Chapter 511 [The Legend of Zhen Huan 46]
After Youyou learned from Meng Jingxian what happened in Prince Guo's mansion, she couldn't help but question Zhen Huan. She really wondered where Zhen Huan's title of "Female Zhuge" came from, and whether it was a bit exaggerated? However, since Zhen Huan had Meng Jingxian watching over her, there shouldn't be any big problems, so Youyou didn't bother to care about these trivial matters.
However, what Youyou didn't expect was that Zhen Huan seemed to have suffered a heavy blow, and her heart was filled with hatred and thoughts of revenge.
She was determined to strike back at those who had oppressed her, so one night she secretly climbed into Prince Guo's bed.
For Zhen Huan, this may be a means of revenge, but for Prince Guo, he already has a dislike for Zhen Huan.
After all, at this time Zhen Huan had long lost her former beauty, her skin became rough and her face haggard.
Prince Guo favored her only on impulse, and then forgot about the matter and no longer paid any attention to it.
Shen Meizhuang also felt disgusted. Although Zhen Huan was her concubine, this behavior of climbing into bed was really disgusting, so she decided to hand Zhen Huan over to Meng Jingxian for disposal. After all, whenever she saw Zhen Huan, she would think of those disgusting things.
Meng Jingxian specifically asked Prince Guo: "Your Majesty, I wonder how to arrange this concubine Zhen? After all, she is now your woman."
Prince Guo replied indifferently: "Everything is up to you, Jingxian, whether it is sold or in other ways."
Meng Jingxian said in surprise: "It doesn't seem appropriate to sell her. After all, she is a concubine given to Sister Shen by the Emperor. She is also the prince's concubine and cannot be easily sent away."
Prince Guo looked at Zhen Huan expressionlessly and said slowly: "Since you are a concubine, then be a serving concubine. As for where to live, Jingxian, find a place that is far away from the main courtyard or the front yard, preferably a remote one. I don't want to see her anymore." His tone was cold and resolute, as if Zhen Huan was just an insignificant stranger.
Meng Jingxian was slightly startled, but quickly regained her composure and replied respectfully, "Yes, Your Majesty, I will send someone to arrange it." She knew that Prince Guo hated Zhen Huan, and she also understood her position and responsibilities. Although she was a little unwilling in her heart, she decided to obey Prince Guo's wishes.
Prince Guo waved his hand, signaling Meng Jingxian to leave. Meng Jingxian bowed, then turned and left. When she reached the door, she stopped and looked back at Zhen Huan, with a hint of mixed emotions in her eyes. Then, she gently closed the door and left the room.
Prince Guo sat quietly on the chair, staring ahead, lost in thought. He didn't know why Yinzhen wanted to let Zhen Huan into his house. This person was too restless.
After Meng Jingxian left, Zhen Huan's face turned pale as paper, and tears kept falling from the corners of her eyes. She knew that her fate could not be changed, and she could only accept it silently. She felt helpless and lonely, and her heart was filled with despair.
In the inner courtyard of the imperial palace, the once bustling harem has now become deserted. Most of the concubines have been sent out of the palace by the emperor, and even the princesses and princes are no exception. This move makes the entire palace seem particularly empty and lonely.
At the same time, the ministers in the court began to discuss the matter of appointing a crown prince. Since the queen had no children, the only older princes left were the third prince Hongshi, the fourth prince Hongli, and the fifth prince Hongzhou.
However, the Fifth Prince was not favored by the Emperor, the Fourth Prince's biological mother was of low status, and although the Third Prince's mother was Concubine Qi, the Third Prince was unable to take on important responsibilities.
Faced with this situation, the ministers focused their attention on the Fourth Prince. Although the Fourth Prince's biological mother was of lower status, they thought of a way to improve his status through marriage.
As a result, many ministers secretly planned to marry their daughters or granddaughters to the Fourth Prince in order to consolidate the family's power.
