Concubine Hua immediately retorted to Zhen Huan: "Concubine Wan has always relied on her clever words to push things off the table and get away with it. But today is different. You have been caught in the act, and you can still just talk yourself out of it?"

Concubine Cao chimed in, "I have given birth before, and I did have times when I felt hot. But I know very well that I cannot take off my shoes and socks in broad daylight, no matter how hot it is."

The emperor looked at Prince Guo, then at Zhen Huan who was holding her belly, and said, "Yun Li offended the imperial concubines, so he is demoted to Beile and confined to the palace to reflect on his mistakes."

Prince Guo became Prince Guo and bowed: "Your humble servant accepts the punishment and thanks the Lord for His grace."

Seeing that the Emperor was about to speak, Zhen Huan closed her eyes and fainted.

The emperor saw Zhen Huan fainted, but he did not soften his heart and still said, "Zhen has violated the palace rules. She will be stripped of her title and demoted to a concubine. She will be confined to Suiyuxuan and wait for the birth of her baby."

Prince Dun was about to speak, but his wife, who was quick-witted and quick-handed, blocked his mouth and held him down.

Hua Fei thought the emperor's punishment was too light and was about to speak, but the emperor stood up and said, "Su Peisheng, go back to the Qinzheng Palace."

Su Peisheng flicked his whisk and replied, "Yes."

Everyone knelt to see the emperor off, and Zhen Huan was still unconscious on the ground.

After the emperor left, Concubine Cao walked over and said to Concubine Hua, "Your Majesty, there are many people here today, and Miss Zhen has been confined to her house. We still have a lot of time to live."

Concubine Hua retracted her gaze, looked at the embarrassed Zhen Huan on the ground, and snorted coldly: "She is lucky."

After Shen Meizhuang got the news, Zhen Huan had already been sent on the carriage back to the palace.

The emperor was angry for three days. After the empress went to the Yangxin Palace, the emperor began to summon people to accompany him again.

Concubine Chun was the most favored. She would go to the Qinzheng Palace to serve the emperor during the day, and even though she could not sleep with the emperor at night, she had to accompany him.

Concubine Hua was suddenly ignored, and the emperor refused to accept the food she sent to the Qinzheng Palace.

Concubine Hua became anxious and turned her attention to Princess Wen Yi.

Sure enough, as soon as Princess Wen Yi fell ill, the emperor came.

An Lingrong's father, An Bihuai, met with an accident just like in the previous life, but this time Xia Dongchun was there. The two of them went to the Qinzheng Palace together, and the emperor ordered to investigate the matter of An Bihuai.

Soon, An Bihuai was released by the emperor because he was not involved in the case of embezzlement of grain and fodder.

More than a month passed, and the imperial physician in the palace suddenly reported that Zhen Huan had no pulse.

The Queen informed the Emperor of this, who was furious and sent Zhang Mi, the director of the Imperial Hospital, back to the palace to check Zhen Huan's pulse, but the result was that Zhen Huan was not pregnant at all.

The emperor felt deeply deceived, but he couldn't bear to see Zhen Huan's face.

After thinking about it for a day, the next day, the emperor issued an order to demote Zhen Huan to a concubine and fined her one-year monthly salary as punishment.

Concubine Hua was very dissatisfied. Princess Wen Yi was sick more often and the Emperor visited her less often.

During this period, because of her fall from favor, Concubine Hua also figured it out. She was too anxious at the time and dragged Zhen Huan and Yun Li in front of the emperor in public. If the emperor admitted to being cuckolded, then where would the emperor's authority be, and the emperor would definitely be ridiculed.

The emperor has not summoned Hua Fei these days, and he must feel that Hua Fei has hurt his face.

Concubine Hua also knew that she was wrong, but since the emperor was not coming, she felt upset and could only make trouble for Princess Wen Yi and Cao Qinmo.

Zhen Huan faked her pregnancy to deceive the emperor, but she hasn't been executed by the emperor yet. Concubine Hua was furious.

Fang Chunyi was still favored by the emperor, which made Concubine Hua even more worried. She called Cao Qinmo over to find a solution.
