After leaving the lotus pond, Huimin thought carefully about the Fourth Prince, and in a blink of an eye she arrived at her own Hanyue Tower.

The Hanyue Tower has skylights above and below, and one can take in the beautiful scenery of the lake. It is a breathtaking sight.

The emperor praised Huimin for being as bright as the moon and as bright as jade, and she was a perfect match for the Hanyue Tower.

Huimin walked into the room. Shen Meizhuang was already sitting in the inner room. Zhen Huan was chatting with her with a smile. There were a few bowls of sour plum soup on the table.

Huimin looked at the sour plum soup and smiled, thinking of the Fourth Prince.

"My two sisters are so leisurely, drinking sour plums to relieve the summer heat."

Huimin also entered the inner room, and Ruyi helped her take off her headdress a little, and then she sat next to Shen Meizhuang.

"Why are you here, sister?" He lowered his voice again, "But what about Concubine Hua?"

Shen Meizhuang shook her head, smiling in her watery eyes as she handed a bowl of sour plum soup to Huimin.

"Not for this, but...you drink first."

Shen Meizhuang kept it a secret, and Huimin didn't rush her. She picked up the sour plum soup and took a sip.

"Well, this is a good dish. I always like this dish and the taste is just to my liking this time."

Huimin drank it all with a smile, and Shen Meizhuang also smiled.

"This was made by my new maid Fuling."

Then Shen Meizhuang stopped keeping the secret and took out a prescription.

"This is a new recipe I got. Thinking of you and Huan'er, let's eat it together. In the palace, being loved is important, but having children is more important. After all, we need someone to rely on."

Huimin was stunned. Is this the fake pregnancy recipe? Shen Meizhuang was thinking about herself, but how should she remind her?

"Sister, whether this prescription is reliable or not needs to be examined by the imperial physician."

Seeing that Shen Meizhuang was willing to share this thing with her, Huimin was willing to remind her a thing or two, but Shen Meizhuang said.

"This prescription has been checked by the imperial physician. You are a very cautious person, so don't worry. I have been taking it for a long time and it feels good, so I will send it to you as well."

This... Alas, Huimin could only try her best to persuade him, but it is taboo to talk too deeply with someone you just met.

Seeing Shen Meizhuang like this, they could only ask Doctor Wang to reveal the truth to her.

But after Shen Meizhuang and the others left, before Doctor Wang arrived, news came out in the afternoon that Shen Meizhuang was pregnant.

This caught Huimin off guard, as Concubine Hua acted too quickly.

It was too late after all. Shen Meizhuang had no way of defending herself from the crime of deceiving the emperor.

The only way to confirm this is to either confirm that she is pregnant or...

Huimin arrived in the evening among the crowd who went to congratulate, and only Shen Meizhuang and Zhen Huan were still there.

"Sister, congratulations. Meet Sister Hui."

Huimin even showed off by bowing, which made Shen Meizhuang feel embarrassed.

"Sister, you embarrass me."

People in Meizhuang feel refreshed and radiant when happy events happen.

"Sister, this is a happy event."

Now Shen Meizhuang will not easily believe that she is not pregnant. It would be bad if Huimin keeps persuading her.

"But the palace is full of tricks. We must find a way to protect this hard-earned child."

Huimin started with preserving the fetus, and Meizhuang really took it seriously, and Zhen Huan also nodded in agreement.

"Among the three of us, Sister Mei is the first to get pregnant, but we have no experience, and there have been so many before... It's always better to be on guard."

Shen Meizhuang was moved and took Huimin's hand, "Thank you for thinking of me like this, sister."

Huimin shook her hand back, "We sisters can only survive in the palace if we are united in purpose and determination."

Huimin then took the opportunity to suggest, "Let Dr. Wang come tomorrow to check on my sister, to make sure there are no unclean things disturbing the Dragonborn."

As expected, Shen Meizhuang did not refuse but was deeply moved.

Huimin didn't want Shen Meizhuang to fall out of favor because of her fake pregnancy. A single flower blooming does not make spring, but a hundred flowers in bloom make the garden full of spring.

Only when a hundred flowers bloom can you fish in troubled waters, stir up the chess game, and protect yourself.

On the second day, Doctor Wang took the opportunity to check Huimin's pulse and also checked Meizhuang's pulse.

But when taking the patient's pulse, Doctor Wang's expression gradually became uneasy. Shen Meizhuang felt uneasy when she saw this, fearing that the patient had been infected and the dragon fetus was in danger.

"Lord Wang, this is..."

Shen Meizhuang spoke anxiously, her expression full of uneasiness.

Doctor Wang lowered his head and said softly:

"My lady, I'm afraid you're not pregnant. This pulse is somewhat similar, but in fact, it should be that you took a prescription to delay your period."

After Shen Meizhuang heard this, she felt dizzy and almost fell to the ground.

"How could this be? Did the diagnosis go wrong? Doctor Liu said I was pregnant earlier, and I still have those pregnancy symptoms..."

Shen Meizhuang still didn't give up and kept trying to prove that she was indeed pregnant.

"My lady's condition is probably caused by the medicine, but I am afraid I might make a mistake if I diagnose your pulse alone. You can also ask other imperial doctors to diagnose it carefully.

But Shen Meizhuang still trusted Huimin, knowing that this Imperial Doctor Wang was invited by her, so he must have good medical skills.

"But what on earth is going on? Those two imperial doctors..."

Shen Meizhuang was thinking about it herself, and then a light bulb went off in her head and she suddenly realized it.

"No wonder, no wonder, how come there's a fellow Jeju native all of a sudden, and I just happened to meet him that day, I'm afraid it was all planned."

"Hua Fei, it must be Hua Fei, she is the one who wants to harm me."

No matter how steady Shen Meizhuang is, she would be at a loss when faced with such a thing.

"What should I do? The Emperor already thinks I'm pregnant, and it was confirmed by the imperial physician I appointed right in front of him."

Huimin and Zhen Huan both understood what she meant.

"Don't panic, sister. Although the emperor already knows about this, he won't act so quickly."

Huimin comforted Shen Meizhuang, looked at Zhen Huan, and continued to express her opinions.

"Since we can't prove that she's not pregnant, let's just make it a fact."

Shen Meizhuang was still confused, but Zhen Huan understood Huimin's meaning.

"You mean to go all out and just have a miscarriage?"

Huimin smiled and clapped her hands gently.

"Sister Zhen understands me. If it is true, the emperor will not turn over the card during the pregnancy, and the only option is an accidental miscarriage. If the child is gone, the problem will be solved, and it can also win the emperor's sympathy."

Shen Meizhuang's panicked heart gradually calmed down, and her mind became much clearer.

"Sister Huimin is right. We must not let Concubine Hua succeed."

Shen Meizhuang looked at Huimin with gratitude and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sister Mei, someone is trying to harm you this time. I think I can't just think of Concubine Hua. You see, when you think of someone trying to harm you, you think of Concubine Hua."

"What if someone takes advantage of this and wants to make Sister fight with Concubine Hua? It's just that the fisherman will gain the advantage while the snipe and the clam fight. This conspiracy is aimed at Sister, so you must think twice and don't underestimate the enemy."

Huimin wanted Shen Meizhuang, and Zhen Huan had long been wary of the Queen. If she joined her camp to overthrow the Queen, she would naturally have to discredit the Queen.

As expected, after these words were spoken, Shen Meizhuang and Zhen Huan both seemed to be thinking about something.

The murderer is most likely the person who gained the most. Hua Fei and Shen Meizhuang were fighting for who would be the winner. I'm sure they would be terrified if they thought about it carefully.
