The mistress died of overwork, and after rebirth, she was bad at raising her cubs

When Huo Zhanting found out that Shen Qinglan had made a bet with Princess Zhaoyang in the palace, and that the bet was about him, he was so angry that he gritted his teeth.

When the old princess and Huo Qiyu heard the news and saw Huo Zhanting looking resentful of his husband, they couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Ting'er, don't be angry. Didn't Qinglan lose? You are still her husband, it won't be a problem."

"Yes, yes! My eldest sister-in-law must be absolutely sure that she would do so. How could she be willing to give you up, my eldest brother?"

Huo Zhanting looked at the two people who were gloating and snorted.

If they hadn't almost laughed out loud, he would have believed it.

But it doesn’t matter!

After the wedding in three days, he will ask his wife for compensation.

Moreover, by then, Huo Zhanting also wanted to give Shen Qinglan a big surprise.

Thinking of this, Huo Zhanting couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

The night is deep.

Just as Shen Qinglan lay down, she heard a knock on the door.

"what happened?"

Shen Qinglan stood up and opened the door, and saw Yun Lanxin waiting at the door. Seeing Shen Qinglan coming, she bowed and said respectfully:

"Princess Jiashun, Concubine Yan suddenly fell ill. The Imperial Astronomical Observatory said that she was struck by an evil spirit. The people who struck Concubine Yan were probably nobles whose zodiac signs were rat, snake, sheep, or monkey."

"Now that His Majesty is angry, let these nobles of the same zodiac sign go together to capture this evil spirit."

Shen Qinglan frowned slightly when he heard this, and raised his eyebrows and said, "I want to go too?"

"The Queen will go too."

What he meant was that even the Queen Mother had to go, and you were just a princess, so naturally you couldn't disobey.

Shen Qinglan nodded helplessly, then called Shuyu to do her makeup, changed her clothes simply, and left with Yun Lanxin.

Soon, Shen Qinglan met the queen who was waiting in front of Kunning Palace. When the queen saw Shen Qinglan coming, she said gently:

"You encountered this incident on your first day in the palace. Don't worry, we will find the evil spirit and get rid of it when the Imperial Observatory finds it."

Shen Qinglan bowed and thanked him with a smile.

The two of them got on the sedan chair and went to the Yanxi Palace where Concubine Yan was.

As soon as she entered the Yanx Palace, Shen Qinglan saw that many concubines had already arrived in the palace.

Most of them were summoned by Emperor Jingren, which shows how important Concubine Yan was in Emperor Jingren's heart.

At this moment, most of the concubines did not look very good.

It’s obvious, how can it possibly get better?

After all, no matter how favored Concubine Yan is, isn't she just a concubine like them?

Now, I'm just sick, why do I have to invite them all over?

What evil spirits are you talking about?

If there really is some evil spirit in this entire palace, it would probably be Concubine Yan herself!

After all, the one who could bewitched Emperor Jingren might be the reincarnation of that vixen!

However, when the concubines saw the queen coming, the resentful expressions on their faces suddenly disappeared.

This is the Queen. Even the Queen has to be summoned by the Emperor. It seems that the concubines have nothing to complain about.

"I send my regards to the Queen."

When the concubines saw the queen coming, they hurriedly bowed to her.

The queen raised her hand and said gently, "Everyone, get up. How is Concubine Yan?"

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine is inside. His Majesty is personally looking after her. He just asked me to wait here..."

A concubine stepped forward and said pitifully.

Concubine Yan was lying inside, but the concubines had to feed the mosquitoes outside. It was really miserable.

"I'll go take a look, don't worry." The Queen comforted everyone and then looked at Shen Qinglan and said:

"Jiashun, please come with me."

Shen Qinglan wanted to refuse, but the queen obviously did not give her the chance to refuse. After saying this, she walked into the hall in front.

Shen Qinglan could only raise his feet and follow, but there was a hint of understanding in his eyes.

Queen, you want to keep her by your side all the time to keep an eye on her.

I'm afraid Yun Lanxin has already told the Queen that she most likely came for the Mother Gu.

Thinking of this, Shen Qinglan's mouth corners slightly raised.

Since the queen didn't want her to leave her sight, she would follow her.

After entering the house, Shen Qinglan only smelled the scent of sandalwood.

Emperor Jingren was standing by the bed at this time, looking at Concubine Yan who was lying unconscious on the bed with a worried look on his face. Seeing the Queen coming, Emperor Jingren looked at the Queen and nodded slightly:

"The Queen is here."

"Your Majesty, what happened to Concubine Yan?"

The Queen came forward, glanced at Concubine Yan with a worried look, then looked at the Emperor's worried face and asked in a gentle voice.

Emperor Jingren sighed and did not answer, but Li Fude beside him began to explain:

"Reporting to the Queen, the Imperial Concubine felt unwell after dinner. The Imperial Physician was called in to see her, but he could not find any problem. Instead, she vomited blood and fainted."

"Your Majesty was worried about the Imperial Concubine, so he called the sick Court Judge Gu to come. But Court Judge Gu said that the Imperial Concubine was in good health and had no symptoms. So Your Majesty invited the officials from the Imperial Observatory to come."

Li Fude paused here, glanced at Emperor Jingren, and seeing that Emperor Jingren did not look unhappy, he continued:

"When the master from the Imperial Observatory arrived, he said that an evil spirit had entered the palace, so the Empress and all the ladies were invited to come together to eliminate the evil spirit."

When the queen heard this, her face turned a little ugly.

Just for a noble concubine Yan and some unfounded accusations, all the concubines were summoned. This was really a bit ridiculous.

However, the strange look on the queen's face only flashed for a moment, and she soon returned to her usual virtuous self.

After all, Emperor Jingren has always treated Concubine Yan like this. As long as Concubine Yan is involved, it is normal for Emperor Jingren to do anything absurd.

The Queen secretly took a breath, then glanced at the Master of the Imperial Observatory standing beside her. A hint of coldness flashed in her eyes, but she kept smiling and said calmly:

"I see. I wonder how the Lord of the Imperial Observatory plans to investigate? With so many concubines and nobles here, is the Lord of the Imperial Observatory going to investigate them one by one?"

Upon hearing this, the Imperial Observatory's forehead broke out in sweat, and he immediately knelt on the ground and said:

“Please forgive me, Queen. My abilities are limited. I can only find out that the evil spirits are hiding in the nobles of these zodiac signs. But, if you check them one by one, I will definitely find them…”

The Queen sneered, and then said to Emperor Jingren:

"Your Majesty, I know that Your Majesty cares about Concubine Yan, but I think this matter is still not well thought out."

"There are many concubines in the zodiac signs mentioned by the Imperial Observatory, and even Jiashun is involved. If the people of the Imperial Observatory were to check them one by one, it would not only offend the concubines in the harem and Princess Jiashun, but also lose the dignity of the royal family. It would not be worth it!"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Jingren couldn't help but frowned a little, and then looked at Shen Qinglan who had followed the Queen. Apparently, he realized that Shen Qinglan was also there.

However, if what happened to Concubine Yan today was just a means for the concubines in the harem to compete for favor, then it would be just a matter of the harem, and even if it was investigated, the news would not be spread.

But now, Shen Qinglan has a special identity. Although she is a princess personally conferred by Emperor Jingren, she cannot gain the trust of Emperor Jingren.

Besides, Shen Qinglan was the Princess of Zhan first, and then the Princess of Jiashun. If Shen Qinglan knew about this, it would be equivalent to the Zhan Palace knowing about it.

It is always inconvenient to involve the affairs of the harem with the previous dynasty...
