Everyone in Concubine Hua's team knew that Concubine Cao used the same method she had used to poison Zhen Huan in her previous life to harm Concubine Duan, and the medicine was obtained by Concubine Li.

Although An Lingrong kept saying that she wanted Zhen Huan to look good, her real motivation was to follow Cao Qinmo and divert Concubine Hua's attention away from Zhen Huan.

"Your Majesty, what Concubine Cao said makes sense. After letting Concubine Duan live for so long, it's time to send her to death. We can then say that it was Zhen Huan who brought bad luck, so once she is favored, she will bring bad luck to Concubine Duan. This way, we can kill two birds with one stone."

Concubine Hua actually knew that it was not a good time for her to target Zhen Huan, but she just couldn't bear to see the emperor caring so much about Zhen Huan. Now that her two think tanks said so, and even if Jia Changzai's plan could not seriously injure Zhen Huan, it could at least annoy her, Concubine Hua was somewhat satisfied.

"Then let's do as you say. I heard that after the little Yunzi from Suiyuxuan was sent back to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the people serving Wanchang have not been fully replaced. Kang Luhai, who is beside Lipin, once served Concubine Duan, and he came from Suiyuxuan. I think he must have some outstanding qualities to be liked by so many masters. Wanchang is in a hot position right now, so we might as well do a good deed and send him and his two apprentices back to Suiyuxuan."

Lipin was indifferent to Kang Luhai, but she didn't understand what Hua Fei meant: "Your Majesty means that we let Kang Luhai and others act as our internal support?"

Concubine Hua rolled her eyes speechlessly.

An Lingrong kindly explained to her: "Sister Lipin, have you forgotten why Kang Luhai came to you? He found another master when he saw that Wan Chang was not favored. If such a disloyal servant returns to Sui Yuxuan, he will not know who to be loyal to. Your Majesty is really just kind-hearted and sees that Wan Chang is in need of servants." The implication is that she just wants to annoy her. Kang Luhai is already a useless chess piece.

Lipin finally understood. She smiled awkwardly and said, "Your Majesty is wise."

The Kang Luhai matter was An Lingrong's idea.

Although Kang Luhai had not yet attempted to return to Suiyuxuan, An Lingrong never dared to underestimate anyone, even if they were a seemingly insignificant little person. But who knew that if she offended them, she would be severely cheated one day? On the contrary, using these little people well could also have miraculous effects.

An Lingrong actually had a deeper purpose in asking Kang Luhai and the others to return to Suiyuxuan. Among those present, Cao Qinmo was probably the only one who could guess what this purpose was.

This was actually inspired by Ju Qing, who was sent by Zhen Huan in his previous life.

The palace has strict rules and regulations. No one had thought about this before. But now with the example of Zhen Huan being punished, all the palaces will keep an eye on whether others have crossed the line, especially Zhen Huan. After all, she was the one who started this mistake, wasn't she?

The number of palace maids and eunuchs who were always there was limited. After Kang Luhai went to Sui Yu Xuan, he was still the chief eunuch, and his two apprentices naturally became the ones who served Zhen Huan.

There can only be three ordinary eunuchs and three palace maids in the Changzai. The palace maids around Zhen Huan now are Liu Zhu, Huan Bi and Pei Er, and the palace maids are full.

Among the eunuchs, Xiao Yunzi, who had received Zhen Huan's kindness, was loyal to her and had some knowledge of martial arts, left, leaving behind the one Zhen Huan herself couldn't even name and wasn't familiar with. Add in Kang Luhai's two apprentices, and the roster was full.

A full staff is good. Kang Luhai was once a man who defected to another master, so Zhen Huan would definitely not trust him and his apprentice. Unless they were promoted, with them around, Zhen Huan would only have the three maids to use.

Pei'er is impetuous, Huanbi is arrogant, and Liuzhu is reckless. Without Cui Jinxi, who is well-informed in the palace and has her own bootlicker Su Peisheng, how can Zhen Huan survive?

What? You mean Zhen Huan couldn't just send Kang Luhai and the others away?

This was instructed by Concubine Hua, and Concubine Li personally sent it to Zhen Huan with her name. Just like Ju Qing who was by her side at the beginning, only when Zhen Huan was no longer in the palace could she make a move to deal with her.

Not everyone is Concubine Hua, who can openly punish the child born by the Queen.

After Zhen Huan was favored for seven days, almost everyone in the harem was paying attention to whether the emperor would go to Sui Yuxuan again tonight.

An Lingrong was also very curious, because this night in her previous life was extremely lively.

First there was the famous scene where Concubine Qi said “How charming you are!”, and then there was Zhen Huan staying up late at night to play the song “Lament of Xiang Fei”.

Shen Meizhuang was so smart that she had the audacity to go out and watch the fish by herself after being forced to copy books for a long time in the middle of the night by Concubine Hua under the pretext of teaching her.

Wasn't this what Zhou Ninghai kicked him into the Thousand Carp Pond to see for himself?

If An Lingrong were to say that Concubine Hua was really just a paper tiger who only knew how to scare Shen Meiyu and show off her power, if it were her, she would either not take action at all, or if she did, she would definitely not leave anyone alive.

As the ancient poem says, "Wildfires cannot burn it all; it will grow again with the spring breeze."

In her previous life, wasn’t Concubine Hua sent away by the “Jade Pavilion burned to pieces” incident by Shen Meiyu and Zhen Huan?

As everyone in the harem waited anxiously, the night finally fell.

I don’t know if it was because Zhen Huan didn’t persuade the emperor like in the TV series or what, but the emperor still responded to Zhen Huan’s call.

An Lingrong was a little curious. Logically speaking, Zhen Huan should know the resentment of the concubines in the six palaces.

Concubine Hua did not go to pay respects because she was pregnant, but everyone else went as usual.

When paying respects these days, it wasn't just Concubine Qi, Concubine Li and Xia Dongchun who made sarcastic remarks to Zhen Huan, everyone else also made more or less sarcastic remarks.

Of course Zhen Huan knew it, she was not deaf or blind. She did it on purpose.

As soon as the emperor arrived, her treatment improved a lot, and the chief steward of the Imperial Household Department even came personally to apologize.

So what if she is a distant relative of Concubine Hua? As long as the emperor loves her, everything else is not a problem.

Although Zhen Huan was not taken care of by the Queen for a few days, she was already a little PTSD by this experience. It was enough to experience such a day once. The more Zhen Huan was afraid of returning to such a day, the more she was afraid of falling out of favor.

She no longer had the confidence and composure of her previous life. As long as the emperor came, Zhen Huan would not refuse. She would not act like the virtuous concubine in her previous life and persuade the emperor to go to other people's palaces.

Although Shen Meizhuang was jealous of the emperor's favor towards Zhen Huan, she had also suffered a lot when Concubine Hua was not pregnant. She knew that being the one who is loved by everyone in the palace also means being envied by everyone.

She wanted to advise Zhen Huan not to attract too much attention, but she was afraid that Zhen Huan would think that she was jealous of her. She also thought that Concubine Hua was now in Yikun Palace to take care of her pregnancy and would not come out easily, and the Queen was kind and generous, so she simply did not mention it.

On the eighth night, Zhen Huan was still in the emperor's bedchamber. On the ninth night, and the... half a month had passed. The Queen could hardly hold back the smile on her face. Concubine Duan was gone.
