Can I get to the other side?

Zhen Mansion, backyard.

Today's weather is very sunny, Zhen Mi also came out of the room and walked in the yard to bask in the sun.

"I haven't seen such good weather for a long time."

Zhen Mi closed her eyes and felt the warm sunshine, took a deep breath of the cool air, and a touch of comfort appeared on her fair face.

Since the beginning of winter, the weather has not been sunny. Every day when she looks at the gloomy weather outside, Zhen Mi feels that her mood has become much gloomier.

And because she is pregnant, the Zhen family has been taking good care of her during this period of time, and they have taken very good care of her.

But such a life is really too boring.

Originally, she thought that life in the palace was very boring, but since she returned home, she has missed the palace a little.

At least there are other concubines in the palace who can chat with her, and she can also see Liu Xie, but at home, she only reads books and sleeps every day, and she can't even leave the bedroom casually.

"My dear, it's much colder when the sun melts than when it snows. You should go back to your bedroom first, don't catch a cold outside."

"The doctor told you not to catch a cold."

The maid behind Zhen Mi said nervously. She was ordered to take care of Zhen Mi's daily life. If anything went wrong, she couldn't bear it.

"I'll go back after basking in the sun for a while."

Zhen Mi had long been accustomed to the maid's nagging, and continued to squinting her eyes to bask in the sun, saying without turning her head.

But at this time, a familiar voice came from behind her.

"Little sister, you are so willful again."

Zhen Mi opened her eyes and said helplessly: "I just came out for a walk. I am almost suffocated staying in the house."

The person who walked into the backyard was Zhen Yi. He frowned and said: "What's the matter with death? Don't say such unlucky words."

"Since you are pregnant with the heir, you should take care of your body. How can you still act like a child?"

Hearing her brother's serious admonition, Zhen Mi had no way to refute it. She could only change the subject and asked: "Brother, did you see the emperor in Yecheng this time? What was the emperor's reaction when he learned that I was pregnant with the heir?"

Zhen Mi really wanted to tell Liu Xie the good news in person, but she had to take good care of the baby for the time being. For the safety of the heir, she could not travel a long distance back to Yecheng.

"Your Majesty is very happy."

Zhen Yi replied casually: "Your Majesty said that you can rest assured to take care of your pregnancy at home, and he will send someone to pick you up after the birth of the dragon heir."

Hearing this, Zhen Mi couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Now she is less than three months pregnant, and there is still a long time before the birth of the dragon heir; plus she needs to recuperate after giving birth, so she will have to wait at least a year before returning to the palace.

But for the sake of the child, these are all worth it.

Zhen Mi put all these thoughts aside, and then curiously asked: "Why did my brother come back from Yecheng so soon?"

Wuji County is not close to Yecheng, and it takes nearly a month to go back and forth, which means that Zhen Yi came back after only staying in Yecheng for a few days.

Her mother's funeral has been handled. Logically speaking, Zhen Yi, as the head of the Zhen family, should stay in Yecheng to handle the affairs of the Zhen family.

"Something happened."

Zhen Yi's face froze for a moment, and after hesitating for a long time, he said, "This matter...maybe I need your help."

"You want my help?"

Zhen Mi was stunned for a moment, and then she became alert in her heart, frowned and asked, "Brother, have you done anything that violates the laws of the court again?"

In terms of the current power of the Zhen family, it must be a big trouble for Zhen Yi, the head of the Zhen family, to ask her for help.

Zhen Yi said unhappily, "What do you mean, little sister? When have I ever violated the laws of the court? Am I such a person in your eyes?"

"Whether I have done it or not, you know it yourself."

Zhen Mi did not argue with him, but just returned to an indifferent attitude and said calmly, "Brother, don't hide it anymore, just speak frankly if you have something to say."

Although she usually doesn't pay attention to the development of the Zhen family, she knows that they have definitely done a lot of shameful things behind the scenes.

Otherwise, how could the Zhen family grow to the size of such a behemoth in just a few years?

However, she has always been indifferent to such things, because the Zhen family is her family after all, and she is a member of the Zhen family.

But now that her brother has come to her to ask for her help, she can't help asking.

"Alas."

Zhen Yi sighed, and after dismissing the servants and maids in the courtyard, he said: "Although you are pregnant with the heir, you will give birth later than Concubine Lu."

"So the elders in the clan are worried that if Concubine Lu gives birth to a prince, the position of queen and crown prince may be taken by the Lu family first, so the clan discussed to find a way to help you win the position of queen."

