The Destiny of Going to Hell

Cao Qinmo's method can, firstly, clear Concubine Hua's name, secondly, stir up the Emperor's suspicion towards Shen Meiyu, and thirdly, reduce the number of rivals that Wen Yi has to compete for the Emperor's favor.

Even though Concubine Hua's dirty water was not washed so cleanly, Shen Meizhuang did not get any benefits and even got herself into trouble.

If I, who helped Shen Meizhuang, also became suspicious of her, then Shen Meizhuang would offend me, after all, I would become her pawn.

Cao Qinmo is really smart. Of course, without Zhen Huan's intervention, everything would not have gone so smoothly.

All I can say is that two smart people teamed up to achieve amazing results. This matter is true and false, like a fog, and there are probably many people who believe it.

Yinzhen stopped outside the door, wondering if it was really Shen Meizhuang who set up this trap. Or maybe she was just playing it against the enemy, attacking the person who wanted to frame her and gaining her care.

How could a mother not know whether she was really pregnant or just pretending to be pregnant? When Jiang Shen said that she had no pulse, she refuted, but now it seemed that besides being angry, she was more guilty.

And since Fuling has admitted that there was something wrong with what she did, there must be someone behind it. Maybe Shen Meizhuang killed her to completely clear herself of the matter.

Since Jiang Shen is Nian Shilan's man, why should she do this?

Smart people tend to think a lot.

As a result, Yinzhen also began to waver, sometimes thinking it was Nian Shilan, sometimes thinking it was Shen Meizhuang.

No matter who it is, with Jiang Shen and Nian Shilan around, they will not escape punishment. As for Shen Meizhuang, there is no evidence, but that does not stop Yinzhen from suspecting and hating her. I'm afraid he won't be very happy about the child.

Yinzhen walked into the hall, and Zhuiyun Zhuyue immediately knelt down, "I am very busy, but Xian'er is being lazy and chatting with the maids."

Zhuyue was sweating profusely. Meng Jingxian's hand climbed onto Yinzi's shoulder. "Your Majesty is the ruler of the world. Xian'er is just a rich and idle person. Of course, she doesn't have the worries that your Majesty has."

The emperor raised his hand and asked the two to go down. Zhuyue hurriedly pulled Zhuiyun away, fearing that she would be angered by Yinzhen.

"What does Xian'er think of the rumors in the palace?"

Yinzhen picked up the "Ancient Mirror Record" next to Meng Jingxian, flipping through it while listening to Meng Jingxian's answer, "I have only one thought in my mind. If Huipin really directed and acted to use me, then I will never talk to her again."

Yinzhen listened to Meng Jingxian's childish words and calmed down a little. "That's it? I thought you wanted me to punish her severely."

Meng Jingxian clenched her fist and gently hit Yinzhen, "I will not make trouble unreasonably. Besides, the emperor is still investigating. Compared with rumors, I believe the emperor's future investigation results more."

Meng Jingxian's eyes were full of trust in Yinzhen, which made Yinzhen laugh.

After some time passed, there was still no trace of Liu Bin. Yinzhen finally determined that Nian Shilan was suspected of covering up Jiang Shen's medical skills on the grounds that Jiang Shen was Nian Shilan's man. Jiang Shen was suspected of murdering the royal heir, so Nian Shilan was demoted to a concubine, copied the palace rules a hundred times, and was fined one year's salary.

When Shen Meizhuang heard that Nian Shilan had framed her and was only demoted, she was so angry that her eyes turned red. She, Nian Shilan, was so arrogant, and the only punishment she received for committing a serious crime was demotion, salary fine, and making her copy palace rules, which was not considered a punishment.

Isn't Nian Shilan relying on having a good brother? If her father and brother were capable, they would be afraid of Nian Shilan!

Shen Meizhuang was so angry that her fetus moved in Xianyue Pavilion. She quickly called the imperial physician. She hated it so much!

Yinzhen did not come to visit her during these days, but visited Concubine Xuan more often. Caiyue also told her about those messages, and she thought they were just nonsense at the time.

But Yinzhen never came to see her and the child once, so she understood that Yinzhen had also become suspicious of her.

