Chapter 464: Legend of Zhen Huan - Nian Shilan 68
Until Zhen Huan said: "I am still hoping to give birth to an heir to the throne. I hope the emperor can pardon my father for the sake of the heir."
The emperor immediately dispelled his suspicion of her. Yes, if Zhen Huan really gave birth to a prince, he would naturally not let her become a criminal for the sake of the prince. It is impossible for Concubine Wan to give up the child in her belly in order to frame the queen.
The Queen, the Queen has never given up. It was the Queen's trick that made so many women in the palace unable to give birth to children before. It must be the same this time. It seems that her previous "tolerance" made the Queen think that she could do whatever she wanted, so unscrupulously!
"Send Concubine Wan back to Chengqian Palace first. The Queen is weak and has caught a cold, so Jingren Palace is closed."
This is a foregone conclusion, but the Queen is the Queen after all. Even if the Emperor wants to punish her, he will not do it in front of Concubine Jing and other concubines in the harem. "You all go back. This matter is not allowed to spread. I don't want to hear any more news."
The empress was unvirtuous and harmed the royal heir. The emperor was ashamed and did not want the concubines in the harem to see a joke, so he warned them again and again. After returning to the Qianqing Palace, he found out what the empress had done. The emperor became more and more upset. In the end, he did not issue an edict to depose the empress. He only cut the expenses of the Jingren Palace and dismissed many of the empress's staff.
Zhen Huan fell into a coma after returning to Chengqian Palace. The servants around her were extremely anxious and had no time to pay attention to the eunuch guarding the gate. Shen Meizhuang couldn't let Zhen Huan go after all, so she brought the best tonic to visit Zhen Huan. She happened to see the eunuch guarding the gate wandering back and forth in front of the main hall of Chengqian Palace in a sneaky manner.
"The little eunuch in front, you, yes, you, our queen wants you to come over!"
Caixing received Shen Meizhuang's order and stepped forward to stop the eunuch guarding the gate, intending to help Zhen Huan investigate whether this person was a spy. The eunuch guarding the gate recognized Caixing as soon as he saw her. After all, Shen Meizhuang had lived in Chengqian Palace before she was promoted to concubine. The young eunuch remembered that Shen Meizhuang had a good relationship with Zhen Huan.
So he came to Shen Meizhuang, thought about it and explained everything clearly, and handed the small note he received last night to Shen Meizhuang.
After Shen Meizhuang recognized the eunuch guarding the gate, she knew that she had misunderstood. She took the note in confusion, thought about it, and opened it.
All I saw written on it was: "Musk is buried under the wall of Chengqian Palace." The year was signed.
Musk again! Shen Meizhuang looked at the note and guessed that it was sent by the Imperial Concubine's people, but she didn't know when Zhen Huan had contact with the Imperial Concubine.
Fortunately, Zhen Huan woke up at this time, and Shen Meizhuang went in to comfort Zhen Huan. The two of them seemed to have returned to the intimacy they had when they first entered the palace.
"Huan'er, this was just handed to me by the little table. Someone said it was delivered last night."
Zhen Huan took the note and her eyes changed drastically after reading it, "So that's it."
"Huanbi, take Xiao Yunzi to dig!"
Seeing that Shen Meiyu's eyes were still filled with doubt, Zhen Huan paused and told her the conversation between her and Nian Shilan, omitting the words Nian Shilan said about her being similar to Queen Chunyuan and their previous confrontation, and only said that she went to ask the Imperial Concubine for the truth, and the Imperial Concubine gave her the truth.
Caiyue stood aside and felt more and more panicked the more she listened. Suddenly she thought of something, and she stepped forward to interrupt the conversation and shouted, "My queen!"
"Caiyue, what's wrong with you? So rude!" Shen Meizhuang attaches great importance to rules, and she was very dissatisfied that Caiyue interrupted their conversation today.
"Your Highness, the Imperial Concubine said that there was musk buried under the wall of Chengqian Palace, but she didn't say which wall it was. Your Highness has not been pregnant yet..."
