After a moment of distraction, Zhen Huan realized that she had said the wrong thing.

In fact, she would never really kill the child. She was just angry at the emperor's inaction. She was angry that the emperor doted on her just for the sake of Queen Chunyuan.

She didn't know that she existed as a substitute for Queen Chunyuan.

It is even more unclear whether the emperor treats her this way because of her as a person or because her face looks like Queen Chunyuan.

I don't understand, when the emperor was entangled with her for so many years, was he thinking about her or Queen Chunyuan...

But once you are angry, it is hard to take back what you said.

And the moment Yinzhen said the word "outrageous", she and Liuzhu both knelt down.

I felt terrified and hopeless.

“You know what you are talking about!”

Yinzhen gritted his teeth and looked at Zhen Huan with some anger in his eyes.

No matter what the Imperial Observatory said, he did not express his opinion. Even though the child in his belly showed ominous signs, he did not think about what to do.

But now his beloved woman is actually saying that she wants to kill the baby in her belly because of her incompetent father!

That being the case...

He made up his mind, "Originally, I was worried about your pregnancy and couldn't bear to punish your father too much, but now it seems unnecessary!"

After he finished speaking, he raised his hand and motioned Su Peisheng to come forward.

Su Peisheng immediately stepped forward cautiously, "Your Majesty."

Zhen Huan seemed to realize that something was wrong. She immediately knelt forward and grabbed Yinzhen's clothes. "Your Majesty, it was I who spoke rudely. I am willing to bear all the punishments alone. I only ask Your Majesty to forgive my father. My father is innocent..."

But Yinzhen was too lazy to listen to her, or perhaps he was too angry about the matter to care about anything else.

Yinzhen said coldly, "Zhen Yuandao is dismissed from his post and imprisoned. Ten days later, Zhen and her family will be exiled to Ningguta!"

With these words, Zhen Huan was stunned on the spot.

Regardless of her pregnancy, she pretended to step forward and grabbed Yinzhen's feet and begged desperately.

"All the mistakes are my fault. Please forgive me, Your Majesty. Ningguta is extremely cold and my parents are old and weak, and my sister is young. How can I bear this? Please think twice!"

Without waiting for her to finish, Yinzhen walked away without paying any attention to the people's pleadings behind him.

He only ordered Su Peisheng, "Send Concubine Wan back to Suiyuxuan. No one is allowed to visit her without my order."

"Yes."

Su Peisheng received the order and immediately walked back to Zhen Huan. "Your Highness is pregnant, and the weather is about to change. You are still wearing so thin. You'd better return to Sui Yuxuan as soon as possible!"

As he spoke, he and Liu Zhu helped Zhen Huan up.

But Zhen Huan was already physically weak, and after such a blow, she fainted.

“My queen…My queen!”

Su Peisheng saw that the situation was not good, and immediately called out to the eunuchs, "Quick, call the imperial physician, call the imperial physician!"

……

The news of Zhen Huan fainting in the Imperial Garden spread throughout the palace.

But now, the emperor has ordered the closure of Suiyuxuan.

Even though Shen Meizhuang was extremely anxious, she couldn't go in to take a look.

At this time, Shen Meizhuang couldn't get in, but someone in Sui Yuxuan was busy moving things out.

This person is Concubine Qi.

Zhen Huan was under house arrest, weak and pregnant. When she returned to the palace, Concubine Qi immediately went to ask the Empress for instructions.

With the Queen's permission, he moved out of Suiyuxuan on the grounds that it was inconvenient for anyone to disturb Concubine Wan during her pregnancy.

Now he is about to move to Chuxiu Palace.

When Concubine Qi was moving out, she happened to meet Shen Meizhuang who was standing outside the palace gate waiting anxiously.

Although I can't get in, I can wait for the imperial physician to come out and ask a few questions. It would be good to know the news about Zhen Huan.

Seeing her here, Concubine Qi sneered and stepped forward to salute.

"The palace is windy, Madam Hui, please be careful when standing here, and don't get sick. If you get sick like Madam Wan, it will be bad."