"In this way, even if you don't give birth to a prince this time, as long as you are the queen, you can still be the crown prince if you give birth to a prince in the future."

Zhen Mi was silent for a while after hearing this, and then asked: "What method have you thought of to help me win the position of queen?"

She keenly realized that the problem was here.

The problem was this so-called "method".

Zhen Yi knew that he couldn't not tell the truth, so he said directly: "Your Majesty once promised me that he would enthrone you as the queen, but he has not fulfilled his promise."

"The clan hopes that your majesty can fulfill his promise as soon as possible, so we decided to let your majesty know the attitude and importance of my family Zhen."

"It just so happened that His Majesty asked me, Zhen, to prepare a batch of supplies for disaster relief, so the clan held back this batch of supplies for a period of time..."

Hearing this, Zhen Mi was extremely shocked.

She looked at Zhen Yi with disbelief and said angrily: "How dare you do such a crazy thing? Are you crazy!"

"Your Majesty was coerced by Dong Zhuo, Guo and Li, and Yuan Shao in his early years. The most taboo and disgusting thing is being coerced!"

"You are so audacious!"

After being in the palace for so many years, Zhen Mi, as her pillow partner, knew Liu Xie's preferences and personality very well.

At first, Yuan Shao clamored in the main hall, thinking that Liu Xie did not dare to destroy the Yuan family, but what was the result?

The three Yuan clans were wiped out, with heads rolling and blood flowing like rivers!

Isn’t it enough to have such lessons learned?

Zhen Mi looked at Zhen Yi with a sullen look on her face, staring at Zhen Yi with sharp eyes, and said in a stiff tone: "Brother, if you don't want me, Mrs. Zhen, to bear His Majesty's wrath, then hand over this batch of relief materials as soon as possible!"

"In this case, for the sake of my Zhen family's merits and the dragon heir in my belly, your majesty may not pursue too much."

"If it is delivered too late and many of the people affected by the disaster freeze to death and starve to death, even if I kneel to death in front of His Majesty, it will not have any effect!"

She couldn't imagine how the clan dared to withhold relief supplies. This suddenly touched two of the emperor's taboos!

"It's late."

Zhen Yi looked bitter and gritted his teeth as he said: "My original intention was to temporarily intercept them, but who would have thought that those idiots in the clan would take advantage of my absence to resell this batch of supplies."

"Now His Majesty has sent an imperial envoy to Wuji County to audit the accounts. Such a huge deficit hole...cannot be filled at all."

It's not that their Zhen family can't come up with this batch of supplies, but raising the supplies can't be done in a short while. It took a full two months to raise this batch of supplies.

Now that the audit team has arrived in Wuji County, where can they find time to raise materials to make up for the loopholes?

"You, you..."

After hearing this, Zhen Mi was so angry that she was shaking all over. She didn't know what to say.

How could these people in the clan be so bold!

Zhen Yi no longer concealed his purpose of coming, and said: "The trouble caused by the clan this time is too great. The only one who can save my Zhen family is you, my little sister."

"As long as you, little sister, are willing to intercede with the imperial envoy and ask him to be generous and give you some time, the clan can replenish all these supplies!"

Now Zhen Mi's intervention is the only way to save Zhen.

Zhen Mi is the emperor's favorite concubine, and she is pregnant with a dragon heir. As long as she threatens her with this, what can the imperial envoy dare to say?

What's more, it's just a grace period, but it doesn't mean that he won't be allowed to check the accounts. As long as he agrees, he can get a big favor from their Zhen family and the emperor's favorite concubine.

No normal person would choose to refuse.

"Absolutely impossible!"

Zhen Mi didn't hesitate at all and rejected Zhen Yi's request on the spot, saying with a cold face: "Brother, do you think His Majesty is so easy to fool?"

The error-free version is being read! 6=9+Book_Bar debuts this novel.

"And since my brother asked me to come forward, it means that he has contacted the imperial envoy in advance, and the other party must have rejected any good intentions shown by me, Mrs. Zhen."

"In other words, this imperial envoy is determined to audit the accounts, and the success of this audit will be directly related to his future official career."

"Could he destroy His Majesty's trust in him for the sake of my favor, Mrs. Zhen?"

"It's useless for me to plead for mercy. Instead, it will let Your Majesty know that I want to protect Madam Zhen. Then His Majesty will hate me and Madam Zhen as well."

