When Su Peisheng led his men into the west hall of Suiyuxuan, Fang Chunyi, who was not able to endure the psychological pressure, knelt down directly, "Eunuch Su, I, I didn't do it, it wasn't me..."

The sentence was spoken in a discontinuous manner and the words were not clear enough. Su Peisheng could not help rolling his eyes. Well, with such little ability, he dared to murder the royal heir. Fang Jia must hate Fang Chunyi's lineage to death.

Su Peisheng threatened directly: "Mr. Fang Jia, the evidence is irrefutable, you should cooperate. Do you want to add another charge of disobeying the emperor's order? I advise you to think more about your family."

Fang Chunyi was completely hopeless. She really regretted it at this moment. She was dragged away crying, "I don't want to die, I don't want to die, I'm only sixteen years old."

Fang Chunyi, a commoner, was sixteen years old. She had been in the palace for several years but had never been a concubine. She was sentenced to death for plotting to murder the heir to the throne. Her parents and relatives were also implicated and demoted again and again.

The mastermind has been punished, and Nian Shilan has been cleared of the charge of murdering the royal heir. Nian Shilan has been reinstated as Concubine Hua and exempted from the punishment of kneeling every day.

Considering that Concubine Hua ignored the royal heir, she punished two pregnant concubines by making them kneel until they fainted, and then ordered them to continue copying books to reflect on their mistakes. After they finished copying, they would be released from the ban and regain their rights to assist in managing the six palaces.

This move was also to paint a rosy picture and appease Nian Gengyao's letter of greeting.

The matter came to an end, but Zhen Huan still refused to give in. Instead, she became more pretentious, blaming Yinzhen for ignoring her during this period. Ye Bingshang sneered at this.

I really don't understand why these people who regard love as the highest ideal in life cannot get along with imperial power. Isn't that crazy?

An Lingrong looked coldly in the direction of the cold palace, "Lady Lanpin, do you think the Queen will get a headache now because of anger?"

"Maybe. The Queen's headache always occurs when necessary." Ye Bingshang replied as if she was talking about everyday life.

Seeing that she was not happy, An Lingrong said casually: "Lady Lan, you should go and see Concubine Fang Jia. After all, she entered the palace together. I heard that she refused to die."

Ye Bingshang raised her lips, guessing what An Lingrong was thinking, and said with a hint of meaning: "I don't have the hobby of seeing people off at their graves. If you want to go, go ahead."

"Sister, you are still the same sister as before. It's just that time is unforgiving." An Lingrong said meaningfully, as if she remembered something, "Then I will take my leave first."

What happened before happened again. An Lingrong took the initiative to go to the cold palace to help Zhen Huan find out who harmed her. Then she returned to Sui Yuxuan to find Zhen Huan in the hope of taking credit.

But this time, no one said that An Lingrong was cruel, and Zhen Huan did not have any grudge against her. Instead, she felt extremely regretful and guilty for her previous neglect of An Lingrong.

"Lingrong, since I entered the palace, you are the only one who has been thinking about me, but I trusted others too easily." Zhen Huan held An Lingrong's hand tightly, as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw.

She lost her child, alienated her sister Mei, treated Yinzhen coldly, and Fang Chunyi betrayed and hurt her. She only had two cards left in the palace: An Lingrong and Cui Jinxi.

"Sister, Fang Jia is dead. You have avenged your son's death and it's time to cheer up again. Ling Rong is willing to do anything to protect you."

An Lingrong didn't know what Zhen Huan was thinking, and even if she did, she wouldn't care. As long as she could rely on her sister Wan and be the only person supported by her sister Wan, it was enough.

After dealing with Fang Chunyi, Yinzhen also took the initiative to go to Suiyuxuan, but was stopped by Zhen Huan in just a few words.

"Has Your Majesty ever thought about me these days? Has Your Majesty ever thought about my innocent child?" Zhen Huan said coldly, stubbornly not looking at Yinzhen. "I'm afraid not. Your Majesty still has the child in Lanpin's belly, and there will be more children in the future."

"Wanpin." Yinzhen's tone was steady and serious, with a warning and displeasure on his face, "I am also sad that the child is gone. Are you blaming me?"

"I don't dare."

There were no scars on Zhen Huan's face anymore, but her cold and resentful expression made Yinzhen feel very unfamiliar.

Not only did she lack the kindness of Chun Yuan, nor the gentleness of apricot blossoms in the rain, but she was extremely mean. The jealousy hidden deep within made Yinzhen both familiar and disgusted. She was no different from the women in the harem.

"I don't want to hear such words from you again." Yinzhen threw the eighteen-bead bracelet in his hand away with an impatient tone, and left after leaving these words.

From then on, everyone in the six palaces understood that although Zhen Huan was given the title of concubine and gained palace power, her favor was in jeopardy. Unlike when she first entered the palace, she no longer had Shen Meizhuang to take care of her. Her life was obviously becoming difficult.

She has the power in the palace, so she won't be deducted. But people are afraid of comparison. How can the situation when she was favored in the past be compared with this share? In addition, the gossip behind her back from those who flatter the powerful and bully the weak makes Zhen Huan more exhausted.

An Lingrong saw Zhen Huan's pain but showed no mercy. She took advantage of the situation and won favor with her singing voice and pipa, and was promoted to a noble lady.

Ru Mipin Xinchang gritted her teeth while waiting. After waiting for a long time, the three former favorite concubines were all unable to sleep with her, but then a vixen who could sing and play the pipa appeared.

The Queen only knew that An Lingrong was preparing to learn the pipa to win favor, and she didn't know about An Lingrong and Ye Bingshang's private dealings, so she was not too angry.

The queen drank the medicine to relieve her headache in one gulp without changing her expression. She also refused the candied fruit handed to her by Jianqiu. "Princess Lan is pregnant, favored, and has a good family background. She is too powerful. It would be great if someone could come out to suppress her. It's a pity that Baojuan is a hidden chess piece."

Because one of the two people in the Sui Yuxuan group is powerful and the other is favored, although Concubine Hua has not yet been released from the ban, she has been restored to the throne, and a three-way balance of power has been formed again.

The only thing that was an eyesore was Ye Bingshang's twins who were about to be born, but Yinzhen and Ye Bingshang were too cautious, so she had no idea where to start. She couldn't just ask her to bring the abortion medicine and feed it directly to Ye Bingshang.

She is not Concubine Duan, and Ye Bingshang is not Concubine Hua.

Because of this matter, the Queen suffered from frequent headaches several times. She was in so much pain that she simply forgot to greet everyone, since Ye Bingshang would not have her period before giving birth anyway.

This time, Shen Meizhuang did not take Zhen Huan to the cold palace to persuade her to cheer up, and she did not run into Concubine Qi and Concubine Mi who were strolling together, and there was no scene of being forced to kneel in the street and being humiliated.

Therefore, Zhen Huan had no way out and no reason to convince herself to compete for favor. She had always claimed that she did not want to enter the palace and did not seek position or honor, so she could not go back on her word.

So until Ye Bingshang had a fit and gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, Zhen Huan still showed no signs of regaining favor.

The day of delivery happened to be the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. After the court session, Yinzhen rushed to Lanqi Valley and waited anxiously from dawn to dusk, clenching the eighteen beads in his hands non-stop.
