriously ill a few days ago, and the emperor only visited her a few times before she received the good news."

"What you said has reminded the Ai family, Zhu Xi, tomorrow you will personally take Liu Yuanxian from Taiyuan Hospital to ask for a safe pulse for the concubine. You must keep an eye on the whole process and bring Liu Yuanxuan to ask for Ai's pulse. Return to your family." The Queen Mother said immediately.

"Yes, I obey my orders," Aunt Zhuxi replied.

"Your Majesty, I just suddenly thought of this, and I didn't mean to stir up trouble. You must not be angry. There is no reason for you to be so angry because of a concubine who has no self-respect. It will also hinder the mother-son relationship between you and the Emperor. Points." Shen Meizhuang said Wen Yan.

"The Ai family knows your nature best. The Ai family only hopes that there will be more concubines like you in the emperor's harem, so the Ai family will not worry so much." The Queen Mother sighed.

The next day, Liu Yuanpan followed Aunt Zhuxi to Jingyang Palace to ask for peace of mind for Concubine Jin.

When An Lingrong saw the Queen Mother's sudden visit, he felt a little guilty because of what happened the day before.

It's not that she is bold. On normal days, even if she had the courage, she would not dare to do such a ridiculous thing.

After dinner, Zhang promised to come to her palace to talk. An Lingrong had already received the news that the emperor would sleep in her palace tonight, but this promise refused to leave, and she could not find him.

When the emperor came to Jingyang Palace, he saw Zhang Wenxing and An Lingrong sitting together and talking. Zhang Wenxing was wearing a scarlet flag outfit that night, and his makeup was also exquisite. It was obvious at a glance that he had dressed up specially.

An Lingrong was convinced that it was not good. The incense was always lit in advance, and this time was no exception. Therefore, when the emperor arrived, the incense had already been lit for a long time.
