"No need. The child is sick and I really can't sleep. You guys should rest first!" Shen Meizhuang waved her hands in annoyance, signaling the palace maids to leave.

She sat alone by the bed, her heart filled with anxiety and worry.

Ever since Zhen Huan left the palace, she has been feeling an inexplicable fear, as if something bad is about to happen. However, she can't be sure what it is, and can only pray silently that everything will be safe.

The next morning, when the sunlight shone into the bedroom, Shen Meizhuang heard a noise coming from outside.

She frowned and asked the maid what happened.

The palace maid told her that the entire harem had been under martial law, Prince Guo's mansion had also been sealed off, and an important prisoner was being held in Yongshou Palace. This was an order issued by the emperor himself, and no one was allowed to approach.

When Shen Meizhuang heard the news, her heart sank.

The thing she was most worried about finally happened. Zhen Huan was in trouble. She recalled the panic she felt last night. That terrible feeling made her shudder. Now, reality seemed even more cruel than she had imagined.

Just then, Su Peisheng quietly sent someone to deliver a letter.

Shen Meizhuang eagerly took the letter and opened it quickly. When she saw the contents of the letter, her face turned pale instantly, her body shook, and she almost fell to the ground.

Seeing Shen Meizhuang's reaction, Ye Lanyi walked forward in surprise and supported her.

"My queen, what happened? Don't scare me!" Shen Meizhuang handed the letter to Ye Lanyi tremblingly and said in a low voice: "Look for yourself, the sky is falling..."

Ye Lanyi took the letter and quickly read it.

Her expression also became solemn, and a hint of anger and worry flashed in her eyes.

The content of the letter made them realize that Zhen Huan had been taken back to the palace by the emperor and imprisoned in Yongshou Palace, and they didn't know what to do next.

The two looked at each other and both felt like the sky was falling.

"Your Majesty, don't worry about this matter. Let me handle it! I will not give the emperor the chance to order the killing of the prince. Please promise me that when the Seventh Prince ascends the throne one day, you will release Prince Guo!" Ye Lan Yi said coldly, as if she had already made up her mind.

"What are you going to do?" Shen Meimei was suspicious and couldn't help asking.

"Your Highness, what can we do? We can only kill him and put an end to it! The Imperial Noble Consort has the most honorable position in the harem. If the Emperor dies suddenly, the Imperial Noble Consort can support the Seventh Prince to ascend the throne. Please agree to my request, Your Highness!"

Ye Lanyi knelt down on both knees and saluted.

Shen Meimei was stunned. She was so confused at the moment that she didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Historically, Emperor Yongzheng reigned for thirteen years. Now it is the tenth year of Yongzheng's reign. Even if Ye Lanyi wants to kill him, there is no chance of success.

"No, the emperor is suspicious by nature, Concubine Ning, if you do this, won't you be sending yourself to die in vain?"

"My Lady Imperial Concubine, I am alone, so why should I fear life or death? I cannot live with the prince forever in this life, but I am able to die for him, and that is a worthy death! Your Majesty, there is no need to persuade me, and my future actions have nothing to do with you!"

After Ye Lanyi finished speaking, she turned around and left with a firm step and no hesitation.

"Ning Fei, I won't allow you to do anything stupid. This matter needs to be carefully considered. Please listen to me and find out what the emperor thinks before making a decision!"

Shen Meimei shouted to Ye Lanyi, but Ye Lanyi did not stop, but quickly walked out of Tangli Palace.
