Travel through Shen Meizhuang to open the system and walk sideways in the harem

"Your Majesty, Taoists use a lot of sulfur, red copper, black lead, silver and other substances to make elixirs. These metals are harmful to the human body!"

Shen Meimei frowned and looked at Emperor Yongzheng with a worried look. She really couldn't understand why the emperor was so obsessed with elixirs?

"Mei'er, I understand your good intentions, but I also have my own considerations."

The emperor said with a smile, a gleam of determination and confidence in his eyes.

"I believe these pills can help me prolong my life and strengthen my body."

"But……"

Shen Meimei wanted to continue persuading, but was interrupted by the emperor.

"Mei'er, no need to say more. I have already made up my mind. I will also pay attention to the dosage and will not let the pills cause any harm to me."

The emperor patted her hands, signaling her not to worry too much.

Shen Meimei sighed. She knew that given the emperor's obsession with elixirs, no matter what she said, it would be difficult to change his mind.

Emperor Yongzheng reigned for 13 years. In the first few years, he worked hard to govern the country and imprisoned his political enemies, including the Eighth Prince and the Fourteenth Prince. Longkodo and Nian Gengyao were also gradually taken down. By the eighth year of Yongzheng's reign, the emperor had firmly grasped the power in his own hands.

Shen Meimei knew that in the eighth year of Yongzheng's reign, the emperor would fall seriously ill and almost lose his life.

The weather gradually turned cooler. Half a month after the Chinese Valentine's Day, the emperor and his concubines returned to the Forbidden City.

In Jingren Palace, the Queen read the letter that Concubine Jing wrote to her before her death, and said bitterly in her heart: "Concubine Hui, what a cruel method, she actually took Concubine Jing's life!"

Jianqiu's leg was broken, so she walked with a limp. She stepped forward to support the queen, "Your Majesty, I heard that the emperor has returned to the palace. The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, and it will be another day of family reunion."

"Jianqiu, Jingren Palace is my cold palace. I'm afraid I won't be able to leave it in this lifetime!" The queen sighed in frustration. She saw no hope at this moment.

"Your Majesty, don't talk about this. After all, you are still the Empress of the Qing Dynasty, and you have the full right to do so. We just have to wait for the opportunity, and we will definitely be able to get out of this cage." Jianqiu comforted.

"You are right. Concubine Jing is dead, and so are Concubine Zhen and Concubine Duan. You should try to smooth things over and see if you can get Concubine Duan to come to Jingren Palace. I cannot just sit there and wait to die!" The Queen said in a firm tone.

Unfortunately, she didn't wait for Concubine Duan, but waited for Shen Meimei.

Shen Meimei held the letter in her hand and walked slowly into Jingren Palace. She bowed slightly and said, "Greetings to Her Majesty the Queen. May Her Majesty be blessed with good health!"

"Why is it you?" The Queen looked puzzled. She had been waiting for Concubine Duan.

"Empress, when you gave this letter to Concubine Duan, Sister Duan sent someone to deliver it to Suiyuxuan. I knew about what Concubine Jing discussed with Concubine Duan the moment she heard it. In such a big harem, who doesn't have a sister?"

Shen Meimei said it all in one breath. She just wanted to tell the Queen to be honest, otherwise she would let her go.

"Queen, I promised the Queen Mother to let you go, but my patience is limited. Why haven't the harems been able to give birth to children in recent years? It's all your fault!

There is a jar of musk buried under the crabapple tree in Sui Yuxuan, and the infertility medicine you gave to An Lingrong. The reason why Concubine Qi has no children despite her great favor is because of the red agate beads on her neck.

The first child Zhen Huan lost was the scar-removing glue you asked An Lingrong to give her, and there was also Noble Lady Fucha's miscarriage, Concubine Qi's death, etc. I won't list them all!"
