Chapter 173 Shen Meizhuang 43

The next day, Shen Meizhuang had a good sleep and slept until dawn and noon.

When she looked at the sky, it was already past the time for paying respects. Shen Meizhuang wondered why Caizhen didn't wake her up today?

It turned out that all the concubines in the harem, except her, had stayed up most of the night in Taohuawu to investigate Zhen Huan's death, so Yixiu exempted them from paying respects this morning and let everyone catch up on their sleep.

Is Zhen Huan dead?

Shen Meizhuang felt like sleeping, so after having her meal, she got on the sedan chair and headed for Zhengda Guangming.

She was very curious about the cause of Zhen Huan's death, and who in the palace knew more about the inside story than the emperor?

When they arrived at Zhengdaguangming, Shen Meizhuang had just sat on the couch for a while and had not yet asked any questions out of curiosity when Su Peisheng announced that Prince Guo was coming to see him.

Prince Guo?

Usually the audience with the princes of the royal family is in the afternoon, after the emperor has rested (nonsense).

It was only the Si hour (9 to 11 o'clock), and the emperor and Shen Meizhuang could not think of what urgent matter Prince Guo had that would require him to come to the emperor at this time.

Shen Meizhuang felt that she had to avoid foreign men, so she stood up and wanted to leave.

However, the emperor felt that Mei'er was not an outsider, and she and Prince Guo had met before, so he did not wait for Shen Meizhuang to leave and directly let Prince Guo in.

When Prince Guo came in and saw Shen Meiyu, he was also stunned. Concubine Yi was also there. He didn't know how to start the conversation. But he was really anxious, so he stammered and went to the Emperor to confirm. Was Zhen Da Ying really dead?

Last night at the banquet, Zhen Huan sneaked out to get some fresh air, and he followed her.

Seeing that she looked depressed and was walking further and further away, and stumbling due to being drunk, Prince Guo could not hide his worry and walked forward to greet her with concern.

There were too many people around and he was afraid that some bad words might be spread that would be detrimental to the two of them, so he took Zhen Huan to Tonghuatai.

This was built by the late emperor for his mother, but after the late emperor passed away and his mother asked to leave the palace, the Tonghua Terrace became deserted and almost no one came.

The two spoke freely in Tonghuatai, a remote and sparsely populated place, and told each other their pains.

You comfort me and I comfort you.

After a conversation, Zhen Huan has become his confidant.

But this morning he heard the shocking news that his confidant was gone!

So Prince Guo couldn't help but want to ask the emperor what was going on. At the same time, he wondered if his brother had discovered that they had a private relationship, so he gave her to... ?

If this is true, how could the emperor be so cruel to such a weak woman who can't even tie a chicken?

Last night, he could see that she was very affectionate towards the emperor.

But my brother...

Ugh.

If only he were the emperor’s brother, he would never let down such a devoted beauty.

The Emperor did not understand Prince Guo's inner regret, he just thought he was inexplicable and ignorant of etiquette. After all, Zhen Huan was his brother's woman and a concubine in the Emperor's harem. How could the death of a lowly concubine cause Prince Guo to take such a big concern?

"It seems like you two have a close personal relationship."

The emperor lowered his voice and stared at him intently.

I thought Prince Guo had only met Zhen Huan once, on the day of the last archery competition, but it seems like it's more than once.

Prince Guo broke out in a cold sweat, his drowsy brain awakened by the emperor's words. He finally realized that he was too anxious and lost his composure, and should not have come today.

Even though Zhen Huan died, she was still the emperor's brother's woman.

But he didn't want Zhen Huan to die unjustly, and wanted to find out the murderer who killed her.

Prince Guo knew that Zhen Huan must have been murdered.

In order to avoid suspicion last night, he asked Zhen Huan to return to the banquet first, and he waited there before leaving, to avoid the two of them returning at close times and being associated with each other.

When Zhen Huan left, her eyes were shining, no longer as depressed as before. This showed that Prince Guo had coaxed her and made her happy.

So how could Zhen Huan possibly commit suicide by drowning herself?

He must have been pushed into the water by a bad guy.

But he certainly couldn't say that to his brother, so he just avoided the main point and said that he had drunk too much at the banquet last night and secretly left the table to relax, and happened to meet Zhen Da Ying who was also drunk.

The two chatted briefly, and Zhen agreed that she was fine at this time, so she couldn't have committed suicide, it could only be homicide.

The emperor then asked where the two met.

Prince Guo replied hesitantly, "Tonghuatai".

Tung Blossom Terrace!

This is a symbol of the favor that Prince Guo's mother, Concubine Shu, once enjoyed from the late emperor.

The emperor thought of the days when Prince Guo's mother was favored, and also of the love the late emperor had for Prince Guo, the son of his beloved concubine.

Ha ha.

Moreover, Tonghuatai is so remote and so far away from Jiuzhou Qingyan, how could the two of them accidentally "meet" there?

The emperor didn't believe it.

However, Mei'er was by her side, and the emperor didn't want to show in front of her that he was cheated on. He still wanted to retain some self-respect and dignity.

Shen Meizhuang was unaware of all these twists and turns. After all, she didn't even know where Tonghuatai was, not to mention the secrets behind it. She just listened to the conversation between the two silently, blinking her innocent and clear big eyes and glancing at the emperor from time to time.

Facing her puzzled gaze, the emperor pretended to be calm and said that he understood. The clues provided by Prince Guo were very useful, and he would ask Su Peisheng to focus on checking who passed by this place at this time.

Su Peisheng at the side calmly took the order and went to investigate.

Su Peisheng took care of everything.

No matter who investigates, they will only find out that a young eunuch who had received favor from Cui Jinxi saw Zhen Huan walking alone on the road, and thought this was a good opportunity to avenge Aunt Jinxi, so he became evil-minded and pushed Zhen Huan into the water and drowned her in the lake.

This young eunuch has been bribed by Su Peisheng. He has a seriously ill brother outside the palace, and he entrusts Su Peisheng to take care of his brother for the rest of his life.

For his brother, the young eunuch was willing to do anything.

Therefore, this little eunuch would never betray Su Peisheng and bite him back.

However, this young eunuch had indeed received favors from Cui Jinxi, so it was true that he killed Zhen Huan in the name of revenge for Cui Jinxi.

Last night, Zhen Huan was the first to leave the table, followed closely by Prince Guo. Neither of them noticed the young eunuch who was playing tricks on them.

He watched the two of them being affectionate with each other all the way, which was immoral and brought chaos to the harem.

When the young eunuch was on trial, he revealed the content of the conversation between the two and filed a complaint against Prince Guo.

Who made Prince Guo fall in love with that vicious woman Zhen Huan?
