Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang set fire to the back hall of Tangli Palace, and Shen Meizhuang herself burned her arm.

This incident made Xuan Ling furious, and he ordered the Queen and Concubine Jing to interrogate Murong Shilan.

If Murong Shilan is found guilty of arson, she will be banished to the cold palace.

Eunuch Suxi confessed without even being tortured, and Murong Shilan was banished to the cold palace that same day.

Seeing the current situation in the palace and her own family background that she could not rely on, Concubine Jing Feng Ruozhao tried to reveal some information to Murong Shilan.

Zhen Huan brought Xiao Lianzi to the cold palace to meet Murong Shilan. She told Murong Shilan that Yu was executed here that day and Zhen Huan watched Yu die with her own eyes.

Li Chang, who was beside Xuan Ling, appeared at this time, holding a black wooden tray containing a dagger, poison wine and white silk.

When Zhen Huan saw that Murong Shilan was not going to die, she told her the secret of Huan Yixiang.

Zhen Huan accused Xuan Ling of taking advantage of Murong Shilan's affection for her over the years, and Murong Shilan really decided to commit suicide by hitting her head against a pillar.

However, the people around Xuan Ling quickly stepped forward and stopped Murong Shilan.

Xuan Ling came in with a cold face and saw Murong Shilan's determination.

Xuan Ling asked Zhen Huan coldly: "Why are you here?"

Zhen Huan was a little flustered, Xuan Ling turned his head and said, "Murong has been reinstated as a noble concubine and will live back in Mixiu Palace."

Zhen Huan shook her body and shouted at Xuan Ling with anger on her face: "Your Majesty, Murong is guilty of heinous crimes!"

The emperor ignored Zhen Huan, stepped forward and took Murong Shilan into his arms, and comforted her softly: "Shilan, don't be as confused as before."

Murong Shilan's face was covered with tears, and she cried loudly in Xuan Ling's arms.

Xuan Ling stayed in Mi Xiu Palace for seven days. Murong Shilan returned in a strong manner, and everyone in the harem was shocked.

The Empress Dowager summoned Xuan Ling to Yining Palace, and the mother and son stayed there for two quarters of an hour, but the Emperor still did not change his mind.

Zhen Huan was extremely angry, and Shen Meizhuang almost went crazy.

Seeing Xuan Ling's favor for Murong Shilan, the two knew they could not deal with Murong Shilan, so they could only turn to deal with Cao Qinmo.

Zhen Huan sent Wen Shichu to drug Cao Qinmo, and within half a month, Cao Qinmo died.

Princess Wenyi, born to Cao Qinmo, was assigned by Xuan Ling to be raised by Concubine Murong, and Murong Shilan's biological mother was also changed on the jade disc.

After all Zhen Huan's planning, she ended up making wedding dresses for Murong Shilan.

Concubine Duan did not show it on her face but she felt very regretful in her heart that she did not get the custody of Princess Wen Yi.

But Concubine Duan did not have long to feel regretful, as she fell seriously ill and died a month later.

In February of the following year, Zhen Huan was promoted to the first of the nine concubines and the second-rank Zhaoyi.

Zhen Huan had little experience and had not given birth yet, so when the decree came out, everyone was shocked by Zhen Huan's promotion.

An Lingrong was promoted to the rank of fourth rank Fenyi, and her canonization ceremony took place on the same day as Zhen Huan, February 12.

On the day of the enthronement ceremony, the Queen used Queen Chunyuan's old clothes to make Zhen Huan lose her position as Zhaoyi.

When Zhen Huan learned that she was a substitute, she walked back to Tangli Palace alone in her skirt.

After returning to Tangli Palace, Zhen Huan found out that she was pregnant, but Xuan Ling never came to Tangli Palace.

The scar-removing glue had been replaced long ago, and no one knew that it once contained a large amount of musk.

At the end of September, Zhen Huan learned that Zhen Heng and Xue Qiantao were imprisoned. The Zhen family was confined to their residence, and Xue Qiantao's family was also implicated.

Zhen Huan learned from Wen Shichu that it was the prostitute Jiayi who redeemed herself and reported the Zhen family.

An incident also happened in the palace. Ruipin, the daughter of a meritorious official, committed suicide to prove her father, Lord Luo's innocence.

Feeling uneasy, Zhen Huan wrote a letter and sent it to Xuan Ling along with a love knot.

Xuan Ling summoned Zhen Huan to Yiyuan Hall and told her that Zhen Heng had been exiled to Lingnan and Zhen Yuandao had been demoted to the governor of Jiangzhou and sent to northern Sichuan.

An Lingrong came in again and reported: "Mrs. Zhen and the young master are seriously ill with malaria and can no longer be saved."

As if An Lingrong was afraid that Zhen Huan couldn't hear her, she leaned closer to Zhen Huan's ear and said, "It's impossible to save her!"
