Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

All the concubines in the harem gathered in Xianfu Palace. Concubine Shen was still unconscious, and only Concubine Wan was guarding the inner room. An agreed to follow Yi Xin and Concubine Xia to Xianfu Palace, but he was too embarrassed to enter the inner room.

The emperor looked solemn, especially when he heard Concubine Hua pleading for justice for him.

The emperor also knew that it was Concubine Hua who did this, but he was more worried that Concubine Shen had direct evidence. Although he was the one who brought Concubine Shen forward to check and balance Concubine Hua, as long as Nian Gengyao did not fall, he would not really punish Concubine Hua. After all, he did feel a little guilty towards Concubine Hua.

Everyone knew that Concubine Hua was telling a joke, but no one could say anything unless the Emperor pursued the matter. Even if the Empress was unhappy, she could only hint with words that Concubine Shen had suffered.

The emperor generously rewarded a lot of medicinal materials and ordered the Imperial Hospital to do its best to treat Concubine Shen. However, Concubine Wan was not happy at all after hearing these words, because the emperor did not punish Concubine Hua at all.

After a while, voices were heard in the room. The emperor was about to get up and go in, but was stopped by the imperial physician who had just come out. The emperor hurriedly asked about Concubine Shen's condition, but heard the imperial physician hesitantly say, "Concubine Shen has woken up, but the cold has entered her body, so she will have a cold. And most importantly, Concubine Shen fell into the water this time, which may affect her offspring..."

The emperor had already prepared for this, so he ordered the imperial physician, "No matter what method you use, you must cure Concubine Shen!"

After saying this, the emperor went into the inner room, followed by the others. At this time, Consort Xia pulled Yi Xin's sleeve and exclaimed, "This is too cruel!"

Upon hearing this, Concubine Hua glared at her, scaring Concubine Xia so much that she shrank behind Yi Xin like a quail. Yi Xin did not hide either, but looked back at Concubine Hua straightly, which made Concubine Hua feel very uncomfortable.

Cao Guiren, who was beside Concubine Hua, quickly stepped forward to remind Concubine Hua: "Your Majesty, Concubine Shen is more important right now."

Concubine Hua then snorted coldly and went into the room. She saw that Concubine Shen was just a little pale. As for what the imperial physician had just said about the impact on her offspring, Concubine Hua wished that Concubine Shen and Concubine Wan would never be able to have children again. How could she care about it?

Seeing that Concubine Shen dared to show hatred on her face, Concubine Hua laughed and said, "Concubine Shen is awake now? It shows that girls who come from military families have to be stronger than others."

After hearing this, Wan Guiren was also indignant. She turned to Hua Fei and said, "Yes, Sister Mei is blessed by heaven. Even if some people are cunning and vicious, they can't succeed."

Concubine Shen had thought it through. Everyone knew that it was Concubine Hua who did it. But if the emperor really wanted to punish Concubine Hua, unless there was solid evidence, it would only make her suffer in vain. So Concubine Shen sat up with the help of Concubine Wan and said to the emperor: "I'm sorry to bother all the ladies and sisters in the harem to run around for today's matter. I didn't see the person who came at the time, so I'm afraid I can't find out anything. Please don't worry about it..."

The emperor felt more and more guilty, and only left a message asking Concubine Shen to take good care of her health and asking Concubine Wan to stay with Concubine Shen more, and then he left.

After the emperor left, Concubine Hua had no interest in staying and left directly. However, when she passed by Yi Xin, she reminded Yi Xin hypocritically, "Noble Lady Jin is protecting Concubine Xia, but I don't know if Concubine Xia will get into more trouble one day. Can you, Fu Cha, handle it?"

Yi Xin smiled and said, "Everyone in the harem knows that I am just blessed by my uncle, but my uncle did not support the emperor during the time of the previous emperor. He can still stand in the court now, but it is because of the rule of not changing his father's way for three years. My Fucha family is not as good as General Nian, the sun, the middle, and the sky."

Concubine Hua really hated Yi Xin's confident look. Seeing that the Nian family couldn't afford to offend Fu Cha, she could use her status as a concubine to suppress Yi Xin, a noble lady, but she had to be cautious.

So he could only snort coldly and not bother with Yi Xin.

Upon seeing this, the Queen immediately raised her vigilance towards Yi Xin to the highest level. Yi Xin provoked Concubine Hua in front of so many concubines, but Concubine Hua still never took action against Yi Xin. This was not in the Queen's interest, especially since Yi Xin was still young and there was a high possibility that she would give birth to a prince for the Emperor. By then, the prince of the Fucha family would be able to suppress all the current princes. She would never allow anyone to shake her position!

So the next day, many things with added ingredients appeared in the Yanxi Palace. First, the food delivered was incompatible with each other. Then, the newly delivered food was fumigated with drugs that were harmful to the body. Then, even the tea leaves were laced with ingredients.

Seeing the place filled with things, Xizhu and Sang'er didn't dare to speak.

Yi Xin was unmoved, and leisurely took a sip of the teacup, even praising it: "I still prefer the black tea we brought from home."

Sang'er was getting anxious: "My lady, you are still talking about tea leaves. The tea in these boxes is all drugged!"

Xizhu also said hesitantly: "In the harem, the only people who can have such means, besides Concubine Hua, are the Empress..."

When Yi Xin heard that Xizhu was more suspicious of the queen, she immediately became interested and asked Xizhu with interest: "Why do you suspect that these are all tricks of the queen?"

When Sang'er saw Xizhu's look, she walked straight to the door and guarded it. It was not easy for her to go out at this time. After all, everyone in the palace knew that she was Yi Xin's confidant brought out from home. If she went out to guard the door, there was no guarantee that someone would not see her, and what they said in the room at this time might be leaked out.

Sang'er lowered his voice and said to Yi Xin, "Although the Empress has rarely held power since entering the palace, my lady, please don't forget that the Empress Dowager was born into the Uya clan. Over the years, the Uya clan's status in the Ministry of Internal Affairs has been rising steadily. After the Emperor ascended the throne, they often regarded themselves as relatives. Even though the Empress Dowager values ​​the Ulanara clan, who is related to her, the Uya clan has gained just as much power and status from it!"

"More importantly, even if the Queen Mother disagrees with the Queen Mother's decision to deal with you, there is no guarantee that the Queen Mother will use her childlessness to convince the Queen Mother that her position as Queen is unstable. If that happens, you will have to face the Queen Mother's murderous hands."

Xizhu guessed correctly. The Queen Mother was indeed worried that Yi Xin would get in the way of the Queen's affairs, so the Queen Mother was somewhat happy to see the Queen take action against Yi Xin at this time.

Yi Xin did not hide it from Xizhu and Sang'er and said directly: "I may be pregnant, so these things have to rely on your Dong's methods to deal with them safely."

"I have no intention of confronting the Queen right now, but the Queen Mother's attitude makes me very dissatisfied. I want you, the Dong family, to take the Queen Mother's life as a token of your loyalty to me."

Xizhu was surprised and delighted when she heard this. She was surprised that Yi Xin actually attacked the Queen Mother directly, but she was also happy that Yi Xin was very likely pregnant with a prince!

Xizhu confirmed again and again: "My dear, are you sure?"

Yi Xin did not feel that Xizhu's question was an offense at all, and replied with a smile: "Of course I know my body best. I only served the emperor for three days, but before entering the palace, I carefully took care of myself for half a year in order to conceive an heir as soon as possible."

Xizhu didn't really want to question Yixin, but Dong was previously prepared to hand over all the people in the palace, but now Yixin raised something even more difficult, so of course she had to be more cautious.
