Forbidden Autumn, Summer, Winter and Spring Rebirth

Chapter 73 70. Resentment
  After hearing that Nian Shilan was drinking medicine every day, the Queen suppressed her uneasiness and sent people to investigate around the Tai Hospital. Finally, she found a clue.

"What?!" The queen was so frightened that she shouted hoarsely: "You said that the medicines prepared by the two imperial doctors Jiang Cheng and Jiang Shen for Yikun Palace contained anti-fetal drugs?"

"Exactly. The person I was looking for checked for several days, and after several confirmations, I came to report." Jiang Fuhai replied with a wince.

The Queen suddenly sat down heavily as if she had relieved herself of all her strength.

"How could this happen? How could Nian Shilan be pregnant? No, it's impossible!" the queen murmured.

No matter how much she thought about it, she would never have thought that the person in the palace who was least likely to be pregnant would be pregnant at this time, and was still her nemesis for more than ten years. The queen only felt a dull pain in the top of her head and forehead.

"Ah Qing, Ah Qing, Nian Shilan is pregnant, how could this happen?" she said unconsciously.

Nanny Chen was at her wits' end at this time. She had already sent people to inquire about it. There were people from the emperor inside and outside the Yikun Palace, and they were surrounded like an iron barrel. Not even a fly could fly in. She knew something was wrong, but she I didn't expect things to come to this.

"Aqing, my head hurts so much."

The queen's headache happened again.

At this time, Shen Meizhuang was sitting quietly on the couch, looking out the window in trance.

Even though she lost power and fell out of favor at this time, and even requested to be grounded, she did not regret what happened that night.

In the past, Huan'er often advised her that Nian Gengyao was Nian Shilan's backer in the previous dynasty, so the Nian family's position could not be moved. The emperor had murderous intentions towards the Nian family, but he had to think long term, so he had to be patient.

She had endured and waited for a long time. She knew what the harem was like, and it could not be compared with the previous dynasty at all, so she just waited quietly, and as Huan'er said, consider the long term.

Is this the result of long-term planning? Even if Mr. Cao reported Zhou Minghai and had a rigorous interrogation, and all the witnesses and material evidence were available, it would still only be a reduction in rank and a grounding. Such a painless punishment?

So what's the point of her patience? She was not afraid of her Nian Shilan, she just believed in that person and believed that he would give them an explanation.

In that case, let her do it herself, Nian Shilan, you should pay some price for what you have done.

She naturally knew that it was a secret secret that no one could touch, but it was the only way she could think of to retaliate against Nian Shilan easily and directly.

She had already anticipated the consequences. So what if she bore the emperor's wrath alone? But she also knew that the emperor would never pierce the window paper. He couldn't punish her directly for this matter. He wanted to find a reason after all.

There is something wrong with some palace affairs, some problem with some accounts, just want to blame them.

At first, she had a glimmer of hope that he might turn a blind eye to the matter because of the injustice and humiliation she had suffered, and simply keep it secret at this time, so that no one else would know.

She was wrong. When he indulged Nian Shilan so lightly, she should have known that she should not expect a marital relationship with the emperor in Shenzhen Meizhuang.

One was a concubine who was arrogant and domineering, committed extremely evil crimes, and had several lives on her hands. She was demoted and grounded.

One is a concubine who made a mistake in palace affairs, seizes power, and reprimands her.

But back then, how Nian lost his son and how he was infertile, wasn't he the mastermind behind all the secrets behind this? Now let's play the role of emperor's love.

What about her punishment? Should she be punished for spying on the secrets of the harem? Or should she be punished for uncovering that fig leaf? Or punish her for hurting his beloved woman?

Ridiculous, really ridiculous.

So she requested to be grounded, which was just a silent resistance after she found out the inside story. She herself was a joke, extremely ridiculous. Shen Meizhuang was confined in Zhongcui Palace. Zhen Huan was worried, but she could only secretly say a few words to him outside the main hall.

Zhen Huan took An Lingrong to the outside of the main hall where Shenmeizhuang lived, and ordered the maid to deliver the message.

Shen Meizhuang was bored in the room for a few days. When he heard that Zhen Huan was coming, he finally thought about it.

"Sister Mei, are you okay?" Seeing that Shen Meizhuang looked bad, Zhen Huan asked eagerly.

Shen Meizhuang was not allowed to leave Cunju Hall, so he could only meet Zhen Huan from a distance and exchange a few words.

"Huan'er, I'm fine. Just take care of yourself. Don't plead for me. Lingrong does the same." Shen Meizhuang said calmly.

"Sister, you should also take care of yourself. If anything happens, ask the palace maid to report to me. Sister Wan and I will work together to find a solution." An Lingrong said anxiously.

"I've reached this point, what else can I do? I just need to take care of myself. That's all. You two don't come to me if you have nothing to do, so as not to be caught." Shen Meizhuang said with a lonely look.

"Sister, please don't think wildly. It's you who asked for the grounding this time. The Emperor may not really blame you. I believe that in a few days, my sister's grounding will be lifted." An Lingrong did not know the inside story, but still comforted her with words.

Shen Meizhuang shook his head slightly and did not answer.

"Huan'er, remember what I said to you, don't act rashly, be careful in everything. This is not the place to talk, you go back quickly." After saying that, Shen Meizhuang turned around and returned to the house.

Zhen Huan wanted to say something more, but she hesitated because An Lingrong was beside her, so she had no choice but to turn around and leave after Shen Meizhuang returned to the house.

An Lingrong noticed that something seemed to be avoiding her between the two of them, and she felt a little disappointed.

It's no wonder that Zhen Huan hid this matter from An Lingrong. It was really a serious matter and the fewer people knew about it, the better. Hiding it from her was also a way to protect her.

Shen Meizhuang was leaning on the couch, lost in thought, while Caiyue and Caixing were guarding in front of the couch, looking at her with distressed eyes.

"Caiyue, where is the soothing sachet that Lingrong sent last time?" Shen Meizhuang asked lightly.

"Your Majesty, I would like to send you a new sachet every half month, but your Majesty has never used it, so I put it away properly," Caiyue replied.

"Take it and burn it, I don't need it."

"Yes." Cai Yue felt something strange in her heart, but she didn't ask any more questions.

Shen Meizhuang was injured by musk last time, and he drank bitter medicine for many years to recuperate his body, just to conceive a boy and a half girl, but he never got it.

With the lesson learned this time, Shen Meizhuang is very cautious about any spices, and he won't touch them if he can.

She could not refuse the soothing sachet sent by An Lingrong, so she accepted it. After a brief sniff, she felt that the fragrance was indeed stronger. She once heard Dr. Wen say that most of the spices used to soothe the nerves are heart-clearing and natural, so she kept it in mind and only asked Caiyue to put it away and never take it out for use.

Today she often feels tired, and is obviously more lethargic than usual. She has been lazily unwilling to move all day long, and has occasional soreness in her waist and abdomen. She has a premonition in her heart, but she has not yet reached her little age. , so I am not sure.

He was told to Cai Yue and Cai Xing to guard the Zhongcui Palace, and to be careful with everything, especially the flowers, spices, and eating utensils sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, to be kept far away. It's best to put them all in the warehouse. Now that she is grounded again, this is what she has to do when she is most vulnerable to being plotted against. Just to protect yourself.

Since she entered the palace and accepted the favor, she has been working hard. First, she learned to handle palace affairs and received a lot of training. Later, she assisted in managing the Sixth Palace. She did not dare to relax for a day. Now that she is grounded, she can have a good rest.
