Concubine Hua was surrounded by false beauty in the harem.

In the previous dynasty, censors led by Zhen Yuandao and E Min began to impeach Nian Gengyao in waves, and two important officials, Zhang Tingyu and Longkodo, also assisted.

This time, the emperor no longer kept the impeachment to himself as in the past, but ordered it to be verified.

There was never a shortage of smart people in the court, and the emperor's attitude gave everyone countless speculations, and those with smart minds began to agree.

A few days later, Nian Gengyao's servant Wei Zhiyao was imprisoned by the Ministry of Justice after his property was searched and his property was searched for corruption. The emperor severely reprimanded Nian Gengyao for this matter, saying that he relied on his subordinates to enrich himself.

The Nian clan in the court were secretly frightened and were watching the emperor's next move.

The emperor stayed in Yiku Palace for the next few days, and Concubine Hua was still in great favor, so the hearts of the young people finally relaxed a little.

Concubine Cao felt uneasy again, and she carefully recalled what had happened in the garden that day.

At noon that day, the emperor ordered the opera Niangziguan at Yumingqin Pavilion and invited Concubine Hua to listen to the opera.

Hua Fei was overjoyed to receive the Emperor's invitation to watch a play alone. She wanted to show off her joy, so she took Concubine Cao with her.

They met Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang on the way.

Zhen Huan and Concubine Hua had been enemies for a long time, and they had always been at loggerheads whenever they met in private. Shen Meizhuang had always been a dignified person, and one could rarely tell her likes or dislikes for people from her facial expression. But today, when Concubine Hua and Zhen Huan had another verbal conflict, there was actually pity in Shen Meizhuang's eyes when she looked at Concubine Hua.

mercy?

Concubine Cao was thinking about everything that had happened in the past six months. When An Lingrong asked her if she wanted to take a further step, she only told her four words, "loyal and loyal to the master." Although she had some guesses in her heart, she had no clear evidence. When she saw Shen Meiyu's eyes today, she knew in her heart that the emperor was going to take action against the Nian family.

Everything that Concubine Hua saw today were just means of paralysis.

Concubine Cao was afraid that if Concubine Hua fell, the evil things she had done for Concubine Hua would implicate her.

She looked at the sleeping Wen Yi, thinking intently about the four words that An Lingrong said. What exactly did they mean?

At this time in Qingliang Palace, Concubine Hua sat in front of the dressing table without saying a word.

The emperor looked over several times, but she looked depressed, so he had no choice but to ask:

"what's wrong?"

Concubine Hua frowned slightly, her face full of grievance, and murmured in a low voice: "I feel very upset." But she didn't say what it was.

The emperor had no choice but to look at Songzhi: "You speak."

Songzhi looked as if she was standing up for Concubine Hua: "Your Majesty, the Queen met Concubine Wan in the garden today." She didn't dare to say anything wrong about Zhen Huan openly, but her actions and words showed that it was because of Concubine Wan that her master was uncomfortable.

The emperor walked over from the bedside, stroked Hua Fei's long hair, and coaxed her softly, "But what did Wan Fei say that bothered you?"

Hua Fei tilted her head back slightly, leaning her whole back against the emperor's arms, and complained, "Wanpin has a sharp tongue. Every time I meet her, I get so angry that my chest feels stuffy and dizzy. Today, she even spoke wildly and was disrespectful to me. Your Majesty, can you do anything about it?"

The emperor knew the grudge between the two. If Zhen Huan really treated her with respect, Hua Fei would definitely be suspicious. Hua Fei's move was just to ask for more favor from him. He chuckled and continued to coax her, "You are being petty again. I have long known that Wan Concubine is eloquent and even I can't win the argument with her sometimes, so I like to come to you. You and I have been friends for many years, and you have always been straightforward. You never care about these little things, right?"

Hua Fei also understood that the verbal conflict would not affect Zhen Huan. All she wanted was for the emperor to care about her. She smiled coquettishly and said, "Since the emperor has said so, what else can I do? I can only be generous and ignore Wanpin's rash words. But the emperor must compensate me."

Seeing that she was easy to coax, the emperor laughed even more happily: "Okay, I have something in my storehouse, you can pick whatever you like."

Concubine Hua had no choice but to agree.

The night is cool and starlit.

Zhen Huan took Huanbi out to enjoy the cool air.

There was no one around, so Huanbi gently advised, "Eldest sister, it's windy at night, you'd better stay out less, otherwise your body will not be able to bear it again."

Zhen Huan had been too distracted by her thoughts recently, and the quiet night scene made her relax. She stretched out her arms and said with a smile, "It's a quiet night, and the lights are bright. Taking a walk at this time will make me feel like a free little fairy."

Huanbi thought of Concubine Hua's arrogant look today and asked her worriedly, "Are you worried about what happened during the day?"

Zhen Huan had long regarded Hua Fei as a caged animal. She laughed contemptuously and said, "A person who bared his teeth and claws is not worth dealing with. However, when you see her in the future, you must be more respectful than before, so as not to suffer from her again."

Huanbi took a step forward, held her arm, and walked forward slowly: "Don't worry, elder sister, I have learned my lesson from the last incident. I will not act impulsively again and let you be held hostage by others again."

Zhen Huan smiled and patted her arm twice, saying to her: "Father has been promoted now. When everything is settled, I will arrange a good family for you so that you don't have to live cautiously every day in the palace."

Huanbi thought of that noble figure again. She shook her head and refused, "Eldest sister, it is difficult to have a peaceful life in the palace. I know how you have lived these past two years. If I leave, you will have a harder time, so I can't leave."

Experience is always more convincing than people teaching people. Zhen Huan was very pleased with Huanbi's growth. She had already planned for Huanbi, but she couldn't find a good opportunity, so she couldn't say it out loud. She nodded and said, "You care about me, so I will consider it for you. There is no rush. We can talk about it in two years."

Huanbi wanted to say a few more words, but Xiao Yunzi came over from afar, so she had to let go of Zhen Huan's hand and took a step back to pretend to serve.

When Xiao Yunzi approached, Zhen Huan knew something was wrong from his expression, and hurriedly followed him back to Bitong Academy.

After the three of them walked away, Concubine Cao and Yinxiu walked out from under the big tree next to them.

It was hard for Concubine Cao to think of the specific meaning of those four words in the palace, so she had to ask the wet nurse to take good care of Wen Yi, and she took her maid to the garden to relax. Unexpectedly, she saw Zhen Huan and her servant from afar at the corner. She didn't want to confront Zhen Huan for a moment, so she had to hide under a nearby tree with Yinxiu.

It was windy at night, and the two spoke in very low voices. She did not hear clearly what they said, but she saw the intimate behavior between Huanbi and Zhen Huan.

Under the dim night light, the outlines of the two were extremely similar. Concubine Cao thought of Huanbi burning paper, and her heart suddenly shuddered. Her thoughts began to diversify, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that she had discovered some incredible secret.

In Bitong Academy.

"Your Majesty, Lord Zhen sent a message that what Concubine Wen said is true. Lord Zhen will find an opportunity to impeach Song Shidao. Please rest assured, Your Majesty."

Zhen Huan smiled knowingly. Her father's news came at the right time. Once her father took action, she would have nothing to say to the Emperor.
