Zhen Huan was determined to drag the Queen into this trouble. Even if the Queen was not punished, it would be good for her to be suspected by the Emperor.

An Lingrong once revealed some things about the Queen to Zhen Huan, but they were all vague.

She didn't think anything of it at the time, but later Zhen Huan figured it out and became more and more certain that her miscarriage was caused by the Queen. Now she hated the Queen more than Concubine Hua.

After all, the feud between Concubine Hua and her was not about a fetus as in the original plot, but only about their daily bickering and Shen Meizhuang's fake pregnancy.

But the queen and she were pregnant with a fetus, her first child, and it died in the womb.

Zhen Huan wanted to kill the Queen to relieve her hatred.

As soon as she got the chance, Zhen Huan tried to deceive the emperor. Her hatred made her speak faster and she expressed her thoughts.

Zhen Huan felt a little regretful after saying this, she was too impatient.

To put it bluntly, if the palace maid died, there would be no evidence, and the queen could get away with it with the help of the empress dowager.

Zhen Huan will only involve herself.

When Yinzhen said that the incident happened a long time ago and how could it involve the Queen, Zhen Huan understood what the Emperor meant.

Even if it was really the Queen who did it, Yinzhen would not punish the Queen for this matter.

The queen is different from ordinary concubines. She represents the face of the royal family. Unless it is absolutely necessary, Yinzhen will not hate the queen, and the queen will be safe.

"I spoke nonsense. I beg Your Majesty to punish me." Zhen Huan lowered her head and squatted down to show weakness.

In the past two years, Concubine Hua became pregnant and gave birth to a daughter. Later, An Lingrong also became pregnant, which really took away a lot of attention from the emperor. Even though Zhen Huan claimed that she and the emperor were soul mates, she had to know her limits when facing the emperor who was intimidating without even getting angry.

Concubine Chun was anxious, and she pulled the emperor's sleeve and said:

"Your Majesty, Sister Zhen is also confused because of her concern. She is just too concerned about me and did not mean to say anything wrong. Your Majesty, please forgive Sister Zhen this time."

Chun Changzai was a bit more tolerant after all. Even though she was in a life-or-death situation just now, she couldn't bear to see Zhen Huan being wronged.

Yinzhen was not very angry to begin with, but when Zhen Huan showed weakness, he softened his heart. Moreover, Chun Chang, who had just had a miscarriage, pleaded for mercy. Yinzhen was silent for three seconds and then reached out to Zhen Huan:

"You little girl, I didn't say you were wrong, why punish you?"

Zhen Huan placed her hand on Yinzhen's hand and stood up. She felt relieved and secretly cast a grateful look at Chun'er.

After this little episode, Concubine Chun felt a little less uncomfortable, but her stomach was still uncomfortable. She leaned in the emperor's arms to absorb the warmth, but her eyes were looking in the direction of Zhen Huan.

In fact, what she wanted more was to rely on Zhen Huan's arms, but unfortunately the emperor came too quickly, so she could only settle for the second best and gain the emperor's pity first.

Chun Changzai is not the only one who loves Shen Meizhuang and Zhen Huan.

She knew that she entered the palace to win favor and become pregnant and give birth to a noble princess or prince.

The most important thing is to win glory for your family and a future for yourself.

The accidental miscarriage was caused by her carelessness.

But while she was sad, she had already decided to win the emperor's favor so that she would not be forgotten by him while she was recuperating, and it would be convenient for her to get pregnant again when she recovered.

When the Queen and others heard the news that Chun Changzai had a miscarriage, they went to visit her.

Yixiu mainly went to see if the traitor who had attacked Chun Chang had confessed anything. She was very careful in her work and Jianqiu did not even show up.

The traitor in Suiyuxuan is like the spy of the spy. Even if he betrays his superiors, he cannot betray Yixiu.

