Chapter 80 The Crumbling Noble

"My lady, what Miss Huanbi means is that our words have no weight in front of the emperor now, so we might as well find someone who has weight in front of the emperor to smooth things over, so that my lady Meizhuang's days of house arrest will be easier!" Jinxi tried to smooth things over.

Jingxi's words really calmed Zhen Huan down. Yes, she had not yet been favored by the emperor. Even if she went, what would happen? Those guards would definitely not give her face.

Sister Mei would never do something that would harm others. Someone must have framed her. If I go there now, I will fall into the trap of the person behind the scenes. Sister Mei might even be punished more severely for my abruptness.

Now Sister Mei is still pregnant. Even if the Imperial Observatory says it's a princess, the child hasn't been born yet. Who can be 100% sure?

Sister Mei is only under house arrest and has not been demoted, which shows that the Emperor does not fully believe what the Imperial Observatory said.

What I should do now is to do nothing.

If I could meet the emperor by chance, it would be best if I could naturally receive his favor. At that time, I would also have the opportunity to speak to the emperor.

If she couldn't meet the emperor, she could only rely on Lingrong. However, Lingrong was timid and had a poor family background, so it would be useless to plead for her.

Zhen Huan calmed down, sat back on the couch, and began to think about how to rescue Sister Mei.

Fang Chun noticed that Zhen Huan was not as anxious as before, and asked in a babyish voice, "Sister Wan is not going to see Sister Mei?"

"Let me think about it. When Chun Changzai heard the news today, he was also frightened like me. Xiao Yunzi, you should send Chun Changzai back first."

Xiao Yunzi was already worried about what to do if Chun Chang instigated her and her master was determined to leave.

Hearing Zhen Huan speak, Xiao Yunzi felt relieved and immediately stepped aside, extending her hand to invite Chun Changzai to go first.

"Chun Changzai, please."

The Queen Mother asked her to run to Suiyuxuan to tell Zhen Huan that Shen Meizhuang was under house arrest, and also asked her to lead Zhen Huan to Cunjutang. Now the mission is only half completed, what should she do?

But the situation was difficult to back out of and it was inconvenient for him to stay any longer, so Fang Chunyi had to leave.

After Fang Chunyi left the main hall, Zhen Huan spoke up, "Jinxi, please help me find out where the emperor has been going recently besides the Yangxin Palace. You have been in the palace longer, so it will be easier for you to find out the news than them."

"Yes, I understand. Don't worry, my lady, I will do it."

"Huanbi, ask Doctor Wen to come over and tell him that it's a late spring cold. I've caught a cold."

"Yes." Huanbi turned and left the palace.

"Now, I have not been favored, Sister Mei is under house arrest, Lingrong has been pushed aside by Yu, and Concubine Jing has not been favored for many years. Now there is really no one I can trust to help me."

Zhen Huan expressed her concerns to Jin Xi.

"My Lord forgot someone."

"Who?"

"Hua Fei."

"Empress Hua? This matter concerns the heir to the throne. Would Empress Hua be willing to take the risk and help?"

"Just now, Miss Chun only said that Concubine Shen was under house arrest, but I heard that Concubine Hua rushed to the Yanxi Palace as soon as she heard the news. She had many confrontations with the Queen for Concubine Xin and Concubine Shen. Miss Chun might as well give it a try."

Jinxi was not a talkative person, but she heard the news in the Ministry of Internal Affairs just now and rushed to Suiyuxuan. She didn't expect that Miss Chun had arrived first, so she didn't speak to report.

"There is such a thing. Chun'er didn't explain it in detail just now." Zhen Huan looked at Jin Xi, "In that case, Liuzhu, you should prepare some things later. We will go to Yikun Palace tonight."

"My lady, why not wait a few days. Now that three concubines in the palace have suffered misfortunes one after another, I wonder how many eyes are watching you in secret." Seeing that Zhen Huan was smart and genuine, which was different from Queen Chunyuan's usual weakness, Jin Xi couldn't help but persuade her.

"You are right. Anyway, the emperor will not take back his order now."

After Zhen Huan calmed down completely, she had a clear mind to analyze the pros and cons.

Soon Wen Shichu came with a medicine box.

"My lady, I heard from Miss Huanbi that you have caught a cold?"

"I'm fine, Lord Wen. Huan'er has two requests for help."

"My lady, please speak." Wen Shichu's heart suddenly softened when he heard Zhen Huan call herself "Huan'er".

"First, I need to get better as soon as possible, but I can't let anyone know. Now that Sister Mei is in trouble, I need to show my face in front of the Emperor so that I can help Sister Mei. Do you understand?"

How could Wen Shichu not understand the hint in Zhen Huan's words? He knew that his sister Huan would be favored sooner or later. However, he still felt pain in his heart when he heard such words now.

"Don't worry, my lord. I will do my best to protect you."

"One more thing, Lord Wen, please make sure to take good care of Sister Mei for Huan'er."

"That's as it should be. It's the duty of a doctor to cure illnesses and save lives. Moreover, I have been taking care of Miss Meizhuang's pregnancy. I will be extremely careful."

What happened in the Yanx Palace just now also spread in the Imperial Hospital, so Wen Shichu naturally knew how serious it was.

"Huan'er would like to thank Lord Wen here."

Wen Shichu knelt down and returned the greeting, "This is my humble servant's duty, and I will do my best."

-------------------------------------

After a few more days, the incident of the Emperor reprimanding the two concubines gradually subsided, and Noble Lady Fucha was still trying her best to protect the fetus.

Yu Ying'er was the only one favored for a few more days.

Because An Lingrong was good friends with Concubine Shen, the Emperor wanted to turn over An Lingrong's card several times, but he hesitated and moved his hand to Yu Ying'er's green card.

The atmosphere in the Yanx Palace is not good. With a noble lady who is on the verge of miscarriage at any time and a concubine who is implicated, the Yanx Palace has now become the most unlucky place for the servants.

The gossip inevitably reached An Lingrong's ears, but An Lingrong didn't take it seriously. However, Baojuan kept nagging An Lingrong all day long, advising her to go and ask the Queen for help.

The more Baojuan persuaded her, the more An Lingrong sat still.

An Lingrong was still embroidering the unfinished tiger-head hat with the embroidery frame.

"My lady, why do you need to embroider this hat? Concubine Shen has been confined to her house. Moreover, Concubine Shen is pregnant with a princess. Will the emperor be angry if we embroider this thing again?"

An Lingrong seemed to have turned a deaf ear to her words and continued to embroider. After a while, An Lingrong spoke slowly:

"Baojuan, if one day your master is confined to my house, will you immediately report to the Empress and leave my Yanxi Palace?"
