Chapter 108 Returning to Beijing after a Victory
Zhen Huan had fallen asleep at this moment, and the universal sound transmission stone on her chest vibrated slightly.
Zhen Huan seemed to sense the heat and vibration in her chest. Before she opened her eyes, her fingers involuntarily touched the universal sound transmission stone.
After confirming that it was the universal sound transmission stone that was vibrating, Zhen Huan quickly opened her eyes. She knew that it was Prince Guo's voice calling her.
Zhen Huan pressed an inconspicuous button, but instead of hearing Prince Guo's voice, she heard heavy breathing.
"Yunli?" Zhen Huan called out in a low voice.
Prince Guo heard Zhen Huan's voice and said with a drunken laugh, "Huan'er, I won. Our army has won a complete victory."
"???" Zhen Huan listened to what Prince Guo said with a puzzled look on her face. She didn't understand what Prince Guo meant by winning. The two words "our army", did it mean that Prince Guo went to the battlefield?
"Yunli, are you drunk? What nonsense are you talking about?" Zhen Huan asked tentatively.
For more than two months, Prince Guo did not tell Zhen Huan about his personal expedition to Qinghai to quell the rebellion, for he was afraid that Zhen Huan would worry about him.
Now that he had won the final victory, he wanted to share his joy with her as soon as possible.
"Huan'er, I want to tell you something. You are not allowed to be angry. More than two months ago, I set out from Beijing to fight in Qinghai to quell the rebellion. Now that I have won the battle, I want to share my joy with you. Hehe~~" Prince Guo laughed innocently.
"I will be back to pick you up soon. Are you and the child okay?" Prince Guo asked with concern.
Although Zhen Huan would contact Prince Guo every four or five days using the Wanli Voice Stone, the two of them would sometimes chat until late at night and always had endless things to talk about.
But she never knew that Prince Guo had been chatting with her in the military camp for the past two months.
No wonder sometimes when she went to talk to Prince Guo, he always asked her to wait for a while and then talk to her again. Zhen Huan didn’t think much about it at the time.
At this time, Zhen Huan was already more than eight months pregnant, and her belly was much bigger than before. Because she was pregnant with twins, her belly looked even bigger. Although she was not showing her pregnancy, she was already eight months pregnant, so even if she didn't show her pregnancy, it would be obvious.
Zhen Huan did not blame Prince Guo for not telling her about going to the war before. She knew that she should support him in everything he did for the good of both of them.
Zhen Huan slowly said, "Yun Li, the child and I are fine, don't worry, are you hurt?"
Prince Guo said proudly: "I'm fine. I'm a man of both civil and military talents. I'm also your future good husband. You have to believe me."
Zhen Huan's lips curved up, "I feel relieved when you are well. Our children have been kicking me recently, and I told them stories..."
Zhen Huan happily shared some interesting things that happened during this period, and also shared some gossip about Wen Shichu and Shen Meizhuang, with a hint of envy in her tone.
After hearing this, Prince Guo felt guilty. He said gently, "Huan'er, this short separation is for a longer reunion in the future. I won't let you wait too long."
"Well, I believe you!"
"You should take a rest quickly. We will set off for Beijing tomorrow. Don't be too tired." Zhen Huan said with concern.
"Okay, I love you, my Huan'er, I will come to pick you up as soon as possible..." Prince Guo said, and the next second he suddenly felt sleepy and fell asleep.
Before Zhen Huan could say anything, she heard a few soft snoring sounds coming from the universal sound transmission stone. Eh? Fell asleep in a second? Why didn't she realize that Prince Guo had the ability to fall asleep in a second before?
Zhen Huan had no choice but to press the switch to cut off the signal.
She lay in bed, looking forward to when Prince Guo would come to see her. As she thought about it, she slowly fell asleep.
ten days later
Prince Guo returned to the capital in glory. The moment he stepped into the city gate, he felt that the people of the city were warmly welcoming him and his soldiers back from victory.
The scene was very lively, with constant cheers. Prince Guo did not act arrogantly, but instead responded to everyone with an extremely friendly smile.
Prince Guo immediately took Yue Zhongqi back to the palace to meet the emperor.
At this time, the emperor was in the Yangxin Palace, happily waiting for Prince Guo's arrival.
three days ago
An Lingrong received a letter from Prince Guo, who was sent by Awei who broke into Prince Guo’s Yanx Palace late at night, regarding Prince Guo’s instructions.
The letter roughly stated that Prince Guo would return to Beijing to report on his work in the afternoon of three days later, and asked her to inform the emperor in advance that Prince Guo would be responsible for bringing Zhen Huan back to the palace. Zhen Huan was already more than eight months pregnant at this time, and the return journey would take nearly half a month, so she had to return to the palace as soon as possible to give birth to the child.
As soon as An Lingrong saw the letter, she felt sorry for Zhen Huan. She had to travel back and forth in the palace while pregnant with the dragon heir. Fortunately, Prince Guo cared about her, otherwise Zhen Huan would have been too miserable.
Zhen Huan had helped her a lot in the past, and the three of them (An Lingrong, Zhen Huan, and Shen Meizhuang) made an agreement that the three sisters should help each other and gain a foothold in the palace.
Although she was favored by the emperor some time ago, there were still the Queen, Concubine Hua, Concubine Qi and other concubines with higher status than her in the palace.
The Queen's house arrest ended a few days ago, and she was thinking of ways to find fault with her and punish her. Fortunately, she was cautious and managed to cope with it with some difficulty.
She also hoped that Zhen Huan could return to the palace as soon as possible. As for Shen Meizhuang, she didn't know how she was doing now. She always felt that Shen Meizhuang was still suffering in Hanshan Temple. Perhaps when Zhen Huan came back, the two sisters could work together to find a way to let Shen Meizhuang return to the palace.
An Lingrong is dressed exceptionally beautifully today, and her fresh and refined makeup is eye-catching.
She sat upright on a sedan chair, carefully carried by a group of eunuchs, surrounded by Baojuan and four palace maids, and slowly moved towards the direction of the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
On the way, he happened to meet the queen who was also going to visit the emperor.
Upon seeing this, An Lingrong immediately got off the sedan chair, bowed respectfully to the empress, and said softly, "Greetings, Her Majesty. May Her Majesty be blessed with good health!"
However, at this time the Queen was filled with resentment towards An Lingrong.
Before, An Lingrong caused her to be confined to her house, and even more hateful, she also put her most capable personal maid Jianqiu to death.
The Queen will never let go of this deep hatred easily.
Every time when paying respects, the Queen would always find an opportunity to say a few words to make things difficult for An Lingrong, but An Lingrong always managed to pretend to be pitiful and flatter the Queen with flattering words, thus cleverly avoiding these difficulties time and time again.
At this time, the queen deliberately did not say the word "no need to be polite", but said in a cold and arrogant tone: "Princess An, where are you going?" There was an imperceptible contempt and disdain in her eyes.
An Lingrong did not hear the Queen say that she was excused from the formalities, so she did not dare to stand up easily. She could only continue to bend her body and carefully answered, "In reply to the Queen, I am going to the Yangxin Palace to visit the Emperor."
