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

In the evening, after the young eunuch saw Wen Shichu return to the Imperial Hospital, he brought the news to Xiudong.

Xiudong didn't sleep all night and went to check the situation in Xianfu Palace and the Imperial Hospital before she came to the conclusion.

Xianfu Palace was fine at first, but Caiyue called for a bucket of water and announced to the outside world that her master was drunk and vomited all over herself and needed to wash up.

Wen Shichu from the Imperial Hospital also looked strange, which made Xiudong certain that the two of them must have had an affair. That's why.

“Your Majesty…”

But Yixiu didn't say anything, so Xiudong asked.

This matter is indeed a huge royal scandal, and it must be kept secret.

Wen Shichu's father, Doctor Wen, came to him for refuge and handled many things for him over the years. Even if he had no credit, he had worked hard. He was also involved in the poisoning of the emperor.

This matter is so complex that if one move is wrong, the whole game will be lost.

Another point is that Shen Meizhuang's father, Shen Zishan, has already defected to the prince's party. Extramarital affair among concubines is a serious crime. If the emperor finds out, Shen Meizhuang and Wen Shichu will definitely die, and even the Wen and Shen families will be executed.

"No one can know about this. Has everything been dealt with?"

A look of determination flashed across Yixiu's eyes. This matter must be resolved quickly. Doctor Wen was also involved in her plan to poison the emperor. This plan had been implemented for the most part, and she must not fail.

Yixiu asked Doctor Wen a few days ago, the emperor still has more than half a year to live, and the matter of Shen Meizhuang must be resolved quickly!

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty. I have already asked my men to clean up these traces for them, but I have also left some evidence for Your Majesty's consideration."

Yixiu believed in Xiudong's methods. She nodded and her expression returned to her usual calmness.

"Let's leave it at that for now. No one can know about this. Once anyone is involved in this or is implicated, let's resolve it."

I'm afraid that the two of them were so passionate that night that they were not prepared at all. If they left some tricky evidence, it would be troublesome.

Xianfu Palace

Doctor Wen looked extremely flustered. He first made an excuse to let Shen Meizhuang leave, then he said:

"Empress Hui, something bad has happened. The imperial physician who was on duty with me that day suddenly died. Could it be..."

Shen Meizhuang was stunned for a moment and asked nervously, "Could it be just a coincidence?"

Wen Shichu lowered his head, his voice growing weaker, "I went to inquire about some of the guards and palace maids who saw me returning that day. Some of them went home, some drowned in the well, and some offended the steward and died or left. This..."

Shen Meizhuang's mind worked faster than Wen Shichu's. When she calmed down, she guessed that the person behind this must have wanted to help her and Wen Shichu erase the traces.

That means this person won't tell anyone about this, so the two of them are still safe.

"Don't be afraid. What happened that night was my fault. It has nothing to do with you. The person behind this probably doesn't intend to tell anyone about this."

Wen Shichu raised his eyes and grabbed Shen Meizhuang's hand with the courage he didn't know where he got from.

"My Lady, the wine we drank that day wasn't enough to arouse my emotions. I..."

The two people looked at each other, their eyes filled with affection for each other.

"Who do you think did it?"

Shen Meizhuang said.

Wen Shichu thought about it carefully, and said with some hesitation: "In this harem, who can have such great means, and who knows about this and wants to cover up the traces, now I think there is only..."

"The Empress. It must be the Empress. Yes, the Shen and Wen families must have sided with the Crown Prince. If this matter of ours gets out, it will definitely affect the Empress and the Crown Prince."

Shen Meizhuang said.

Wen Shichu finally showed some manliness. His face changed, and he stood up with determination and said to Shen Meizhuang:

"The Empress has handled all of this for us, but she hasn't asked us to come. She's waiting for us to come. I'll go and see the Empress soon. Whether she lives or dies, I'll take care of everything."

"No, even if it means death, I will die with you."

Shen Meizhuang looked straight at Wen Shichu and said.

It was almost inevitable that the crown prince would ascend the throne, but since his family had already pledged allegiance to the crown prince, his role in the palace would be minimal.

Wen Shichu and Shen Meizhuang discussed it and decided to let Shen Meizhuang take a drug that would cause her to fake her death and then quietly send her out of the palace so that they could stay together forever and no longer have to worry about it every day.

But to do all this, one has to ask the Queen for help. After all, the death of a concubine is a big deal. Without the Queen's cooperation, I'm afraid this matter will be difficult to accomplish.

Gyeongin Palace

Wen Shichu knelt solemnly in front of Yixiu and said directly:

"I deeply thank the Empress for saving my life. I cannot repay your kindness. I will do my utmost to obey your orders."

Seeing that he had come straight to the point, Yixiu didn't beat around the bush and said directly:

"It seems that you and Shen Meizhuang are not so stupid. You two are really brave. You dare to do such a calamity that will bring disaster to your entire clan right under my nose."

Wen Shichu kowtowed quickly and said, "It's all because of my own audacity. It has nothing to do with Concubine Hui. If the Empress wants to kill or beat you, just come after me."

Yixiu chuckled sarcastically, "I never thought that Imperial Physician Wen was such a responsible man, but haven't you always been in love with Concubine Wan? And it seems your father even asked me to arrange an excellent marriage for you. Are you doing this for your wife?"

Wen Shichu quickly explained, "Your Majesty, I have known Concubine Wan since childhood. We are childhood sweethearts. Before she entered the palace, I did have some special feelings for her, but after she entered the palace, we became like brother and sister."

As for my wife, please forgive me, Your Majesty. My wife doesn't like me. We already reached an agreement privately. We are just a couple in name only."

As Wen Shichu spoke, he quietly looked up to see Yixiu's expression. No matter what, his marriage with Zhou Xiuniang was indeed arranged by Yixiu, so this was undoubtedly a slap in Yixiu's face.

"How is this going?"

Yixiu asked.

Isn't it said that the Zhou family's daughter is the most gentle and virtuous? What do you think of Wen Shichu's intentions? The two of them seem to have a strange relationship behind the scenes.

"The rumors outside may not be true. On our wedding night, Miss Zhou told me directly that she did not really want to marry me. She was willing to give me 30% of her dowry in exchange for a divorce. I didn't want this marriage in the first place, and I didn't want to be forced, so I agreed."
