"Queen Mother, please listen to what I have to say."

Shen Meizhuang had a proper smile on her face, and then she said to the Queen Mother: "Originally, this matter was indeed unknown to me, but by chance, I met Concubine Cao——"

"Sister Hui, when have I seen you before?"

Shen Meizhuang had only said half of her words and the Queen Mother hadn't said anything yet, but Cao Qinmo was suddenly attacked by Concubine Hua's eyes full of disbelief.

Hua Fei's eyes were fierce, like a sharp knife, as if she wanted to gouge out his flesh alive!

Cao Qinmo was frightened by Concubine Hua's terrifying eyes. At this time, she didn't care about being rude and hurriedly interrupted Shen Meizhuang.

As soon as Shen Meizhuang started to speak, she had already felt an ominous premonition in her heart.

But because they were in Shoukang Palace and Shen Meizhuang was a favorite of the Queen Mother, Cao Qinmo certainly didn't dare to speak rashly.

But in the current situation, if I continue to wait and see, not to mention my daughter, I'm afraid I won't be able to protect myself, right?

Having said that, it was beyond Cao Qinmo's expectation that Shen Meizhuang would know that her daughter was taken away by Concubine Hua.

Because she knew that Shen Meizhuang was not an easy person to deal with. Even though she wanted to find an "ally" before, she had set her sights on Zhen Huan, who was favored by the emperor.

Although both Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang are very smart, one has the emperor's support while the other has the empress dowager's backing, so the help they can bring to themselves is completely different.

Because of this, Cao Qinmo just tried her best to talk nonsense to Zhen Huan, hoping to provoke a fight between Zhen Huan and Concubine Hua.

Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang are "good sisters". The reason Shen Meizhuang knew about her own affairs was probably because Zhen Huan revealed it to her, right?

"Sister, you are a forgetful person, so you didn't notice it. That day, it was already late, and I just happened to pass by and saw you crying alone in the garden, with no maids around you. I couldn't help but stop and wanted to comfort you, but then I saw you mumbling to yourself, all of which were about your thoughts and concerns for the princess. Only then did I understand what was going on."

Shen Meizhuang told Cao Qinmo about her past, which surprised her greatly. The worry that she had already let go of was lifted up again.

Shen Meizhuang said that it was not Zhen Huan who told her, but she just happened to see it?

She recalled and indeed remembered that she had stopped outside the Yiku Palace and looked out more than once.

But because the palace walls were so high, nothing could be seen. In the end, Cao Qinmo couldn't help feeling sad, and it was common for her to burst into tears.

This was human nature, but now that Shen Meizhuang had said it, Cao Qinmo felt something was not right.

Concubine Hua has always been petty, and even the slightest disturbance is enough to cause her to react violently.

Now after hearing such words, and in front of the Empress Dowager, Concubine Hua will definitely take her anger out on herself!

Even without turning her head, Cao Qinmo could guess that Concubine Hua's expression must be very ugly.

"I see."

After hearing what Shen Meizhuang said, the Queen Mother felt deeply saddened, and at the same time recalled the past when her son was taken away by Concubine Tong Jia.

Although she had already let go of this son, Yongzheng, and transferred the forbidden art of maternal love to her younger son who was born later.

But seeing Cao Qinmo's distraught look, the Queen Mother couldn't help but feel some pity.

Although she felt sympathy, the Queen Mother was also a little surprised that Shen Meizhuang chose to reveal what she had overheard at this time.

Shen Meizhuang has always acted prudently, and what the empress dowager values ​​most is her "stability".

Although there are no secrets in the palace, it is not fair for Shen Meizhuang to eavesdrop in secret.

Since she chose to reveal the truth in front of everyone now, it couldn't be without reason. There must be a reason behind it!

"To be honest, Queen Mother, I would like to ask for your grace!"

Shen Meizhuang laid the groundwork to this extent just to elicit her own "prayer".

"Lady Hui, you are also a lady from a good family. Let's not talk about whether it is impolite for you to secretly spy on Lady Cao. Now you have to help me manage the affairs of the six palaces. Moreover, you are favored by the Queen Mother. You dare to ask for grace at this time. Isn't it too presumptuous?"

Concubine Hua's face looked very unhappy, and her tone when speaking to Shen Meizhuang was very harsh.

The reason why she remained silent was because she was concerned about the Queen Mother.

Otherwise, Concubine Hua would never have given Shen Meizhuang the opportunity to speak so much.

Concubine Hua did not feel any guilt at all for taking Wen Yi away. Instead, she felt that it was a blessing for Cao Qinmo and her daughter.

I didn't expect that this seemingly honest Cao Qinmo would actually be so dissatisfied with me secretly!

Now, seeing that Shen Meizhuang was still talking, Concubine Hua instinctively thought that she must be taking the opportunity to throw dirty water on her so as to make the Queen Mother dissatisfied with her. How could she let Shen Meizhuang continue talking?

"Don't be anxious, Concubine Hua. The grace I'm asking for is not for myself, but for you and Concubine Cao!"

Shen Meizhuang didn't feel guilty at all because of Concubine Hua's attack. Instead, she said openly, "I've already said it just now. I just passed by there unintentionally, and I didn't ambush there on purpose. As for eavesdropping? When I passed by, Concubine Cao didn't notice my arrival. She was crying sadly. If I went up to comfort her, wouldn't it be embarrassing? As for mentioning this matter today, it's because I saw that the princess was getting thinner, which caused the Queen Mother to worry. In addition, I will be a mother soon. I can't stand by and watch!"

Shen Meizhuang's words made Concubine Hua grit her teeth, but she couldn't find any way to fight back for a while.

Cao Qinmo, who had already lost all hope, suddenly had an idea when he heard this.

Originally, she thought that Shen Meizhuang was reminded by Zhen Huan, so she deliberately made things difficult for her.

But now it seems that the other party's target is undoubtedly Concubine Hua!

Moreover, if Shen Meizhuang were to make a request to the Queen Mother, perhaps she would benefit from it?

"Okay, stop arguing, I'm really having a headache!"

Seeing that the atmosphere between Concubine Hua and Shen Meiyu was becoming increasingly tense, the Queen Mother was very dissatisfied with Concubine Hua.

Shen Meizhuang was the person she favored, so the empress dowager naturally favored her.

In addition, Hua Fei's behavior of snatching the child made the Queen Mother unhappy.

Even though she was a granddaughter, she didn't hold a very high position in her heart. But as she had said before, the princess was of royal blood, a member of a royal family. She was her own granddaughter and a dignified mistress!

Now she has become a tool for concubines to compete for favor and profit. How can the empress dowager be happy?

After hearing what the Queen Mother said, both Shen Meizhuang and the indignant Concubine Hua stopped fighting and behaved themselves.

The Queen Mother said, "Lady Hui, please say whatever you want to say!"

Shen Meizhuang knelt before the Queen Mother and said, "I have no other request, but I hope that the Queen Mother can sympathize with Sister Cao's motherly love and let the princess return to her biological mother. Concubine Hua is ill now and has no time to take care of the affairs of the six palaces. With Princess Wen Yi by her side, I am afraid there will be more trouble!"
