The queen is sober in the world, and she is winning every step of the palace fight.

The emperor arrived quickly.

It was said that they were discussing important military matters and no one was allowed to disturb them. But when they heard that there was a problem with Zhishu's pregnancy, they quickly left behind a few ministers and went to the harem.

"What's up!"

As soon as he entered the room, he saw that the judge of the Academy of Literature had arrived and was taking Zhishu's pulse, so the emperor immediately asked a question.

The judge of the Literary Academy finished listening to the pulse and knelt down to report, "Your Majesty, Miss Ying seems to be having a miscarriage. The situation is not optimistic. Please allow us to discuss a prescription to preserve the pregnancy. Whether it will succeed or not depends on God's will."

The emperor's face suddenly turned pale.

He had only two princesses and no son. After a concubine finally got pregnant, problems arose within a few days. One can imagine how he felt at that time.

"How could this be? What on earth is wrong?"

He glanced at everyone in the room.

At this time, not only Concubine Shun and Feiwan Wu Xiangrong were by her side, but Concubine Xian, as the acting person in the harem, had also arrived, and Concubine Lan Zhaoyi, who had always followed Concubine Xian, was also by her side.

Xianfei spoke first, distancing herself from the situation. "Your Majesty, Doctor Chu, who is helping Ying with her pregnancy, said that when he came to check her pulse this morning, it was fine. It's obvious that she ate something inappropriate. Sister Shunfei and the others were having a banquet together just now. Could there be something taboo at the table that's not suitable for pregnant women?"

Concubine Shun looked terrified. "I am extremely worried about Sister Ying's pregnancy, and I dare not give her anything that would harm her pregnancy. All the dishes on the banquet today have been carefully arranged, and there is nothing cold or taboo."

The emperor didn't want to listen to her explanation and directly ordered Cao Bin to take people to check the items on the banquet.

"Except for the food, check the utensils and everything around carefully!"

"Yes, slaves follow the order."

Cao Bin knew that the emperor was furious and became suspicious. He suspected that someone had secretly harmed Concubine Ying's bleeding.

The first person to be suspected is Concubine Shun, who hosted the dinner.

When Concubine Shun saw Cao Bin and his men rushing to the main hall, she naturally understood that the emperor was suspicious of her. She suddenly turned pale and trembled, looking more anxious than Zhishu herself.

Zhishu advised calmly, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. As the saying goes, life and death are determined by fate. If I can't keep this pregnancy, it's also God's will. I'm still young, and there will be plenty of opportunities to bear children for Your Majesty in the future. Your Majesty, please don't be angry. It's not worth it to harm your body for me."

Her calm and cool demeanor, which usually seemed quite charming, now annoyed the emperor.

Not only was the emperor not persuaded, he became even angrier.

She glared at Concubine Shun and scolded her, "I placed Concubine Ying in your palace because I value your gentleness and meticulousness. Now that she is pregnant, I have repeatedly told you to take good care of her. How are you doing?"

Concubine Shun was so frightened that she knelt down on the ground, crying but not daring to cry out loud, looking very pitiful.

The emperor went to see Concubine Xian again. Concubine Xian was startled and bowed to apologize without waiting for him to open his mouth to blame her.

"I was ordered to take charge of the harem, but I failed to take good care of Sister Ying. It was all due to my negligence. Your Majesty, please punish me and ask Concubine Qing to help me as soon as possible, otherwise there will be too many people and too much trouble..."

I have to clean up the past loopholes, set up new rules and settle accounts, and take care of sisters like Ying who need special care. If I want to be considerate of everything, I feel a little overwhelmed."

The emperor glared at Concubine Xian angrily.

At this time, he also secretly tried to control the queen and gain power.

Then he said, "Noble Concubine Qing's health is fluctuating. I asked her to help you, but she has been dragging her feet and unable to move. How about I send someone else to help you?"

Xian Fei quickly smiled and said, "Besides Sister Qing, who is so thoughtful and noble? Who else can compare to her? Since she is not in good health, why don't I go to her palace every day to discuss matters and spare her the trouble of going back and forth? What do you think, Your Majesty?"

She was just trying to absolve herself of responsibility for Zhishu's pregnancy, using the excuse that she was powerless. She brought up Concubine Qing because she saw that she was so focused on recuperating that she ignored everything else.

Who knew that the emperor would suddenly send her a new helper.

No one else can make her worry less than Concubine Qing!

After all, if Concubine Qing is assisting in the harem, it means that there is no one to assist in the harem, and she is the only one who has the final say in the harem.

The emperor suddenly made up his mind and said, "You've been visiting Imperial Concubine Qing every day, only to disturb her recovery. It would be better if she could recover quickly and help you. While she's recovering, let Zhao Ronghua help you. I've seen how close you two have been lately, so I'm sure you can discuss things together. She's kind and thoughtful, and treats people well. She could help you with any oversights you've made."

When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.

Even Fei Wan herself didn't expect this.

Concubine Shun knelt on the ground and almost forgot to continue crying.

The virtuous concubine was naturally even more shocked. She was stunned for a moment before she laughed unnaturally.

"Your Majesty, why are you suddenly asking Sister Zhao to trouble you? Sister Zhao has been suffering from all sorts of troubles all day long, sick and injured. Compared to Sister Qing Guifei, I don't know who is weaker. You dote on her so much, but you don't know how to care for her. If I were to ask Sister Ying to help me, it would be better."

The emperor raised an eyebrow and half-jokingly said, "Although Consort Ying is in better shape, her position is not high enough, and she is pregnant. What's the difference between asking her for help and not asking for help?"

Seeing the emperor's half-smile, Concubine Xian's heart was beating fast.

Could it be that His Majesty really wants Zhao Ronghua to share her power? !

How could a mere fourth-rank Rong Hua...

No, wait...

Fei Wan will soon be recognizing her relatives. When she returns from visiting her relatives at the Yu family, with the status of a minister's daughter, will His Majesty promote her to a higher position?!

This rise speed is even faster than Yu Tingjin's back then!

What's going on in the Yu family's ancestral tomb? One daughter after another has come to the palace to rise step by step. The virtuous concubine secretly cursed Yu Zhong for his ulterior motives and smiled sweetly to test the emperor's intentions:

"Your Majesty, Sister Zhao is currently only in the position of Ronghua. If you really want her to help me, why not raise her rank so that the people in the palace will be convinced."

"Of course I will promote her." The emperor perfunctorily said this to Concubine Xian, then asked Fei Wan herself, "Zhao Qing, I want you to learn how to manage the harem. Are you willing?"

Fei Wan was naturally willing.

But she still bowed helplessly and said, "I am young and inexperienced. Although I want to help Her Majesty, I'm afraid I can't do it right now. Your Majesty, why not wait until later..."

"What do you mean by later?" the Emperor interrupted her, his tone unquestionable. "Young age is the best time to learn skills. You're not stupid. As long as you're willing, there's nothing you can't learn. Concubine Xian, don't you agree?"

The virtuous concubine forced a smile: "Your Majesty is right."

She regrets it very much now.

First it was Yu Tingjin, then the Queen. In order to deal with them, wasn't she overly helping Fei Wan, both overtly and covertly?!

Although Fei Wan saved her in the matter of Lu Guan...

But after the hardship, she is not ready to share wealth and glory with Fei Wan. Fei Wan is just a palace maid who has risen to the top!

She raised her eyes and looked at Fei Wan.
