Zhen Huan took the initiative to draw a line between the two, and Ye Bingshang would not rush to give her the cold shoulder. She only showed a sad look in front of Yinzhen, said a few words about how things have changed, and flattered Zhen Huan without making a sound.

Yinzhen was not dissatisfied after knowing this, but was relieved. Although he and Ye Bingshang were in love with each other, he did not want Ye Bingshang's power to grow too strong. "Mei'er should not be too sad. The child is more important."

Ye Bingshang choked, "I understand." There was no point in talking about this anymore.

Although she did not leave Lanqi Valley, she also paid attention to the movements inside and outside the palace.

According to the report from the spy that Yu Gu had planted next to Huanbi, Huanbi accidentally met Prince Guo when she went up the mountain to pray for blessings. For some unknown reason, Huanbi was immediately admitted to Prince Guo's mansion, and the process was not very decent.

Ye Bingshang asked someone to keep an eye on it and put it aside. Fortunately, Huanbi's ability did not cause trouble, and Prince Guo's original plan should have come to an end due to the influence of love.

The most important thing is the palace. While the queen was paying respects to Yinzhen, she recounted the special ways in which Yinzhen treated her and how her child was favored by Yinzhen. At the same time, she secretly pushed Chun Changzai to sleep with her, hoping that she would replace Zhen Huan's original favorite concubine.

Yu Gu: "Your Majesty, don't worry. The Emperor still likes you the most."

"It's no use loving him any more. Having three wives and four concubines is his right. How could he give it up?" Ye Bingshang put away the heart knot and pear blossom jade pendant with a cold expression, and stroked her belly which was getting bigger day by day.

It would be impossible for her to serve the emperor in the short term. Concubine Nian and Zhen Huan had either passively or actively fallen out of favor, and there were only so many people like them in the palace. It was only a matter of time before the young and fresh Concubine Chun would be favored in the emperor's bedchamber.

But she didn't want the Queen to get away with it. Ye Bingshang pondered for a moment, thinking of the Scar-Soothing Glue and An Lingrong's meaningful behavior at that time.

Ye Bingshang found the folding fan that An Lingrong had given her, and instructed Yu Gu, "Send this folding fan to An Changzai, and then go to the Imperial Hospital to find Doctor Wei and ask him to treat Concubine Duan's condition."

"The Queen wants to help Lady An, but she is very close to Concubine Wan."

"Whether or not a relationship is close is not determined by appearance. Concubine Chun is also close to Concubine Wan. Just do as I say, and she will understand what I mean." Ye Bingshang had no intention of explaining too much. Anyway, the most urgent task was to prevent the Queen from getting the advantage.

Besides, An Lingrong's weakness was so obvious that Ye Bingshang raised a self-deprecating smile, with hatred flashing in her eyes, "Tell my father and uncle to pay more attention to An Changzai's father, An Bihuai, and make sure to find evidence of his crime, the more the better."

If no evidence can be found, they will create evidence. He is just an eighth-rank official.

She and An Lingrong had similar growth experiences. The more she was disliked by her father, the more she couldn't let go of her biological father and wanted him to see her excellence and hard work.

If one person is convicted, the whole family will suffer. If we have the evidence of An Bihuai's crime, we will have An Lingrong under control, which is much easier to deal with than the Queen and Chun Changzai.

Ye Bingshang found Concubine Duan and proposed a replacement condition. Her words were polite and respectful, but she could not refuse. "I heard that Concubine Duan was taught to play the pipa by Empress Chunyuan. I would like to ask you to teach Sister An a little. Of course, your majesty is weak and should not work too hard."

"It just so happens that the imperial physician Wei Lin who treated me has done some research on the Chihua medicine you have taken. I think it may be able to provide some relief for you. What do you think?"

"..." Concubine Duan almost couldn't breathe. You had said everything she wanted to say and blocked her way, and yet you still asked her what to do.

