Comprehensive film and television: Make trouble before lying down

When Wen Shichu saw this smile, he couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine. He didn't know what Shen Meizhuang was thinking about. Who was she trying to target? He felt that person was not going to be able to escape.

Why was he feeling a bit gloating? But he was still a little worried.

"Don't act impulsively. If you want to retaliate, don't rush now. Your health is more important."

Shen Meizhuang nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will never put myself in danger. The same goes for you. I will not allow you to participate in any fights in the harem, even if Zhen Huan asks you to."

Seeing that Wen Shichu did not agree immediately.

Shen Meizhuang continued with a look of resentment, "She will ask you to help her with things, but she won't consider your safety. Did you know that when she first entered the palace, she was frightened? She originally wanted you to take medicine so that she could pretend to be sick and avoid being favored."

Wen Shichu was shocked. Pretending to be sick to avoid favor was a crime of deceiving the emperor. How dare she?

Shen Meizhuang rolled her eyes at him. "If I hadn't interrupted her that day, do you know what the consequences would have been? It would have been fine if it hadn't been discovered. But if the Emperor knew about it, at best, both of us would have been responsible and you would have been expelled from the palace. At worst, he would have put the entire thing on you."

Wen Shichu still couldn't believe it: "She wouldn't do this..."

He himself was not sure. If Zhen Huan had really asked him for help when she had just entered the palace, he would have agreed. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

Shen Meizhuang leaned over and gently kissed the corner of his lips. When she heard footsteps outside, she quickly separated.

After Wen Shichu returned to the Imperial Hospital with his medicine box, he was still worried about Shen Meiyu, so he kept an eye on the movements in the harem.

He also received instructions from Shen Meizhuang and began to study the prescription for the epidemic.

In the past few days, there have been frequent reports of illness in Xianfu Palace, and the emperor was summoned to Xianfu Palace on the pretext of feeling unwell.

Then it was natural for the emperor to stay for dinner. As expected, the emperor sent someone to the Imperial Hospital, who also learned that the emperor had diarrhea and had called the imperial physician.

He really didn't expect that the medicine would be used on the emperor. What a brave girl she was. He couldn't help but worry about her.

Afterwards, after two or three meals, the emperor came to his senses and ordered a thorough investigation.

A young palace maid was rescued and a medicine bag was found in the room.

The only two pregnant concubines in Xianfu Palace were both murdered. The emperor was furious and ordered a thorough investigation. The atmosphere in the palace was serious and everyone was in danger.

Fortunately, the noise was loud enough to stop people from thinking of taking further action. With the emperor paying attention to the harem, the queen did not dare to commit a crime against the wind.

The emperor also sent the aunt he had promised at the New Year's Eve banquet. Aunt Jinruo was not very old. When she was in the palace, she followed the emperor and worked under Yuhu. She was very capable.

From now on, all items sent into Xianfu Palace must be checked by Jinruo before they can be used.

This also made the queen very angry.

The next morning, when paying respects, Zhen Huan was unexpectedly late. Shen Meizhuang, who was sitting beside her, was very surprised. Seeing that Concubine Hua did not show any strange expression, she thought it was not arranged by her.

The Queen called out and glanced at her from the corner of her eye, not knowing what tricks she was going to play next.

The Queen smiled and said to Zhen Huan, "You've been working so hard these past few days, serving the Emperor day in and day out. I just received a few blessed longevity quilts inscribed with the Chinese characters for happiness and longevity from a Tibetan Lama master."

"I left one for you. You can use it to cover yourself when you sleep, so that you can have a prince soon."

As soon as these words were spoken, all the concubines in the room cast unfriendly glances at Zhen Huan.

Who in the palace didn't hope to have a child? And yet, the Empress never gave one to anyone else? Yet, she gave it to Zhen Huan.

The Concubine Hua, who was sitting beside her, immediately turned unhappy and said sarcastically, "That's right. If you can give birth to a prince in the future, he will be named the crown prince."

