Chapter 16: The Conspiracy Fermented

The conspiracy further fermented. After Mei Fei got the support of the imperial physician, she began to step up her plan. She deliberately acted like an innocent victim and kept telling the emperor and the empress dowager about her grievances. At the same time, she also took the opportunity to spread rumors, implying that the queen and Lian Di were the masterminds behind the incident.

The imperial physician supported Mei Fei and reinforced her story. He described Mei Fei's "poisoning" as serious and real, and even pointed the finger at the Empress and Lian Di.

Rumors spread in the palace, and everyone was talking about it. Some imperial concubines also expressed their concern and supported Mei Fei, saying that they would seek justice for her. They began to contact each other secretly, trying to unite and fight against the Queen and Lian Di.

At this critical moment, Lian Di and the Queen felt tremendous pressure. They knew that Mei Fei's conspiracy had begun to ferment, and if they were not on guard, they would be in a passive situation. Therefore, they began to plot countermeasures, trying to save the situation and break Mei Fei's plan.

However, Mei Fei did not give up easily. She continued to plot, trying to capture the Queen and Lian Di in one fell swoop. She secretly collected intelligence, looking for their weaknesses, ready to give a fatal blow at the right time. The entire palace fell into tension and chaos, undercurrents surging, and a bigger storm could break out at any time.

After Mei Fei woke up, she fiercely criticized the Queen and Lian Di for their poor management of medicines, implying that they were behind the poisoning. She claimed that she had not touched any suspicious items, but was suddenly poisoned while being supported by the Queen and Lian Di's maids. Mei Fei's words caused a stir within the palace, and people began to suspect whether the Queen and Lian Di were really related to the poisoning.

The Queen and Lian Di were shocked and angry when they heard the news. They knew that this was a conspiracy of Concubine Mei, but under Concubine Mei's careful arrangement, the situation became very tricky. Concubine Mei took advantage of her injuries and the suspicion within the palace to try to shift her crimes to the Queen and Lian Di, thereby achieving the goal of getting rid of the two protagonists.

The Queen and Lian Di knew all about Mei Fei's schemes, but they could not get rid of them easily. They were faced with severe challenges and had to find ways to defuse Mei Fei's plots, otherwise they would face greater danger.

Mei Fei slowly woke up, her eyes were cold and sharp, as if they contained endless conspiracy. She looked around and found that the Queen and Lian Di were standing in front of the bed, looking worried. Mei Fei deliberately struggled for a while, and then said hoarsely: "This is all your conspiracy! You poisoned me and wanted to get rid of me!"

When the Queen and Lian Di heard Mei Fei's accusation, their faces became solemn. Lian Di could not help but refute: "Empress Mei Fei, this is absolutely not true! We have no motive to harm you, you have to believe us!" Her voice was full of sincerity and determination.

However, Concubine Mei laughed sarcastically: "Do you think I don't know? You have always been coveting my position and want to take it away from me!" Her words were full of incitement, trying to incite distrust and hostility within the court.

The queen took a deep breath and said calmly: "Empress Mei, we don't need to explain to you or accept investigation. Your accusations are groundless, and we will prove our innocence." Her voice was firm and calm, revealing great confidence.

Concubine Mei was unmoved. She sneered and said, "You are so good at disguise, do you think you can deceive me? The emperor will believe me, just wait and see!" Her words were full of provocation and threats, trying to further incite confrontation.

In the tense atmosphere within the palace, the Queen and Lian Di face unprecedented challenges. Mei Fei's conspiracy becomes more and more obvious, and they must respond carefully to resolve this crisis, otherwise the palace will fall into deeper chaos.

The emperor had mixed feelings when he saw Concubine Mei wake up. He walked to the bed, held Concubine Mei's hand, and said in a sad voice: "Concubine Mei, how could you be poisoned? This incident is so unfortunate." His eyes were full of worry and heartache, as if he was reflecting on the unrest in the palace.

Mei Fei looked at the emperor, with a trace of gratitude and relief in her eyes. She endured the pain in her heart and her voice trembled slightly: "Your Majesty, it was Lian Di and the Queen who framed me! They wanted to take away my position!" Her voice was full of grievance and unwillingness, trying to gain the emperor's sympathy and support.

The emperor was silent for a moment. He took a deep breath and his face was solemn: "Concubine Mei, I will investigate this matter thoroughly and will not tolerate it. But please don't trust speculation too much. After all, the Queen and Lian Di are people I trust deeply." His words revealed his trust in the Queen and Lian Di, but also implied a warning to Concubine Mei.

There was a flash of dissatisfaction and disappointment in Mei Fei's eyes, but she knew that she could not offend the emperor, so she had to act calmly: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will wait for your fair judgment." There was a hint of grievance and helplessness in her voice, as if she was forced into a desperate situation.

In the heart of the emperor, doubts and trust are intertwined. He is well aware of the complexity and crisis within the palace. Facing Mei Fei's accusations, he must handle them carefully and give priority to stabilizing the situation in the palace.

Lian Di faced the Emperor and Concubine Mei calmly, her voice revealing a hint of rationality and firmness: "Your Majesty, I can understand Concubine Mei's concerns, but I must firmly deny these accusations. I have no motive to harm Concubine Mei, and I will not conspire with the Queen against her." There was a hint of confidence in her words, trying to clear her name.

Lian Di paused and continued, "Your Majesty, please think about it, why would I hurt Concubine Mei? She is no threat to me. On the contrary, I have always respected and loved her. This poisoning incident is too strange. I believe you will handle it carefully and will not wrongly accuse the innocent." There was a hint of wisdom and determination in her voice. She tried to use modern people's wisdom to analyze the irrationality of the incident and clear her reputation.

The emperor was silent for a moment. He took a deep breath and said solemnly: "Lian Di, I will keep your words in mind. I will investigate this matter thoroughly and will not tolerate it. But please remain calm and rational and do not let the conflicts within the palace escalate further." His words revealed a warning and expectation for Lian Di, hoping that she could respond calmly and not be disturbed by the outside world.
