After they calmed down, they understood that it was Concubine Hua who wanted to frame Shen Meiyu for a fake pregnancy. Faking a pregnancy to win favor is a serious crime. Concubine Hua was really cruel this time.

Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang were planning to take revenge, but An Lingrong said, "Although Hua Fei is hateful, she is the 'open spear'. We all know that she is the culprit for everything Hua Fei did. But just because we all know that she is the culprit, we should put down the 'open spear' first and guard against the 'hidden arrow'."

"What do you mean?" Zhen Huan asked curiously.

An Lingrong looked at Shen Meizhuang and said, "Sister, do you remember that since you became pregnant, the Queen has given you many rewards, but I took most of them."

Shen Meizhuang nodded. She also felt that An Lingrong was strange those days, but after all, An Lingrong had never asked her directly for anything, so now that she asked, she would naturally give it to her. She was very curious why An Lingrong said this.

"I have reminded you two sisters before to be careful of the Queen. The Queen buried musk kernels in your Sui Yuxuan and planted spies in my palace. When I checked the things she gave to Sister Mei, I found that they all contained musk. Pregnant women will have miscarriages if they smell it for a long time." As she spoke, An Lingrong took out a red bracelet that the Queen had previously awarded to Shen Meiyu, pried open the secret compartment in the bracelet in front of the two of them, and poured out the musk hidden inside.

Shen Meizhuang was extremely scared at this moment. Although Shen Meizhuang was calm, she was still a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl after all. After experiencing so much, she was naturally very scared.

Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang knew that the Queen was not as simple as she appeared, but they did not expect her to be so vicious.

Finally, after repeated persuasion from An Lingrong, Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang decided to put Concubine Hua aside and focus on dealing with the Queen. After all, Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang knew that it was easier to dodge an open attack than to defend against an arrow from the dark.

The three of them discussed a plan. Since the people who came to visit Shen Meiyu were not as close as Zhen Huan and An Lingrong, and would not go indoors, the three of them put all the Queen's rewards indoors.

They asked Wei Lin, who was by An Lingrong's side, to prepare a medicine that would cause a miscarriage due to musk, and even pulse diagnosis would reveal nothing. Then they arranged for their confidants to ensure that no one from the Queen's group would secretly take these things away.

As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend, so An Lingrong reported the matter to Concubine Hua, and tactfully expressed the hope to get a helping hand from Concubine Hua.

That afternoon, Concubine Hua sent someone to deliver a box of Dong'e Ejiao to An Lingrong, asking her to take good care of the pregnancy, and told her that Concubine Hua knew about it.

In the Qingliang Palace, Concubine Hua was sitting in the palace eating ice watermelon. She looked at Cao Qinmo and said, "This An Lingrong is quite capable. I didn't expect she also knows about fragrance."

After all, every time An Lingrong came, she brought a notebook for Hua Fei, so Hua Fei didn't know that An Lingrong could make perfume. But even if she could, it would be useless. Hua Fei already had Huanyi incense and didn't need the ones made by An Lingrong.

"Your Majesty, I have a plan that can bring down the Queen in one fell swoop." Because the fake pregnancy frame-up failed, Concubine Hua told her today that she planned to use Wen Yi to bring down Zhen Huan. Wen Yi was Cao Qinmo's lifeblood, and she certainly couldn't allow this to happen, so she quickly tried to find a way to see if Concubine Hua could let Wen Yi go.

"Oh, what can I do?"

Cao Qinmo said quickly: "Rou Guiren told the Empress about this mainly because she wanted the Empress to stop Doctor Zhang. It is obvious that Doctor Zhang is someone close to the Empress. When we notify the imperial physicians, we will find a way to stop Doctor Zhang and not let him know the news. When the Emperor wants to confirm, we will say how good Doctor Zhang is and how much the Empress trusts him. Let the Emperor summon him, and then we will quickly ask the other doctors to withdraw, under the pretext that it will not affect Doctor Zhang's performance or that there are too many people. Doctor Zhang is the Empress's person and does not know the truth, so he will definitely speak for the Empress. By then, the Emperor will be furious, and even if the Empress Dowager can save the Empress, there will be no trustworthy doctors around her."

Hua Fei snorted coldly and said, "I will not let the queen be saved so easily. I have long disliked the queen. I never thought that this seemingly virtuous queen likes to do small things in secret. This time, I must bring her down."

Cao Qinmo naturally knew what Concubine Hua was thinking, so she quickly flattered her: "That's right, by then, based on your family background and favor, that position will be easily within your reach."

Hua Fei said proudly and somewhat yearningly: "Of course, I love the emperor the most, and I am the only one who is most suitable to stand beside the emperor."

Both sides had their own plans. An Lingrong was eating Dong'e Ejiao Longan Soup in Luxiangzhai, thinking: Queen, humph.
