After Prince Guo was reborn, Zhen Huan became invincible

Chapter 119 Zhen Huan pretends to be weak to deceive the emperor

Zhen Huan knew that only if her body recovered slowly could she stay in Qingliangtai for a full month. Otherwise, if she recovered quickly, she would most likely be taken back to the palace early.

Zhen Huan was about to stand up and salute, but the emperor waved his hand and said, "You just gave birth to a child, don't be tired, no need to salute, just lie down."

Zhen Huan pretended to have a headache and felt unwell. Even her voice became very weak. She said:

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. It may be because I just gave birth to a child and my body has not recovered yet. In addition, I was frightened by the assassin a few days ago, so I feel very uncomfortable all over my body and it hurts a lot everywhere!"

The emperor felt so distressed when he saw Zhen Huan's pitiful appearance. He immediately hugged Zhen Huan tightly in his arms, hoping that this would give her some comfort.

The emperor said to her gently, "Hanhuan, you have worked so hard. Not only did you go to the Baolian Temple to chant sutras and pray for me, but you also gave birth to twins for me. When you return to the palace, I will promote you to concubine, and I will also find out the truth about those assassins and give you an explanation."

However, Zhen Huan secretly cursed the emperor in her heart: "This old man is so annoying. He can just talk, why does he have to hug so tightly?"

Zhen Huan pretended to have difficulty breathing, coughed twice, and then said softly:

"Your Majesty, I can hardly breathe if you hold me like this."

When the emperor heard Zhen Huan say that she couldn't breathe, he immediately let her go and said with guilt: "It's all my fault. I was too excited at the time. It's all my fault that I missed you too much. Please don't blame me, Huan Huan."

Zhen Huan thought to herself: "You are the noble emperor who is above all others. How dare I, a mere noble, blame you?"

But Zhen Huan said softly: "Your Majesty is busy with all kinds of affairs, but he still thinks about me. I am so happy."

At this time, Prince Guo, who was hiding behind the screen, listened to Zhen Huan pretending to be weak and talking to the Emperor. Just now, the two of them were having a great time outside, and she didn't look weak at all. Now she suddenly became weak. He sighed that his Zhen Huan's acting skills were really superb.

"That's good. I was very sad to hear that you were assassinated, so I came to visit you as soon as I had time." The emperor's eyes never left Zhen Huan.

This forced Zhen Huan to pretend to be weak but not to slack off even for fear that the Emperor would see through her.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your favor and for coming to visit me." After saying this, Zhen Huan looked at An Lingrong who was following the emperor.

"Lingrong, you're here. We haven't seen each other for many days. You look more beautiful than ever." Zhen Huan said as she looked at An Lingrong's glamorous outfit. She was really happy for An Lingrong.

"Sister, please don't make fun of me. I was so worried when I heard that you were assassinated. Fortunately, you are out of danger. But you are so weak. What does Doctor Wen say after he examines you?" An Lingrong asked with concern.

Zhen Huan tried to force a smile and said, "Doctor Wen said that I was too frightened and tired from the bumpy journey. I need more rest and I will recover."

An Ling said with some distress: "Sister, you have worked so hard. Doctor Wen is very skilled in medicine and will definitely make you better as soon as possible."

"Well, don't worry." Zhen Huan smiled at An Lingrong and also gave the emperor a smile.

The Emperor saw that Zhen Huan was trying hard to smile at him, and that she must be feeling very uncomfortable. Seeing that the time was almost up, he said:

"Hanhuan, the environment of my old Seventeenth's Qingliang Terrace is good. You should recuperate here. After recuperating for some time, you can return to the palace when you are better. If there is anything you need, just tell Prince Guo. I will order him to do it for you one by one."

"Thank you very much, Your Majesty, for your kindness. Ahem..." Zhen Huan pretended to cough.

"Why are you coughing again? Go and pass the temperature..."

Zhen Huan immediately interrupted the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, that's not necessary. Imperial Doctor Wen just examined me. I just need to rest more and nourish my body."

Seeing what Zhen Huan had said, the Emperor did not insist on calling Doctor Wen again. After comforting Zhen Huan for a few words, he said, "Well, I brought you a lot of nourishing supplements today."

Then the emperor asked in confusion: "I have come to Qingliang Terrace, why don't I see Old Seventeen?"

Zhen Huan still spoke weakly, "I'm not too sure. I seemed to have heard from Jin this morning that the prince went to pay a visit to Concubine Shu."

"Old Seventeen is a filial son. Well, I'll just forget about it if I don't see him today."

Then the emperor continued, "It's getting late, and I still have to read memorials when I get back. I'll be leaving first. Huanhuan, you should take good care of yourself. I'll wait for you to return to the palace."

"Your Majesty, please be careful on your journey. I, your concubine, respectfully see you off." Zhen Huan heaved a sigh of relief: Oh! He's finally gone!

Zhen Huan originally wanted to ask An Lingrong to talk more, but because the emperor was there, she didn't say anything more to An Lingrong.

After the emperor, An Lingrong and their entourage left, they left behind some nourishing supplements.

Prince Guo and A Jin came out from behind the screen only after the emperor and his companions had gone far away.

"It was a close call. Fortunately, Huan'er, you are smart and quick-witted." Prince Guo praised Zhen Huan.

Then he checked to see if Zhen Huan was really weak.

Zhen Huan smiled and said to Prince Guo: "Yun Li, I lied to the emperor. I am fine. If I recover quickly, I may not be able to stay here any longer."

Prince Guo happily hugged Zhen Huan in his arms. He loved her so much. His Huan'er was so good.

In the next few days, the Fourth Prince would come to visit Zhen Huan. Every time he came, he would bring some interesting little toys to entertain her, and sometimes he would chat with her.

He is very good at observing people's words and expressions. Although he is still young, he is very sharp-minded. He soon noticed the unusual relationship between Zhen Huan and Prince Guo.

The Fourth Prince knew that Prince Guo had been kind to him. Not only that, Prince Guo had also privately told him that he would train him well and help him to be loved by the Emperor in the future, and even become the next Emperor.

Therefore, no matter what, he would not betray Prince Guo. After all, from the time he came into this world until now, only Prince Guo treated him sincerely and cared about him. Because of Prince Guo, he also met Sister Caiping who cared about him very much.

For the Fourth Prince, who had been neglected since childhood, such care was undoubtedly very precious.

And Zhen Huan treated him with the same kindness and care, as if he were her own son.

Therefore, even though he knew that there might be an affair between Zhen Huan and Prince Guo, he would not report it.

Gyeongin Palace

Late at night, the Queen had a severe headache. After examining her, the Imperial Physician only prescribed some tranquilizers and headache-relieving drugs, which were only symptomatic treatments and not a cure for the disease. The Queen's headache had been a chronic problem for many years and was not so easy to cure.

She lay on the bed, wondering when Jay Chou would come back to the palace.

Suddenly Lanxiang stepped forward and reported: "Empress, Chairman Zhou is here."

The Queen frowned. She had been waiting for a long time and wanted to know how Director Zhou was doing and what was happening with Zhen Huan at the moment.

"Change my clothes." said the queen in a cold voice.