After saying this, he did not forget to look at Concubine Jing and Shen Meizhuang provocatively. Shen Meizhuang responded with a smile on her face.

The Queen's expression immediately turned cold. "Can you really gossip about the Crown Prince? Sister Hua Fei, you'd better watch your words."

"Okay, let's all disperse!"

After paying their respects, Zhen Huan left Jingren Palace with Shen Meizhuang. She had been brooding over recent events and wanted to take this opportunity to get to the bottom of things.

Zhen Huan looked around and whispered, "Sister Mei, there have been rumors in the palace recently that Concubine Jing is pregnant and that it was you who prescribed the medicine. If this is not the case, you'd better dispel the rumors as soon as possible."

Shen Meizhuang's pretty face frowned slightly, and she sighed softly, saying, "Sister Huan'er, you know that since entering the palace, I have only served you in bed for a few days. How can I talk about taking medicine?"

"Besides, if there was a prescription for a pregnancy, you would be the first person I would think of. Why would I hide it?"

After hearing what Shen Meizhuang said, Zhen Huan felt relieved. She didn't believe it at first, but since everyone mentioned it to her, she began to believe it a little more.

Then she thought of Shen Meizhuang's words and said with difficulty, "Sister Mei, you pushed me to the emperor, and since then, I have rarely been with him in bed. I wonder if you can blame me."

Shen Meizhuang's brows gradually smoothed out, and she said softly, "Sister Huan'er, what are you talking about? I'm fine too. If I were in trouble, wouldn't you lend a hand?"

"Besides, if you're not there, there will be someone else. If it's someone else, I'd rather it be you."

The two were talking in whispers when Hua Fei and her group slowly came towards this direction.

The two of them immediately knelt down to greet each other. Concubine Hua had already walked away, but then turned around and walked back.

She looked at Shen Meizhuang first, then at Zhen Huan: "In recent days, I have been copying scriptures to pray for the soldiers on the front line. Concubine Ning is in poor health, so I don't want to bother her."

"I wonder if Lady Wan is free? Could you please copy a Buddhist scripture for me? It would be a small contribution to the soldiers on the front lines."

Zhen Huan was unwilling, but Concubine Hua always had an excuse to summon her to the Yikun Palace, and her reasons were so convincing that she could not refuse. She could only say, "Your Majesty has ordered me to do so. How can I disobey you?"

Seeing Zhen Huan's respectful attitude, Concubine Hua couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, took a few steps closer, and smiled sarcastically.

"This Ningpin is pregnant and has been promoted. What's the difference? Look at her little face. It's a lot rounder and prettier than when she first entered the palace."

"But Lady Wan has lost so little weight, and her brows look much more haggard. The difference is really huge!"

Shen Meizhuang was full of contempt. It was so obvious that she was trying to sow discord in the street. With Zhen Huan's intelligence, she should have been able to hear it and would definitely not be provoked.

But she really couldn't stand Hua Fei using her as a scapegoat, so she raised a smiling face towards Hua Fei.

"Empress Hua, I am pregnant, so naturally everything is prioritized. If you still consider thinness as beauty, then you would be disrespecting the heir to the throne, and I absolutely dare not do that."

"If one day, Concubine Hua also becomes pregnant, I think she won't care how much she eats. As long as the dragon fetus is safe, she will be willing to do anything. Don't you agree?"

When Concubine Hua heard that he was talking about offspring, her brows immediately furrowed and her eyes shot towards her with a cold look: "Concubine Ning is good at talking, but I'll have to trouble Concubine Wan. Come with me to the Yikun Palace to copy Buddhist scriptures."

After saying that, Concubine Hua raised her head, flicked her handkerchief, and turned away.

Zhen Huan had no way of refusing, so she could only agree with a frown. Without even looking at Shen Meiyu, she followed Concubine Hua away.

Shen Meizhuang sighed in her heart and had no choice but to walk back slowly with the support of Caixing.
