When Zhen Huan came to visit next time, the epidemic in the palace had almost been resolved.

Because Doctor Wen prepared the prescription and sent it to the Imperial Hospital in advance, it avoided being intercepted by Concubine Hua.

The emperor finally dealt with Liu Ben, but was reluctant to punish Concubine Hua, so he just confined her to house arrest as a warning to others.

At the same time, Shen Meizhuang's innocence was restored, but the fact of the fake pregnancy was known to everyone in the harem. Even if the emperor wanted to give Shen Meizhuang a chance, the concubines in the harem still mocked her.

It was late at night, and all the guards in Xianyue Pavilion were withdrawn. All the items in the room were replaced with new ones. Zhen Huan ordered someone to send new cups and new clothes for the fourth level.

She took out a willow branch and used it to dispel bad luck for Shi Qing, muttering something while the smile on her face became even brighter.

"Sister Mei, our efforts have not been in vain. The Emperor knows that you are innocent. I believe that it won't be long before the Emperor will dote on you as he did before."

The girl's eyes were pure and full of eagerness. She was happier than anyone else when Mei Zhuang was released from house arrest. They were sisters who had a deep friendship since childhood, so she was naturally more important than anyone else.

Even the fat orange one is not as important as Shen Meizhuang in front of Zhen Huan. The friendship between young girls is always warm and sincere.

Shi Qing held Zhen Huan's hand and whispered, "Huan'er, I've long seen through the ties of friendship in the harem. My friendship with the Emperor is over. Now I just want to live a peaceful life in the palace and protect my father and brother. The hearts of the harem are unpredictable, so you must be careful."

Zhen Huan's eyes were calm, but there were some tears in them. She did not cry, but her voice trembled slightly.

"Sister Mei has been wronged. From now on, the three of us sisters will support each other in the palace. And Lingrong, she is most concerned about your safety."

Shi Qing remembered that An Lingrong, a controversial character, was a very complicated character in the original drama. She was kind and vicious, inferior but self-reliant, and her friendship with Zhen Huan was even more difficult to explain.

Speaking of which, according to the timeline, An Lingrong has already joined the Queen's lineup, and Huanhuan seems to be pregnant at this time.

Shi Qing said indifferently, "Huan'er is right. Once I recover, I will make plans accordingly."

The worry between Zhen Huan's brows was finally smoothed out. She took Shi Qing's hand and whispered softly.

"It's a shame that Concubine Hua didn't get punished."

Shi Qing stroked her hair and spoke softly.

"Huan'er is always arrogant and domineering in the harem. She will always make mistakes. We will just wait and see."

【Tuanzi comes out, I want to redeem points. 】

Tuanzi quickly opened his mind and replied obediently.

[Host, please tell me that Tuanzi is here.]

Shi Qing said softly, "Tuanzi, how many points do I have left? I want to exchange them for two amulets to protect Zhen Huan's safety."

Tuanzi opened the system mall and exchanged the points for system points. He took another look at the points and found that there were less than fifty. The host's palace fighting career has just begun!

[The amulet is ready. Please accept it. The system is on standby.]

Shi Qing felt the amulet appear in his hand, raised his eyebrows, took out an amulet and put it in his purse.

Zhen Huan asked Aunt Jingxi to hand over the food box she brought and took out the pastries inside.

There are golden lotus root powder and osmanthus sugar cakes, crispy water chestnut cakes, and jujube and yam cakes, which are all Meizhuang’s favorite snacks.

Paired with two cups of Biluochun, the taste is particularly good.

"Sister Mei, I asked the kitchen to prepare your favorite snack. Come and try it. Is it as delicious as my sister's?"

Shi Qing smiled knowingly, picked up a piece of jujube and yam cake and tasted it. It was indeed full of fragrance. Paired with Biluochun tea, the taste was even better and left a long aftertaste.

"Huan'er's snacks are naturally the best."

The girl smiled sweetly and said, "If you like it, I will make it for you next time."

Shi Qing took out the brocade bag in her hand and handed it to Zhen Huan. The embroidery on the outside of the brocade bag was very delicate, which was the work that Shen Meizhuang did on a daily basis.

"Huan'er, I once went to the Wanfo Temple to pray for the gods and Buddha to bless us sisters with peace and prosperity. I have two amulets in my hand. I'll give one to you, and I have the other one in my hand. Please accept it."

Zhen Huan was grateful for Shen Meizhuang's friendship, so she put the brocade bag in her lapel and kept it safely. She smiled and said.

"Thank you sister."

As the two sisters were talking, Caiyue, the gatekeeper, came hurriedly outside Xianyue Pavilion. She bowed to Shi Qing and Zhen Huan and said respectfully.

"My lady, Lady Wan, the Emperor and Eunuch Su are here. They said they were passing by Xianyue Pavilion and came to see you."

Zhen Huan said happily with a smile in her eyes.

"Sister Mei, the emperor has you in his heart. Please have a good chat with him. I will leave first."

After saying that, Zhen Huan bowed and left in the opposite direction of Big Fat Orange. She acted with propriety and never competed for favor with her sisters. She only hoped that Sister Mei could gain a foothold in the palace and the two of them could walk side by side.

After Caiyue helped Shi Qing to dress up, she changed her clothes and put a cloak on her. She said softly.

"My lady, the Emperor may have been deceived, which is why he is so harsh on you. Caiyue knows that you have been wronged, but the Emperor has finally come to visit you, so you must seize the opportunity."

In the harem, the emperor's favor and affection determine the situation of the women in the harem. This is the survival code of the women in the harem.

Shi Qing forced a smile, which seemed a bit forced, and she said softly.

