Mipin was not a scheming person. She immediately showed hatred when she heard the words, but she didn't dare to be the first to speak out, so she turned her head and said nothing.

"Princess Lan, Concubine Wan, do you know your crime?" Concubine Hua's originally light tone suddenly became heavier, "I have only been listening to your lecture for two cups of tea today, but you are taking advantage of your pregnancy to disrespect me and leave without reason. Why don't you kneel down now!"

Ye Bingshang raised a triumphant smile at the corner of her mouth hidden by her veil. She and Zhen Huan knelt down one after another, and did not forget to secretly wink at Jingpin, telling her not to plead for her.

After they knelt, Concubine Hua did not rush to let them get up. Instead, she ignored the fact that they were pregnant and started a long speech, making indirect accusations and not forgetting to show off how great the honor that Yinzhen had brought to the Nian family was, which was beyond the reach of others.

Zhen Huan has been exhausted since she came to Japan, and often feels that the fetus in her belly is uneasy. Seeing Concubine Hua being so aggressive, her long-suppressed noble spirit regains its hold and pushes aside her clever mind.

Zhen Huan's face turned cold. Although she lowered her eyes and did not look directly at Concubine Hua, her expression was stubborn and persistent. She brought up the ancestral temple, the country, and the Empress Dowager to pressure Concubine Hua.

He bluntly said that above the Imperial Concubine there is the Empress, and if the Empress is not there, there is the Empress Dowager, implying that no matter how powerful Imperial Concubine Hua is, she is still a concubine after all.

Ye Bingshang was not to be outdone. She straightened her back and looked directly at Concubine Hua from bottom to top. She asked Concubine Hua to take Yinzhen's feelings into consideration. If something really happened between her and Zhen Huan, she wondered whether the years of affection that Concubine Hua mentioned was important to the royal heir.

He also secretly showed off Yinzhen's favoritism towards her, such as granting her the special permission not to pay respects to the Empress, let alone to a royal concubine.

Since Ye Bingshang became Shen Meizhuang, she rarely acted on impulse like this. Even Zhen Huan, who was kneeling in resistance, was a little surprised.

Everyone looked at her and Zhen Huan with eyes that didn't know whether to live or die. Jingpin and An Lingrong were so scared that they immediately knelt down and begged, "Please, Concubine Hua, forgive Concubine Lan and Concubine Wan."

An Lingrong stared at the floor. Facing the pressure from Concubine Hua, her thin body trembled a little, but she still insisted, "I hope Concubine Hua will take the emperor's feelings into consideration."

But unfortunately, Ye Bingshang had made up her mind to frame Concubine Hua, and Zhen Huan's long-suppressed nobleness broke out and she would definitely not give in.

"Ahem." The skinny Concubine Duan suddenly spoke up, her expression mocking and contemptuous, "Women often have emotional disorders when they are pregnant. Concubine Hua hasn't been pregnant for many years, so I guess she can't understand the difficulty."

These words seemed to be an explanation for Ye Bingshang and the others, but in fact they added fuel to the fire. Moreover, since they were said by Concubine Duan, the lethality to Concubine Hua was doubled.

"Yes, how could Concubine Hua understand the hardship of being pregnant?" Concubine Mi echoed, her tone furious, not showing any weakness, "Could it be that Concubine Hua is jealous of others for being able to give birth?"

In Mipin's view, her miscarriage was caused by Concubine Hua and Nian Gengyao. Moreover, Concubine Hua had just mocked her for being pregnant and spoiled. This was like rubbing salt into her wounds. How could she tolerate this?

Snapped--

Concubine Hua waved her hand fiercely, smashing the teapot and teacup on the table to pieces. "Okay, you are fine!"

"Princess Lan and Concubine Wan used sweet words and flattering manners, they disrespected me and my wife, and they are punished to kneel outside the Yikun Palace and recite the female precepts as a lesson. No one is allowed to plead for mercy! Those who violate the rules will kneel together!"