Now Shen Meizhuang was also panicked. She understood what Caiyue meant. Chengqian Palace was divided into three directions: the east and west main halls. In addition to the main gate, there were naturally palace walls in three directions. The palace had not been repaired since they entered the palace, so the musk should not have been buried after they entered the palace.
"Caiyue, go dig!"
Shen Meizhuang took a deep breath and held Zhen Huan's hand tightly, as if to draw strength. Caiyue responded and walked towards Shen Meizhuang's previous residence.
A long time passed, so long that Shen Meizhuang's expectations were dashed. She knew that Caiyue had not returned yet, so she must have really dug up something.
"I was careless. I only remembered to ask for the medicine to help me stay pregnant, but I forgot that there was a queen in the palace who liked to use musk to harm people."
"The selection was arranged by the Queen, and the arrangement of our palaces was also decided by the Queen. No wonder no one except Concubine Jin and Huan'er has become pregnant in the three years since we entered the palace."
"The Queen's methods are hard to guard against." Zhen Huan couldn't help but sigh. She thought that those rewards scented with musk were the Queen's limit, but she never imagined that they were just the Queen's routine methods.
No wonder no matter how I took care of myself, Doctor Wen could always diagnose the presence of musk. I thought it was because the musk had not been eradicated before, and it turned out that I had been sleeping on musk.
The palace wall that Nian Shilan mentioned was naturally not any random palace wall, but the side of the palace wall closest to the bed, facing the master bedroom where Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang slept.
Not long after, Xiao Yunzi and Caiyue came back with two jars of musk, and at this time Huanbi also invited Wen Shichu over. Although Wen Shichu was only a doctor now, Zhen Huan still trusted his medical skills.
After Jian Dan and Zhen Huan made eye contact, Wen Shichu prescribed a tonic for Zhen Huan. Seeing Shen Meiyu nearby, Zhen Huan thought for a moment and asked Wen Shichu to take a look at Shen Meiyu.
"Sister Mei didn't know before, but now that she knows she's been affected by musk, she's going to see how to remedy the situation."
But obviously Shen Meizhuang was not as lucky as Zhen Huan. She was able to get pregnant twice under the influence of musk. As soon as Wen Shichu took Shen Meizhuang's pulse, his face changed and his brows frowned.
"Doctor Wen, please tell me the truth. I don't blame you."
Shen Meizhuang knew that she might have been tricked, but she still had hope in her heart, hoping to make amends. But obviously her hope was shattered, Wen Shichu directly said that Shen Meizhuang had accumulated too much musk in her body and had completely lost her fertility.
Shen Meizhuang had long lost her feelings for the Emperor and was planning to raise a child like Concubine Jing did to keep him company. But now that she had lost all hope, Shen Meizhuang was filled with hatred.
Zhen Huan's body was also affected by the two miscarriages, and she had difficulty giving birth in the future. The two of them sympathized with each other and shared the same hatred for the enemy, but when they thought that the Emperor had only confined the Queen but did not depose her, Zhen Huan and Shen Meiyu were disappointed and resentful.
"Is there really nothing we can do to her?"
Just because she is the queen, it will be okay for the queen to harm so many concubines?
Shen Meizhuang was a little desperate, but Zhen Huan didn't believe that the emperor would always protect the queen.
"No, I don't believe it. I don't believe that the emperor will always forgive the queen."
"But even the Imperial Concubine cannot defeat the Queen." Shen Meizhuang learned the truth about Nian Shilan's infertility from Concubine Jing. She felt that even Nian Shilan, whom the Emperor truly loved, could not ask the Emperor to depose the Queen. They did not mean as much to the Emperor as Nian Shilan, so naturally she had no confidence.
After hearing this, Zhen Huan could only remain silent. Yes, the Imperial Concubine was the one that the Emperor truly loved, and she could not take revenge on the Queen even though she was harmed by her. She was just a substitute for Queen Chun Yuan, and she was not even as good as the Imperial Concubine. How could she let the Emperor depose the Queen?