Tears rolled down from the corners of Shen Meizhuang's eyes. She and her child were wrongly accused, the murderer was still alive and well, and she was despised by Yinzhen. This palace was really dirty.

Zhen Huan was laughing happily in Bitong Academy. Wasn't Concubine Hua arrogant? No matter how arrogant she was, she was still demoted. It was a good demotion. Let's see if she can punish herself again.

As for Shen Meizhuang, huh, she's shameless. It's not like I haven't spoken up for her before. Are you stupid enough to drag me down with her?

So when she heard the rumors about her, she added fuel to the fire.

Isn't it true that Shen Meizhuang was the victim, but Yinzhen hadn't visited her recently? This was what she, Shen Meizhuang, deserved. If she was willing to see him, there wouldn't be any current situation.

Zhen Huan was eating lotus root powder and osmanthus sugar cake, feeling quite happy.

Because Meng Jingxian was not feeling well, she was rarely favored by the emperor. Most of the rest of her time she was in love with Zhen Huan, and she was rewarded constantly.

For the remaining days, An Lingrong will have more time, and the others will share equally.

Therefore, Zhen Huan was very pleased with herself, thinking that she was worthy of being the female Zhuge Liang, with both talent and beauty, and even the emperor was very fond of her.

She looked in the direction of Huanbi again. A concubine is a criminal who is of low status and cannot be shown in public. Yinzhen has never mentioned Huanbi in all these days.

As the weather grew colder, the group returned to the imperial palace from the Old Summer Palace.

Nian Shilan was released from house arrest, but she was unwilling to go out and see people as she felt ashamed.

She only talked with Cao Qinmo, Xia Dongchun and Lipin when she got together. She was really angry. She failed to gain the power in the palace and lost her position as a concubine.

Fortunately, that bitch Shen Meizhuang didn't get any good results. So what if she was pregnant? She still wasn't liked by Yinzhen.

The Queen Mother was reluctant to remove the baby in Concubine Xuan's belly, and Yixiu's patience was gradually running out.

When the frost was falling, a very serious epidemic spread in the palace.

This disease was introduced from outside the palace, probably due to infection by foul air. Initially, only the palace maids and eunuchs who did odd jobs were infected because they had contact with family members outside the palace.

The patient initially had a headache, then developed fever, swelling, pain, and constant delirium. Everyone thought it was just a cold.

But later on, one person's illness spread to the whole room, and one room's illness spread to the whole palace.

Everyone just realized what was happening and started burning mugwort leaves all over the palace to drive away the plague. Suddenly everyone was in danger.

In the previous dynasty, Yinzhen was busy summoning imperial physicians, discussing effective remedies with ministers, and arranging personnel to set up points outside the palace to deal with the epidemic. The empress dowager took Yixiu and the childless concubines in the harem to burn incense and pray in the Baohua Hall.

Since the epidemic was confirmed, Yixiu has had a lot to do. Not only does she have to mediate in the harem, but she also has to order concubines with children to stop traveling to avoid infecting the royal heir.

Meng Jingxian also burned mugwort and atractylodes in the palace, and spread liquor and vinegar everywhere to drive away the plague. She herself was not afraid, but the eunuchs and maids in the palace were afraid. In order to avoid fear in everyone, she still took measures.

Under Yixiu's arrangement, palace servants burned mugwort leaves in the palace three times a day. No one was allowed to enter or leave at other times to avoid crowded places and increased risk of infection.

Yixiu had no intention of doing anything about the epidemic, after all, she was the queen, the mother of a country. But when she learned that there was a eunuch who died of the epidemic in Hua Fei's palace, she thought about it and came up with an idea.

She planned to take the tea set used by the little eunuch when he was alive and give it to Shen Meizhuang and Fucha. On the one hand, she wanted to get rid of the two dragon fetuses, and on the other hand, she could put the blame on Nian Shilan. After all, she and Shen Meizhuang had a deep grudge.

As for Concubine Xuan, who knows how she got the epidemic? At worst, we can blame it on Nian Shilan, it was just an accidental injury.

She believed that if she arranged things properly, the epidemic would not spread. No matter what means she used, as long as she could achieve the results she needed, what did it matter if the means were a little dirty?
