When I opened my eyes, Zhen Huan knelt in front of me and had a miscarriage

Seeing Zhen Huan so sad, Jing Xi comforted her.

"I heard from Doctor Wen that the Emperor has ordered people to treat the Empress' family well and will not let them suffer too much. This shows that the Emperor still cares about the Empress."

However, Zhen Huan shook her head and a sarcastic smile appeared on her face when she heard this.

"Being exiled to Ningguta is an injustice. No matter how well the emperor treats me, it must be hard. If the emperor really cares about our relationship, why did he confine me to this Shattered Jade Pavilion? Why didn't he even say a word of comfort or inquiry?"

"The Emperor has long lost his affection for me. Even if he does, it is probably just out of affection for Queen Chun Yuan, and he has only given me a little."

Jinxi lowered her head and dared not say anything more.

How can a person with a dead heart feel love again?

What's more, the queen was hurt so deeply.

……

Shoukang Palace.

"I beg the Queen Mother to protect Concubine Wan. Concubine Wan is pregnant now and cannot be abandoned in Suiyuxuan without care. Please allow me to go to Suiyuxuan with you to accompany Concubine Wan!"

Shen Meizhuang knelt before the Queen Mother's bed, speaking earnestly, her heart filled with worry.

Seeing her attitude, the Queen Mother was helpless.

But she loved the child from the bottom of her heart and advised, "This time, Concubine Wan has violated the emperor's taboo. It's her fault. What has it got to do with you? Now Suiyuxuan is like a cold palace. If you go in, you may not be able to come out."

The words are rude but not rude.

But Shen Meizhuang didn't want to come out at all. She had long given up on the emperor, so why would she still want to accompany him?

Now she is only worried about her good sister Zhen Huan.

"If that's not possible, then I am willing to stay with Concubine Wan in Suiyuxuan for the rest of my life. I really can't just watch her suffer during her pregnancy without being able to help her at all."

The Queen Mother shook her head. "It's not a matter of whether you are willing or not, but whether Concubine Wan is willing to see you suffer for her. Now that Concubine Wan has fallen out of favor, if you really want to do good for her, you should strengthen yourself."

Shen Meizhuang was stunned and bit her lips tightly.

It's not that she hadn't thought about it, but she had already seen through the emperor and really didn't want to get close to him, let alone be intimate with him against her will.

"It's not that I haven't seen the Emperor before, but he doesn't want to see me. I went there several times, but he always found excuses to avoid me. I really have no other choice, so I came to ask the Queen Mother for help."

After Shen Meizhuang finished speaking, she looked at the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother was helpless in front of the child. "I have done everything I can promise you. Wen Shichu has gone to serve at Sui Yuxuan. As for the rest, I can't do anything about it. In this harem, favor is the most important thing."

"Empress Dowager..." Shen Meizhuang was not willing to give in and wanted to beg again.

But he was interrupted by the Queen Mother.

"Okay, I'm tired, you can go back first. You don't need to come to Shoukang Palace to pay respects these days."

"Empress Dowager..." Shen Meizhuang had no choice but to retreat.

After leaving Shoukang Palace, she really didn't know who to ask for help.

Now the Emperor doesn't want to see her, and the Queen Mother is unwilling to help her.

Zhen Huan also asked Wen Shichu to convey a message from the Sui Yuxuan that the Queen was unreliable and could not be trusted.

Who else...

Concubine Hua?

When this name suddenly popped up, even she herself was quite surprised. She didn't expect that she would have to ask her former enemy for help.

But even if it was the last resort, she would still give it a try.

Yikun Palace.

Shen Meizhuang never thought that one day she would step into here to ask for help from Nian Shilan.

When she went there, Concubine Duan had just passed away.

When she went in, she saw the teacup on the table and knew that someone must have been there.

But she had never met Concubine Duan, so she didn't know.

"Concubine, please give your regards to the noble concubine."

Nian Shilan hummed and said softly, "Get up. Songzhi, please give me a seat."

Shen Meizhuang was standing there. She was wearing plain white today. The flowers embroidered on her clothes were her favorite chrysanthemums. Chrysanthemums were noble and pure, especially in line with her temperament.

The neat person who is worthy of this flower, standing there, looks like "I am still beautiful even when no flowers are blooming".

"I have come here today without any hesitation, and I would like to ask the Imperial Concubine to give me some pointers on the way forward."

Nian Shilan looked at her and said, "You begged the Emperor and the Queen Mother for the matter of Concubine Wan, but they were helpless. I am just an unpopular concubine, how can I help you?"

Nian Shilan deliberately kept people in suspense, and even spoke self-deprecating words like "just an unfavored imperial concubine" shamelessly.

Everyone knows that after Concubine Wan fell out of favor, the Emperor has only come to Yikun Palace.

Shen Meizhuang shook her head. "The Imperial Concubine is very clear-headed and resourceful. This concubine is far from her. Moreover, when Concubine Wan was in trouble, only the Imperial Concubine and I went to check on her. I believe that the Imperial Concubine must be kind-hearted and couldn't bear to see Concubine Wan like this."

Although it may sound a bit against my will to say these words, they are indeed true.

"Now, in the whole palace, only Your Majesty can speak a few words in front of the Emperor. Please have mercy on Concubine Wan, for the sake of Concubine Wan's poor and innocent child."

Shen Meizhuang has a tough character and is upright.

It's true that I'm not very good at asking for help.

Indeed, she has experienced too little now, and she is even less aware of the dangers of the Queen and the harem.

She didn't know that she was falling into Nian Shilan's trap little by little.

Today she came to ask Nian Shilan for help, and she fell into the trap.

After all, the Shen family is not a small family.

The fact that the Han people could achieve such a level as Jeju Assistant Commander should not be underestimated.

If we can recapture Shen Meizhuang, everything will be easy.

However, Nian Shilan did not agree to Shen Meizhuang's request immediately, and did not take her compliments seriously.

Instead, she analyzed her own faults, "Now that Concubine Wan has fallen out of favor, the Empress has lost the Emperor's favor, and I am the one who has suffered the most. Moreover, after Concubine Wan fell out of favor, the first person the Emperor came to in the harem was me. Don't you think that I am the one who is reaping the benefits?"

She wanted to test whether Shen Meizhuang doubted her.

Shen Meizhuang shook her head firmly without even thinking, "I didn't dare to say it before, but now, I feel that Your Majesty is not that kind of person. If Your Majesty wanted the Emperor's favor, you wouldn't have kept claiming illness to avoid His Majesty's favor."

"Oh?"

She was a little surprised. How did Shen Meizhuang know that she was feigning illness to avoid favor?

Could it be that the imperial physician or the palace maid leaked the news?

In fact, none of them.

But it was because Shen Meizhuang could see that Concubine Hua seemed to be the same type of person as her.

None of them wanted to get close to the emperor; they all saw through this man's true face.

But she wasn't sure, it was just her feeling.

"Looking at the Empress, she is full of energy and has a charming temperament. I believe she has recovered her health a long time ago. How could she be weak as the Imperial Hospital said?"

Shen Meizhuang said softly.

Nian Shilan chuckled, "You are a good talker. You should know about the matter of Concubine Wan. I am willing to help, but for no other reason than that we have a common enemy—"

"Queen."
