The Queen used some tricks on Concubine Li, making her follow Concubine Hua's instructions and instigate Yu Ying'er to poison Zhen Huan.

After understanding the situation clearly, the Queen knew that the matter was of great importance and she could not make a decision on her own, so she reported the matter to the Queen Mother.

After the Empress Dowager learned about this, she knew that Concubine Hua's position at this time was unshakable. Once something bad happened to Concubine Hua, the Emperor would not have peace. In order to preserve the face of the royal family, the Empress Dowager ordered the Queen to banish Concubine Li to the cold palace.

Because at this time, Concubine Li was really crazy.

As for Concubine Hua, the Queen Mother issued an imperial decree, revoking Concubine Hua's right to assist in managing the six palaces.

Although Concubine Hua was only removed from her position of assistant manager of the six palaces this time, the Queen was still somewhat happy.

As the champion of the previous palace fight, the Queen Mother knew very well that the whole process was not a coincidence. It was the clever setup of Zhen Huan, Shen Meizhuang and others that finally brought the murderer behind Yu's poisoning to light.

The Empress Dowager couldn't help but sigh in her heart that Concubine Wan and Concubine Shen really had the same demeanor as she did in her past.

So the Queen Mother said to the Queen: "Why don't you let go of some things and let Concubine Wan and Concubine Shen try them out. After some experience, they can share the burden with you as a concubine in the future."

The queen smiled and nodded, but she was thinking secretly in her heart. She understood that the queen mother wanted her to train some new people to strengthen the strength of the harem.

However, the Queen became even more wary of Concubine Wan and Concubine Shen.

The Queen knew very well that Concubine Wan and Concubine Shen were both extremely talented and charming women. If she gave them more opportunities, it might threaten her position in the harem.

But the Queen Mother had to obey her, so the Queen decided to obey her on the surface but actually be more cautious against these two people.

.........................................................

Today is the second day that Master Jingyuan has been holding a ritual in the palace. After the commotion last night, everyone is terrified.

The maids and eunuchs in the palace were whispering a rumor that Concubine Hua was able to avoid being attacked by Yu's ghost because the Emperor immediately sent a magician to the Yikun Palace to perform a ritual to exorcise the evil spirit.

As for Concubine Li, it was because her Taiji Hall did not have a magician sent in time to remove the evil spirits, so she was haunted by evil spirits, which caused Yu's soul to come and claim her life, causing Concubine Li to become insane. Now she is talking nonsense and has lost her mind. She really deserves it. She is so pitiful and hateful.

Yanxi Palace

When the concubines heard that there was a ghost in the Yanx Palace, they rushed to the Yanx Palace to visit Noble Fucha and An Lingrong after Master Jingyuan came early in the morning on the orders of the Queen and performed a ritual to exorcise the evil spirits.

Zhen Huan and Shen Meiyu went to An Lingrong's bedroom first. An Lingrong knew that her two sisters were coming, so in order to conceal her illness, she made it known to everyone. Because of An Lingrong's status and position, other concubines only went to visit Noble Lady Fucha and did not go to An Lingrong's bedroom to visit her.

An Lingrong didn't care at the moment. She just felt that as long as Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang were truly kind to her, she was satisfied.

Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang whispered to An Lingrong that she just needed to pretend to be sick and lie down for a few days, and not to worry about what happened next.

Then the two of them came to Noble Lady Fucha's room, where the other concubines were.

Concubine Qi frowned and said, "I knew this ghost was really powerful. Noblewoman Fucha is a little out of her mind. What should we do?"

Jingpin also said with a look of regret: "Yes, this is a good noble lady Fucha. I was just a little scared when I saw her last night. I didn't expect it to be so serious today."

At this moment, Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang walked in. Seeing Noble Lady Fucha sitting on the bed, she murmured in panic, "Don't catch me... Don't catch me..."

Everyone felt sorry that such a beautiful noble lady Fucha had passed away in this way.

Zhen Huan pretended to be worried and asked, "What does the imperial physician say? Can it be cured?"

Xin Changzai shook her head gently and continued, "Ah... the imperial physician said that she has lost all her strength. We can only blame her bad luck and short life."

Shen Meizhuang also pretended to be sorry and said, "Ah... poor thing."

