At first, Concubine Hua did not think there was any risk in punishing Zhen Huan by making her kneel. She had already asked the imperial physician, who told her that Zhen Huan's pregnancy had already passed the first three months, so kneeling for an hour and a half was not a big deal. What's more, she only made Zhen Huan kneel for less than an hour.

She also heard that when the concubine was disrespectful to Empress Chunyuan in the palace, she was punished by Empress Chunyuan to kneel for two hours before she had a miscarriage. She only let Zhen Huan kneel for one hour, so there must be no problem.

However, after Prince Guo broke into the Yikun Palace and took Zhen Huan away, Songzhi discovered the pool of blood on the ground and realized that something serious was going to happen.

At first she thought of her own miscarriage, when there was a pool of bright red blood on the ground. Later she thought that if Zhen Huan's child was not saved, the emperor would definitely blame her when he returned.

After all, the incident with Noble Lady Fucha had just happened. If Zhen Huan lost her child soon after, even if it was not her fault, the Emperor would definitely be furious and take his anger out on her!

For a moment, Concubine Hua no longer had the intention to keep anyone else, and asked them all to go back, leaving only Concubine Cao.

"Why don't you know how to persuade me?!" After a moment of silence, Concubine Hua skillfully vented her anger on Concubine Cao and asked her harshly, "You just watched me make her kneel for so long!"

Concubine Cao was very embarrassed: "I said it at the time, but Your Majesty...didn't listen to it."

"Can't you give me a few more words of advice?" How could Concubine Hua listen to her excuses? "And that bitch Wanpin is the same. She felt uncomfortable, but why didn't she tell me?!"

"Wanpin explained it repeatedly at that time, but Her Majesty didn't believe it." Concubine Cao reminded Concubine Hua in a low voice.

"How do I know if she is real or fake?" Concubine Hua glared at her, but she was already a little bit timid. "I am not wrong. When the emperor comes back, I will find out the truth."

"Whether the queen is wrong or not is not important, what is important is how the emperor sees it." Cao Guiren knew that she still had to rely on Hua Fei at this time, so she could only accept her fate and give her advice, "I heard that Prince Guo rushed out of the palace as soon as he came out of Sui Yuxuan. When the emperor comes back, he will be furious and will only investigate who made Wanpin become like this."

"Why don't you think of a solution for me? What's the point of just saying these things here?!" Concubine Hua looked at Concubine Cao impatiently. She was full of annoyance and grabbed the teacup at hand and smashed it out.

Concubine Cao immediately knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, something's wrong." At this time, Zhou Ninghai ran in, "The Emperor's carriage has arrived outside the Qianqing Gate."

Hua Fei lost her strength immediately and murmured, "So fast...how could it be so fast?"

Songzhi was the first to react. She stepped forward and helped Concubine Cao up: "Concubine, good Concubine, the queen didn't mean to be angry with you. Concubine, please think of a solution for the queen."

Hua Fei also looked at Concubine Cao, and Concubine Cao spoke up: "For now, the most important thing is for you to admit your mistakes to the Emperor and calm his anger."

"Admit your fault? I did nothing wrong, why should I admit it?" Hua Fei's eyes were moist, but she was still stubborn. She didn't think she was wrong, she just thought it was Zhen Huan herself who was useless. She didn't mean to make Zhen Huan miscarry. "It was her own weakness that made her faint after kneeling for less than an hour. What does this have to do with me?"

"It doesn't matter whether Your Majesty is wrong or not. What matters is to calm the Emperor's anger first." Concubine Cao just felt a headache. She was asked to give advice, but she was unwilling to listen after the advice was given.

"..." Concubine Hua didn't say anything else, and it seemed that she agreed.

Xia Dongchun did not go to Suiyuxuan. Since she was still under house arrest, she just sent someone to deliver some supplements as a token of sympathy.

Later, it was heard that Yinzhen was very angry. Not only did he severely reprimand Hua Fei, but he also changed her position from Hua Fei to Nian Fei again.

It can be said that this title and the power to assist in managing the six palaces were handed over before they had even warmed up to him.

But when Xia Dongchun went to pay his respects to the Queen the next day, he could no longer laugh.

"I only found out that you were pregnant after I left the palace. The emperor cherishes you and deliberately protected you under the pretext of confinement. It can be seen that the emperor has you in his heart." The queen smiled gently, "Such a blessing is something that others can't even ask for."

With just one sentence, everyone looked at him with different expressions.

Xia Dongchun faked a smile: "Your Majesty's intention, I dare not speculate casually, and I only found out that the Majesty agreed afterwards. However, the Majesty treats all sisters equally well. If other sisters were pregnant, I am sure that the Majesty and the Empress would also care about them. I am just lucky. Because I am pregnant, the Majesty and the Empress have given me extra care. I am unworthy of it."

"It's a pity for Wanpin. She doesn't have the good fortune like you." The Queen said with pity, and shook her head, "You didn't go to Suiyuxuan last night. I wonder how sad Wanpin was."

"I was under house arrest last night. Although I was worried about Concubine Wan, I dared not disobey the Majesty's will. I hope the Empress will forgive me." Xia Dongchun responded.

"How could I blame you for this?" The Queen smiled. "After all, the culprit of this matter lies entirely with Concubine Nian. You should all take this as a warning and not cause any more trouble."

The concubines stood up and said, "Thank you, Queen, for your teachings. We will keep them in mind and will never dare to violate them."

After paying respects at Jingren Palace, Noble Lady Fucha's face was still pale, but it was covered with powder, so it was not clear. She stepped forward quickly and stopped Xia Dongchun: "Noble Lady Zhao is so lucky. You are pregnant just after my child with Wanpin was born. How can such a coincidence happen in this world? Could it be that... your child killed my and Wanpin's child?"

Since losing the child, Noble Lady Fucha has been recuperating in the palace for more than half a month. The more she thought about it, the more she couldn't get over it. As a result, Xia Dongchun is pregnant again.

She was worried that if Yinzhen was happy, Xia Dongchun would take away her position as the head of the Yanxi Palace.

"Noble Lady Fucha, this is in the palace. If the emperor hears you saying this, he will definitely be angry." Yun Ling stood in front of Xia Dongchun, separating Noble Lady Fucha from her, to prevent Noble Lady Fucha from suddenly going crazy and doing something.

Noble Lady Fucha looked back and saw that the other concubines were already looking over here. Even though she was unwilling, she could only stamp her feet, glare at Xia Dongchun fiercely, and leave first.

After all, there is plenty of time to waste, so it doesn't matter if you waste a moment.