Yixiu knew that she had not been cleared of the fact that she had caused Zhen Huan to have a miscarriage. This time, she felt very sorry for what happened to Concubine Chun and couldn't help but shed tears.

Not only did this move disgust Zhen Huan, it also successfully dispelled the emperor's faint doubts. After a long time, the emperor and the empress finally mended the rift in their hearts and reconciled.

After the emperor, the empress and others left, only Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang, who came to see Concubine Chun, were left in Suiyuxuan.

An Lingrong had long lost her friendship with Sui Yuxuan. This time, she simply stood behind the Queen like the other concubines, briefly checked on Concubine Chun's situation, and then went back.

Chun Changzai took Zhen Huan's hand, leaned against her arms, and whispered:

"Sister Zhen, Chun'er is so scared!"

Zhen Huan patted her on the back and said, "Don't be afraid. Just take good care of yourself now and be more careful in the future."

Shen Meizhuang sat at the round table, picked up the hot tea poured by Chun Changzai's personal maid Qing He, brought it to her lips, took a sip, and said:

"Huan'er, Chun'er, do you think this incident has anything to do with the Queen?"

Shen Meizhuang became depressed, and after a cold war with the emperor, she calmed down as time went by. She followed the empress dowager to worship Buddha all day long, which cleansed her soul a lot. She was able to face the conspiracies and intrigues in the harem with a normal attitude.

She is no longer the little white flower who would point at An Lingrong and call her cruel.

Yu Ying'er targeted Zhen Huan. Although Shen Meizhuang was angry, she did not hate her much. At that time, An Lingrong helped to come up with ideas to avenge Zhen Huan. Shen Meizhuang even blamed An Lingrong for being cruel without being involved.

Now that she has gone through the fake pregnancy incident, her mentality has changed. She only feels that it was ridiculous for her to blame An Lingrong for being cruel.

But she would only reflect on it occasionally and would not apologize to An Lingrong.

——The three sisters have long become strangers.

After hearing Shen Meizhuang's question, Zhen Huan pondered for a moment and said:

"I never told you before, but not long after I moved into Suiyuxuan, I discovered a jar of musk buried under the osmanthus tree that the Queen had transplanted.

I didn't think much about it at the time, but now I think that Noble Lady Fucha also had a miscarriage caused by musk, and the safflower that harmed Chun'er this time were all similar conspiracies.

Sister Mei, Chun'er, you also know that the Queen is proficient in pharmacology, she knows how to use medicine secretly..."

Shen Meizhuang was surprised: "Suiyuxuan once dug up musk, why didn't you tell me?"

Zhen Huan: "I didn't mention it at the time because I was afraid that my sister would be scared. Later, when nothing happened, I simply didn't mention it to save my sister from worrying. Oh, it's my fault. If I had brought it up earlier, my sister wouldn't have trusted others so easily..."

Shen Meizhuang thought about her initial struggle and ambition when she first entered the palace. She knew she would definitely not give up just because Zhen Huan said she had discovered musk. She said with relief:

"It's not your fault. I was stupid. I trusted others so easily and ignored your advice. Huan'er, don't blame yourself."

Zhen Huan, who didn't blame herself much, said: "I'm glad Sister Mei isn't angry with me."

Chun Changzai listened carefully to the conversation between the two and came to the conclusion:

"It seems that everything that happened in the harem is related to the Queen. Why doesn't the Emperor punish the Queen?"

Shen Meizhuang smiled bitterly, "No matter how big the Queen's fault is, she is still the Queen. If you want to punish her, you are slapping the Emperor in the face."

It was like she was framed by Concubine Hua for a fake pregnancy, and the emperor simply believed what Concubine Hua said. The blame was all on Liu Bin and had nothing to do with Concubine Hua. Concubine Hua was only punished for not governing strictly and was fined three months' monthly salary.

Chun Changzai felt her body getting cold, penetrating into her bones. The harem was too cold, so she huddled even more tightly in Zhen Huan's arms to get some warmth.
