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

"Sister Mei, you and I grew up together. Although Lingrong and I know each other, we are not sisters after all."

Zhen Huan wiped her tears and continued, "Ever since the last incident with the scar-removing gel, I have had doubts. This time, Ling Rong's throat disease has been cured for so long, but she didn't tell us. I'm sure you heard the singing that day. It must have been deliberately practiced. How could it be such a coincidence that you heard it when the emperor passed by."

It’s not that Shen Meizhuang didn’t have doubts, but she didn’t want to suspect her sisters with such a dirty mind.

She has always been kindhearted and unwilling to associate with evil, and this character has caused her a lot of suffering.

But after the incident with the Scar Removing Glue, Zhen Huan was reminded again and again by Concubine Duan and Concubine Hua.

She would never look at An Lingrong from the same perspective again.

"I discussed the matter of the emperor restoring Concubine Hua's favor with him in secret in the Yangxin Palace. How could Lingrong know about it? And why would she tell you? Did she want to create a rift between you and me?" Zhen Huan analyzed the matter word by word.

Shen Meizhuang was startled and covered her chest with a handkerchief, worrying, "Is she trying to sow discord between you and me? But why would Lingrong do this?"

"We still don't know why she did this, but now it seems that it is definitely not good for you and me. It's all my fault, Sister Mei. I never took the initiative to tell you my thoughts." Zhen Huan held Sister Mei's hand tightly.

Shen Meizhuang bit her lip and listened quietly.

"Nian Gengyao's achievements are so great that the emperor can no longer tolerate her. Concubine Hua used to be so rampant in the palace that we could catch her mistakes. Therefore, only by restoring Concubine Hua's former power can we make Nian Gengyao relax his guard and let the emperor catch his mistakes. This way, we can succeed in one fell swoop."

Zhen Huan spoke in detail and very quietly.

After Shen Meizhuang heard it clearly, she relaxed for a long time.

She has always been a lady from the boudoir, but she is not completely ignorant of the affairs in the court.

Rather, she was very clear about how difficult and dangerous it was to accomplish this.

After she came to her senses, Shen Meizhuang tightly grasped Zhen Huan's hand and bit her lip, "Huan'er, I was wrong. I shouldn't have doubted you. I almost ruined your plan and almost made us alienated."

"Sister Mei, there is no need for us to say these words. You know me, and that's enough. There is one more thing..." Zhen Huan thought of something and said.

"You said."

"Since Lingrong has done this, why don't we use a trick to lure her into a trap and see what Lingrong is really trying to do, so that we can know who is really trying to alienate us."

"Okay, don't worry."

……

The day was hot and the cicadas and birds in the trees began to chirp again.

Since Nian Shilan paid her respects to the Queen, she has never been late again, nor has anyone caught her making any mistakes.

That day, she went to the palace to pay her respects as usual.

On the way to Jingren Palace in a sedan chair, I saw Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang walking one after the other.

Even Songzhi was puzzled. She fanned herself in front of her mouth and whispered to her, "Princess Wan and Concubine Hui have always been the best of friends. They haven't been together for several days. It seems that they are having a quarrel."

Nian Shilan just glanced at them again and ignored them.

"Why should I care about who is close to whom and who is not? The bowl of eight-treasure fruit soup for breakfast today is very much to my taste. Ask the kitchen to prepare more."

"Yes, I think it's good too. It looks very appetizing." Songzhi smiled and sensibly stopped talking about it, continuing with what Nian Shilan said.

Nian Shilan glanced at her and said, "Then let the kitchen make more tomorrow and you can try it too."

"Thank you, ma'am."

Nian Shilan was very nice to his servants. Except for the fact that he sometimes had trouble understanding the empress's personality, he would never treat his servants unfairly in terms of rewards, food, clothing and other expenses.

Therefore, many servants tried their best to get a job in the Yiku Palace.

Jingren Palace.

The concubines in each palace knelt down and paid homage to the queen.

The Queen asked everyone to sit down, and then asked if Qin Changzai's foot injury had improved.

"Thank you for your concern, Her Majesty. I'm much better now. It's just an old injury, but it's not serious." Qin Changzai was still very polite.

Nian Shilan glanced at her coldly and said deliberately, "Well, don't ask the Imperial Hospital to care for you and send you medicine all day long. It's just kneeling for an afternoon. How can it hurt you? The emperor still thinks that I did something to you."

When the other concubines saw that Concubine Hua was angry, they felt even more sympathetic towards Concubine Qin.

Qin Changzai was injured, and the emperor hasn't visited Hua Fei for several days.

It seems that Qin Changzai is more favored now.

Qin Changzai could only whisper, "Yes, I understand."

The Queen said sternly, "If you are sick, you should be treated. There is no reason for you to serve His Majesty while you are sick."

"Thank you, Queen."

After the Queen finished speaking, she looked at Concubine Wan and Concubine Hui and sighed, "It's been a long time since I saw you two come together to pay your respects to me. You two are the best sisters in the harem, and you are the role models for sisters in the palace."

After saying this, Concubine Hui stood up and spoke coldly without any emotion in her tone.

"We are all sisters who grew up together, so naturally there is no one who is better or worse than the other. I am also very close to Concubine Jing."

The queen noticed that something was wrong with her and said, "Of course, I just hope that there won't be any rift between you sisters."

Changing the subject, "By the way, the emperor has decided to go to the Old Summer Palace to escape the summer heat in three days. The concubines who went to the Old Summer Palace last time will go with him this time. You can see what to bring with you."

As soon as these words came out, Nian Shilan continued, "Still asking you to stay in this palace, it's really going to get hot."

"Yes, Wanpin, remember to bring Chang Xiangsi with you this time. The emperor was telling me a few days ago that he likes to listen to your piano."

These words were spoken but not yet implemented.

Shen Meizhuang seemed to feel uncomfortable when she heard the word "Wanpin". She stood up abruptly and replied.

"Your Highness, the Queen Mother is not feeling well. I would like to stay in the palace to serve her medicine as a token of my filial piety. I will not go to the Old Summer Palace to escape the summer heat."

The queen was stunned for a moment, then smiled and nodded, "Okay, Concubine Hui is thoughtful."

An Lingrong looked at Zhen Huan deeply, then shifted her gaze to Shen Meiyu, thinking thoughtfully for a moment.

She didn't know that when she looked away, someone was secretly watching her.

That is——Nian Shilan.

After the meeting, Nian Shilan took the sedan chair directly back to Yiku Palace.

This trip to the Old Summer Palace means that Prince Dun’s matter is getting closer.

In her previous life, Songzhi was favored by the emperor and was made a concubine, but now she has prevented all this from happening.

Who would Zhen Huan deliberately offend in the Old Summer Palace?

Could it be Qin Changzai? But Qin Changzai has never argued with others easily, and would rather swallow things herself.

It's impossible for Zhen Huan to catch any mistakes.

If Zhen Huan had not been punished by the Emperor to go to Penglai Island this time, would the matter of getting rid of Prince Dun have been so smooth?

Nothing is known.
