There was a hint of unnaturalness on Zhen Huan's face. She had never heard Sister Mei mention this matter before, but Zhen Huan still responded with a smile.

"Thank you for your compliment, Your Majesty. Your Majesty has been handling the affairs of the six palaces for many years, which is really hard work."

Yixiu sneered inwardly. After all, she was young. "Ever since you two entered the palace, your relationship has been so good! I'm really envious. I can't help but think of my sister. She was just like you back then, but things have changed."

After saying this, his face turned melancholy, and he continued to talk to himself: "The situation you two are in now is so similar to that of me and my sister."

When the two were engaged, the elder sister was engaged to a general, while she was engaged to an unfavored prince. But who could have imagined that the unfavored prince would gradually emerge and become a popular candidate for the throne.

Although she was only a concubine at the time, her status had risen accordingly and was far superior to that of a general. How could her sister, who had always been arrogant, tolerate this?

In her sister's heart, she can only be inferior to her sister, just like Concubine Wan now. Isn't this psychologically unbalanced?

Yixiu gently closed her eyes, calmed her mind, and said to Zhen Huan, "Speaking of which, I'm curious. What method did Concubine Ning use to make Concubine Jing, who had been infertile for many years, pregnant?"

It’s because of Sister Mei that Concubine Jing is pregnant! Zhen Huan was stunned for a moment, her pretty face full of surprise.

Yixiu covered her mouth with a handkerchief and coughed lightly, then asked in surprise, "Why, are you so close? Didn't she tell you?"

Zhen Huan realized that she had lost her composure a bit, so she lowered her head slightly to hide her expression. She said in a low voice, "Sister Mei did not take any medicine, and I have never seen her take any medicine."

"Your Highness Consort Jing is blessed by heaven. When the time comes, she will naturally conceive a dragon fetus. I'm afraid you're overthinking it."

Despite saying so, she subconsciously glanced at her belly. Both of them were exhausted, but Concubine Jing showed that she was pregnant, while she was tired.

The Queen's words were full of provocation, how could she not hear it? But she had to admit that these were facts.

Sister Mei was indeed not as close to her as they were in childhood. She didn't tell her many things. Even though they lived together in the palace, Sister Mei seldom went to her Suiyuxuan.

At this time, a young eunuch came in and reported, "Your Majesty, Concubine Ning just made Yu Ying bow in the street, and now she's still kneeling! Should we wake her up?"

Yixiu was curious, so the young eunuch told her what had happened. However, with so many people watching on the long street, he didn't dare to exaggerate.

Yixiu's eyes turned cold: "She knows her limits!"

Concubine Ning was more difficult to deal with than she thought. Even such a provocation did not make her move, and she had no idea how to control her.

Isn't this Yu Ying very powerful? She doesn't take others seriously and is willing to order others to do things. Why didn't she get rid of Ning Fei's dragon fetus? What a pity!

"Since Concubine Ning didn't wake up, let her kneel for another hour."

The young eunuch hesitated and said, "Your Majesty, it's still snowing outside."

After all, the emperor was the one who was most favored by the emperor, and he had to abolish her in an instant. He felt helpless and said, "Then tell her to go back to her room and kneel down!"

Yixiu looked up at Zhen Huan who was sorting out the account books and stopped talking...

As the sky gradually darkened, Zhen Huan rubbed her aching neck and looked out the window.

I wonder if the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict today will come to Jingren Palace to look for her? Just as I thought of this, a notification sounded outside.

The eunuch delivering the decree said, "Your Majesty, the Empress. The Emperor has turned over the name card of Concubine Wan today."

Yixiu looked a little unhappy and said, "In that case, Lady Wan should go and get ready."

Zhen Huan stood up and left with the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict. Yixiu's face turned completely cold. She summoned Zhen Huan to Jingren Palace every day and made things difficult for her.

Little did she know that it was not only Zhen Huan who was in trouble, but also herself.

The emperor no longer asked her to sleep with him, but on the first and fifteenth day of every month, for her respect, he would stay in Jingren Palace.

Yixiu touched her cheek and her hairline, muttering to herself, "That's right, I already have white hair, how can I compare with these concubines who are in their twenties."

But every time the cards were turned, Zhen Huan was called away from Jingren Palace. How could this not be another slap in the face?

Zhen Huan! Originally, she was promoted to balance Hua Fei, but now it seems that she has the tendency to become an eyesore.

Yixiu sneered, raised her hand and pointed at the incense burner.

Huichun immediately stepped forward and extinguished the burning incense on the table.

Zhen Huan is still hoping to have her own children, how can she not be on guard?

Zhen Huan came out of Jingren Palace, returned to Suiyuxuan to change clothes, and then went to Yangxin Palace. When she reached the door of the main hall, she passed by Yu Ying'er.

Yu Ying'er glared at her fiercely, then snorted, flicked her handkerchief, turned around, and limped away.

Zhen Huan was bewildered by the stare and ignored her. The eunuch reported and then went in.

Yu Ying'er was so angry that she ran to the emperor and complained to Concubine Ning right after she was punished to kneel.

Unexpectedly, the emperor not only did not make the decision for her, but also blamed her for breaking the rules. In front of her, he asked Su Peisheng to give Ningpin compensation, saying that she had been wronged.

