"Oh? Tell me." The queen asked doubtfully.

"Since we are currently uncertain about the consequences of the celestial phenomena, and the palace is now gradually becoming more peaceful, Sister Chang Concubine is a concubine who has had an affair after all. I thought it would be better to withdraw the guards of Yanxi Palace and open the palace door. Sister Changbi can be banned alone, but now this battle has made people panic, which is not good." Zhen Huan said respectfully.

"What sister Wanbi said is true, and I also think this method is safer." Concubine Jing continued.

After a moment of silence, seeing everyone looking at her intently, waiting to see her reaction, the queen finally spoke calmly.

"Since Concubine Wan and Concubine Jing have said so, I also hope that this horoscope is just a false alarm. Jiang Fuhai, go and do it."

After sitting for a while, everyone dispersed.

Silence returned to the main hall, and the queen sat quietly on the main seat. She and Aunt Chen were the only ones left in the hall.

"Ah Qing, what do you think Concubine Chang knows?"

After a long time, the queen spoke gloomily.

"I think it seems to me that Concubine Chang was ill and rushed to seek medical treatment. She just used these heart-breaking words to deceive you. In fact, she didn't know anything. She just said this in order to save the child." Grandma Chen replaced the queen. After having a cup of hot tea, he said warmly.

"You have also seen today's scene. The current situation of this palace can be said to be that there is the Yellow River in front and pursuers behind. The concubine is favored and has a son. Now the concubine position is vacant. If she is allowed to climb up, wouldn't it be possible in this harem? Do you want her surname to be Zhen?"

"So, Madam, you should plan this matter in advance and try to be foolproof."

"Don't be anxious. Only when you climb high can you fall heavy. When did Guan Bin and Chang Bin become friends? I already knew that Concubine Jing was a good person. Why did Guan Bin want to help Chang Bin? If these two people are colluding. , It’s really an eyesore to me.”

"Empress, since this is a bad start, why don't you let it go first? You are so tense every day, and I am worried about your body. The days are long, and there will always be opportunities in the future. You still have the eighth brother, don't you?" Grandma said distressedly.

"Eighth elder brother? The emperor is full of eyes for the concubine's sixth elder brother. Even the seventh elder brother of the concubine can also get a share of the pie. How has our eighth elder brother ever been favored by the emperor? What's more, the emperor will finally win. It’s because I don’t want the Eighth Prince to be recorded in my name.”

"The days are long. Your Majesty is in your prime. This matter will not be accomplished in a day. I just ask you to take care of yourself carefully. You will also have to watch the Eighth Prince ascend to the throne and make you the only Queen Mother in the Forbidden City."

"But why can't I always do what I want to do?"

Grandma Chen looked heartbroken and remained silent without answering.

In Yanxi Palace, Ging Guo ran into the inner room excitedly.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the guards at the entrance of our palace have all withdrawn, and the palace door has been opened. Everyone in our palace can come in and out on their own."

But as if thinking of something, he suddenly lowered his lips.

"It's just that Eunuch Jiang said that you still have to remain grounded, and he didn't say a time limit."

With this result, Xia Dongchun was extremely happy.

She received a message from Concubine Wan, saying that she had thought of a way to rescue her and asked her to calm down.

Although I don't have any expectations for the method Wan Bin said, I still sincerely thank her for her willingness to help in times of need.

Who would have thought that there would be good news so early in the morning? Xia Dongchun couldn't help but admire Zhen Huan from the bottom of her heart.

At noon, Xia Dongchun learned what happened. When she heard Mo Shuang say that the An family had been deprived of her title and banned from Zhongcui Palace, and that Qi Changzai had also been punished, but Wan Concubine was unscathed, Xia Dongchun secretly sighed that she was worthy of being able to overthrow the queen and go to the palace. The woman on the throne of the Queen Mother.

A few days later, the Queen Mother was really well. When everyone went to Shoukang Palace to pay their respects, they saw the Queen Mother who was in good spirits.

Chun Guiren and Rui Chang were chatting with the Queen Mother, but Wan Bin was the only one who remained silent.

"Wan Bin, you have been wronged this time. The Ai family sees that An is so cautious and restless. It's hard for you to be friendly to her on weekdays." The Queen Mother noticed Wan Bin's silence.

"Thank you, Queen Mother, for your concern. This concubine's grievance is minor. I heard that the Queen Mother's illness this time has the same symptoms as my concubine. I have been thinking about it all the time. Sister Hui has always been the most filial to the Queen Mother. If I let my sister know about it, I'm afraid she will be killed." I am serving you without my clothes on. I have failed to honor my sister's trust and failed to honor the Queen Mother." Zhen Huan said sincerely.

"You are also concerned. You are still ill, and you still think about the Ai family. Hui Bin's child made a mistake and has been grounded for some time now. The emperor has too. Small punishments and big warnings are all. What's the big deal? Put a woman of such a perfect age in that room."

"Sister Hui Bin made a mistake and deserves to be punished. But if my sister learns that the Queen Mother is unwell, I don't know how anxious she will be." Zhen Huan answered respectfully.

"When it comes to filial piety, Hui Bin's child is the most caring. Forget it, Wan Bin, you can take the Ai family's token and go see her for the Ai family later." The Queen Mother sighed.

"I thank the Queen Mother for her kindness on behalf of my sister. My sister must also miss the Queen Mother very much." Zhen Huan said happily.

The Queen stood aside, her face changing again and again, but finally she smiled and listened quietly.

"Your Majesty, I will serve you to drink the medicine. It's time for you to take a rest after drinking the medicine," the Queen said sagely.

Everyone bowed and left knowingly.

Zhen Huan couldn't hold back her inner joy, and ordered Jin Xi to go back to get the winter clothes and charcoal fire that had been prepared for Sister Mei, and then she hurriedly drove to Zhongcui Palace in a sedan chair.

She and Sister Mei have not seen each other for more than a month, but now that they are seeing each other, their eyes are filled with excitement.

Passing by the side hall where Ling Rong lived, Zhen Huan stopped for a moment, feeling quite complicated. Did Sister Mei move her to Zhongcui Palace that day? Didn't she want to protect her? He has never treated her badly, but the three of them have ended up in this situation.

I made up my mind to tell Sister Mei about Lingrong so that she could be on guard.

When the two met, Shen Meizhuang cried with joy. Zhen Huan looked at Sister Mei who had lost her former grace and shed tears of distress.

Holding hands and refusing to let go, the two sat down together and said a lot of thoughtful words. They finally stopped crying and calmed down, and finally talked about what happened the day before yesterday.

After hearing this, Shen Meizhuang was silent for a long time before slowly speaking.

"Lingrong gave me a sachet to soothe my nerves and help me sleep. I secretly showed it to Dr. Wen. There was musk in it, and the dosage was quite large."

"What?" Zhen Huan was shocked.

"I was already in confinement at that time. It was you who sent Dr. Wen to check my pulse, so I took out the sachet that had been idle for a long time. Maybe it was difficult to identify because it had been there for a long time, so Dr. Wen took it back to the hospital to identify it carefully. It took a few days to send someone to deliver the message. I wanted to tell you to be careful about the mausoleum, but it was heavily guarded and I couldn't find a chance."

Zhen Huan looked at Sister Mei in disbelief and was speechless for a moment.

"Now that I know who she is, I look at her from afar. It's only my fault that you and I don't understand people well, so we have wasted so much love." Shen Meizhuang comforted her.

"Okay, I have good news to tell you." Shen Meizhuang suddenly said with a smile on his face.