It is now midsummer, the sun is shining brightly, and the granite is hard, but these cannot stop Zhen Huan's determination to fight for her dignity, so she just walks out.

Ye Bingshang followed suit, firstly to act out the whole play, and secondly because the medicinal effect of the veil was almost gone, and she was anxious to leave the Yikun Palace where the fragrance of pleasure permeated her bones.

Seeing how arrogant they were, only Jingpin and An Lingrong had doubts and confusion in their eyes. The others didn't know Ye Bingshang well and still had the impression that Shen Meizhuang was aloof and didn't think there was anything wrong.

It was as if this was something Shen Meizhuang and Zhen Huan could do.

Ye Bingshang saw everyone's reactions and sighed helplessly. In terms of meticulousness and caution, no one in the palace could compare to An Lingrong.

But as Shen Meizhuang said, An Lingrong lost because of her background and vision. The former determined that she had no confidants in the palace, and the latter determined her choices. Those who lose themselves step by step, harm their bodies, and despise themselves will eventually be despised by others.

As pitiful as she was in her previous life, what was the point of resisting and struggling, tragedy was doomed from birth. Fortunately, Ye Bingshang always remembered to love herself.

Thinking of this, Ye Bingshang's eyes flashed with determination and ambition. She knelt down carefully protecting her belly, and chose a less uncomfortable posture, and her back was no longer straight.

She watched quietly as Zhen Huan arrogantly argued with Concubine Hua about justice and human rights, and then was pushed to the ground by Zhou Ninghai.

Concubine Hua sneered and threw down two female rings from a high place in a casual manner. "I will let you know whether justice lies in my hands, Nian Shilan, or in your so-called human heart. Read carefully until I am satisfied!"

Ye Bingshang cooperated by picking up the book and started reading. Zhen Huan, who was standing next to her, had a look of dissatisfaction on her face. She didn't even bother to pick up the book and started reciting directly.

The sun was getting hotter and hotter, but Zhen Huan's forehead was covered with cold sweat, she was weak and shaky. But Concubine Hua was determined to suppress their arrogance while Yinzhen and the Queen were away, and she would not stop until they bowed their heads.

At this point, Ye Bingshang was still able to hold on until she saw Concubine Hua order people to bring out the incense burner burning Huanyi incense. The incense burner was as wide as Ye Bingshang and Zhen Huan combined, and it was in the shape of a square.

Realizing that the veil could no longer block out the smell, Ye Bingshang could vaguely smell the strong aroma. She did not dare to take the risk and fainted on the ground, protecting her stomach.

When Zhen Huan saw her faint, the pride in her heart finally dissipated, replaced by fear and anxiety. With the severe pain coming from her abdomen, Zhen Huan cried out, "My child!" and then fainted.

The shrillness of the sobbing made the concubines panic. An Lingrong was the first to rush down, hugged Zhen Huan and shouted, but when she saw that Zhen Huan had no reaction, she knelt down and begged Concubine Hua to call the imperial physician.

When Concubine Hua saw that the two pregnant concubines had fainted, she panicked and scolded Jiang Shen who was waiting for her: "Didn't you say that kneeling for an hour and a half is not a big deal? Why don't you go down and show them!"

"I, your humble servant obeys your command." Jiang Shen was in a panic, sensing that he might be in great trouble.

At this point, Concubine Hua's first thought was to keep Ye Bingshang and the other two in a side hall of the Yikun Palace. No matter what the outcome was, she would be able to find an excuse to shirk responsibility as soon as possible.

However, Huanbi, who had already left the palace to get married, came hurriedly with Prince Guo. She picked up Ye Bingshang without saying a word and rushed straight to Lanqi Valley despite the rebuke from Concubine Hua.

This action made Huanbi and Wei Lin dumbfounded. What's wrong? You followed Huanbi here, shouldn't you be going to save Zhen Huan?

Wei Lin didn't have time to think about it. Acting was the most important thing, so he hurried to catch up with Prince Guo.
