"You told Concubine Wan everything, and then she left the Yanxi Palace?"

In Jingren Palace, the Queen looked at Chun'er who was kneeling in front of her, but her face was gloomy.

Not long ago, Chun'er brought the old maids to Jingren Palace and asked to see the queen.

The queen originally thought that Chun'er could bring her some surprises, so she received her in the main hall.

However, Chun'er's next words not only did not make the Queen happy at all, but instead made her mood take a sharp turn for the worse.

"Empress, I have already told all those words to Concubine Wan according to your instructions, but she acted as if she didn't care at all. Later, she took her people away without waiting for me to finish speaking."

When talking about her failure with Zhen Huan, Chun'er's tone was also very depressed.

The queen ignored Chun'er and said nothing.

Her reaction was somewhat beyond Chun'er's expectations.

Although I did not accomplish the Queen's "mission of alienation" perfectly, I did hear the news from Noble Lady Fucha after all!

Even just based on this point, Chun'er felt that she had made a contribution to the Queen.

The Queen's current attitude really hurt her.

"Forget it, even if it's just the love between them sisters!"

After a period of silence, the queen murmured to herself.

Chun'er was still kneeling below. When she heard the Queen's words, her expression suddenly became a little ugly.

What does the Queen mean by this?

Sisterly love?

Are you talking about Zhen Huan, Shen Meizhuang, An Lingrong and others?

If that's the case, then what am I caught in the middle of it?

"Your Highness! Since you have already learned from me that Concubine Shen used tricks to get pregnant, why didn't you tell the Emperor about this?"

Chun'er gritted her teeth and acted as if she couldn't understand.

Obviously, she had already informed the Queen, and the Queen did know the connection between Liu Bin and Shen Meizhuang, so why did the Queen still keep this secret for Shen Meizhuang?

Chun'er felt that she couldn't understand, so she raised her own questions.

"Stupid!"

This time, the queen finally turned her attention to Chun'er, but the first thing she opened her mouth was a scolding.

Chun'er was so frightened by this sudden scolding that her whole body trembled.

The Queen continued, "How did she get pregnant with the Dragonborn? Now Shen Meizhuang is really pregnant, the Emperor is happy about it, and the Queen Mother is also very happy. If I expose this matter at this time, can I force her to have a miscarriage?"

At this point, the Queen looked at Chun'er with a look of disappointment.

Chun'er was completely stunned by the Queen's words, and couldn't find anything to say for a while.

Indeed, she had originally only thought of telling the Queen as soon as she heard about this matter.

As for whether this matter is true or false, it is naturally the Queen who has to verify the truth.

After suffering a loss at the hands of Zhen Huan, Chun'er was somewhat defeated after hitting a soft target.

She had just asked the Queen questions because she actually wanted the Queen to stand up for her and take revenge on Zhen Huan and her gang.

However, the queen is not a fool. How could she easily help Chun'er?

After receiving the information provided by Chun'er, the Queen secretly sent people to investigate and finally confirmed that Liu Bin was indeed from Shandong and could be said to be from the same hometown as Shen Meizhuang.

But even so, if I expose this matter, what good will it do me?

The answer is no.

After all, Shen Meizhuang was indeed pregnant, and this was proven by the pulse records from the Imperial Hospital.

Even if Shen Meizhuang became pregnant with the help of Liu Bin's prescription, the fact that she had a child was an ironclad fact!

Now the Emperor and the Empress Dowager are both in a joyful mood, and the Empress will certainly not pour cold water on them at this time.

"It seems that the two maids I assigned to you are not smart enough and cannot teach you well!"

Seeing Chun Er was silent, the Queen knew that she must have nothing to say to her, so she turned to Jian Qiu and said, "Jian Qiu, go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and select a few more maids for Chun Chang Zai."

As soon as Jianqiu heard the Queen's words, she knew what she was going to do, and nodded to show that she understood.

"Empress! No! Don't do that!"

Chun'er only reacted at this time and realized that the Queen wanted to drive away the two maids who had been with her since she entered the palace.

This was like a bolt from the blue to Chun'er, and naturally made him excited.

"Forget it. I am tired today. Please kneel down and greet me."

The Queen was too lazy to continue arguing with Chun'er and just waved her hand. Huichun came out and stopped Chun'er, while she was helped out of the hall by Jianqiu.

……

"My lady, you really don't care?"

In the study, Jianqiu was grinding ink for the Queen while asking her about her plans regarding Shen Meizhuang.

Based on Jianqiu's understanding of her master, she felt that the Queen would definitely not just watch Shen Meizhuang give birth to the child.

However, when facing Concubine Chun just now, the Queen's words made Jianqiu feel that the Queen really did not want to interfere in this matter.

Since she had doubts in her mind, Jianqiu had to ask for clarification.

"You have also checked. The current signs only show that Liu Bin and Concubine Shen are from the same hometown. Even if she was ordered to investigate whether she had secretly taken drugs, the drugs were for early pregnancy. The effect is on herself, not the emperor. As long as it does not harm the emperor's body and can give birth to a healthy heir in the future, the empress dowager will not pursue it."

The queen raised her hand and wrote the word "静" (quiet) on the rice paper with smooth brushstrokes.

Placing the brush on the jade pen holder beside her, the Queen looked at her masterpiece with great satisfaction and said, "Let's not talk about who is behind this, I just need to watch. If someone really wants to take this opportunity to harm Concubine Shen, it's her own fault, Shen Meizhuang, and it has nothing to do with me, so why should I intervene?"

The Queen was suppressed by Concubine Hua for many years after Concubine Hua seized power, so she naturally knew the way to keep a low profile.

Take the present moment for example, she can certainly see that the water in the harem has become turbid.

But it is better to be still than to move. Since the Empress Dowager and the Emperor have not expressed their opinions, she, the Empress of the Central Palace, is also powerless!

"That's what the Queen said."

Jianqiu was still quite confused at first, but after the Queen's explanation, she suddenly understood.

After complimenting the Queen, Jianqiu thought of Chun'er who had been crying non-stop, and could not help but say, "What about Concubine Chun, Your Majesty..."

"She's just a little girl who doesn't know anything. She should be taught a lesson."

The Queen said calmly: "Only when you fall and feel the pain, will you learn your lesson."

"Yes, I know what to do."

Jianqiu understood the meaning of the Queen's words and realized that the Queen wanted to take this opportunity to give Chun'er a good warning. She immediately knew how to carry out the Queen's orders.