"Caiyue, you know it in your heart, you don't need to say more."

Caiyue felt a little relieved and waited on the side. After a while, the emperor came over with Eunuch Su. The eunuchs behind them were holding a lot of things in their hands, which must be the supplements that Fatty Orange gave to Shen Meizhuang.

The emperor glanced at Su Peisheng, who suddenly had an idea and bowed towards Shi Qing and said respectfully.

"The servant greets the young master."

After saying that, Su Peisheng took the short-sighted eunuch outside to wait. As for the supplements prepared for Mei Zhuang, they were naturally placed indoors.

The emperor was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, his face expressionless, his majesty untouchable.

Only when he saw Shen Meizhuang did his expression ease slightly.

"I have seen your Majesty."

Shi Qing bowed obediently, but his lowered eyes concealed the fierce look in his eyes.

"No need to be so polite. Mei'er has been wronged these days, so I came to see you specially."

Although Shen Meizhuang has a gentle personality, she is stubborn most of the time.

She would rather die with fragrance on the branch than be blown away by the north wind.

It was because of her integrity that the emperor looked up to her, so when she was falsely accused of faking pregnancy to win favor, the emperor became even more angry.

"I am not wronged. Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty."

Shi Qing avoided the emperor's touch unnoticeably, took two steps back, and distanced himself unnoticeably.

The emperor's eyes were filled with surprise, but he still spoke softly, "I would like to compensate you. I wonder what you would like to do? Why don't you tell me?"

Shi Qing seemed to be thinking about something. Xianyue Pavilion was some distance away from Suiyuxuan, and it was not appropriate to be too far away from Huan'er. It would be better to move there directly. That way, they could take care of each other.

However, the emperor favored Zhen Huan and came to Sui Yuxuan every now and then.

She was too lazy to see Lao Deng and decided to stay in the side courtyard of Suiyuxuan, which was a perfect match for her.

"I have been confined to my room for several months and miss Concubine Wan terribly. Please allow me to live with Concubine Wan in Suiyuxuan. This way, Huan'er and I can take care of her."

The emperor didn't care about trivial matters and thought that Shen Meizhuang's desire to relax was not a big problem, so he agreed to the matter.

"You and Huanhuan have a deep sisterly bond. If that's the case, let's move to Suiyuxuan tomorrow. If there's anything you need, let Huang Guiquan take care of it, okay?"

Shi Qing bowed again, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

The two looked at each other in silence. Big Fat Ju (a nickname for the emperor) was reluctant to leave, but his eyes lingered on Shi Qing. She was still in poor health, her face was pale, and she looked like a sick beauty.

This was different from Mei Zhuang's usual behavior, and the emperor had some ideas in his mind.

Shi Qing felt a chill in her heart. Although she didn't know what the emperor was thinking, the gaze he was looking at made her feel a little uncomfortable.

"Tonight, why don't I stay..."

Shi Qing interrupted the emperor without leaving any trace, coughed lightly, and spoke seriously.

"Your Majesty, I am not feeling well yet. If I have hurt Your Majesty, I will be unable to defend myself. Please forgive my disrespect. Your Majesty, please return to the Yangxin Palace and rest."

Most of the women in the harem were vying for favor, and everyone was looking forward to a visit from the emperor. This was the first time that Fatty Orange was rejected.

He was not annoyed at all, but spoke cheerfully.

"Well, Mei'er, you should have a good rest."

After saying this, the emperor left Xianyue Pavilion.

After he left, Caiyue looked at Shi Qing with a frustrated expression. She sighed softly, somewhat puzzled.

"My lady, everyone in the harem is waiting to see you make a fool of yourself. Why don't you firmly grasp the emperor's heart? Only in this way can you gain a foothold in the harem."

Shi Qing remained silent. Caiyue followed Shen Meiyu into the palace just to fight for glory. Naturally, she could not bear to see her master so depressed. If something happened to her master, they, the servants, would definitely not have a good ending.

Caiyue understands this better than anyone else.

Regarding the maid who is extremely ambitious, Shi Qing says that it would be better for her to just give in and help Huanhuan clear the obstacles. Wouldn't it be good to just lie down and become a concubine in the end?

"Caiyue, you don't have to say anything. I have my own plans. You and I grew up together, and what happened now is something I cannot tolerate. If the emperor believed me, why would he humiliate me in front of the concubines in the harem?"

Caiyue looked at the young lady with heartache, but didn't say a word in the end.

Forget it, as long as the master is happy, there is no need for a servant to say more. She is the master's most trusted maid, so of course she cannot hurt the master's feelings.

When Shi Qing sent Caiyue out, she lay in the jade bath. The petals beside her were so beautiful that they made her look even more radiant.

Both Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang are top beauties, both in appearance and family background. However, Meizhuang has a strong personality, while Huanhuan is more resilient.

[Host, the plot has progressed to the point where Noble Lady Fucha suffers a miscarriage, Noble Lady Wan is scratched by a cat, and is discovered by the harem to be pregnant.]

Shi Qing frowned. If the news of the fetus in Huanhuan's belly were to be exposed, it would not be good for anyone, because many people had died in vain because of that child, and Chun'er was one of them.

The most important thing is that An Lingrong will take the opportunity to give Zhen Huan some scar-healing glue. Musk is put in the scar-healing glue, which will penetrate into her bone marrow along with the wound. It will be difficult for her to keep the baby in her belly, and she will eventually have a miscarriage.

Speaking of which, the scar-removing glue has a strong medicinal effect, and the most important thing is that she must stop An Lingrong from getting close to Huanhuan.
