Chapter 265: Legend of Zhen Huan - Yun Li 11
Yunli arrived at Lingyun Peak and saw that his mother looked pale. He hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Mother, how did you catch a cold? Did those people at Ganlu Temple neglect you?"
When Concubine Shu saw her son coming back, she immediately smiled and spoke with a strong tone, which formed a sharp contrast with the pale face.
"Yunli, come here, mother will show you something good."
Yunli came to Concubine Shu with a confused look on his face. Instead of asking what his mother had shown him, he asked about her health.
"Mother, someone sent a letter saying that you were not feeling well. Why did this son of yours look at you and talk to you... Could it be that you did it on purpose? Did you just want this son of yours to come back?"
Concubine Shu glanced at A Jin standing outside, reached out and held Yun Li's hand, patted the back of his hand, and whispered: "Mother knows what my son did in Jiangnan, so she plans to give you the things your Royal Father left for you."
"What!" Yunli's heart skipped a beat when he heard that the emperor father had left something for him. Thinking of the secret guards, he thought: Mother wants to hand over the secret guards to me today?
He looked at Concubine Shu steadily, and Concubine Shu nodded to him.
He looked outside nervously and found that only A Jin was outside, so he felt a little relieved.
He asked Concubine Shu: "Mother, what are you talking about? Did the Emperor really leave something for me?"
“Of course.” Concubine Shu looked at Yunli, her eyes suddenly becoming somewhat sad, and said, “Since the Emperor ascended the throne, my mother and I have been living under his surveillance. Mother has no choice but to hand you over to the Queen Mother, hoping that you can live a better life…”
Seeing that Concubine Shu was about to bring up this matter again, Yun Li held his mother's hand tightly and said, "Don't be sad, mother. This is all in the past. I am living a good life now."
"Alas!" Concubine Shu said with a look of pity: "If you are living a good life, why do you want to make plans in Jiangnan?"
Yunli lowered his head when he heard that. Suddenly, he thought of something, raised his head abruptly, and looked at Concubine Shu with disbelief.
"Mother, how do you know what I did in Jiangnan?"
Concubine Shu nodded under Yunli's shocked look.
Concubine Shu took out the token that was familiar to him in his previous life and said, "Although the things you did in Jiangnan were a bit covert, they were not without trace. Fortunately, my mother sent people to follow you and confuse the emperor's people who were watching you. Otherwise, the emperor would know what you did, and my son would be in a bad situation."
In his previous life, when Yunli learned about the existence of the secret guards, he was shocked. He did not expect that his mother was so capable, or rather, he underestimated the emperor's love for his mother.
After his brother ascended the throne, his mother returned part of his father's power to the emperor, but left a group of secret guards for them as the last trump card.
It's a pity that by then it was too late for him to know about this force. At that time, his heart and eyes were already filled with Zhen Huan. He knew the existence of that secret guard, and he used them first for Zhen Huan.
Now that he has obtained this secret guard in advance, it will be easier for him to do things.
This time when he took over this secret guard, he still had no intention of doing anything big through this secret guard.
He also witnessed the tragic situation of the Nine Dragons' Fight for the Throne, and saw the miserable situation that no one could be used and no one could be trusted after his brother ascended the throne, not to mention that he was finally killed by the women in his own harem. It can be said that Yongzheng's ending was somewhat ridiculous and sad. Yunli was not sure that he could surpass his brother and become the wise monarch.
Now he just wants to take his mother to a secluded place to live his own life. Maybe in the future he will find a virtuous wife to spend the rest of his life with.
He told his mother about this idea. Strangely, he saw a hint of disapproval in his mother's eyes.
Yunli tried not to think about what his mother was thinking, and just said, "Mother, you will support me, right?"
"Yun'er..." Concubine Shu looked at Yun Li with some reluctance in her heart and said, "You are of royal blood, there are some things you can't just give up if you want to."
Yun Li's heart sank, and he asked, "Mother?"
Concubine Shu avoided Yunli's gaze and said, "My son is quite capable and can accomplish great things."
Yunli was silent.
This was the first time he realized his mother's ambition.
The conversation between the two ended unpleasantly.
When Yunli left Lingyun Peak, he had an extra token on him.
For several days in a row, every time Yunli came to Lingyun Peak to visit Concubine Shu, the mother and son tacitly did not mention the matter of the token again.
When Concubine Shu handed the token to Yunli, except for a secret guard who was protecting her and listened to her, all the others obeyed Prince Guo.
Yunli immediately found out the situation of the secret guards, and then the first order he gave them was to go to Jiangnan to expand their influence and make plans for the future.
Concubine Shu found out, but didn't react. She just continued chanting in the Buddhist temple.
But her heart was somewhat uneasy.
As she turned the Buddhist beads, she thought: Just because Yunli doesn't have that desire now doesn't mean he won't have it in the future. She has waited for so many years, and a little more time won't matter. She will find a way to make Yunli have a plan for that position.
Because of the Queen, the Emperor now has only a few ugly children, and none of them has the ability to take over the Qing Dynasty from the Emperor. Her son has a chance to fight for that position, and she just needs to wait for the right opportunity.
Concubine Shu opened her eyes when she thought of the woman who looked very similar to Ulanara Rouze.
She looked at the small Buddha statue in front of her and murmured in a low voice: "Rouzhe, Lady Wan, I hope you won't let me down."
……
The emperor and his entourage quickly returned to the Forbidden City.
The Forbidden City began to become lively again because its owner returned.
The concubines in each palace began another round of competition for beauty.
In this fight, there was no shadow of Zhen Huan or Concubine Shen.
The night before the Emperor returned to the Forbidden City, Zhen Huan was called up by the Emperor. Just when the concubines thought that Zhen Huan was going to be favored again, they received news the next day that the Emperor demoted Zhen Huan to a concubine.
The Emperor even banned Zhen Huan from traveling. After returning to Beijing, he confined her to Shuyuxuan and dismissed most of the palace maids around Zhen Huan. Liuzhu was also sent back to the Zhen Mansion. The only traitor Huanbi was left by Zhen Huan's side.
After Hua Fei learned the news, her depression disappeared and she happily ate a few more mouthfuls of food.
The Queen pressed her aching temple and complained to Jian Qiu, "This Zhen Huan is useless. It's really a waste of her face that looks like her sister."
