"The Legend of Zhen Huan" Why did the Queen Mother let Zhen Huan go after knowing that the twins were not the emperor's?

The plot in "The Legend of Zhen Huan" is really surprising. At first, everyone thought that Concubine Hua was the most sinister and vicious one, but at the end, they realized that it would make people stop barking. The queen is the one with the deepest secrets in the harem, but no matter how many people stir up troubles in the harem, there is still one person who sees the situation clearly, and that is the Queen Mother? Tuya, she He is the biggest boss in the harem.

In fact, after the Empress Dowager and the Emperor brought Zhen Huan back from Ganlu Temple, the Empress Dowager already suspected that Zhen Huan was not the Emperor's concubine, and it was basically confirmed later. It can be seen from several details. It can be seen:

Firstly, Zhen Huan's belly has always been larger than normal since she became pregnant. And this, as the Queen Mother who was used to seeing pregnant women, she could tell at a glance.

Secondly, Zhen Huan was born prematurely when she was 7 and a half months old. Not only was she fine, but the child was no different from a normal child. This is already very strange. Logically speaking, there are many premature babies. There will be some difference.

Thirdly, although the Queen Mother is suspicious, she has no evidence. So when Zhen Huan was born into a twin of a dragon and a phoenix. Immediately sent Zhuxi to inquire about the news, saying that the Queen Mother wanted to see these two children. Zhen Huan was actually in a panic at that time, but Yong Zheng lost his mind because he was so surprised. He said: One of the two children is like Zhen Huan, and the other is like himself. Zhen Huan felt at ease, but she was not stupid. She could tell at a glance who he looked like. At least, he didn't look like Yongzheng, because Yongzheng had dark skin when he was born, but these two children were white and fat.

Then why did the Queen Mother not expose Zhen Huan directly after knowing that Zhen Huan's children were not Yongzheng's?

01. In order to check and balance the Queen

At that time, Zhen Huan was to be brought back to the harem, and the Queen Mother did a lot of work. The Queen Mother will never fight a purposeless war. She brought Zhen Huan back just to check and balance the Queen. Because at that time, the queen had sole power in the harem and killed her children. The harem seemed peaceful, but it was monopolized by the queen. As the Queen Mother, although she was familiar with this situation, in order to keep the position of Ulanara, she had no good strategy. The best way was to use Zhen Huan as a gun to balance the Queen.

After all, the Queen Mother had strongly supported this matter before. If she were to be exposed, wouldn't it be a slap in the face? The key is that the Queen should not be allowed to do evil. If Zhen Huan is punished, what will happen to the Queen Mother's plan? Not drowned?

02. Afraid of having a rift with Yongzheng

It should be said that Yongzheng regarded Zhen Huan as a pure Yuan at first, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that in the end he did fall in love with Zhen Huan. Maybe you only know how to cherish after you lose it. Yong Zheng only realized this after Zhen Huan left. But he himself couldn't show off his face, so even though there were many beauties around him, he still felt depressed. It's not that the Queen Mother didn't know about this.

If the Queen Mother exposed Zhen Huan, then Zhen Huan would definitely be punished, but the person who exposed it was Yong Zheng who both loved and hated him. The Queen Mother and Yong Zheng were somewhat at odds with each other because of Longkoduo's affairs. Naturally, the Queen Mother did not want to offend Yong Zheng at this juncture.

03. Leave a concubine to Prince Guo

In fact, if you think about it carefully, it was after Zhen Huan was demoted to Ganlu Temple. The Queen Mother still sent Zhuxi to check it out. Therefore, Zhen Huan is already a useless concubine, but there are many eyes and ears in the palace, so the Queen Mother is not blind to what is going on outside the window. Others don't know, but the Queen Mother must have heard something. Later, after it was confirmed that it was not Yongzheng's child, I probably had some guesses.

If the Queen Mother exposes Zhen Huan, even if Zhen Huan survives, according to Yong Zheng's character, the two children will definitely die without a burial place, and the king will not have any good fruits to eat. . The key point is that the relationship between Prince Guo and the Queen Mother is also good, so the Queen Mother naturally wants to keep Prince Guo alive.

04. Afraid of losing royal face

The royal face is bigger than the sky, especially in the feudal era. If the Queen Mother exposes Zhen Huan's affair, no matter what she does, she will not be able to stop it, and the whole world will have her mouth open.

If people knew that these two children were not from Yongzheng, wouldn't everyone in the world laugh out loud? How could the Queen Mother do such a stupid thing?