Then Jingpin turned around and asked Shen Meizhuang and Zhen Huan, "How is An's promise?"

Zhen Huan replied distressedly, "An Ying is also badly injured. She looks pale and haggard. She must have been frightened. The imperial physician said she needs to recuperate for a few more days."

After hearing what Zhen Huan said, Concubine Qi smiled and said, "It is better for An to live longer than Noble Lady Fucha, which is also a good thing."

Everyone was disgusted with what Concubine Qi said, and if you can't speak well, just say less.

Broken Yuxuan

"The Emperor has arrived!" An eunuch's voice was heard from far outside the door of Shuiyuxuan.

Zhen Huan was sitting on the couch reading a book in her ordinary nightgown. When she heard the emperor coming, she quickly stood up and saluted the emperor.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. May your Majesty be blessed with good health!" Zhen Huan bowed and said, her voice as gentle as water.

"Hanhuan, get up quickly. Didn't I tell you before that you are pregnant now and in poor health, so you don't have to be polite. You don't need to be restrained in front of me." The emperor raised her hand with concern.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your tolerance towards me. Your Majesty, you finally have time to visit me." Zhen Huan said this deliberately with a smile.

Huanbi, who was standing by, came forward to make tea for the emperor. Her movements were graceful and skillful.

The emperor watched Huanbi's actions, with a hint of appreciation in his eyes. He took the tea from Huanbi, took a sip, then put down the cup, took Zhen Huan's hand, and asked with concern: "Huan Huan, do you miss me?"

Zhen Huan smiled slightly, with a sly look in her eyes. She said softly, "Your Majesty is busy with state affairs. You must be very tired. I miss you, but I wonder if you miss me too?"

The emperor laughed loudly after hearing what Zhen Huan said. He shook Zhen Huan's hand vigorously and said, "Of course I miss you, otherwise I wouldn't have come to see you on purpose."

After hearing what the emperor said, Zhen Huan felt a little disgusted that the emperor was holding her hand, but she still had to greet the emperor with a smile.

"I'm fine, thank you for your concern, Your Majesty." Zhen Huan replied softly.

The emperor nodded, then said solemnly with a serious face, "I just went to see the Queen Mother, and the poisoning matter has been resolved. If you can rest assured, I can also feel relieved."

Zhen Huan felt that the emperor looked unhappy, so she said, "Since the matter has passed, Your Majesty should not be angry. Lipin is only holding a grudge against me because she cares about you."

The emperor asked back in a dignified manner, "Does she care about me? Does she care about her own glory or me? Only she knows clearly in her heart. Even if she cares about me, I will never let her off lightly because of this sinister thing she did."

Zhen Huan wanted to test how much the emperor indulged Concubine Hua, so she said, "Empress Li made a mistake and has learned her lesson. Although Empress Hua has frequent contact with Empress Li, I don't think Empress Hua would be so foolish as to go along with Concubine Li."

At this moment, the emperor heard Zhen Huan mention Concubine Hua, and he originally cast his eyes on Concubine Hua and said "hmm". The emperor began to feel a little unhappy, as he did not want Zhen Huan to become like other concubines, scheming and jealous.

Zhen Huan continued, "Hua Fei has received the grace of heaven, and she is also resolute in character."

When the emperor heard the word "resolute and resolute", he knew what Zhen Huan was thinking, but he pretended to be ignorant at the moment.

"Resolute and resolute? What do you think resolute and resolute means?" the emperor asked seriously, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.

Zhen Huan glanced at the emperor and understood his inner displeasure, so she said:

"Those who act with courage and are able to manage affairs and employ people are called resolute and resolute. Empress Hua is in charge of the six palaces, so I think she deserves these two words."

At this moment, the emperor felt a little relieved after hearing Zhen Huan's explanation.

"Well, everything has two sides. The Queen Mother has always been sensible in her actions. She never interferes in the affairs of the harem, but when she does, it is usually because of something serious that she cannot tolerate."

"This severe punishment is to warn the harem not to allow such a chaotic environment to continue." The emperor deliberately said this to Zhen Huan.

He had already guessed in his heart that it must have been a trap set by Zhen Huan and others, but now that things had come to this, he just wanted to warn Zhen Huan not to do it again next time.