"Brother, why can't you carry it so clearly?"

Although Zhen Mi sometimes gets carried away by love, most of the time she is extremely calm and rational.

Especially now that she is pregnant and has a child, she has to think more about herself and the future of her child.

Family is no longer everything to her.

Zhen Yi said unwillingly: "All this is just your guess, little sister. Do you really want to sit back and watch the family suffer a catastrophe?"

"If our Zhen family's reselling of disaster relief materials is confirmed, then other aristocratic families will not miss this opportunity to add insult to injury. Everything that our Zhen family has finally developed to this point will be in vain!"

"Without the support of the family, little sister, how can you stay in the holy family for a long time in the future? How can you compete for the position of queen?"

"Brother Wei has never asked you for anything, but this time, for the sake of the family, you must help!"

What Ms. Zhen has done over the years is not just reselling relief supplies. If other things are discovered, then Ms. Zhen will really be doomed!

Looking at Zhen Yi with a pleading look on his face, Zhen Mi's beautiful eyes flashed with a trace of hesitation and struggle, but in the end she firmly refused and said, "Brother, I can't help you."

"If brother believes me, then truthfully confess to the imperial envoy all the crimes I, Zhen, have committed, and then take the initiative to return to Yecheng to plead guilty to His Majesty."

"Your Majesty is a person who cares about old relationships. I, the Zhen family, have served your majesty for the first time. As long as my brother sincerely pleads guilty, your majesty will not punish me, Zhen, too severely."

Zhen Mi's expression and tone were extremely sincere and sincere.

This is her advice from the heart.

She understands Liu Xie, and although she is cold and ruthless on the surface, she is very nostalgic for her old feelings, especially the people who have been by her side since she was young.

Guo Jia, Jia Xu, Zhang He, Gao Lan and others are now the emperor's favorites. Liu Xie's favor towards them is unparalleled by other ministers.

The same goes for her as a concubine.

The number of times Liu Xie stayed in her palace far exceeded that of other concubines, and even the number of times Liu Xie stayed in her palace combined was not as many as hers.

And most of the time he came very late, did nothing, just slept in her bed all night, and often left quietly before she woke up.

It can be seen that the emperor is not just greedy for her beauty and body, but sincerely regards her as a trustworthy pillow.

This is a treatment that no other concubine in the palace has.

"That's ridiculous!"

Zhen Yi was annoyed when he heard this, and said with a livid face: "To take the initiative to confess to His Majesty, wouldn't it be self-inflicted?"

"The reason why the family is causing so much trouble is to fight for you to gain a lower position, but you are so selfish that you don't even want to come forward!"

"That's it! I don't need your help, I'll figure it out myself!"

After saying these words, Zhen Yi turned around and left the small courtyard angrily, without giving Zhen Mi any chance to defend herself.

Watching his leaving figure, Zhen Mi felt a wave of grievances rising in her heart, her eye circles slowly turned red, and tears flowed out uncontrollably.

"Um……"

Zhen Mi sniffed, raised her sleeves to wipe away her tears, turned around and walked back to her hut.

But what she didn't know was that after leaving the small courtyard, Zhen Yi turned around again and looked at the small courtyard with a complicated expression.

"Little sister, you have grown up."

Zhen Yi said softly, with pleased eyes.

At first, he did hope that Zhen Mi would come forward to intercede, but after hearing what Zhen Mi said later, he realized that Zhen Mi was right.

For the present plan, the only way is to take the initiative to confess to the emperor.

Zhen Yi withdrew his gaze, got up and went to the lobby meeting room, where all the elders of the Zhen clan were waiting.

Seeing Zhen Yi coming, they all stood up and started asking questions.

"Master, how is the situation?"

"Yes, Patriarch, would you please come forward?"

"Now I can only count on noble people."

"If a noble person comes to intercede, the imperial envoy will definitely not dare to check the accounts, and I, Mrs. Zhen, will have time to raise supplies!"

"If the noble man comes forward, we will have no need to raise supplies. The emperor will not blame him."

"Yes, the noble lady is pregnant with a dragon heir."

Hearing these words, a trace of gloom flashed in Zhen Yi's eyes, and he said lightly: "The noble lady is ill, and I did not tell her these things."

"But I have decided to take the initiative to confess to His Majesty and admit all the sins that I, Zhen, have committed so far."

As soon as Zhen Yi said this, the lobby fell silent for an instant.

Take the initiative to confess to the emperor?
