Traveling through the Legend of Zhen Huan: My Queen, please love me!

Deep within the inner palace, Empress Dowager Wuya Chengbi suddenly fell seriously ill and was bedridden. The news shook the entire palace.

After repeated treatments by the Imperial Hospital and Yixiu's all-night service, they came to the conclusion that he was really ill.

When Shen Meizhuang heard the news, she was extremely anxious and hurried to the empress dowager's bedroom to visit her and personally took care of her daily life and diet.

Lingfeng is smart and since she gave birth to the Sixth Prince, she has a place in the palace even though she is a noble lady.

He secretly sent a letter to Jiangnan, and when it came together with Cao Qinmo's letter, he explained everything clearly to Liu Hua.

Wen Shichu of the Imperial Medical Bureau had been appointed as the head of the hospital by an imperial edict from Jiangnan. He was naturally entrusted with the important task by Yixiu and was responsible for diagnosing and treating the empress dowager's illness.

Because Yixiu claimed that she was having a mad attack, she could not serve Wuya Chengbi all the time.

Moreover, Wuya Chengbi had long been tired of the flattery and salaries of others, so day after day, only Shen Meizhuang and Wen Shichu were busy at the empress dowager's bedside.

Shen Meizhuang and Wen Shichu were already deeply in love. Their communication gradually increased, and their eye contact became more frequent.

Sometimes, a caring look or a gentle smile can convey deep affection.

However, all this did not escape the eyes of Concubine Duan who occasionally accompanied her.

Under Yinzhen's checks and balances, Concubine Duan and Liu Hua both had the power to assist in managing the six palaces.

At this moment, Yixiu claimed to be ill, and her body had recovered greatly after being treated by the imperial physician.

You should go to see Wuya Chengbi diligently. The more you look at her, the more clues you will naturally find.

As a woman who once deeply loved Yinzhen, Concubine Duan naturally had a keen insight into the emotional changes between men and women.

She quietly observed Shen Meizhuang and Wen Shichu's every move, and a trace of doubt gradually arose in her heart.

Whenever Shen Meizhuang was changing the dressing for the empress dowager, Wen Shichu would always hand her what she needed at the right time. The two of them worked in perfect harmony, as if they were in perfect harmony.

If you serve the Queen Mother for a long time, this is understandable.

When Shen Meizhuang looked worried because of the Queen Mother's illness, Wen Shichu would whisper a few words of comfort, and the concern in his tone was beyond words.

When he saw a palace maid coming in, he would deliberately keep a distance, with a hint of panic in his eyes.

The more Concubine Duan watched, the more frightened she became. She clearly sensed an indescribable emotion from the behavior of these two people.

But then, let them be buried in the depths of my heart, so that I can use them later.

His eyes gradually fell on Shen Meizhuang's four-month belly. Concubine Duan often fantasized about becoming a mother herself, and there were many pregnant women in the palace.

So I wondered, "How can this be three months? It's clearly four months. She's not wearing such a thick cotton coat. The fetus is gradually taking shape in four months, which is very different from three months."

In Jiangnan, Liu Hua, who was about to pack up and return to the palace, was holding two letters presented by Xiao Yunzi.

One letter was written in black and white, and the other was empty.

He opened both of them, and his fingers couldn't help but touch the letter from Lingfeng.

"Love your young son."

Liu Hua read the letter silently and put it aside. An Lingrong, on the other hand, picked up Cao Qinmo's letter with great interest.

"The Queen Mother's serious illness wasn't without reason. At this critical moment, the Fourteenth Master's wife was about to give birth, which should have been a joyous occasion. However, at this moment, the Queen Mother heard a series of news from outside the palace.

It is said that Hesheli suddenly went crazy for some unknown reason, babbling nonsense and saying some words that should not be mentioned. What made the Queen Mother even more worried was that the Emperor actually planned to thoroughly investigate the Eighth Master’s Party.

After reading it, he burned it without leaving any trace under the curling green smoke.

“How did she know about Hesheli?”

An Lingrong couldn't help but ask, Cao Qinmo lived in the deep palace, was of humble origin, and had no support from her maternal family, which is why she had come to where she is today with great difficulty.

She was originally a concubine selected during the reign of Emperor Kangxi, but was not chosen, and her name was left in Prince Yong's mansion for the second time.

When Cao Qinmo entered the palace, Empress Chunyuan had died, and Yixiu became the principal wife. Another concubine had died, and Nian Shilan entered the palace as a concubine, and she and Qi Yuebin had not yet broken off.

As for Li Jingyan, she was promoted from a concubine to a concubine like Cao Qinmo by giving birth to the third prince.

These were sorted out by An Lingrong. Logically speaking, Cao Qinmo should not know what Hesheli said.

Liu Hua also knew that this was very strange, but the most urgent thing was to find a way to get out of this situation.

As a mother who is clearly biased towards her own son, how could the Queen Mother not be extremely anxious about the current situation?

What gave Liu Hua a headache was that the Empress Dowager wanted to act as a peacemaker between Yinzhen and the 14th Prince last time.

Yinzhen didn't say anything on the surface, but he still cared in his heart. He didn't want to do something thankless again.

In addition, there is another important factor that cannot be ignored - the secret affair between Longkodo and the Queen Mother.

Back then, they were both young and affectionate with each other. However, due to various frustrations and pressures, this relationship ultimately failed to come to fruition.

Especially the incident in which Longkodo deceived the empress dowager into entering the palace, which became a pain that could never be erased from the empress dowager's heart.

Liu Hua considered that Hesheli was slapped by Li Si'er who was wearing pink and blue clothes last time, but Longkodo did not say anything.

I knew that the feelings between the two of them couldn't be any deeper. I sighed in my heart, thinking that this was another troublesome thing.

An Lingrong suffered a lot of grievances when she was young in the An family, and favoring concubines over wives was just a common occurrence for her.

But when it comes to Longkodo, it is extraordinary.

He carefully recalled the letter Cao Qinmo had just sent him, and glanced at the news from Lingfeng.

"Sister, why would a First Rank official leave himself a big handle for favoring a concubine and killing his wife?"

"I don't like it and I'm not satisfied with it. The most important thing is that I can please someone."

Liu Hua answered casually, all men in this world are of the same character.

There is really a lot in common between Yinzhen and his uncle.

However, the hint that Zhu Xi had given him came to his mind, and he had long since realized that Wuya Chenbi did not like Tongjia Yunrong.

Of course there was, the Empress Dowager hated Longkodo's wife.

The reason is simple to understand: jealousy between women can have serious consequences.

Because of her prominent birth and the fact that she was the daughter of a famous family, Hesheli attracted everyone's attention wherever she went and became the focus of attention. She could only be the legitimate wife of a wealthy family.

On the other hand, although the Queen Mother was the mother of a country, she was still a noble lady for two years after giving birth to the Fourth Prince.

Because she was a concubine of the Uya clan, she was only a concubine when she entered the palace.

Compared with this wife, I feel pale in comparison.

At first, Uya Chenbi did not want to join the royal family, but wanted to stay with Longkodo for real.

Under such a strong contrast, I couldn't help but feel jealous and angry.

After finally becoming the empress dowager, she had to keep her emotions tightly entangled. Longkodo wanted power outside, so he had to build a good relationship with the empress dowager.

He was already having an affair with Wuya Chengbi, so he was bound to keep in contact.

This is why Longkodo did not restrain himself even though his behavior of favoring his concubine and killing his wife became known to everyone.

Liu Hua once again sighed and lamented to An Lingrong, "The world is just a huge mess of people and amateur actors."
