Shen Meizhuang encountered obstacles everywhere and was at a loss, while her good sister Zhen Huan felt like a fish in water and was in high spirits under her protection.

With grace and Shen Meizhuang's help, Jiaolu Pavilion is no longer the dilapidated state it once was.

Although Zhen Huan was only a court lady, the furnishings and utensils in the house were both elegant and valuable. The yard was planted with Zhen Huan's favorite crabapples, and a swing was also built so that she could accompany the emperor to reminisce about their first meeting when necessary.

In the afternoon, Zhen Huan sat on the couch, reading a book leisurely.

Since she pushed Shen Meizhuang away, she had spent less time being bullied by Concubine Hua and serving the old emperor, so she was in a very good mood recently.

"My young master is very proud of himself now!"

Huanbi rushed in angrily, with an indignant look on her face, and spoke to Zhen Huan in a sarcastic tone.

Liu Zhu, who was standing by Zhen Huan's side, frowned and said, "Huan Bi, how can you speak to the young lady like that?"

"You guys go down first." Zhen Huan said, still maintaining the same posture as before, "Huanbi and I have something to talk about."

After Liu Zhu closed the door, Zhen Huan raised her head and looked at Huan Bi, saying coldly, "It's me who is not interested in you, but I'm not stopping you. Why are you venting your anger on me?"

Ever since Huanbi threatened her with Zhen's entire family, the two sisters have been at odds with each other. The current situation is only because of their blood ties, and they have to be tied together.

So what Zhen Huan said hurt Huanbi's heart especially.

Huanbi was embarrassed and annoyed by the retort. After twisting her handkerchief and being speechless for a while, she still blamed all the mistakes on Zhen Huan.

He said a little without thinking: "I never thought that the eldest sister who looks noble and proud would actually do something like having an affair with her younger brother-in-law. It's really disgusting!"

"Put aside this heinous crime of defiling the palace. Where do you think the Zhen family and their entire clan should be? You have completely disgraced your father."

Zhen Huan chuckled, looked at Huanbi with disdain and complacency, and said in retaliation: "Now you care about the Zhen family again, didn't you say before that you would drag the Zhen family to death together?"

"Besides, aren't you also the emperor, the prince, and the third prince? Why is it that no one is willing to accept you?"

Huanbi immediately retorted: "It's because you seduced the prince, otherwise I would."

"Otherwise, you can use your eyes and eyebrows to get close to him and hope to develop love with him over time." Zhen Huan interrupted in a deep voice, speaking out Huanbi's thoughts, with a cold look in her eyes.

Huanbi was speechless and just glared at Zhen Huan unwillingly.

"It's wishful thinking. Let's just rely on our own abilities..." Zhen Huan put down the book and played with her freshly painted nails. "If you have nothing else to do, go out. It's okay if you want to report it."

An attitude that seems to be completely indifferent and put everything aside.

Huanbi stood there and stared at Zhen Huan for a while. Seeing that Zhen Huan didn't show any sign of panic, she had to grit her teeth, slam the door and leave angrily.

She really wanted to report Zhen Huan, but she was not yet in desperate situation and was unwilling to die, so she could only shut her mouth.

Huanbi left in a hurry and did not notice the astonishment and viciousness in Xiao Yunzi's eyes beside him. He heard a secret that was enough to make everyone in Jiaolu Pavilion lose their heads, and his face was covered with cold sweat.

No, truth cannot be hidden. He must find a way to save himself before the truth comes to light!

Inside the house, Zhen Huan sighed after Huanbi left.

The reason why she had sex with Prince Guo was because she was stimulated by Huan's words that day, and it was an impulsive act when Prince Guo was courting her. She did regret it afterwards.

Just as she was thinking about how to break it off, she saw the jealousy on Huanbi's face that was almost turning into something real, and her mentality changed.

The Prince Guo, who Huanbi is obsessed with and longs to reach, is infatuated with her, but to her, Prince Guo is just a temporary pastime to relieve her worries. A familiar sense of superiority arises spontaneously.

This sense of superiority made her find the self she had almost forgotten, the self who was worthy of the best man in the world.

Why should she have to endure the disgusting temptation to please the old emperor all her life, but could only get the position of a court lady, while Huanbi could still fight for her own future?

If Huanbi succeeds, how will she deal with it?

When Zhen Huan thought about the fact that the old emperor had issued the decree of "no promotion unless she gave birth" on her virgin night, she felt so resentful and hateful that she almost vomited blood.

In an instant, she made a bold decision. She began to meet with Prince Guo frequently and had secret affairs with him in the palace whenever she had the chance.

She knew that she didn't like Prince Guo, but doing so would not only make Huanbi suffer, but also secretly take revenge on the dog emperor. The stimulation of infidelity made her addicted, and she couldn't stop from then on.

.........

The next month, the Crown Princess gave birth to her eldest grandson, and Zhen Huan and An Lingrong became pregnant at the same time.

It should have been a happy event for everyone to celebrate, but something happened that made the emperor's blood boil.

Xiang Fei knelt before the Emperor and Empress, and said confidently: "I discovered that Concubine Shen was suspected of faking pregnancy to win favor. I dare not hide it, so I came to report it to the Emperor and Empress."

"You are talking nonsense!" Shen Meizhuang jumped out excitedly and accused Xiang Fei, "Your Majesty, Empress, Xiang Fei framed me and wanted to put me and the heir to death."

"I also ask the Emperor and Empress to make the decision for me."

Shen Meizhuang just stood there blankly. She didn't even bother to provide evidence to clear herself of suspicion or even to make an excuse for herself. She just ordered someone to deal with Xiang Fei.

The emperor and Wang Ruofu looked at each other and saw confusion in each other's eyes.

It was rare that they had the same idea in tacit understanding. Otherwise, why not let you, Shen Meizhuang, take the position of emperor and empress.

Wang Ruofu coughed, followed Xiang Fei's performance, and said, "Mrs. Shen, please be patient and let Xiang Fei finish her words first."

"Empress." Shen Meizhuang called out, then looked at the emperor. Seeing that the emperor was indifferent, her eyes began to turn red.

It was as if not believing her immediately was a huge injustice to her.

The emperor was left speechless again.

On the contrary, Xiang Fei seized the opportunity and asked Yinxiu to call for witnesses.

Doctor Wen: "Your humble servant greets His Majesty the Emperor and Empress."

When Zhen Huan saw Doctor Wen, her heart tightened and she had a bad feeling. She was already surprised that Shen Meizhuang was pregnant just after regaining favor, and now that Xiang Fei came prepared, she was afraid that Meijie was in danger.

But Shen Meizhuang still acted like an innocent person and would not tolerate slander.

Shen Meizhuang: "Doctor Wen, it was you who diagnosed my pregnancy pulse that day, and it was you who checked my pulse every day after I became pregnant. You are the best person to prove the innocence of this palace and the heir."

"You should quickly explain it to the Emperor and the Empress."

Emperor: "I want to ask you, is Concubine Shen pregnant?"

Doctor Wen wiped the sweat off his face, looking guilty and trembling, and stammered, "Your Majesty, Concubine Shen is not pregnant."

"Impossible! How could a healthy child be gone?" Shen Meizhuang shouted in horror.

Still unwilling to accept this reality, she pointed out that it was Concubine Xiang who colluded with Imperial Physician Wen to harm her and asked the Emperor to conduct a thorough investigation.
