When the news of Concubine Borjigit's pregnancy spread, it wasn't just the two people in the Yanxi Palace who were unhappy.

If we were to say who the most unhappy people are, it would probably be the Queen and Concubine Hua.

However, Lady Borjigit's luck seemed to be bad, because just two days after she found out she was pregnant, news of an epidemic spread in the capital.

A few days later, an epidemic broke out in the palace, and it first broke out from the Yikun Palace.

Jiang Fuhai, who was beside the Queen, also came and said that it was the Queen's intention to hand over the Six Western Palaces to Concubine Hua. He also specifically explained that although Shen Meiyu was under house arrest, she should not be left out.

When Concubine Hua found out about this, she felt it was bad luck. In addition, a young eunuch in her palace was the first to be infected with the plague. She immediately ordered people to burn all the things used by the eunuch who had the plague. Concubine Cao, who was standing nearby, rolled her eyes and came up with an idea.

"Your Majesty, Liu Bin ran away and has not been found yet. This is always a big worry for us." A cautious person like Cao Guiren would never allow such a mistake to happen. "Although Shen Meizhuang has been abandoned by the emperor now, she may be remembered one day. What's more, if Zhen Huan finds out something, I'm afraid..."

Hua Fei hadn't thought about Shen Meizhuang for a while. Now that she was reminded of this again and again, she felt that this was not going well and she had to find a way to deal with this matter.

"Do you have any solution?" Concubine Hua looked at Concubine Cao.

Concubine Cao smiled and said, "I heard that things used by people who have had the plague cannot be used again, otherwise you will also be infected with the plague..."

At this point, Concubine Hua also understood and immediately asked Zhou Ninghai: "Are the things used by the eunuch who was infected with the plague still there?"

Zhou Ninghai bowed his head and said, "In reply to your Majesty, I have it, but there is still a set of tea sets that I haven't had time to deal with yet."

"Send such a good thing to Cunju Hall." Concubine Hua said casually, as if she was talking about today's weather. "Poor Miss Shen has been confined for so long, I'm afraid she hasn't even changed her tea set yet. I will be kind today and give her a set."

Zhou Ninghai smiled knowingly: "Yeah."

……

During this period, Xia Dongchun and Noble Lady Borjigit rarely met each other. They both tried not to go out. Noble Lady Borjigit was pregnant and was afraid something might happen, while Xia Dongchun was afraid Ling Yuan was still young and she was afraid something might happen to her.

The Imperial Medical Bureau also sent some medicines to prevent epidemics to each palace. The things for the Yanx Palace were sent together, but there were three masters. When the young eunuch delivered the medicines, Bai Yu, who was beside Noble Lady Fucha, happened to be outside. When he saw it, he asked people to stop them and move all the medicines back to Noble Lady Fucha.

It happened that Zhen Huan was at An Lingrong's place. When she heard about this, she hurried out of the house to stop Noble Lady Fucha.

But how could Noble Lady Fucha easily agree to share the medicinal materials? If she was so easy to talk to, she would not have not opposed Bai Yu's actions after learning about them, but would have come out to support Bai Yu.

"Noble Lady Fucha, these herbs were originally meant for the entire Yanx Palace. Since there are three people living in the Yanx Palace, it would be inconvenient for you to monopolize them, right?" Zhen Huan didn't want to give up. The herbs at this time were extremely precious and were limited in number. If Noble Lady Fucha really monopolized them all, then An Lingrong would definitely not be able to get a second portion.

Noble Lady Fucha originally did not want to argue any more, but after hearing this, she was still angry. She stopped and turned to look at Zhen Huan: "I am pregnant now, so of course I have to put Dragon Offspring first. Concubine An is strong and healthy, so I think it won't matter if I don't have these herbs."

"what you do?!"

Zhen Huan and Noble Lady Fucha were arguing when they heard Bai Yu and another young eunuch who were carrying medicinal herbs behind Noble Lady Fucha scream.

Several people looked over at the same time and saw that the basket of medicinal herbs was no longer in Bai Yu's hand, but in Yin Zhu's hand on the other side.

Yin Zhu looked weak, but she was very strong. She pulled the basket of medicinal herbs by herself, and Bai Yu and another young eunuch could not snatch it away.

Yin Zhu didn't say anything. She quickly separated the portions for Xia Dongchun and let go of the basket. Bai Yu and the young eunuch were not prepared for her sudden loosening of their grip and fell to the ground due to inertia.

"Stop!" Noble Lady Fucha screamed and stopped Yin Zhu who was about to go back.

Yin Zhu turned around, bowed, and saluted: "I wonder if Noble Fucha has anything else to say?"

Noble Lady Fucha was almost mad at her. She snatched the herbs and even asked her with an innocent look if there was anything else!

"You stole my medicinal herbs and hurt the maids beside me, and you actually want to leave like this?" Noble Lady Fucha pointed at Yin Zhu, "Come here, slap her in the face! Hit her hard, I want her to remember this lesson!"

Who would have thought that Yin Zhu didn't show any fear or anger after hearing this, her tone was still calm, and her attitude could even be described as good: "Your Excellency said that I stole your medicinal materials, but I dare not admit to doing something I didn't do."

"With so many eyes watching you, you still dare not admit it?!" Noble Lady Fucha widened her eyes.

Yin Zhu smiled and looked down at the herbs in her arms. "You are talking about this? My Lord, you must be confused. These are herbs for the Yanxi Palace. I took the herbs for our young master. They have nothing to do with you, my Lord. Or... when did the Emperor grant the Yanxi Palace to you, my Lord, to live alone? I didn't know."

When saying this, Yin Zhu still had a respectful smile on his face.

Noble Lady Fucha was so choked up that she was speechless.

Because she couldn't refute Yin Zhu.

After a pause, as if it was not enough, Yin Zhu exclaimed in a low voice: "Ah, my noble lady, you just said that you wanted to punish me. Are you... the master of Yanxi Palace? Unless you are the master of a palace, others cannot punish other palace maids and eunuchs at will. If I really did something wrong, my young master will punish me. If that doesn't work, there are still the emperor and the empress above. If the emperor and the empress or my young master want to punish me, even if it means that I want to die, it is also in accordance with the rules. My noble lady, what identity and what reason do you want to punish me?"

Noble Lady Fucha had nothing to say, as she indeed had no status or reasons.

If she were the mistress of Yanxi Palace, she would have the right to punish Yin Zhu if she made a mistake, but she was not.

If she had a legitimate and justifiable reason, she was the mistress and Yin Zhu was a servant, and if the servant offended the mistress, she would naturally have the right to punish her, but she didn't have it.

In the end, she could only watch Yin Zhu take the herbs back.

Having lost face in front of An Lingrong and Zhen Huan, Noble Lady Fucha would not let An Lingrong share the herbs just to save face. She immediately gave Bai Yu a look, and Bai Yu and the young eunuch picked up the herbs again and hurriedly followed Noble Lady Fucha back.

No matter what Zhen Huan said, Noble Lady Fucha just wouldn't listen.
