Yixiu is reborn, fights against her elder sister, and becomes the queen mother

The emperor sneered repeatedly, "General Nian is so powerful that he can even dispatch the imperial physicians at will! How outrageous! How outrageous!"

The emperor exuded an intimidating aura. Seeing this, Yixiu hurriedly led Shen Meizhuang to kneel on the ground.

"Your Majesty, I beg you to calm down."

At this moment, the air fell into deathly silence. Yixiu raised her head slightly and looked towards the emperor, her eyes meeting his.

The emperor stared at Yixiu with a deep gaze, with a hint of coldness and suspicion in his eyes.

The emperor asked tentatively, "Framing the imperial concubines is a serious crime. I wonder how the queen wants to punish you?

Yixiu lowered her head and said calmly, "It is indeed a serious crime to frame the concubines in the harem. However, General Nian is currently leading the troops in battle. If we punish Concubine Hua now, I am afraid it will not be able to stabilize the morale of the army. I think it would be better to think of a foolproof method that can both wake Concubine Hua up and not chill the hearts of the soldiers on the battlefield."

A trace of anger flashed in Shen Meizhuang's eyes. Concubine Hua had framed her time and again, but now she couldn't deal with her because she had a brother who was fighting outside. She really couldn't swallow this.

The Emperor glanced at Shen Meizhuang from the corner of his eye and said in a deep voice, "What the Queen said makes sense. In that case, let's do as the Queen wishes. Concubine Hui is not in a miscarriage, and Concubine Hua is responsible for assisting the six palaces and has failed to supervise. Now, the power of assisting the six palaces will be taken away. The Queen is in good health, so she will continue to manage the affairs of the six palaces."

Yixiu twitched the corner of her lips and said, "I thank the emperor for his grace!"

Liu Bin knelt on the ground and trembled, hoping that the emperor would show leniency to him and spare his life because he had reported General Nian.

"Imperial Physician Liu Bin failed to properly care for Concubine Hui, causing her miscarriage. He has been taken away and ordered to commit suicide!"

Liu Bin was shocked. When he was dragged out by the guards, he kept shouting for mercy, but it was of no use.

Shen Meizhuang knew that things had reached a point where they could not be changed, but she still looked deeply at the emperor, hoping that he could make the decision for her.

The emperor deliberately turned his eyes away and stopped looking at Shen Meizhuang.

He felt a little guilty, so he said gently: "Noble Lady Hui has been wronged this time. Su Peisheng conveys my decree to promote Noble Lady Hui to Concubine Hui."

Shen Meizhuang was promoted to Huipin, but she was not happy at all.

The emperor had to put on a complete show. He even arranged for an imperial physician to pretend to see her and removed her green card, allowing her to rest well.

Zhen Huan came to visit. After she dismissed everyone, she asked Shen Meizhuang, who was lying on the hospital bed, "Sister Mei, has the emperor let this matter go?"

Shen Meizhuang is now a little disappointed with the emperor. Concubine Hua has tried to kill her life time and time again, but the emperor has completely ignored it and protected Concubine Hua. She escaped this time, but what about next time?

She leaned back against the pillow, her tone somewhat sarcastic. "What else can we do if we don't let it go this way? The Emperor has already ordered Liu Bin's death and disposed of the witnesses and evidence for Concubine Hua. Concubine Hua has done so much, yet her authority as assistant to the six palaces has only been revoked."

Zhen Huan knew that Nian Gengyao was fighting in the northwest, and if she dealt with Concubine Hua at this moment, it would definitely be detrimental to the court.

She looked at Shen Meizhuang with some distress and advised, "Your Majesty, you still need to make use of Nian Gengyao, so you naturally cannot touch Concubine Hua. We can support each other in the harem, and life will be better."

Shen Meizhuang gazed into the distance with a melancholy look, and said in a leisurely tone: "Although the imperial family is the most ruthless, I thought I still had a place in the emperor's heart. I didn't expect that in the eyes of the emperor, my life and death are of no importance at all!"

Zhen Huan hesitated for a moment. She didn't know how to comfort Shen Meiyu. She had long seen through the emperor's selfish, cold-hearted, lustful and hypocritical nature, but it was not convenient for her to say such words out loud.

She could only secretly remind him, "The Emperor is the common ruler of the world. He is not the husband of just one of us. Although we are his concubines, he has many concubines. We are just one of his concubines. The Empress and the Emperor have been married for many years. Now it is because of the Crown Prince..."

Shen Meizhuang shook her head and sighed, "I originally thought I could have a child and have someone to rely on in the future. But I'm really tired of this life of intrigue and scheme. Perhaps I shouldn't have come to this deep palace."

Zhen Huan was afraid that Shen Meiyu would continue to think too much, so she changed the topic to comfort her.

…………

After Hua Fei learned the reason for the incident, she was so angry that she beat Zhou Ninghai severely.

"Waste! How did you do things? How did the Queen's people find out? Now look, not only did they fail to get rid of that bitch, they even promoted her to a concubine! The Queen is really capable. She took back the power of assisting the six palaces so quickly. I really underestimated her."

Seeing that his plan failed, Zhou Ninghai offered another one to Concubine Hua.

"Your Highness, please be patient. Although the Emperor knows about this matter, he has only taken away your right to assist in managing the six palaces and has not done anything to you. It is obvious that the Emperor still cares about you. Why don't you go and apologize to the Emperor now? What if the Empress stirs up trouble in front of the Emperor? What will happen then?"

After hearing this, Concubine Hua thought it made sense, so she went to ask for an audience with the emperor, but she didn't expect that the emperor would not see her.

Hua Fei did not give up and went to the emperor to wait for several days, but the emperor never saw her until she returned to the palace.

Concubine Hua was extremely anxious, but there was nothing she could do.

During the time when she was neglected by the emperor, Zhen Huan and An Lingrong were the most favored.

An Lingrong is good at singing and Zhen Huan is good at dancing. The emperor often summons the two of them together and enjoys the best of both worlds.

An Lingrong didn't think there was anything wrong, but Zhen Huan thought the emperor's behavior was disgusting, so she pretended to be sick to avoid sleeping with him.

What the emperor liked was only Zhen Huan's appearance and talent, and he had no real feelings for her. Therefore, he did not care about Zhen Huan's illness and was only interested in An Lingrong.

An Lingrong suddenly became a popular and favored concubine in the harem. Even Noble Lady Fucha, who had a much better background than her, was very polite to An Lingrong.

Although An Lingrong was somewhat self-conscious and sensitive before, now that her status has risen and everyone respects her, she has become much more cheerful.

Although she was favored now, she did not forget her family. Knowing that her mother had a hard time at home, she sent some of the rewards she did not need back home.

An Lingrong's mother was very happy when she knew that her daughter was favored in the palace. She even made some embroidery for her daughter and sent it to the palace.

One day, Baojuan went to pick up the things sent by An Lingrong's family and handed them to her.

Bao Juan smiled and said, "I wonder what good things Madam has sent me this time. The young lady will be happy for a long time."
