Shen Zhiyao thanked the emperor sweetly and enjoyed the lunch very much.

After lunch, Bo Muxi and Shen Zhiyao "played around" for a while in the daytime, making her so exhausted that she had to hold on to her waist.

Because several ministers were going to come to Changdeok Palace to discuss matters in the afternoon, the emperor let Shen Zhiyao go with reluctance.

After returning to Cuiweixuan, Qiuyue finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Master, we have finally passed another level."

"It can only be considered a temporary solution. Tell the people in Cuiweixuan to stay away from the people in Ningshuangxuan recently and not to provoke them. He is in bad luck now. If you get involved with him, you will get into trouble." Shen Zhiyao warned.

There were some things she didn't want to tell Qiuyue too clearly. Now she could only hope that Concubine Zhao didn't have a miscarriage for no reason. Then she would definitely say that it was because she was angry with her.

"Okay, master, I will tell everyone to stay away from Ningshuangxuan." Qiuyue nodded, with a melancholy still in her eyes.

Shen Zhiyao was good at reading people's expressions, and she saw it at a glance, and then she smiled very freely: "Don't let your imagination run wild. I am too popular now, so I will definitely be framed. However, if I can deal with it, it may not be a bad thing. I am not so weak that I can't even protect myself."

Shen Zhiyao knew that the emperor would never let the eldest daughter of the Shen family bear the crime of immorality for no reason.

The emperor wants to be on guard against the Shen family, but he will not discourage the loyal members of the Shen family for no reason.

"Yes, master. I will adjust my attitude as soon as possible." Qiuyue felt relieved when she saw that she was so confident.

Shen Zhiyao waved her hand: "Okay, go and get busy. You must remember that no one can bully the people of Cuiweixuan. Just do your own things and leave the rest to me."

"The servants have remembered, and please rest assured, the masters, we will definitely protect them even at the risk of our lives!" Chu An was infected by her and was the first to stand up and express his stance.

Everyone hurriedly followed suit, and for a moment they were very enthusiastic. The cohesion of Cuiweixuan was obviously strengthened a lot.

"Okay, go ahead. If anyone is still curious about this, feel free to ask Qiuyue to tell you. But don't take it to heart. Just think of it as a story." Shen Zhiyao said with a smile.

When everyone heard this, they felt relieved and started chattering around Qiuyue.

Shen Zhiyao was very carefree and took a nap in the pavilion for the whole afternoon. She was not woken up until Qiuyue called her to eat dinner.

Just after finishing the meal, Lin En came back. Now that he has been trained by Shen Zhiyao, his physique has become better and better, and he has the demeanor of a eunuch in charge.

"Master, the palace is very lively this afternoon!" Chu An bowed and then reported the news he had heard with a smile.

"Oh? Tell me about it." Shen Zhiyao immediately became excited.

"When you just fell asleep, Eunuch Changfeng of Changde Palace went to Ningshuangxuan to convey the emperor's oral order, ordering Concubine Zhao not to wander around the Imperial Garden during her pregnancy to avoid disturbing the fetus." Chu An said with a smile.

Although he didn't say anything harsh, it was a disguised expression of his attitude.

"Hmph! She deserves it. He told her to do bad things. It's really the Emperor who is wise!" Qiu Ling agreed.

"It's not over yet! No one expected that the Queen Mother would send a scripture to Ningshuangxuan right after that, saying that she was worried that Concubine Zhao could not go to the Imperial Garden to relax, so she could recite the scripture to relieve her boredom." Chu Anxue's description was so vivid that it seemed as if he had personally delivered the scripture to Concubine Zhao.

"Master, tell me, do the Emperor and the Empress really want to punish Concubine Zhao by treating her like this?" Qiuyue asked.

Shen Zhiyao took a sip of white tea, but smiled and shook her head: "No wonder you don't understand. This is an open demotion and a covert protection. The Emperor and the Empress must have sensed something..."

With all the commotion today, I'm afraid the child in Zhao Cairen's belly will really have to endure a tribulation...

That night, Zhao Cairen lay on the bed, stroking her belly constantly, feeling uneasy.

When Die Rou came in to check, she found that she was still sighing, so she stepped forward and tucked the corner of the quilt for her: "Master, don't worry, you are a member of the Zhao family after all, and the Queen Mother will definitely protect you!"

"It's true that they are members of the Zhao family, but in the harem, everyone only wants to have children themselves, and they hope that no one else can give birth!" Concubine Zhao said worriedly.

With what happened today, she ended up losing more than she gained. She regrets it so much!

"Master, let's wait for another two months until the fetus is completely stable, and then we can make long-term plans." Die Rou was unsure, so she could only try to comfort him...

Fortunately, everything went peacefully for several days.

In addition to paying respects to the Queen, Shen Zhiyao would report to Fengyi Palace every afternoon to help the Queen with some chores.

It was during these few days that Shen Zhiyao realized that being the queen of Zhao State was not as easy and wonderful as when she was filming costume dramas. She only had to deal with some minor disputes in the harem and there was nothing to do but eat, drink and have fun.

In the harem, in addition to thousands of concubines of different ranks, there are also tens of thousands of female officials and palace maids. With so many people, there are many things to do. Even if a new palace maid is to be introduced, the queen needs to screen her.

Shen Zhiyao had been following the Queen these past few days and on the one hand had learned some knowledge about managing the harem, on the other hand, she had also cleverly avoided suspicion so that the Zhao family would not continue to "make trouble" with her.

But even when Shen Zhiyao felt that life was peaceful, something unexpected happened.

That evening, just as Shen Zhiyao was about to study some new makeup, she saw Chu An running in in a hurry again.

"Master, master! Something big happened at Ningshuangxuan!" Chu An said breathlessly, obviously having just rushed back after receiving the news.

"What's the matter?" Shen Zhiyao asked after putting away the bronze mirror.

"Talented Lady Zhao had a miscarriage! According to the news coming out of Ningshuangxuan, she had a heavy hemorrhage and now even her mother is in danger! The Emperor and the Empress were alarmed and are now in Ningshuangxuan!" Chu An finally caught his breath.

"I heard that she was very careful these days and hardly went out. How did she miscarry? Have you found out the reason?"

"I heard that Concubine Zhao was feeling depressed and was taking a walk near Ningshuang Pavilion. She happened to run into Qi Baolin, and for some reason, the two of them started arguing. Qi Baolin must have been really angry, and he pushed Concubine Zhao into the tree pit!"

Chu An spoke very quickly, but Shen Zhiyao's mind worked even faster, and she even had a sense of picture.

Ningshuangxuan and Shuningxuan live close to each other, so it is not surprising that they meet.

Qi Baolin has always been a talkative person, otherwise, he wouldn't have had Shu Ningxuan smashed by Shen Zhiyao because of spreading rumors, and was even demoted from a beauty to Baolin by the emperor.

Shen Zhiyao felt that Qi Baolin was having a hard time these days, and seeing that Zhao Cairen was pregnant, the two of them didn't get along well to begin with, so now he was even more disgusted with her.

These two people are both short-tempered, so it is reasonable that such a thing could happen.

But Shen Zhiyao felt a little strange in her heart. Concubine Zhao had been trying hard to behave herself during this period, and Qi Baolin had just been disliked by the emperor, so how could he dare to provoke a pregnant woman from the Zhao family so easily?

Is there some hidden secret here?
