Chapter 574 The Legend of Zhen Huan An Lingrong 31
Liu Zhu and Huan Bi looked at Zhen Huan's loss of composure and became even more worried. Liu Zhu gently patted Zhen Huan's back and said softly, "My lady, don't be anxious, take your time..."
Seeing Zhen Huan's pale face and confused eyes, Liu Zhu was extremely anxious, but she didn't know how to comfort her. She blurted out subconsciously: "My lady, your health is very important now. Concubine Li is the most favored by the emperor now, you must take care of yourself!"
"Concubine Li?" Zhen Huan seized upon this unfamiliar word as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw.
"Which Concubine Li?"
Liu Zhu and Huan Bi looked at each other, and saw confusion in each other's eyes. What happened to the young lady? She didn't even remember Concubine Li?
Huanbi explained carefully: "My lady, it is... it is An Daying, now the Concubine Li."
"An Lingrong?" Zhen Huan repeated the name, her heart agitated. An Lingrong, the weak and timid girl who depended on her and needed her protection at all times, had actually become Concubine Li?
She was also the most favored by the emperor? This was even more unbelievable to her than the queen being deposed.
A chill ran from the soles of her feet to the top of her head, and Zhen Huan shuddered. Fragments of memory flashed through her mind like a revolving lantern. She remembered An Lingrong's timid eyes, her humble request for help, and the scar-removing glue she sent her... Every little detail in the past now seemed full of doubts.
"My lady, are you okay?" Liu Zhu asked worriedly, and reached out to touch Zhen Huan's forehead: "It seems a little hot."
Zhen Huan shook her head, pushed away Liu Zhu's hand, and looked ahead with empty eyes. She needed to calm down and sort out her chaotic thoughts. Yixiu was deposed, An Lingrong was favored, what happened in the harem?
"Help me in." Zhen Huan's voice was hoarse and weak.
Liu Zhu and Huan Bi hurriedly supported Zhen Huan back to her room. Zhen Huan lay on the bed helplessly, her thoughts surging. She thought of the ending of An Lingrong in her previous life, which was desolate and tragic.
Could it be that in this life, she really turned things around?
"My lady, would you like some water?" Huanbi brought a cup of warm water and said softly.
Zhen Huan took the cup of water, but did not drink it. She just held it tightly in her hand.
Zhen Huan's hand holding the cup was trembling slightly, and her mind was in a mess.
A loving couple? Yinzhen and An Lingrong? This is such a joke!
She remembered that in her previous life, Yinzhen only used and hated An Lingrong, and treated her as a completely dispensable pet. How could he ever have any true love for her?
At this time, Aunt Jingxi came in, and seeing Zhen Huan's distraught look, she asked with concern: "My lady, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Zhen Huan raised her head, her eyes blank: "Jingxi, Concubine Li... An Lingrong, how could she become Concubine Li?"
Jing Xi sighed, walked over to sit next to Zhen Huan, and said softly, "My lady, the 'Li' in Li Fei was said by the emperor himself, and it means the deep love between husband and wife."
Deep love between husband and wife? Zhen Huan felt a chill running from the soles of her feet to the top of her head. These four words were like a sharp thorn, piercing her heart fiercely.
She thought of An Lingrong's ending in her previous life, which was bleak and tragic. Could it be that in this life, she really turned things around?
"Your Majesty...does he really dote on her so much?" Zhen Huan's voice was hoarse and weak, as if it came from the depths of hell.
Jin Xi's voice was low and slow, like grains of sand falling on Zhen Huan's heart, piling up bit by bit into a suffocating sand dune: "Since the day when Concubine Li slept with him, the Emperor... has never summoned anyone else to sleep with him again."
The cup in Zhen Huan's hand fell to the ground with a "bang", broken porcelain pieces splashed, and warm water spilled on the ground, just like her confused mood at the moment.
Impossible! This is absolutely impossible! She saw with her own eyes how much Yinzhen hated An Lingrong in his previous life! How could he favor An Lingrong alone?
"Jinxi, you...say it again." Zhen Huan's voice was trembling badly. She stared at Jinxi, as if she wanted to find some flaws in her face.
Jing Xi looked at Zhen Huan, a trace of pity flashed in her eyes, but she still repeated: "My lady, what I said is true. Concubine Li is now in great favor, and everyone in the harem knows it."
Zhen Huan's eyes went dark, and she held onto the edge of the bed, almost unable to stand. Great favor? Deep love between husband and wife? These words were like sharp knives, cutting her heart again and again. She thought of Yinzhen's favor to her in her previous life, and the vows he had made to her. Now, it all seemed like a funny joke.
"How could this happen... How could this happen..." Zhen Huan muttered to herself, the image of An Lingrong flashing in her mind. How could An Lingrong, who was weak and timid and always looked pitiful, use such means to be able to bewitch Yinzhen so much?
Jealousy, like a poisonous snake, tightly wrapped around Zhen Huan's heart, making it almost impossible for her to breathe. She was unwilling to accept it! Why could An Lingrong, a woman of humble origin and no background, get everything she once had, and even more?
"My lady, don't think too much. The most important thing now is to take care of your health." Jin Xi looked at Zhen Huan with heartache and comforted her.
Zhen Huan took a deep breath, trying to calm her frantic heartbeat. Jin Xi's words echoed in her ears, like a death knell, striking at her nerves.
She, Zhen Huan, had to watch An Lingrong, the woman who used to be submissive and servile in front of her, climb over her head and enjoy everything that should have belonged to her?
No, she would never give up!
She, Zhen Huan, has never been a pawn to be manipulated by others!
"Let's go to Yanxi Palace to see Lingrong."
"Yanxi Palace? Isn't Concubine Li in Yongshou Palace?" Jinxi asked puzzledly, with a hint of doubt in her tone.
Zhen Huan's eyes went dark, her body swayed, and she almost fell. Jin Xi quickly supported her and said worriedly, "My lady!"
Zhen Huan's face was pale, her lips trembled, and it took her a while to find her voice: "Yongshou Palace... The emperor... he actually..."
Her words were intermittent, as if every word carried a sharp thorn, piercing her throat. The huge gap between her past and present lives was like a surging tide, drowning her. She used to be a treasure in Yinzhen's hands, but now, he gave all his tenderness to An Lingrong.
She was unwilling! She hated it!
"Let's go to Yongshou Palace!"
Zhen Huan, supported by Jin Xi, stumbled all the way to Yongshou Palace. Anger and jealousy rolled in her chest, almost swallowing her. Yongshou Palace, once a symbol of her glory, has now become an unspeakable pain in her heart.
The golden tiles of Yongshou Palace sparkled in the sun, making Zhen Huan's eyes hurt. She never thought that she would step into the palace gate that she was so familiar with in such an embarrassing manner.
"The Emperor and Concubine Li are admiring the flowers in the Imperial Garden."
