"Sister, when Zhao Shui came to Xianfu Palace before, I saw a eunuch climbing over the wall and leaving in the direction of the Imperial Garden."

"Then why yesterday..."

"Sister, not to mention that when Zhaoshui came back, everyone had already returned to the palace. Even if he was still in the Qianqing Palace, how could Zhaoshui, who had secretly run away, dare to speak out?" Lingrong sighed, she held Jingpin's hand and spoke earnestly, "It's just that this matter may be related to sister, Lingrong came here specially to tell you."

"I know that you really care about me by asking Zhaoshui to remind me to investigate Yuxuan." Jingpin held Lingrong's hand and patted it gently. "The musk in Caiyue's bag was probably put there by that eunuch, but everyone was gathered in the Qianqing Palace at that time. Who ordered him to come to Xianfu Palace to do this?"

"Then it can only be during the night banquet. Concubine Wan has already had a miscarriage, and the person behind the scenes immediately ordered people to start making arrangements. Ling Rong doesn't think that Concubine Shen, who has just entered the palace, can make such a meticulous arrangement."

"Yes, I think the emperor also suspected this matter, so the punishment for Concubine Shen was not severe."

"Noble Lady Shen and Noble Lady Wan are close friends, they would never do such a thing." Ling Rong suddenly seemed to remember something, she leaned close to Concubine Jing's ear and lowered her voice, "Sister told me to be careful of Baojuan, but what did she find out?"

Jingpin nodded, "Hanzhu saw Baojuan and Shen Guiren's fragrant leaves come into contact, and the two of them talked about some things about Shen Guiren and Wan Guiren, which were probably the very exaggerated rumors that Huanbi said."

It was indeed the case. Ling Rong secretly sighed. She thought Jingpin had discovered the fact that the maid had betrayed her master, but she didn't expect that it was something she knew about and even something she ordered.

"This girl loves to talk about these nonsense things," Ling Rong said helplessly, "My sister has scolded her many times, but she just can't change."

"You are too kind." Jingpin shook her head, "But be careful, the maids in this palace are not your own. If you want to trust someone, just trust the maids who have served you since childhood."

Lingrong nodded, and her educated expression made Jingpin feel at ease. The two of them then talked about how to discipline the palace maids and eunuchs. Jingpin was already quite talented in household affairs and had been immersed in the palace for many years, so she could benefit Lingrong a lot with just a few words.

"Sister, you should also think about yourself. You are good at housekeeping. If you can win the emperor's favor, this assistant manager..."

"My lady, something happened at Changxi Hall." Before she could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by Hanzhu who came in hurriedly, "Noble Lady Wan and Noble Lady Shen started arguing."

Ling Rong was very shocked when she heard this. You know, in her previous life, these two people had never really quarreled, let alone a situation like this one that could be heard by the maids in other palaces.

Lingrong and Jingpin looked at each other, and they went to the vicinity of Changxi Hall tacitly, intending to hear what was going on.

"Sister Mei, Huan'er never doubted you. It's just that Caiyue once went to the Imperial Hospital to get musk. Huan'er just wanted to ask Sister Mei if she knew about it. Don't be fooled by this servant."

"I have never asked Caiyue to take musk, and she would never take these things, let alone use them to harm you. You are asking me this now, which means you really doubt me!"

Zhen Huan's face was pale. She stroked her belly, which was no longer filled with a child, and cried very sadly, "Sister Mei, if you really care about Huan'er, please help me. I want to avenge my unborn child."

"I said, I don't know, and Caiyue can't do it."

"But Caiyue did go to the Imperial Hospital some time ago. If she didn't go to get musk, then what did she get? If no one told her to, how could she get such precious musk from the Imperial Physician!"

"Cai Yue went to get the herbs for fertility," Shen Meizhuang's voice was full of fatigue, "How could there be musk in fertility medicine?"

"My lady." Huanbi supported Zhen Huan, who was almost unable to stand. Her voice was full of resentment. "My lady treats Concubine Shen as her sister, but Concubine Shen may not think so. She wants to give birth to a child before my lady. This is not a rumor at all. It is what she really says."

"Don't talk nonsense," Zhen Huan tightly grasped Huanbi's arm, supporting herself to prevent herself from falling, "I know Sister Mei very well, she would never do such a thing, someone must have framed her."

"Huanbi... call Jinxi, go check on that imperial physician..." Before she could finish her words, Zhen Huan, who was standing in the cold wind, rolled her eyes and fainted. Huanbi could hardly hold her up, and could only shout in horror for someone to come.

Shen Meizhuang was also anxious at this time. She shouted loudly to Jingpin through the window, her eyes welling with tears.

It was not possible for Jingpin to stand by and watch, so she asked Hanzhu and a few little maids to bring Concubine Wan into the main hall. She also sent Hanzhu to the Imperial Medical Bureau to ask Wen Shichu, the imperial physician often used by Concubine Wan, to come over.

Ling Rong came closer and saw that Zhen Huan's face was as pale as paper. She had been standing in the cold wind for half an hour before her new moon came, and she had been arguing with Shen Meiyu. How could she not faint?

But Wen Shichu couldn't be called. Lingrong responded in her heart that Doctor Wen might be regretting at home at this time for not being able to help his sister Huan.

As luck would have it, the imperial physician who came was Jiang Cheng. He frowned and felt the pulse, then took out a pill from the medicine box and asked Huanbi to give it to Concubine Wan. In just a cup of tea, Zhen Huan woke up and looked blankly at the people around her.

"Lady Wan, you are still in your early months and need to recuperate in the palace. Musk has already damaged your body. If you catch a cold, it will be difficult for you to have children in the future."

When Jiang Cheng saw that Zhen Huan had woken up, he, with the compassionate attitude of a doctor, told her again about recuperation and wrote a prescription, telling Huanbi to remember to go to the Imperial Hospital to get the medicine.

"Thank you for your hard work, Imperial Doctor Jiang," Zhen Huan sat up and took the hot water bottle handed to her by Huanbi and held it in her palm, "But why didn't the Imperial Doctor Wen come? He usually takes care of my health and knows more about it."

"In reply to Lady Wan, Imperial Doctor Wen was dismissed from his post a few days ago. He should be in the Wen Mansion now."

"Dismissed?" Zhen Huan couldn't help but panic after losing her trusted imperial physician. "Why is there no one...Dr. Wen, what did he do wrong?"

"I don't know much, but the emperor personally issued an order, saying that Doctor Wen's medical skills were not good, and he was expelled from the Imperial Hospital. I believe that if he can improve his medical skills in the future, he can still be admitted again."

"How could this be..." Zhen Huan's hands were shaking. She really didn't want to believe that it was because of her that Brother Shichu was dismissed from his post. No, she had to go and beg the emperor. "Huanbi, go to the imperial court and tell Eunuch Su that I want to see the emperor."

Lingrong and Jingpin looked at each other. Even if Concubine Wan was favored, it was impossible for her to let Wen Shichu return to the Imperial Hospital when he was enthroned. How could a king of a country change his orders every day?

Lady Wan, you are destined to return empty-handed this time.