Concubine Duan has been hiding from the world and disguising herself for many years. She is the best at guessing people's minds. The young and beautiful Ye Bingshang in front of her is not naive at all, and there is not a single sympathy or pity for the sick and weak in her eyes.

He is a smart and ruthless person, and he is still so young. What can she achieve by cooperating with such a person?

So she still prefers to cooperate with Zhen Huan. However, her body is now severely damaged by Chi Huan, and only Wei Lin can relieve the pain. She can only agree to Ye Bingshang's replacement conditions and start teaching An Lingrong to play the pipa with the musician.

When An Lingrong saw the folding fan, she guessed what Ye Bingshang meant and happily accepted the olive branch, reaching a temporary cooperation.

The three of them were very careful in their secret planning, and even Zhen Huan and Jingpin who lived with them were unaware of it, but the Queen knew about it and frequently mentioned Chun Changzai in front of Yinzhen in advance.

This undoubtedly shows that there is a traitor among the people serving them. There are only two or three people in Concubine Duan's Yanqing Palace, so the traitor has nowhere to hide. And Ye Bingshang's palace is strictly guarded, so there is no possibility of a traitor.

There was only something wrong with the crowded and gossipy Sui Yuxuan. An Lingrong first suspected that it was Chun Changzai who lived with her, but it didn't seem like that. Finally, she shifted her attention to Baojuan, who was always trying to sow discord between her and Zhen Huan.

Seeing that Concubine Chun might soon serve the emperor in the imperial bedchamber and was getting closer and closer to Zhen Huan, they could not wait any longer and would rather kill her by mistake than let her go.

After all, An Lingrong was also a concubine. She found an excuse to send Baojuan to the Xinzheku and promoted Juqing, who had been given to her by Zhen Huan, and the matter was finally settled.

An Lingrong still couldn't help but feel flustered, "The Queen actually made plans before I entered the palace. She is already the Queen, what else does she want?"

The feeling of being targeted early in the morning was really chilling, especially for someone as meticulous and thoughtful as An Lingrong.

"Who would complain about not having enough money? The principle is the same." Ye Bingshang didn't care. "The most important thing right now is to gain favor before the Queen and Concubine Chun plan."

An Lingrong blinked, a flash of cruelty flashed across her eyes, and her tone seemed a little sarcastic, "That's not difficult."

"As long as you have an idea."

The two of them understood each other tacitly that the scar-removing glue that Chun Changzai gave to Zhen Huan should come in handy.

Not long after, Zhen Huan took the initiative to bring Wen Shichu to the Yangxin Palace to see the emperor, and bluntly said that she had miscarried after kneeling for less than half an hour because of the musk in her body. Wen Shichu was there to testify.

Yinzhen was so frightened that he thought the matter of Huan Yixiang was exposed. He stared at Wen Shichu who didn't know the rules in shock and anger, "How dare you!"

Zhen Huan took Yinzhen's anger as sympathy for her situation, and told him everything about the large amount of musk in the scar-removing glue that Chun Changzai gave her, and cried even more bitterly.

"Since I entered the palace, I have treated Concubine Chun as my own sister and have never done anything wrong to her. I never thought she could be so cruel and deliberately harm my child!"

Zhen Huan was so sad that she almost fainted from crying, but Yinzhen felt that things had turned around and couldn't help but let out a heavy breath. It would be better if Huan Yi Xiang was discovered, and then he wouldn't have to feel guilty at all.

——Whether Huan Yixiang was there or not, Zhen Huan couldn't keep the child. It was all her own fault. She was too strong-willed and angered Concubine Hua, and she made careless friends and trusted others.

Thinking of this, Yinzhen suddenly became enlightened and looked at Wen Shichu with a little appreciation. "Changzai Fang Jiashi, plotted to murder the heir to the throne. She is demoted to a commoner, moved to the cold palace, and ordered to commit suicide."
