Zhen Huan felt a pang in her heart, but she pretended to be nonchalant and joked.

"Sister Mei, I think what I said was right. The emperor will see your good side one day."

"Huan'er, how come you're the one making fun of your sister? Didn't the emperor also send someone to take care of Sui Yuxuan?"

Shen Meizhuang just said it casually, but it became a harsh contrast to Zhen Huan's ears.

During her confinement, the emperor never set foot in Suiyuxuan, but he almost trampled the threshold of Chuxiu Palace.

This is what Huanbi said when she went to see her.

Zhen Huan lowered her head to show her embarrassment, and then began to praise the two pots of golden chrysanthemums on the table.

"Sister Mei, the delicate petals on the slender green leaves droop outwards, just like a graceful beauty. It's so beautiful!"

As she spoke, she moved closer to take a closer look, as if she wanted to smell the fragrance of the chrysanthemums.

"If Huan'er likes it, I'll give you one."

"Sister Mei, this is a gift from the Emperor. How can I take someone else's love away from you?"

"Huan'er is very satisfied with the lotus root starch and osmanthus sugar cake prepared by my sister."

Zhen Huan's smile deepened as she looked at the plate Caixing brought in.

It seems that Sister Mei didn't take her unintentional action on the day of her miscarriage to heart.

"Okay, I know you love this, so go and fill your stomach."

Shen Meizhuang happily pulled Zhen Huan onto the bed.

"Caiyue, quickly bring over the Lu'an tea that Huan'er likes."

"Your Majesty, I'll go right away."

Caiyue gave Caixing a warning look when she went out.

Only after entering the small kitchen did she start scolding with a fierce face.

"Cai Xing, there are outsiders in the main hall. Who are you showing your stern face to?"

"If you have any dissatisfaction, you can tell the master in private, but you must not lose the etiquette of our Chuxiu Palace in front of outsiders."

Caixing's eyes instantly turned red.

"Sister Caiyue, I feel sorry for my master."

"Look, Wanpin spoke nicely in Jingren Palace, but the three masters and servants came empty-handed. It's obvious that Wanpin wanted to play nice in front of the Empress, and came to our Chuxiu Palace on a whim."

Caiyue patted her shoulder to comfort her.

"Cai Xing, you have to know that the master and Wanpin have been friends since childhood. All we can do is to persuade them privately, and then make other plans after the lady enters the palace."

"The master is pregnant with a dragon fetus, so don't show it too obviously, so as not to affect the master's mood."

"I'll go serve tea to the masters. You can rest in the small kitchen for a while."

"Okay, I'll listen to Sister Caiyue. The master loves yam and jujube paste cakes, so I'll prepare the ingredients first."

Seeing that the two masters in the main hall were talking happily, Caiyue left the room with a smile and moved closer to Liuzhu.

"Sister Liuzhu, why can't I see Aunt Jinxi?"

"I recently made a new kind of pastry and I want you to try it."

Liu Zhu was about to shake her head when Cui Jinxi, who came with a package in her hand, smiled and spoke.

"Thank you Miss Caiyue for your concern. We will be in for a treat."

Zhen Huan in the main hall saw Cui Jinxi and quickly called her in.

"Sister Mei, I was deeply shocked that day and accidentally bumped into you in my grief."

"Afterwards, when I heard Aunt Jinxi talk about it, I couldn't eat every time I thought about it."

"Luckily, my elder sister is fine, otherwise my younger sister would have been restless for the rest of her life."

As Zhen Huan spoke, she bowed deeply to Shen Meiyu to express her deep apology.

"Huan'er, I know you're a good person and I've never taken this matter to heart."

Shen Meizhuang, with a more sincere smile, helped the man up and pushed him back onto the couch.

"Thank you for your understanding, Sister Mei. I stayed up all night to make two sets of doll clothes. I hope you don't mind."

She took the package handed to her by Cui Jinxi and spread it out on the small table.

The bright red festive dress pleased Shen Meizhuang very much.

