"Today's incident involving Huanbi has involved the Zhen family. Once I stand up for her, the emperor might remember the rumor that Huanbi is my daughter. How dare I gamble with the entire Zhen family?" Zhen Huan walked up to Shen Meiyu and said, twisting the handkerchief in her hand.

"But she helped you today! I used to think I understood you, but I'm afraid I don't understand you anymore after today. The Zhen Huan I know is definitely not such a timid person!" Shen Meizhuang looked at Zhen Huan steadily, and Zhen Huan avoided her gaze in panic.

Yes, when did I start to change?! Maybe I haven't changed at all, but I just don't want to help from the bottom of my heart...

Zhen Huan stood there in a daze, not saying a word...

Maybe people are just like this. Let alone an old acquaintance, even if she is a close sister, you can live a good life, but she can never live better than you!

In the past, An Lingrong’s family background, appearance, talent... were all inferior to mine.

But what about now?! Not only is her position equal to his, she lives in Chengqian Palace which is comparable to Yikun Palace. The most abominable thing is that she can even have her own desk in both the Yangxin Palace and the Imperial Study Room given to her by the Emperor!

Once upon a time, she thought that the emperor treated her differently from others. Whenever the emperor saw her, his brows and eyes were softer than when he saw others. She thought that even if she could not become the emperor's exclusive favorite, she should be the most unique existence in the harem...

But today, she, An Lingrong, only called out "Your Majesty..." softly, and the look in the emperor's eyes when he looked at her was even softer than before!

Yes! She was jealous! She was jealous to the point of madness! At that moment, she even hoped that An Lingrong's guilt could be proven!

However, she knew she shouldn't think like this. She also wanted to step forward and plead for her. At least she should step forward to repay the favor she had done to Huanbi today. But she couldn't take that step at that time. She was also in pain... But how could she express this pain? !

"Forget it. It's my fault for being nosy. Lingrong has saved me from danger many times in the past. I only ask of myself and shouldn't ask of you the same as me." Shen Meizhuang said as she sat on the Arhat bed, lowered her head, and stopped talking.

"Sister Mei, I know she has helped you many times, but you also have to understand that since we entered the palace, we have been carrying the honor and disgrace of our family on our shoulders. Lingrong is different from us after all. We have a huge family behind us. If we are not careful, we will become the sinners of the family!" Zhen Huan said as she came to Shen Meizhuang and pulled her hand.

"Huan'er, you actually think so! Lingrong didn't just help me, she saved my life!

Also, I beg you to differ with what you said today. We have families behind us, and so does she! Why can she stand up for you and me? But you can't? We all have families, but are yours more valuable than others? ! "

Shen Meizhuang said as she looked at Zhen Huan, who also looked at Shen Meizhuang in shock, and shouted in disbelief, "Sister Mei!"

"Okay! It's all my fault. I only thought about the affection we had in the past, but forgot that people change as they grow up. Now it seems that my sister and I have become estranged from each other." Shen Meizhuang looked out the window again and said no more.

"Sister Mei! You have only known her for a few days? Can you really see her clearly? She has no family background, no talent, and even in terms of appearance, she is not as good as you and me. If she had not been so clever, she would have been a concubine like you and me after only two years in the palace! Sister, don't let this villain fool you!"

Zhen Huan was so angry that she stood up and blocked Shen Meizhuang's sight, forcing Shen Meizhuang to look at her.

"Promotion of rank in the harem is based on one's own ability. As for her state of mind, I only believe my eyes!" Shen Meizhuang spoke and looked at Zhen Huan. The two looked at each other and stopped talking.

"Forget it, let's not talk about it. I was the one who was meddling today. Everyone has their own thoughts and concerns. I shouldn't ask you for anything. I'm tired. You can go back first." Shen Meizhuang was the first to retract her gaze, looked out the window, and spoke lightly.

"Since Sister Mei is tired, I will take my leave first."

After Zhen Huan finished speaking, her face darkened. She glanced at Shen Meizhuang again and saw that she really had no intention of trying to keep her. She walked out of Cun Ju Tang...

At night, the emperor came to Chengqian Palace.

When the emperor arrived, An Lingrong asked Sang'er to say that she had already gone to bed, but the emperor still insisted on coming in.

"I saw you reading a book through the window. How come you said you were asleep?" The emperor said as he walked into the inner hall. An Lingrong quickly picked up the book in her hand to cover her face.

"May the emperor be healthy and well." An Lingrong said as she stood up and saluted, but only turned her side face towards the emperor.

"What's wrong with you?" The emperor helped An Lingrong up and wanted to look at her other side. An Lingrong quickly turned her head away, but the emperor still saw her red and swollen left face.

"What's wrong with your face?" The emperor pulled An Lingrong to sit in his arms, with a look of heartache on his face.

"I am stupid, and it is only right that the Queen punishes me." An Lingrong said and turned her face away.

"Your Majesty, my appearance is damaged today, and I am afraid I can no longer serve Your Majesty." An Lingrong spoke, her tone full of self-blame and a hint of reluctance.

"It's okay. Let me see if the medicine has been applied." After the emperor said this, An Lingrong turned her head and nodded.

"She hit me so hard!" The emperor looked at the fingerprints still faintly visible on An Lingrong's face and felt really distressed this time.

An Lingrong was young and had the ability to mix perfume and powder, so she usually took very good care of herself, especially her face. Although it was not so delicate that it could be blown away, it was still as white as cream...

"It just looks scary, it doesn't hurt. Your Majesty, please stop looking at me. I must be so ugly right now..." An Lingrong lowered her head shyly. The emperor took a deep breath and said:

"It's my fault for not protecting you well, but the Queen is the Empress, and even though I'm the Emperor, I can't find out the truth about everything.

You have a good temper. If it were someone else, they would have come to me long ago. You! You are still stupid. You even tried to stop me from seeing it!

The only woman with such a heart that I have ever seen was Queen Chunyuan. Now I have met you, Rong'er. I will make it up to you in the future." The emperor held An Lingrong's hand, his eyes full of tenderness...

"I understand everything. I don't ask for anything else. As long as I can not embarrass the emperor and let me stay with him every day, I will be satisfied." An Lingrong leaned in the emperor's arms, lowered her head and murmured a few words.

The emperor couldn't hide his throbbing heart after hearing this. He hugged the person in his arms tightly, savoring the love between the words in his heart. It took a long time for him to calm down...

Even though An Lingrong was unable to serve him, the emperor still stayed in Chengqian Palace that night. The two of them slept in each other's arms, and they both had some peace and quiet.

Department of Caution and Punishment.

The moon was bright and the stars were sparse, and the Forbidden City was much quieter than other places. After midnight, under the cover of night, the Queen took Jiang Fuhai to the Ministry of Punishment.

Jiang Fuhai had made arrangements for everything, so the queen walked straight in.

When the queen saw Jianqiu, even though she was mentally prepared, she was still shocked by Jianqiu's appearance.