Concubine Ning punished her, the Queen punished her again, and now even the Emperor won't stand for her. It seems that Concubine Ning's status in the palace cannot be underestimated. She has to stay away from her in the future to avoid being taken advantage of again.

But what about this Concubine Wan? She works so hard singing little songs in the Yangxin Palace, but every night, the Emperor never calls her name.

Instead, he summoned Concubine Wan to sleep with him, intercepting her favor every day. It was so abominable. If she were not there, would the emperor only favor her?

What position will she have then? All the concubines in the harem have to look at her face, who dares not to give her face?

She walked forward angrily, swinging her handkerchief and constantly saying bad things about Zhen Huan.

As Yu Ying'er walked, she found that she was almost at the door of her palace. Instead of entering, she turned around and went to Yiku Palace.

Unlike Zhen Huan's situation, Shen Meizhuang lived a very comfortable life. The emperor would come to Xianfu Palace from time to time to see her and Concubine Jing.

He also often asked Su Peisheng to send him some rewards.

In the blink of an eye, Concubine Jing and she had the canonization ceremony. However, Shen Meizhuang proposed not to move the palace for the time being on the grounds that she was pregnant.

Early that morning, Wen Shichu came with a medicine box to take Shen Meizhuang's pulse.

Shen Meizhuang dressed herself up early and sat on the couch waiting. When she saw a man in official uniform, with an upright posture, a gentle face and a faint smile coming in, her eyes suddenly lit up and she stared at the man with sparkling eyes.

Wen Shichu first greeted Shen Meizhuang, then took out a handkerchief and placed it on her fair wrist, then knelt beside her to take her pulse.

As soon as Wen Shichu came in, he saw Shen Meizhuang's slightly charming face and the undisguised love in her eyes. He lowered his head slightly and raised his lips.

Thinking that there was a little medicine boy beside him, he immediately turned around to look. He didn't know when the little medicine boy was sent to the outer room and did not come in. He felt relieved.

Shen Meizhuang mouthed silently, "Something's up."

Wen Shichu immediately understood and said loudly, "Your Majesty has been feeling a little tired recently. I suggest you take two doses of herbal decoctions."

Shen Meizhuang caught a glimpse of the eunuch outside. "What the imperial physician said is true. This time I still need the imperial physician's help. Please prescribe a prescription. I'll use it and see if it works before leaving. Is that okay?"

Wen Shichu chuckled: "That's fine, I'll just wait for a moment."

Afterwards, he went to the outer room, wrote down the prescription, and handed it to the little medicine boy, who bowed and accepted it before leaving.

Wen Shichu immediately returned to the room and asked worriedly, "What's wrong? Something's wrong."

Shen Meizhuang's eyes, as clear as autumn water, blinked slightly, her eyes revealing longing. She did not speak, but opened her arms first.

Wen Shichu felt helpless and happy, his handsome face full of joy. As soon as he reached the couch, a pair of jade arms came around him and held him tightly around the waist.

Wen Shichu used his broad chest to lock the person tightly in his arms, and the tip of his nose was filled with a sweet scent.

She was completely reluctant to let go: "I received your message last night, is there something wrong?"

Shen Meizhuang's voice was muffled, and she didn't want to talk about things. She only came once every few days, and there were time restrictions.

After a tender moment, Wen Shichu squatted down and held a pair of soft little hands in his palms. Shen Meizhuang still felt that she was not being treated well enough and was a little dissatisfied.

She twitched her upturned nose and said with a hint of resentment, "I look forward to your coming every day, but the time is too short."

Wen Shichu reached out his hand with pity and touched her rosy cheek: "I will come to see you often. The little medicine boy will be back soon. Tell me, what happened to you?"

Shen Meizhuang looked embarrassed. "A maid recently came to my palace to clean the kitchen. She was sneaking around, so I asked someone to keep an eye on her. When she wasn't paying attention, I found a medicine bag in her room. Come and see what this medicine is for."

As he spoke, he went to the dressing table and took out a white medicine bag.

Wen Shichu unfolded it, smelled it first, then dipped a little on his finger and tasted it. He was immediately shocked. He immediately took Shen Meizhuang's hand and checked her pulse again. He was relieved after confirming that there was nothing wrong.

Wen Shichu said with a worried look on his face: "This medicine pack contains something extremely cold that can harm the fetus. Taking it once or twice will only make you feel unwell."

"If used continuously for a month, it will cause miscarriage. The symptoms and pulse will indicate physical weakness, not the drug."

Shen Meizhuang had some idea that the Queen loved the Emperor and was also concerned about her own reputation, so she would not allow any scandal to spread in the palace.

Even if the queen drugged her, it wouldn't be discovered immediately. If it were discovered, she would need to find someone else to take the blame.

No matter who she finds out is who it is, she cannot escape the guilt of negligence. If she can do it silently, people will think that it was Shen Meizhuang's own health problem that caused the miscarriage.

This would certainly displease the Emperor, who would think that she was not suitable for bearing children. Killing two birds with one stone was truly the Queen's style.

Shen Meizhuang was so clever! She came up with a brilliant idea in no time. "I wonder what would happen if this man took this medicine?"

Wen Shichu thought for a moment and said, "It will cause diarrhea!"

Shen Meizhuang smiled cunningly, this is very good.
