Episode 55
The Queen Mother understood that this move must be the work of the Queen, but a thorough investigation would definitely damage the royal family's face, so she summoned the Emperor and Queen to remind the Emperor of Hongli's experience and promote Zhen Huan's return to the palace to balance the power of the harem.The queen mobilized the former ministers to submit a memorial to stop it, but failed.When Princess Shu heard about the tragic death of her son, she went without food and water for several days. Zhen Huan went to visit her and told her that she was pregnant with Yunli's flesh and blood. She planned to return to the palace to avenge Yunli. Although Princess Shu was reluctant to part with her unborn grandson, she had no choice but todefault.
Before Zhen Huan returned to the palace, the queen knew that this matter could no longer be stopped, and deliberately encouraged the emperor to carry out large-scale construction projects to welcome Zhen Huan back to the palace. She also took the initiative to take out the treasures that had been stored in the warehouse for many years, which attracted criticism from the former court officials and the concubines of the harem.In order for Zhen Huan to return to the palace smoothly, the emperor decided to change Zhen Huan's surname to Niu Hulu. She was raised from the Zhenglan Banner (lower five banners) of the Han army to the Xianghuang banner (upper three banners) of the Manchu army. She was named Concubine Xi and called the emperor.The biological mother of the fourth son, Hongli, left the palace after giving birth to the fourth elder brother and went to Ganlu Temple to pray for the country. Not only was she not a deposed concubine, but she was also a meritorious person.But Zhen Huan was only seven years older than the fourth prince, so the emperor simply added ten years to Zhen Huan's age, making her thirty-two years old, and then Zhen Huan was able to return to the palace.
Zhen Huan and others returned to Ganlu Temple and prepared to drive back to the palace from here. The children of Ganlu Temple had to be respectful and changed from their usual domineering attitude.Prince Guo escaped from Junggar and rushed to Lingyun Peak to visit E Niang. The concubine did not know whether she was sad or happy when she saw that her son was alive, but she told him that Zhen Huan was going back to the palace, but she did not say that the child was from Yunli to avoid trouble.
Yunli hurried back to the palace to see the emperor, but was assigned by the emperor to go to Ganlu Temple to pick up Concubine Xi.Prince Guo and Zhen Huan reunited and felt that fate had played a trick on them.Seeing that she could not look back, Zhen Huan still cruelly decided to return to the palace.Prince Guo tried his best to protect Zhen Huan Zhouquan throughout his life.Zhen Huan washed away her previous hardships at Ganlu Temple, and was taken back to the palace by Prince Guo and his half-deputy Queen Luan.Before leaving, all the nuns knelt down to see her off. Zhen Huan gave Jing'an two handwritten Buddhist scriptures, relieved Jing Bai from the post of temple supervisor, rewarded her with twenty big boards, and appointed Mo Yan as the temple supervisor.
