Zhen Huan is still in love, and her sister's goal is to become the queen mother

Chapter 58: Be on guard against all odds

In the past few days, many palace servants have been found to have contracted the epidemic.

Chuxiu Palace is better because Huimin pays attention to it and not many people get sick.

Many palace servants have died in the past few days, and everyone is in danger.

Huimin's instructions were carried out one by one by Ruyi and Shunxin.

The sick people in Chuxiu Palace sought medicine from the imperial physician and were not left to fend for themselves.

So far, the number of deaths in Chuxiu Palace is the least.

Many low-level servants in the palace were very envious, and they all secretly wanted to work in Chuxiu Palace.

Unexpectedly, just a few days later, Qingyan in Huimin Palace fell ill.

This Qingyan was the maid who had followed her when she first entered the palace, and she was also the queen's person.

I didn't expect that the queen thought so highly of me.

It seems that the word "virtuous" has touched her lungs.

When she entered the palace, Fu Cha Peiyun was there, so Huimin did not get the title of noble lady, but was given the title of virtuous.

This is one reason why Huimin is not anxious about her position.

This was the emperor's way of comforting his father. "Xian" was the title of one of the four concubines in the Tang Dynasty.

This was a hint that his father Huimin would eventually be promoted to concubine or consort, giving him peace of mind.

In the previous dynasty, Ortai was loyal to the emperor and performed his duties conscientiously, and his daughter's glory was indispensable.

Qingyan and Qingrou were both people placed by the Queen to be around Huimin. It can only be said that the Queen thinks highly of herself.

However, Qingyan and Qingrou have not taken any action for such a long time and have been quite cautious.

If it weren't for the fact that her father used to be a fifth-rank official in the Ministry of Internal Affairs and had many connections in the palace, and had left many informants and secret agents for Huimin, it would have been almost impossible for the identities of these two people to be discovered.

At least it's difficult before they take action.

Fortunately, thanks to this relationship, Huimin was prepared.

Huimin guessed that Qingyan's illness was most likely the Queen's doing, and that she took advantage of the chaos to infect herself with the plague, thus getting to know her quietly.

Even if you are lucky enough to recover from the illness, you will be seriously injured.

It seems that Qingyan is an abandoned pawn, who was pushed out to harm himself.

But Huimin hasn't let Qingyan get close to her recently, so if she wants to infect someone, she can only do so through her personal maid.

Huimin was always on guard, and Ruyi and Shunxin had little contact with them, but Qingping and Qingtao were ordinary palace maids like Qingrou and the others, and Huimin did not trust them. So the four Qings had contact with each other.

This is unavoidable. Huimin can only make sacrifices and gain something for the sake of the overall situation and future plans.

After Qingyan's illness, Huimin came up with a new idea.

If the queen wants to harm me, I can also use her to my advantage.

The queen didn't know she was pregnant, this was a good opportunity -

Make yourself disappear from people's sight for some time.

Just like the way Zhen Huan avoided favor back then.

If you really doze off, someone will give you a pillow.

Huimin quickly ordered Ruyi to spread the news.

Then let Shunxin pretend to be sick, and slowly let her pretend to have some symptoms of epidemic.

For a while, rumors spread throughout Chuxiu Palace.

Someone serving the virtuous noble lady has been confirmed to have contracted the plague, and even the maidservants who came with her as a dowry seem to have been infected.

For a time, the rumor spread more and more intensely, and three people can make a tiger, not to mention that Huimin deliberately guided the direction of the rumor.

Soon, news spread in the palace that Huimin had contracted an epidemic and was seriously ill.

Huimin has been staying indoors and not seeing anyone for some time. Even when that silly girl Xia Dongchun ran to Chuxiu Palace to see Huimin despite the danger, Huimin refused to meet her and instead sent someone to tell her that she was not feeling well and was not suitable for a meeting.

In order to make it more realistic, Huimin did not send anyone to tell her the truth.

Xia Dongchun was so anxious.

At this moment, some people who were interested saw that Xia Dongchun, who had a good relationship with Huimin recently, was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, and they believed it to be true.

Huimin put on a complete show and issued a strict order that only her personal maidservant could serve her and that no one else could get close to her, in the name of reducing infection.

The imperial physician was called several times in a row. Imperial Physician Wang thought that his junior sister was seriously ill and was very scared.

He came crawling when he was summoned for the first time, and his appearance of parting with life and death shocked everyone.

But seeing that Shunxin was fine, Doctor Wang was relieved and said:

"My little ancestor, you scared me to death."

Seeing Doctor Wang's expression, Huimin was satisfied and felt happy.

"I have the plague."

Doctor Wang wanted to speak, but he saw Huimin's eyes.

He lowered his head and finally swallowed the words that were about to come out.

"Yes, young master, you are weak, so be careful not to get infected by accident."

"I will do my best to treat you, my lord."

Weak? Doctor Wang thought that this young lady was healthier than anyone else, so it was really against his will to say this.

Seeing that he was sensible, Huimin smiled and raised her voice.

"Excuse me, Doctor Wang."

"Cough cough cough."

Huimin deliberately coughed twice in a hurry, then fell onto the bed.

Ruyi cooperated and said loudly:

"My lord, please go slowly and be careful."

Ruyi’s acting has always been realistic. Look at her crying voice and the way she is trying to stand up even though she is worried about the young lady.

Huimin was full of praise.

Not long after, Doctor Wang wrote a prescription and had Ruyi send it out of Suifu Palace.

Along the way, Ruyi was worried, with a sad look on her face, but she was forcing a smile, as if she didn't want others to gloat over her young master's illness, so she was forcing it.

When she went out, Ruyi ran into Qingrou.

Qingrou said with concern:

"How is the young master's illness? Is it serious?"

Ruyi shook her head helplessly, without saying anything.

But seeing Ruyi's performance, Qingrou's eyes flashed and she understood.

He did not forget to comfort Ruyi, "My lady, good fortune will come to you. Everything will be fine."

Ruyi knew that this drama had already made people believe it for the most part.

Although he was angry and disgusted in his heart, Ruyi did not show it on his face and still had a sad expression.

Seeing Qingrou comforting herself, Ruyi patted Qingrou on the shoulder, sighed, and turned around to boil the medicine.

After carrying the medicine into the inner room, Ruyi quickly reported to Huimin:

"My lady, it's all done. Qingrou should believe it."

"She came here intentionally or unintentionally when Doctor Wang was treating me, and she also asked Doctor Wang questions, read my face, and tried to get my words out. This little girl has a lot of tricks up her sleeve."

Huimin smiled and said, "It's because she has so many tricks that she believes it's true."

"It's all thanks to our Ruyi's good acting skills."

Ruyi raised his head proudly and said:

"Of course not, young lady. Ruyi will never embarrass you. Isn't that amazing?"

Huimin couldn't help laughing when she saw her like this.

"Awesome, awesome, really awesome."

"These medicines will all fall out in a while."

Ruyi agreed, and Shunxin rubbed Huimin's shoulders.

I had been lying in bed these days and my waist, shoulders and back were aching, so I gave Huimin a massage.

"My young master, our young master is so nice, he doesn't bother you."

Huimin agreed, "Yes, this child doesn't make me feel nauseous or vomit. Otherwise, it wouldn't be that easy to hide the pregnancy."

Shunxin heard Huimin say this and interrupted:
