Chapter 405: Zhen Huan is uneasy and wants to know the truth
On this side, Zhen Huan originally thought that the emperor would wait a little while even if he wanted to punish her father because of her pregnancy.
In addition, she thought that she had already delivered the news to her family in advance, and her father would probably be a little more submissive when he learned that she was pregnant.
So after she found out that she was eight months pregnant, she was always thinking about her mother entering the palace.
But no matter who she asked, no one could give her an answer, and there was naturally no sign of her mother entering the palace. All these unusual things made Zhen Huan keenly aware that something must have gone wrong at home.
After all, she is pregnant now, and the emperor will not make things difficult for her for the sake of the child, so the abnormal situation can only be happening outside the palace.
"Last time, Su Peisheng came to pass on a message, and he also reminded me that the weather was cold, so I should go out less to relax."
The more Zhen Huan talked, the more she felt something was wrong. Could it be that they didn't let her go out because they didn't want her to hear any news?
Thinking of what the imperial concubine had told her before, Zhen Huan became more and more uneasy.
"Jinxi, I always feel a little uneasy in my heart. Can you go out for a walk with me?"
Zhen Huan planned to go to the Imperial Concubine's palace to inquire about the situation. She thought that the Imperial Concubine should know more information than her. After all, the Imperial Concubine's brother was a royal guard.
You know, the Queen is extremely reluctant to see herself give birth to this child, but due to the current situation the Queen has no way to do it to herself. But this does not mean that the Queen has no other means.
After all, it was the Queen who instructed Guaerjia Emin to mess with the poetry collection, so it is possible that the Queen would take action outside the palace at this time.
"My lady, your belly is so big, let's not go out."
Jin Xi looked at Zhen Huan with some concern and spoke.
"I want to go to the Imperial Concubine's palace and ask her if she knows how my father is doing now. My mother hasn't been to the palace for a long time. Is there something wrong at home?"
Zhen Huan pursed her lips, worry evident in her eyes.
"But."
Jin Xi was a little worried. After all, there were people guarding inside the Shuiyuxuan, which made it much safer than outside.
"Jinxi, if I don't ask clearly, I will always be worried, which will be bad for the child."
"Don't worry, I will take good care of the child."
Zhen Huan looked at Jin Xi earnestly and spoke.
"In that case, I will accompany you for a walk."
After hesitating for a while, Jin Xi nodded and agreed to this matter.
If nothing goes wrong, then everything will be fine.
If something really happens, it is better to know about it in advance than to be told suddenly without being mentally prepared.
When the two of them walked to the door together, the eunuchs symbolically tried to stop them, but after Zhen Huan said that she wanted to go out and relax, the eunuchs looked at each other and tried to stop her at first, but after a few threats from Zhen Huan, they chose to let Zhen Huan go.
This made Jinxi a little puzzled. Why was the eunuch guarding the gate so easy to talk to today?
In the past, if the young master wanted to go out, she had to be accompanied by Aunt Fangruo, otherwise these eunuchs would not allow anyone inside to go out. But today, they let her go without saying a word.
"My lady, how could this eunuch let us out so easily? Is there something fishy going on here?"
Jin Xi leaned close to Zhen Huan's ear and whispered in a worried tone.
"I can't care about so much now. I just want to go to the Imperial Concubine's Palace as soon as possible to ask for clarification."
Zhen Huan naturally noticed that something was wrong with the eunuch in charge, but she couldn't care less at the moment.
All signs told her that something was most likely wrong at home.
So she knew that this was most likely a trap set up by the Queen, but in order to find out the truth, she still decided to give it a try.
On this side, Fu Cha Zhixi did know that Zhen Yuandao had been dismissed from his post and imprisoned, and he couldn't help but frown.
The emperor is now old and can't distinguish right from wrong. He actually believed Guaerjia Emin's lies despite the obvious instigation.
Of course, Zhen Yuandao is not a normal person.
This is the emperor. As a subject, you want to go against the emperor. Isn't this a clear challenge to the emperor's imperial power? Who can tolerate this?
The last people to do this were Nian Gengyao and Yun?.
This incident happened not long ago, so the emperor naturally disliked such people, so it was not surprising that he attacked Zhen Yuandao despite the fact that Zhen Huan was pregnant.
Besides, she had clearly reminded Zhen Huan in advance, and Zhen Huan had also sent letters to her family, but Zhen Yuandao was still stubborn and refused to admit defeat.
He did earn the reputation of being an upright and loyal minister, but he brought great harm to Zhen Huan and her mother, sister and other female relatives. What did they do wrong?
Therefore, Fu Cha Zhixi looked down upon people like Zhen Yuandao. In her opinion, Zhen Yuandao was a person who was seeking fame and reputation.
If he opposed the emperor in this way because of some major issue for the country and the people, it would be understandable, but there was really no need to do so just for such a small matter.
Qian Mingshi is not an upright and capable minister. His existence or non-existence is of no particular use to the country and the people. So what is the point of him risking the lives of his entire family to do such a thing?
Fu Cha Zhixi didn’t understand, and was too lazy to understand.
But poor Zhen Huan, as a daughter, can’t even take care of herself, let alone clean up the mess for her unreliable old father.
Just at this moment, Suqin came in and reported that Wanpin was here.
Fu Cha Zhixi reacted quickly. Zhen Huan probably realized that something was wrong, so she came over to ask her what was going on.
This is a good opportunity, and he can use this matter to persuade Zhen Huan to agree to his plan.
Thinking of this, Fu Cha Zhixi asked Su Qin to invite the person in.
"Greetings to Her Majesty, may Her Majesty be blessed with good health and happiness."
"Hurry up, you are pregnant with the Dragonborn now, you can't make such a big move."
Fu Cha Zhixi quickly reached out and helped the man up.
"Why did you come to see me today?"
Fu Cha Zhixi asked directly and straight to the point.
Zhen Huan was slightly stunned. She was still not used to the imperial concubine's straightforward personality, but at the moment she was anxious to get things done, so she didn't say anything polite.
"I came here because I have something to ask you, Your Majesty."
"I feel uneasy today, and I am already eight months pregnant, but my mother has not been able to enter the palace, so I am worried that something has happened at home."
"Moreover, there are obviously more eunuchs guarding Suiyuxuan these days, and Su Peisheng also specifically told me to go out less. All these abnormalities show that something big must have happened, and it has something to do with me."