"Huan'er is really thoughtful. Sister didn't even think of preparing clothes for the little baby."

"Sister, take care of the baby first. You can leave these small things like clothes to me."

She only needed to give her a few stitches in obvious places, and it wouldn't take long.

The topic then shifted to Shen Meizhuang's dragon fetus, and the experienced Zhen Huan taught her many tips.

"Huan'er, now that you've recovered, you should get married soon. It would be wonderful if our children could grow up together."

Shen Meizhuang wanted their child to continue the friendship between the two sisters.

"Sister Mei, my sister is not ready yet."

After Zhen Huan finished speaking, she looked around vigilantly.

"Sister, Huan'er has something to tell you from the bottom of her heart. Concubine Hua has attacked you time and again in the past. You must pay attention to the Yikun Palace."

Shen Meizhuang grabbed Zhen Huan's hand and asked anxiously.

"Huan'er, is your miscarriage related to Concubine Hua?"

Zhen Huan shook her head.

"Han'er's miscarriage was caused by a fall due to shock."

"Sister, think about the pain you once suffered from drowning. You must be careful of Concubine Hua."

It would have been better if Zhen Huan didn't mention it, but when she did, she recalled the feeling of suffocation when she was struggling in the Thousand Carp Pond.

Shen Meizhuang, with a pale face, nodded continuously.

"Thank you, Huan'er, for reminding me. I will definitely be on the lookout for the Yikun Palace."

Seeing that her goal had been achieved, Zhen Huan picked up the teacup.

Shen Meizhuang was so upset by what she said that she had no intention of inviting her to have lunch.

"Miss, I see that you don't look right. Are you feeling unwell?"

Caixing asked with concern after entering the room to clean up the mess.

"Cai Xing, I'm not feeling unwell for the moment, don't worry."

Shen Meizhuang hurriedly stopped her. Although she felt a slight pain in her abdomen, she went to ask the imperial physician as soon as Huan'er left Chuxiu Palace.

This makes outsiders view Huan'er.

"Cai Xing, I'm a little hungry. I want to eat the yam and jujube paste cake you made."

"Slave, go now."

Caixing's attention was diverted, but Caiyue was not easy to fool, so she suggested in a gentle voice.

"Master, the imperial physician has some extra abortion-preserving medicine. How about I brew you a packet?"

"Then I'll have to trouble Caiyue."

Shen Meizhuang was thinking about Zhen Huan all the time, while Zhen Huan, who had returned to Suiyuxuan, was giving instructions to Bai Zhi.

"I'm feeling a little unwell. Please ask Doctor Wen to come over."

"Slave, go now."

In the past, Wanpin always asked Liuzhu to ask for help from the Imperial Hospital, but she didn't expect that this time it would fall on her.

Baizhi didn't dare to delay, put down the teacup and walked out.

"Your humble servant, Wen Shichu of the Imperial Hospital, pays his respects to Her Majesty Wanpin."

"Brother Shichu, there's no need to be so polite. Get up quickly."

With Liu Zhu guarding the door, Zhen Huan felt free.

When Wen Shichu heard the familiar name, his heart warmed up.

If Huan'er had married him, she would not have suffered the pain of losing her son.

"Huan'er, it's all because of Brother Shichu's incompetence that I can only watch you suffer."

"Brother Shichu, this path was chosen by Huan'er herself. It has nothing to do with anyone else."

Even though Zhen Huan felt bitter in her heart, she would not reveal her scars in front of her childhood sweetheart.

"Brother Shichu, I asked you to come here this time to check if there's anything dirty in the soil."

As she spoke, she handed two handkerchiefs wrapped with something to Wen Shichu.

Wen Shi sniffed a few times, then picked up a little soil and put it into his mouth.

After a while, he opened another handkerchief.

After a long while, he spoke with a heavy face.

"Huan'er, the soil in these two handkerchiefs is problematic. One contains musk, and the other will make you anxious if you smell it for a long time."
