"Sister, if you say so, then our current situation is not..."

In the Cunju Hall of Xianfu Palace, Shen Meizhuang dismissed all the palace maids and talked with An Lingrong alone.

Just now, An Lingrong told Shen Meizhuang the whole story of how she was summoned to Jingren Palace by the Queen.

After hearing this, Shen Meizhuang was immediately shocked. Looking at An Lingrong, her expression became a little uneasy.

"Sister Mei, don't panic. Things are not out of control."

An Lingrong first tried to comfort Shen Meizhuang, and then said, "Regardless of whether Noble Lady Fucha's betrayal was true or not, one thing is certain at the moment, that is, the Queen has doubts about us, and Concubine Hua is probably also anxious. The more so, the more we must stay calm and must not panic, otherwise the more panic we have, the more mistakes we will make!"

"you're right."

Shen Meizhuang calmed herself down, then nodded to An Lingrong, agreeing with her words.

Then, Shen Meizhuang seemed to remember something and asked, "Do I need to distance myself from Liu Bin?"

According to the original consensus and established plan, in order to confuse Concubine Hua and others, Shen Meizhuang had to pretend nothing had happened in front of Liu Bin so as not to alert the enemy.

But An Lingrong just said that the Queen had begun to doubt, and if the Emperor had not arrived in time, the Queen would have asked the imperial physician to check An Lingrong's pulse directly.

In comparison, Shen Meizhuang felt that the Queen might be more suspicious of her.

They are the kind of people who "have nothing to fear if they are innocent", but Liu Bin is the one who really has something to hide. If he is frightened into telling everything by the Queen's sudden attack, it would be Concubine Hua who would be troubled. If Liu Bin did not completely lose his mind and instead chose to turn the tables, he might end up getting himself in trouble.

This matter is of great importance, so Shen Meizhuang naturally cannot afford to be careless in dealing with it.

"This is not urgent."

On the way here, An Lingrong had already made a rough plan on how to appease Shen Meizhuang and everyone's next move.

Hearing Shen Meizhuang's question, she could understand her worries, so after a moment of hesitation, she slowly said, "Hua Fei should have another order for Liu Bin. Sister, you can observe him. If he doesn't have any abnormal behavior, it may be that Hua Fei has been admonished and plans to postpone her measures..."

No matter which possibility it is, Shen Meizhuang can discover clues through daily observation.

By then, Shen Meizhuang will be able to adapt to different situations and will be able to cope with it naturally.

Shen Meizhuang is naturally intelligent, and has been carefully nurtured by her mother's family since childhood, so her ability in this area is far superior to others.

An Lingrong believed in her abilities very much, so when she gave her reminders, she only gave them a brief reminder.

Talking with smart people sometimes not only saves effort, but also requires you to keep in mind some taboos, such as talking too much to a simple friend, or going too far in correcting a mistake.

Because of this, every time An Lingrong discussed this issue with Zhen Huan or Shen Meiyu, she would be particularly careful to avoid crossing the line and causing unnecessary rifts between them.

"I understand."

Shen Meizhuang really understood it immediately. The reason why she was uneasy just now was because she suddenly learned the news and thought that she might have to confront the Queen at any time, so she couldn't help feeling scared.

However, as An Lingrong said, things did not get worse. In fact, in some ways, they were actually better for them.

After An Lingrong's reminder, Shen Meizhuang felt as if she had taken a "peace of mind pill". Not only was she no longer panicking, but she also immediately understood the direction.

"No matter what, sister, you must remember that your top priority right now is to ensure that the dragon fetus in your belly is safe and sound, and give birth to it safely. Whether it is a princess or a prince, for sister, they will be your lifelong support."

When An Lingrong said this, she unconsciously thought of her child in her previous life, and her expression was melancholy for a moment.

"Look at what you said, aren't you the same?"

Shen Meizhuang did not notice the sudden change in An Lingrong's expression. After hearing this, she immediately laughed and made a joke.

"Yes, I will take good care of myself too."

An Lingrong's mood was unstable for only a moment, and she returned to normal in the next moment. She said to Shen Meizhuang: "Now the three of us are nobles. If Sister Wan is also pregnant, we will really become the target of public criticism, so we must be careful."

Zhen Huan was originally promoted by Yongzheng and was about to become the envy and jealousy of everyone.

However, later on, because Noble Lady Fucha secretly betrayed Concubine Hua, everyone's attention shifted to the two of them.

An Lingrong and Shen Meizhuang certainly had no complaints about this, but on the other hand, they also needed to be more vigilant to prevent emergencies that could occur at any time.

"Now, Concubine Hua is no longer the only one in power like before. She is competing with the Queen. The strength of both sides is equal. People like Concubine Duan, Concubine Jing and even Concubine Xin adhere to the middle way. We are caught in the middle and it is really difficult to take a step forward."

Although Shen Meizhuang hasn't been out for a long time, it doesn't mean she is blind.

On the contrary, her senses were very sharp, and because Concubine Jing secretly formed an alliance with them to protect the dragon fetus, she brought Shen Meiyu a lot of useful information.

However, the fact that Noble Lady Fucha defected at the critical moment was too secretive, so apart from the people from the Empress and Concubine Hua's factions, the rest of the concubines had no way of knowing about it.

Even if Zhen Huan had told An Lingrong before, it was just her guess. The fact was only confirmed because the Queen summoned An Lingrong.

When Shen Meizhuang mentioned this matter, in addition to lamenting that the palace was like an ocean, she also had a premonition.

There is not much time left for me and others...

Concubine Hua and the Queen are both extraordinary people.

Wanting to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger is nothing but a foolish dream.

Therefore, people like them who have not joined either side will only cause taboos on both sides.

Therefore, they will still be forced to choose a camp and join it in the future. By then, it will be difficult for them not to become "chess pieces" in the hands of others.

"I really don't know what to do."

With Shen Meizhuang's ambition, she certainly doesn't want to be inferior to others and follow the orders of others.

But even if she was pregnant with a dragon fetus, it was not a permanent guarantee. While gaining attention and divine favor, it was also her biggest "weakness".

"Don't worry too much, sister."

An Lingrong seemed to see the worry in Shen Meizhuang's heart, and said calmly: "Yin and Yang coexist, and all things exist together, with only a thin line between them. Therefore, we don't have to follow the crowd and fight to determine who is superior and who is stronger."

"what do you mean?"

Shen Meizhuang could sense that An Lingrong had something else in her words. After concentrating on thinking about it for a while, she actually detected a hint of ambition in her words!
