I fulfilled the female supporting role's wish and I succeeded

On the night of the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet, the palace was brightly lit and decorated everywhere.

After three rounds of drinking, important officials in the court stood up and raised their glasses to toast the emperor.

"Your Majesty, we wish you a long and healthy life!"

"May Your Majesty be in good health and your rule be forever strong!"

The emperor smiled, slowly raised his glass and saluted his ministers.

"My dear ministers, thank you for your hard work. I will drink this cup with you, and wish that our Qing Dynasty will prosper forever!" The emperor's voice was gentle but majestic.

As soon as the words fell, a uniform response echoed in the hall: "Long live! Long live! Long, long live!"

The ministers shouted in unison, then drank the wine in one gulp. The aroma of wine filled the air, palace lanterns swayed, and laughter echoed throughout the magnificent palace.

The queen stood up gracefully and dignifiedly, raised her glass and saluted the emperor: "Your Majesty, I wish you good health." Her voice was soft but firm.

Concubine Hua smiled charmingly, her eyes moving: "Your Majesty, I offer you a toast." Her movements were light and her skirt fluttered.

An Lingrong lowered her head and smiled gently: "May Your Majesty live a long and healthy life." There was respect and tenderness in her eyes.

Concubine Jing raised her glass solemnly: "Your Majesty, I wish you all the best." Her posture was respectful and appropriate.

Shen Meizhuang stood up quietly and said softly, "I wish Your Majesty good health." Her eyes were clear and firm.

Zhen Huan raised her glass gracefully with a faint smile on her lips: "May Your Majesty enjoy eternal peace." Her voice was clear and pleasant.

Palace lanterns flickered, illuminating everyone's faces. The melodious sound of stringed instruments and the fragrance of flowers filled the air, adding a touch of elegance to the palace banquet.

The emperor nodded with satisfaction, his eyes sweeping among the concubines, and the atmosphere in the hall became more and more lively.

Halfway through the banquet, Zhen Huan looked uncomfortable and whispered to the maid beside her, "I feel a little unwell. Let me go out for some fresh air."

An Lingrong noticed Zhen Huan leaving the table. A glint flashed in her eyes, and she whispered to Qiuyue, the maid beside her, "Go see where Zhen Huan has gone."

Qiuyue obeyed the order and followed Zhen Huan's footsteps quietly.

Zhen Huan strolled along the moonlit corridors of the palace and arrived at the Tung Blossom Terrace. Just as she arrived, Prince Guo happened to approach from the other side. Their eyes met, both revealing surprise.

"Concubine Zhen, why are you here?" Prince Guo asked in a low voice.

"I'm feeling a little unwell, so I came out for a walk." Zhen Huan replied softly, "Why is Prince Guo here too?"

"I... I also want to get some fresh air." Prince Guo seemed a little embarrassed.

The two talked in low voices in the moonlight, and laughter was heard from time to time.

The Tung Blossom Terrace is filled with the fragrance of flowers, and the breeze brings coolness.

Qiuyue hid behind the flowers and saw Zhen Huan and Prince Guo being alone together.

He opened his eyes wide and held his breath, afraid of being discovered.

After the banquet, the Emperor walked over to Zhen Huan and asked with concern, "I didn't see you just now, are you feeling unwell?"

Zhen Huan smiled gently and replied calmly, "Your Majesty, I am indeed feeling a little unwell. I went out for a walk and saw a flower called Xiyan, which was in full bloom and very beautiful."

The emperor nodded when he heard this, a look of satisfaction on his face.

Two days later in the afternoon, Concubine Hua hurried to the outside of the Yangxin Palace.

Su Peisheng walked quickly into the palace and saluted respectfully to the emperor: "Your Majesty, Concubine Hua is requesting an audience outside the palace."

The emperor raised his head, frowned slightly, and put down the red brush in his hand. His eyes swept across Su Peisheng's face, then looked at An Lingrong beside him, as if he was thinking about something.

The hall was silent for a moment, with only the scent of sandalwood rising.

After a moment, the emperor slowly spoke in a low and majestic voice: "Let her in."

Su Peisheng bowed in response, turned around and walked quickly towards the palace gate.

Concubine Hua pushed the door open and walked in, her face filled with anxiety. She quickly walked up to the emperor and knelt before him, saying, "Your Majesty, I have something important to report."

The Emperor put down the memorial in his hand and looked at Concubine Hua: "What is so urgent?"

Concubine Hua raised her head, tears in her eyes. "Your Majesty, Wen Yi has been vomiting milk since last night. Everyone in the Imperial Hospital has examined her, but they are helpless. I...I am really worried."

Upon hearing this, the Emperor frowned, "What's going on? Why did it happen so suddenly?"

Hua Fei sobbed, "I don't know either. Wen Yi was always in good health, how could she suddenly... Your Majesty, you must save Wen Yi!"

The emperor stood up and paced back and forth.

After a moment, he stopped and said to Concubine Hua, "Go back and take care of Wen Yi first. I will summon the director of the Imperial Hospital to discuss countermeasures."

Concubine Hua kowtowed repeatedly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Your Majesty!"

When the emperor heard about Wen Yi's condition, his face became solemn and his brows furrowed.

He slammed the table and shouted, "Pass on my order to thoroughly investigate this matter! Make sure to find out everything Wen Yi has eaten!"

Zhang Mi, the director of the Imperial Hospital, took the order and left without delay. They checked everything Wen Yi could touch and finally found something unusual in the water chestnut soup.

Zhang Mi, the director of the Imperial Hospital, knelt outside the Yangxin Palace, sweat on his forehead, and replied, "Your Majesty, we have discovered that cassava flour was mixed into the water chestnut soup that Wen Yi ate. This cassava flour can easily cause poisoning if not handled properly."

Upon hearing this, the emperor's eyes suddenly flashed with anger, and he shouted sternly: "How dare you! How dare you poison the palace!"

The emperor's eyes blazed with fire, his voice thundering, "Investigate thoroughly! Who dared to use tapioca starch in the palace?"

The head steward of the Imperial Household Department knelt on the ground, sweat on his forehead, his voice trembling, "Your Majesty, I have already checked. Recently, only Sui Yuxuan has received cassava flour from the Imperial Household Department."

The Emperor's body trembled upon hearing this, and a flicker of disbelief flashed in his eyes. He clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white, and spoke in a low, dangerous voice, "Are you saying... Concubine Zhen?"

The steward lowered his head, not daring to look the emperor in the eye. "Yes, Your Majesty. So far, only Miss Hua Yan from Suiyuxuan has received cassava flour."

After a long moment, the Emperor turned around, his eyes flashing with complex emotions. "Pass on my order. Bring Concubine Zhen and Hua Yan to the Yangxin Palace immediately."

The Emperor slowly turned around, staring at Zhen Huan with a sharp gaze, and said in a low and authoritative voice, "Mrs. Zhen, do you have anything to say?"

Zhen Huan looked up suddenly, a hint of panic flashed in her eyes, and then she regained her composure.

She slowly stood up and bowed deeply to the emperor, her voice trembling but firm: "Your Majesty, I am innocent! I will never harm Wen Yi!"

Tears glistened in her eyes, her face was as pale as paper, and her hands were tightly clutching her sleeves, her knuckles turning white.

The emperor's brows were furrowed, his eyes scanning Zhen Huan's face, as if searching for clues to the truth. The atmosphere in the palace was solemn, and even the sound of breathing could be heard clearly.

Zhen Huan knelt again, her forehead touching the ground. "Your Majesty, please understand! I am truly loyal to Your Majesty. How could I have done such a treasonous act?"
