Before dark, An Lingrong returned with the imperial physician.

Shen Meizhuang had just finished kneeling for four hours when she and Concubine Jing limped up being helped up by palace servants.

Shen Meizhuang looked back at the plaque of Jingren Palace and said, "Caiyue, help me go to Shoukang Palace."

Caiyue advised: "It's already dark, the Queen Mother must be asleep."

"Your Highness has been kneeling for a whole day. It won't be too late to go again when your legs are better."

Shen Meizhuang shook her head and said, "No, the Queen suddenly changed her temper today. I'm afraid there will be changes in Huan'er's return to the palace."

"For Huan'er, even if my legs are broken, I have to go and ask the Queen Mother for help."

Caiyue couldn't bear it and wanted to persuade her, but seeing Shen Meizhuang's resolute expression, she had no choice but to agree, "Yes."

Caiyue and Caixing supported Shen Meizhuang and stumbled all the way to Shoukang Palace.

Aunt Zhuxi came out and said, "Princess Hui, please go back. The Queen Mother has gone to bed."

Shen Meizhuang begged, "I have something important to discuss with the Queen Mother. Please pass it on, Auntie."

Zhu Xi changed his usual enthusiasm and replied in a businesslike manner, "The Empress Dowager is ill. She finally went to bed early today to rest for a while. Concubine Hui, please don't disturb the Empress Dowager's recovery."

Shen Meizhuang looked into the hall and saw clearly a bright candlelight in the direction of the bedroom.

Seeing this, there was nothing Shen Meizhuang didn't understand.

The Queen Mother is the same as the Empress, and doesn't want Huan'er to return to the palace.

Shen Meizhuang knelt down with a plop and said, "I will wait here for the Queen Mother to wake up."

Zhu Xi did not try to persuade him, but turned around and went in and closed the door.

An Lingrong sat in the sedan chair, looking at Shen Meizhuang kneeling on the ground, and said, "Sister Shen and Sister Zhen, you really have a deep sisterly love."

Bao Juan said, "Good sisters don't benefit from it, but if they are guilty, they will be implicated."

An Lingrong sneered and said, "My sister Zhen is an unlucky person. If you follow her, you will not end up well."

After An Lingrong finished speaking, she looked at Shen Meiyu for a while before getting up from the sedan chair and leaving.

Caiyue noticed An Lingrong behind her and whispered to Shen Meizhuang, "Madam, Concubine An is watching from behind."

When Shen Meizhuang heard the name An Lingrong, she looked displeased and said coldly, "Let her watch, she is such a heartless person."

"It's a waste of Huan'er's kindness to her in the past. At this moment, she is silent."

Caiyue wanted to say: Since the Queen Mother and the Empress do not agree, then it is not impossible to wait for a while and return to the palace after the child is born.

The Queen Mother would never let her grandson live outside, so why is she in such a hurry to return to the palace?

But Caiyue could only think about it in her heart. She could only listen to what her master wanted.

Shen Meizhuang was kneeling when Imperial Physician Zhang and Imperial Physician Yang came to Shoukang Palace to ask for a meeting.

Aunt Zhuxi came out and personally welcomed the two of them in, and ignored the kneeling Shen Meizhuang.

After Doctor Zhang and Doctor Yang exchanged greetings, Doctor Zhang knelt down and reported, "Your Majesty, Doctor Yang and I went to check Zhen's pulse, but were repeatedly stopped by the people around Zhen."

"In the end, it was Concubine An who led the people and suppressed the people who tried to stop them."

Doctor Zhang glanced at Doctor Yang and continued, "Dr. Yang and I checked Zhen's pulse and found that she is three months pregnant."

Three months? The emperor left the palace and went to Ganlu Temple two months ago.

The Queen Mother covered her chest with her hands and bit her tongue to stop the blood that was about to come out.

Aunt Zhuxi sent the two doctors away and came in to comfort them, "Your Highness, you have also been deceived."

The Queen Mother smiled coldly and looked towards the outside of the palace.
