Chapter 139 Zhen Huan Cries About Huanbi's Death
However, Zhen Huan was planning to make use of the Queen Mother in the future, because Prince Guo told her that in her previous life, Sister Mei was very much loved by the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother also always liked Sister Mei, so she was planning to borrow the Queen Mother's help to help Sister Mei in the future.
The Queen Mother looked at the Emperor again and asked, "Have you chosen a name for the child?"
The emperor replied, "The Sixth Prince is called Hongzhou. I have already thought of a name for him. The princess has not yet been given a title. I am waiting for Concubine Xi to come up with one herself."
"Okay, you decide on the prince's name, and Concubine Xi decides on the princess's name." The Queen Mother said with a smile.
At this time, Zhen Huan slowly said, "I may not have the wings of a phoenix, but we are connected by the same mind. How about the princess's title of Lingxi?"
When the emperor heard the word "Lingxi", he thought for a while, then smiled and said: "Huanhuan wants to have a spiritual connection with me, so our daughter will be called Princess Lingxi."
The Queen Mother saw that the Emperor and Zhen Huan had such a good relationship, and thought that the Queen was no longer favored, so she couldn't help feeling a little lonely. But then she remembered that the Queen had no chance of having children, and that Zhen Huan had given birth to two heirs for the Emperor, so she didn't feel unhappy with Zhen Huan.
At this moment, the Queen Mother couldn't wait to see the little prince and princess, and her eyes looked towards the wet nurse's arms from time to time.
Zhen Huan said to the nurses, "Nurses, quickly bring the little prince and princess to the Queen Mother for her to see."
The two wet nurses brought the children to the empress dowager's bed one after another. After the empress dowager saw the children, her face turned rosy. She was really very happy, and it seemed that even her body felt better.

Broken Yuxuan
On the first day that Zhen Huan returned to the palace, the Emperor was reluctant to leave her. After coming out of the Empress Dowager's Shoukang Palace, the Emperor was supposed to handle official business, but he still followed Zhen Huan back to Suiyuxuan.
As soon as the two sat down, Liuzhu made tea for the emperor and Zhen Huan, while the two children were taken to the side hall by the wet nurse to be breastfed.
The emperor suddenly said, "Hey? Since you came back until now, why haven't I seen the maid Huanbi beside you?"
When Zhen Huan heard the emperor mention the word "Huanbi", tears instantly fell from her eyes.
Zhen Huan cried like a tearful person and grabbed the emperor's arm and said, "Your Majesty, you must make the decision for me."
The emperor frowned and looked at Zhen Huan who suddenly cried in confusion, which made him feel very distressed.
"What's wrong? Huanhuan, please talk to me nicely and I will definitely make the decision for you."
"After I left the palace, I encountered several assassination attempts. Fortunately, the imperial guards sent by the emperor were highly skilled in martial arts, so I was able to survive. However, Huanbi, because she looked a bit like me, was killed by the assassin."
"If it weren't for Huanbi, I would have died long ago, and Your Majesty would never have seen me again."
"Who dares to do this and assassinate Huanhuan and my child?" the emperor said angrily.
Zhen Huan continued, "Your Majesty, Huanbi was a maidservant who I grew up with. We were like sisters, but now I can never see her again."
The more Zhen Huan spoke, the more excited she became, and her tears could not stop flowing. The Emperor felt very distressed seeing this, but this had happened a long time ago, and it would probably be difficult to investigate.
The emperor wiped Zhen Huan's tears with an embroidered handkerchief and comforted her gently:
"Hanhuan, don't cry yet. I feel so sad when you cry. Tell me, do you have any clues about those assassins?"
Zhen Huan said to Cui Jinxi who was beside her, "Jinxi, bring me that waist badge."
Then Zhen Huan took out the copper waist badge with the word "Zhou" engraved on it from a bag and handed it to Zhen Huan.
Zhen Huan took the copper waist badge, handed it to the emperor pitifully, and said, "Your Majesty, this waist badge was accidentally dropped from the assassin."
The emperor held the badge in thought, and guessed, "Huanhuan, is it possible that the assassins came here to rob money?"
Zhen Huan continued, "Your Majesty, I can guarantee that it was not a robbery. All my valuables and silver were intact. I am sure that they came for my life and the dragon child in my belly."
After hearing this, the emperor could guess a little bit. If that was the case, then the person supporting that group of assassins must be related to the concubines in the harem.
The emperor felt a headache and didn't want to continue talking. He wanted to investigate the matter privately first before giving an explanation.
The emperor then held Zhen Huan in his arms and said softly, "Huan Huan, I know you have been greatly wronged."
"I will definitely give you an explanation for this matter." The emperor patted Zhen Huan's back gently.
Huan leaned on the emperor's chest, tears welling up in her eyes, and whispered:
"Your Majesty, I know your feelings for me, and I understand it in my heart. However, I am really worried that if the person behind this is not found out, I will never be able to rest in peace, and I will feel sorry for Huanbi's death."
The Emperor hugged Zhen Huan tighter, with a gleam of determination in his eyes:
"Hanhuan, you are the most important in my heart. From now on, I will do my best to ensure the safety of you and your child. I will also find out the mastermind behind the assassins and will not tolerate it."
After thinking for a moment, Zhen Huan said to the emperor with hopeful eyes:
"Your Majesty, on the way to Baolian Temple, I had nightmares about Huanbi's tragic death day and night, and even had a miscarriage. It was all thanks to Sister Mei who accompanied me at the time. If it weren't for Sister Mei's comfort and company, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to keep Hongluo and Lingxi safe."
After hearing what Zhen Huan said, the Emperor suddenly felt guilty towards Shen Meiyu. He later ordered the Blood Dropper to conduct a private investigation, and there were signs that someone had quietly broken into Shen Meiyu's bedroom in the middle of the night. It was obvious that the death of Noble Lady Fucha was caused by someone who had stolen Shen Meiyu's hairpin.
But at that time, he was anxious to quell the civil strife in the harem and give an explanation to the Fucha family, so he sacrificed Shen Meizhuang.
So he kept the position she had promised him, exiled her, and saved her Shen family. This was the best way he could protect Shen Meizhuang at the time.
Now, more than half a year has passed since the death of Noble Lady Fucha, and the Fucha family has gradually declined during this period of time.
The emperor comforted Zhen Huan and said, "Mei'er can be considered a meritorious official. She has saved my beloved concubine and my two children in disguise."
"Your Majesty, Sister Mei, she was wronged. I hope Your Majesty can investigate this matter thoroughly." Zhen Huan said gritting her teeth.
But how could the emperor agree to this? If he said that he had wrongly convicted Shen Meizhuang, that would be a slap in his own face. Where would he put his face as the emperor?
The emperor still said to Zhen Huan gently: "There is no need to say more about this matter. If one day it is found that the truth has nothing to do with Mei'er, then I will definitely bring the real culprit to justice, punish him severely, and give Mei'er justice."
Zhen Huan was extremely angry. Humph, I will definitely find evidence to slap you in the face.
The Emperor wiped away Zhen Huan's tears and said a few words of comfort to her gently. Then he heard the eunuch's report from outside the door.
"The Queen is here!"
The Queen walked in gracefully and elegantly, supported by Lanxiang.
The queen first bowed respectfully to the emperor: "Your Highness!"
"Well, no need to formality, just sit down." The emperor said in a cold tone.
Liuzhu, who was standing by, brought a chair and placed it behind the queen.
