searched for ancient and modern Chinese and foreign TV series, and suddenly a touch of emotion suddenly appeared in the bottom of my heart, but "The Legend of Zhen Huan" remained in the deepest part of my memory. This classic that never gets tired of watching reveals the power and emotional strife of a court world, but Zhen Huan's message to the emperor when Yongzheng was dying has become a mystery in this drama. After thinking deeply, I found one of the confusing places - why didn't Zhen Huan directly admit that the dragon and phoenix fetus were the children of King Guojun, but only revealed what Shen Meizhuang and Sun promised?
Zhen Huan's move was to avenge Sister Mei and Wen Shichu. Shen Meizhuang, who was once a show girl in the palace with Zhen Huan, was the first to be favored and pregnant. However, she was later framed by Concubine Hua for "fake pregnancy", although the emperor restored her identity, this matter is still a thorn in her heart. Before, the emperor forced Zhen Huan to conduct a "blood test", but he was involved in Wen Shichu's affairs, which led to Wen Shichu's final self-examination. Although Zhen Huan may have hidden secrets in her heart, it does not mean that she agrees with the emperor's tough methods. Wen Shichu's unfortunate encounter indirectly led to Shen Meizhuang's dystocia and death, which is an unavoidable past for Zhen Huan. Zhen Huan told this secret in order to give Sister Mei a breath of relief.
In the eyes of the emperor, Shen Meizhuang is a moral benchmark, a good daughter-in-law in the ideal of feudal kingship, with an arrogant personality, dignified and steady, low-key and decent, and a powerful maid beside the queen mother. The emperor couldn't imagine that she had fornicated with others. The reason why Zhen Huan chose to reveal this secret was precisely to ignite anger in the emperor's heart. Once the emperor learns that Shen Meizhuang, who was once considered pure, has also been disloyal to him, this will inevitably fuel his anger, and Shen Meizhuang is deceased, even if the emperor survives, he will not be able to find her to hold him responsible.
Zhen Huan has always felt guilty about what happened to Shen Meizhuang, and her revenge plan began with deep affection for Meizhuang. The revelation of what happened to Meizhuang revealed a hidden pain point in the entire court, and also provided a deep emotional foundation for Zhen Huan's actions.
And the scandal between Sun Promise and the madman was too vividly described by Zhen Huan, which was a deep heartache for the arrogant emperor. The two new promises of the emperor did not have much friendship with the little master, but the emperor was looking for fun, and found some people at random, as long as he didn't cause trouble, even if it was none of his business. Although in fact, Zhen Huan may just be a quick glimpse. However, her vivid portrayal is actually a profound psychological punishment of the emperor. The emperor, as the ruler of the world, found that his woman was bullied by a rebellious person, what an insult, what a royal scandal. The emperor was furious and scolded the two of them for dividing the body of Sun as promised to five horses.
The emperor has always been suspicious of Zhen Huan, especially in the process of blood testing, he once thought that Zhen Huan and Wen Shichu had a personal relationship. Although it was finally confirmed that it was the empress who played the trick in it, the emperor's doubts were not completely dispelled. When Yongzheng was seriously ill, he confided in Zhen Huan the shadow of his childhood, and witnessed the Queen Mother's affair with Long Keduo. Although he was an emperor from above, the coldness of his parents made his upbringing full of sensitivity, suspicion, and hatred of betrayal.
After Moge's marriage proposal, King Guojun's pursuit, and rumors about the similarity between Hongyi and King Guojun's son, the emperor's suspicions became deeper and deeper. At the moment of his life, he still did not know if the child was biological and could inherit the throne. He asked Zhen Huan: "Is Hongzhan my son or not?" And Zhen Huan's ambiguous answer made the emperor enter the coffin with doubts, and he didn't bat an eye. The Emperor's anxiety, anger, and anguish made his illness worse. Faced with the unknown answer, the emperor's heart was like a mess of thoughts, and this uneasiness and fear became his deepest torment before his death. Before the emperor died, Zhen Huan's words of precise attack instantly broke the emperor's spiritual defense.
There is no impermeable wall in the world, and even if Hongzhan ascends the throne, those who have a heart will inevitably reveal the identity of his twins. Considering that Yongzheng does not have many heirs, and the dragon and phoenix fetus that Zhen Huan conceived outside the palace was born prematurely after returning to the palace, these episodes will inevitably cause people to doubt. Zhen Huan is smart and cautious, as long as the emperor does not really pass away, she is not completely successful, and she will never hand over her hole cards easily. Even if the emperor left some backers, as long as there was nothing to admit in person, it could be resolved in the end.
Zhen Huan's feelings for the emperor are complex and profound. The former favor and estrangement are intertwined with a tortuous love-hate relationship. And the emotion for King Guojun is the warmth of Zhen Huan's heart. The interweaving of these two relationships has made Zhen Huan's soul full of vicissitudes.
Zhen Huan's character can be called the best in the play. Her intelligence, wit, calmness, and dedication to love are all impressive. At the same time, her revenge and guilt for Meizhuang also make her image fuller.
Zhen Huan's feelings for the emperor are even more confusing. The former pampering and estrangement make this relationship full of twists and turns. And the deep affection for King Guojun has built a warm harbor in Zhen Huan's heart. The intricacies of these two relationships made Zhen Huan's heart constantly struggle in the whirlpool of this court.
Zhen Huan's character is deep and plump. Her intelligence and wit have made her stand out in court battles many times. And the persistence of love and Meizhuang's guilt make her image more real and touching. After looking at it, I have a deeper understanding of Zhen Huan.
When Yongzheng was dying, Zhen Huan chose to tell Jinghe that he was the child of Imperial Physician Wen, but the reason why he did not admit that the dragon and phoenix fetus was the king of Guojun was also made clear. Zhen Huan is well versed in Yongzheng's heart, and through selective informing, Yongzheng will not be able to know the most critical answer at the last moment of his life. Such a hundred turns and thousands of thoughts make people admire Zhen Huan's wisdom and calmness. Perhaps, it is precisely because of this profound emotion and complex character relationships that "The Legend of Zhen Huan" has become a classic of ancient court-themed TV dramas.