Although the words are expressed with concern, they are full of irony.

Shen Meizhuang was not unaware of what happened in the previous dynasty, that is, Uncle Zhen was exposed by Emin of the Guwalgiya clan.

Now she looked at Concubine Qi as if she were looking at a street rat.

"Lady Qi should be careful too. She has done so many bad things and should be on guard against evil spirits coming to her door!"

Shen Meizhuang looked straight ahead and didn't even glance at her when she said this.

"You... Concubine Wan is already hated by the Emperor, and Zhen Yuandao has offended the Emperor. If anyone is to be cautious, it should be Concubine Wan who should be cautious, right?"

Concubine Qi sneered in response, saying that Shen Meizhuang was not favored by the Emperor, and now her father had made another contribution.

She is already a favorite of the Emperor, and has the Empress behind her.

The arrogance is exposed.

"Mrs. Qi, you are so arrogant. You insulted the concubines in public and talked nonsense about the affairs of the previous dynasty. As a concubine, you did most of the things that concubines should not do. Do you know your crime?"

These were not what Shen Meizhuang said.

Concubine Qi looked in the direction of the voice and saw Nian Shilan, dressed in luxurious clothes, sitting upright in a sedan chair with a very imposing manner.

Even though she was bedridden for several months, her spirit was not affected at all.

When we meet again, the deterrent effect is still enough to make me weak in the knees.

The maid behind Concubine Qi had already knelt down and was hurriedly pulling at her master's clothes, indicating a salute.

Shen Meizhuang has always been very polite and cannot cause trouble at this moment.

"Hello, Madam Hua."

After Shen Meizhuang finished her greeting, Concubine Qi quickly bowed, "Greetings to Concubine Hua."

"The palace has always been well-organized, but it seems that Concubine Qi doesn't know the palace etiquette in detail." Nian Shilan spoke deliberately, with a rising tone at the end of her voice, looking at the person in front of her meaningfully.

Concubine Qi quickly said, "How could that be? I have always followed the etiquette of the palace."

"Then why didn't I see Concubine Qi bow to Concubine Hui just now? It seems that Concubine Qi needs to improve her memory in addition to etiquette."

Her voice was cold and she deliberately slowed down her tone, which made it sound a little scary.

Concubine Qi wanted to find an excuse to say something.

But Nian Shilan didn't give her the chance and said directly, "It doesn't matter. Since I am the imperial concubine, I naturally have the responsibility to clean up the six palaces for the emperor and empress, Songzhi."

"I'm here." Songzhi stepped forward.

"Arrange a teaching nanny to go to Concubine Qi's palace." She said, looking at Concubine Qi and smiled, "When Concubine Qi has learned all the etiquette, it won't be too late to come out. During this time, you should follow the teaching nanny in the palace and study hard."

"Your Highness, this concubine..." Of course Concubine Qi refused.

As a concubine, she was actually treated like a newly-appointed lady and needed a nanny to teach her.

Nian Shilan was slapping her in the face, and was using this as an excuse to prevent her from leaving the palace and to confine her!

But Nian Shilan didn't give her any chance and pretended to be gentle and considerate.

"It's the first time that a concubine in the palace has to teach a maid. Lady Qi, please don't thank me for making this exception for you."

After saying this, the smile in Nian Shilan's eyes disappeared and she said coldly.

"Someone, send Lady Qi back to the palace."

Zhou Ninghai stepped forward and gestured to invite him in. "Please come in, noble lady Qi."

Shen Meizhuang behind him couldn't help but speak up, "Noble Concubine Hua is so kind, Noble Lady Qi should be grateful, and should study hard to repay the Noble Concubine's kindness."

The status quo has been established. Even though Nian Shilan no longer has the Nian family behind her, she is still a noble concubine.

Concubine Qi had no chance to retort.

One is a royal concubine and the other is a concubine. The two of them just want to use their status to bully her. What can she do?

I can only swallow my anger and be grateful.

"Thank you, my concubine!"

After saying that, she turned away with a look of indignation on her face.
