Xia Dongchun from Legend of Zhen Huan: I want to live till the last episode

A few days passed like this, and Shen Meizhuang was almost well. Early in the morning, everyone came to pay respects to the Queen. When Concubine Hua saw Shen Meizhuang, she curled her lips and said with a smile, "Is Concubine Shen well? I see why her face is still so pale."

For the first time, Shen Meizhuang stopped forbearing and said coldly: "Thank you for your concern, Empress Hua. I am fine now."

Concubine Hua was not someone who would feel guilty after doing something bad. Seeing Shen Meizhuang like this, she immediately continued to speak, with a hint of sarcasm in her words: "Concubine Shen is really a blessing in disguise. When she fell into the water, the emperor was very concerned about her. He gave her a lot of rewards and visited Concubine Shen several times, right? Others can't even ask for such a blessing."

“Your Majesty, you don’t know. The other day I saw a lot of people standing by the Thousand Carp Pond. I didn’t know what was going on at first, but now I understand. It turns out they were all hoping that I would fall into the pond like Concubine Shen did. Then the Emperor’s favor would follow, right?” Lipin and Hua Fei sang the same tune, as if Shen Meiyu’s fall into the water was a deliberate act to win Yinzhen’s sympathy.

Xia Dongchun glanced at Concubine Hua, then at Concubine Li, and finally her eyes fell on Shen Meiyu's face. Seeing that she still had a cold face, she couldn't help but admire her. She actually dared to turn her face away in front of Concubine Hua.

Noblewoman Borjigit was sitting next to Xia Dongchun. Seeing her looking at Shen Meizhuang, he reached out and tugged at her sleeve inconspicuously, and whispered, "Sister, just take care of ourselves."

Only then did Xia Dongchun look away.

"Okay, who would joke about their own life? Lipin, what you said is too outrageous." The Queen spoke, she frowned and looked at Lipin, "We are sisters in the palace, serving the emperor together, it's ok for you not to expect others to be better, but how can you say such sarcastic words? If the emperor knew, he would be angry."

Only then did Concubine Li restrain herself a little and dared not laugh anymore.

Hua Fei smiled and ridiculed the Queen: "Your Majesty is right. Concubine Shen is young and beautiful. Only those old and ugly women would do anything to keep the Emperor."

The queen's face froze for a moment.

"After hearing what your majesty said, I am really scared." Shen Meizhuang met Hua Fei's gaze, "Everyone grows old and ugly one day. I will go to Baohua Palace to pray for blessings and ask the Bodhisattva to bless me. I hope I can be as young and beautiful as your majesty."

"The Bodhisattva has to bless this and that, how can she handle it all? You should just accumulate virtue and pray for good fortune. You should all learn from Concubine Xia and give birth to children for the Emperor as soon as possible. This is the most important thing." The Queen interrupted the two and turned the conversation to Xia Dongchun, "You are making a lot of noise all day long, what a mess! You are just making fun of us servants."

Everyone's eyes fell on Xia Dongchun following the Queen's words. Xia Dongchun became nervous for a moment, and then thinking of what Yun Ling had said to her, Xia Dongchun lowered her eyes. It was hard not to suspect that the Queen did it on purpose.

Deliberately making her a thorn in the eyes and flesh of everyone in the harem.

The noble lady Borjigit obviously understood this. She glanced at the queen, then quickly looked away and said with a smile, "Your Highness is right. However, this kind of thing is destined by heaven and cannot be changed by human power. You should not be impatient. When I was at home, I heard people mention that the more impatient you are, the more disadvantageous it will be. Just change your mind and you may get it soon."

The queen was silent for a moment. She looked at Noblewoman Borjigit. Although she had a smile on her face, the smile did not reach her eyes. "Look, if everyone in the harem thinks like Noblewoman Borjigit, I can feel much more at ease."

Noblewoman Borjigit knew that the Queen had seen that she was helping Xia Dongchun out, but she was not afraid at all, so she just looked back quietly, saying thank you: "Your Majesty, I am ashamed to accept your praise."

But no matter what, everyone's attention was indeed diverted a lot because of the nobleman Borjigit.

"Come to think of it, haven't Concubine Shen and Concubine Wan always been like sisters?" Concubine Hua was determined to make trouble for Shen Meizhuang today, so her words were interrupted by the Queen and had no effect. Now she came up with another plan, "Why aren't Concubine Wan and Concubine Shen together today?"

"No matter how close the sisters are, they are not as important as the emperor. I heard that Concubine Wan didn't come, but went to accompany the emperor." Lipin spoke again, but she didn't know that her words this time did not hurt Shen Meiyu, but made Concubine Hua glare at her again.

Only then did Lipin realize that her words had also made Huafei unhappy, so she quickly lowered her head and shut her mouth.

"What Hua Fei said is not right," the Queen spoke again. It was not that she really wanted to help Shen Meizhuang, but the Queen could not bear to see Hua Fei being so presumptuous in front of her. "We are all in the palace together, and serving the Emperor is the most important thing."

"I think that only an old and ugly woman would be eager to let a young and beautiful woman serve the emperor on her behalf." When Hua Fei mentioned this again, she almost stepped on the Queen's face.

The queen's expression changed immediately.

The rest of the people looked at the two of them and didn't dare to say anything.

Finally, Jiang Fuhai came in and said, "Your Majesty, it's time to pay respects to the Queen Mother."

This is how the Queen was rescued.

"Okay, I'm going to pay my respects to the Queen Mother. You all can go back." The Queen stood up, her face cold and no longer smiling.

"Yes, I'll take my leave." The witnesses bowed and left one after another.

But at this time, Suiyuxuan was actually not peaceful.

Two days ago, there was a problem with the medicine that Zhen Huan had been taking. Today, it was time to take the medicine again, and Huanbi poured out a bowl of medicine.

Xiao Yunzi bent over and stood guard: "The servants have been guarding outside. Pei'er has been watching the medicine being boiled. No one else is approaching."

Only after Xiao Yunzi finished speaking did Huanbi feel at ease and hand the medicine to Zhen Huan.

Zhen Huan took a sip and quickly spat it out, frowning slightly: "This medicine is still sour, or it was drugged."

Xiao Yunzi hurried forward and brought the medicine over to check.

Jin Xi and Huan Bi Liu Zhu saluted together and said, "Please forgive me, my lady. It was all due to our negligence."

"It's not entirely your fault. The medicine was put in right under your noses without being discovered, and no one approached the medicine jar. There must be something strange about this." Zhen Huan frowned, thinking carefully in her heart.

Just as she was thinking, Zhen Huan looked up and found Xiao Yunzi holding the medicine jar and examining it carefully. She couldn't help but ask, "Xiao Yunzi, what are you looking at?"

Xiao Yunzi held the medicine jar and answered, "I was thinking, if someone didn't personally put the medicine in, could there be something wrong with the jar?"

This sentence was like a wake-up call. Zhen Huan stretched out her hand and said, "Give it here, let me have a look."

Xiao Yunzi quickly handed the medicine bottle back.

Liu Zhu complained on the side: "I don't know who would want to harm our young master like this."

"Who said it wasn't? If this person is found, we must report it to the emperor and empress, and let them punish him severely!" Huanbi said angrily.
