In the court, the once brilliant Zhen Huan, like a pearl in the harem, gradually evolved into a shrewd strategist in the intricate struggle.
She chose to leave the palace because she was disheartened, but also to protect herself and her belly.
In Ganlu Temple, Zhen Huan regained her inner peace and stayed away from the hustle and bustle. However, the twists and turns of fate will once again involve her in the whirlpool of the harem. After the first year of Yongzheng, Zhen Huan became a part of the harem scheming, and gradually grew from a naïve girl to a master of scheming in the harem.
Her years at Ganlu Temple gave her a taste of tranquility, but the cruelty of reality forced her to readjust to the intrigues of the court.
However, Zhen Huan is no longer the concubine who only knew how to compete for favor, she has become more intelligent and deep. After returning to the palace, her presence caused tension in the court. The power structure in the palace has undergone subtle changes, with new concubines trying to fill the vacancy left by Zhen Huan, and the queen's power has also weakened.
However, Zhen Huan's mentality has changed fundamentally. She no longer exists just to compete for favor, but faces the situation in the court with a more insightful and calm attitude.
Zhen Huan dealt with the disputes in the harem with a calm mind, but her return caused everyone to be uneasy.
In dealing with the power struggle of the harem, Zhen Huan maintained a high degree of vigilance.
She contacts some of the palace ladies privately to try to find out the truth behind the conspiracy. In a secret meeting late at night, Zhen Huan learned a shocking news: the truth about her father's framing was related to the emperor.
The news shocked her and made her reflect on the court's power games.
Zhen Huan was more cautious while trying to investigate the truth.
Her investigation reveals a larger conspiracy, where everyone can be an enemy or a friend. Zhen Huan received an anonymous letter revealing more palace secrets. So, she decided to investigate the background of all this privately.
As the investigation deepened, Zhen Huan discovered the fact that the queen colluded with a powerful minister, and they conspired to act at the palace ceremony in an attempt to shake the emperor's position. Zhen Huan quickly informed the emperor of this information and helped the emperor successfully smash the conspiracy.
Afterwards, the emperor was full of emotion: "It's really my luck to have a virtuous concubine like you." ”
Zhen Huan's return has changed the pattern of the court, but she is also well aware of the sinister nature of the court.
In this palace full of intrigue, she will continue to fulfill her role with greater caution to meet the unknown future.