Yinzhen soon discovered the ministers' purpose and frowned at Youyou, saying, "My dear, I really don't understand why you guys have nothing to do all day long, secretly plotting to have me appoint a crown prince. How old am I now?"
After hearing what Yinzhen said, Youyou smiled slightly and asked softly, "Then my husband, who do they want to establish as the heir?"
Yinzhen sighed and said helplessly, "Fourth Prince Hongli."
"Hongli? I don't think I've ever seen him." Youyou asked puzzledly.
Yinzhen shook his head and explained, "Of course you haven't seen him. Even I haven't seen him many times. If they didn't mention it, I would have forgotten that there was a fourth prince. I originally thought that this was just the ministers' idea, but I didn't expect that Hongli himself had this ambition. He accepted the ministers' offers and made many promises. If we really hand over the country to him, I'm afraid that sooner or later he will ruin it all."
"Then what are you going to do, my husband?" Youyou frowned and looked at Yinzhen with worry, her heart filled with anxiety and uneasiness.
Yinzhen smiled slightly, with a hint of determination in his eyes: "I plan to adopt him to the royal family. Since he is so concerned about my position, I will stop his idea."
Youyou opened her mouth in surprise: "But...if this happens, won't you lose your heir?"
Yinzhen shook his head and said firmly: "It doesn't matter, I have other options."
Youyou looked at Yinzhen in confusion, not knowing what his plan was.
Yinzhen raised his lips slightly and said softly, "So, Qingqing, you must quickly bear me an heir. I plan to leave this position to our child."
After hearing this, Youyou blushed shyly, but still asked uncertainly: "What if I'm pregnant with a daughter?"
Yinzhen smiled tenderly, gently touched Youyou's head, and comforted her in a firm but gentle tone: "It's not impossible for my daughter. I can make her the crown princess and let her inherit the throne. With our daughter's intelligence and tenacity, I believe she will become an outstanding emperor."
When Youyou heard Yinzhen's words, she couldn't help but burst out laughing. She thought Yinzhen was so cute that he was willing to pass the throne to their daughter. Her heart was filled with happiness and sweetness because she knew that Yinzhen's love for them was so deep and selfless.
"Are you really planning to hand over the country to the princess? The ministers will definitely strongly oppose it at that time." Youyou asked with a smile, but there was a hint of worry in her eyes.
"Well, I have made up my mind. If the ministers have any objections, let them go to our daughter to resolve it! After all, this is a problem she will face in the future and a responsibility she needs to bear." Yinzhen answered seriously.
"Then leave this to our daughter. After all, she is going to inherit the throne, so let her deal with these people. We believe that she will be able to handle it with ease. By then, Qingqing and I will go to live in Jiangnan and no longer worry about these troubles." Yinzhen continued.
"Go to Jiangnan. Jiangnan is a beautiful place. I have always wanted to go there." Youyou said excitedly, with anticipation gleaming in her eyes.
"In that case, my dear, shouldn't we work hard to go as soon as possible, have a child early and raise him, then we can leave the palace." Yinzhen looked at Youyou and said seriously.
"What you said makes a lot of sense!" Youyou nodded subconsciously, but quickly reacted: "No, what are you doing?" She suddenly found that Yinzhen was touching her, and she couldn't help feeling nervous and shy.
"Isn't this for the purpose of having a baby, my dear? In order to leave the palace earlier, I'll have to ask you to accompany me and work harder." Yinzhen's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a sly smile. He gently stroked Youyou's cheek, his eyes full of tenderness and love.
Youyou's face instantly turned red. She tried to push Yinzhen away, but found that he hugged her tightly. She sighed helplessly, wondering why this man was so overbearing. But at the same time, she also felt Yinzhen's deep affection and desire for her.
"Okay, then I'll listen to you." Youyou said softly. She closed her eyes and enjoyed Yinzhen's hug and kiss.
