Chapter 35: Slap the Emperor’s face!

Shen Meizhuang knew that it was thanks to Concubine Hua's timely arrival at the Suiyu Pavilion that Zhen Huan was able to receive treatment. Otherwise, Zhen Huan would have died long ago, with a high fever and being harassed by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Others may not know how kind Concubine Hua was to Zhen Huan, but Shen Meizhuang knew it.

Although she didn't know why Concubine Hua didn't explain to others, it was a fact that Concubine Hua did help Zhen Huan.

Therefore, Shen Meizhuang would definitely not laugh at Concubine Hua for not having children like Concubine Qi and others.

Concubine Hua thought of her revenge on Shen Meiyu in her previous life and felt quite guilty. But when she saw that she was willing to comfort herself in front of so many people, she felt even more grateful to her.

"If Concubine Shen is free, please come to Yikun Palace often. I have seen that Concubine Shen is meticulous and steady in her work, and she is much better than me in handling the trivial matters of the six palaces."

Shen Meizhuang replied modestly: "It's all because of your good teaching."

The Queen couldn't help but feel jealous when she saw them chatting so affectionately. In fact, ever since the Emperor gave Concubine Hua the power to assist in the management of the six palaces, the Queen felt like she had a thorn in her throat.

The more power and favor Hua Fei had, the greater the threat she posed to the queen. And Hua Fei never took her queen seriously, so the queen hated Hua Fei to the core.

However, the emperor of the previous dynasty could not do without Nian Gengyao. In the harem, in order to appease Nian Gengyao, the emperor would definitely not neglect Hua Fei.

This is what made her, the queen, feel so frustrated.

Hearing that Concubine Hua seemed to be planning to give some of the power to assist in managing the six palaces to Shen Meiyu, the Queen couldn't help but come up with an idea.

If Shen Meizhuang replaces Concubine Hua to assist in managing the six palaces, then everything will be easy. Shen Meizhuang has just entered the palace and her foundation is not stable, so the queen can control her easily.

"Noble Lady Shen, since Concubine Hua has said so, you must learn well." The Queen smiled kindly and looked at Shen Meizhuang.

Shen Meizhuang bowed to the queen, "Yes, Queen."

After everyone left, Shen Meizhuang, worried about Zhen Huan's illness, came to Sui Yuxuan.

"Was it Concubine Hua who asked the Emperor to come see you last night?" After learning the whole story of last night, Shen Meizhuang was no less shocked than Zhen Huan.

There are not many people in the harem that Zhen Huan can talk to in confidence. Shen Meizhuang grew up with her, and Zhen Huan trusts her the most.

"Sister Mei, what do you think Concubine Hua's intention is?"

Shen Meizhuang frowned slightly and thought for a moment, "If Concubine Hua is really as jealous and domineering as the people in the palace say, then she would definitely not help you when you are sick and in trouble. It is even more impossible for her to take the initiative to let the emperor come to see you."

Zhen Huan looked at Shen Meizhuang in confusion, "Sister Mei, what you mean is that Concubine Hua is not the kind of person the rumors say she is?"

Shen Meizhuang hesitated for a moment and said something ambiguous.

"Maybe not. But, I'm not sure. However, I believe that time will tell. I still have a long time in the harem, and I will eventually see what kind of person Hua Fei is."

"I hope so. Concubine Hua has the support of General Nian and the favor of the Emperor. If she has no intention to harm us, it would be fine. But if she does, then our life in the harem will be very difficult."

Seeing Zhen Huan was worried, Shen Meizhuang quickly held her hand and said, "Fortunately, we can keep each other company. We can face anything together."

Zhen Huan also held Shen Meizhuang's hand tightly.

An Lingrong heard that the emperor came to see Zhen Huan last night, and thinking that she hadn't seen Zhen Huan for a long time, she also came to Sui Yuxuan.

Liuzhu saw An Lingrong coming and was about to tell Zhen Huan, but An Lingrong joked, "No need, I want to give my sister a little surprise."

An Lingrong approached the bedroom quietly, but she heard Shen Meizhuang's words, "Fortunately, we two can keep each other company and face anything together." She was about to move forward when she paused.

"The two of us?" An Lingrong muttered to herself. What about her? What about her? Was she excluded?

She didn't want to go in to see Zhen Huan, but since she was already there, she had to go.

An Lingrong deliberately raised her voice and said, "Sister Wan, I'm here to see you."

Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang looked at each other and looked towards the door, then saw Baojuan walking in with An Lingrong.

"Why are you here, sister? It's so hot today and your health isn't very good. Why did you make this trip? Aren't you afraid of getting sick from me?" Zhen Huan glared at An Lingrong and said in a reproachful manner.

An Lingrong smiled and glanced at Shen Meizhuang.

"If I don't come, I'm afraid the two sisters will forget that they have a sister like me."

Shen Meizhuang found An Lingrong's words a little strange.

She rolled her eyes in pretended anger and said, "Rong'er is just overthinking. The three of us entered the palace together, so we should naturally take care of each other. Why do you have to be so polite?"

An Lingrong smiled unnaturally.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Qi is going too far! Isn't it just a Third Prince? What's so great about that! And he's a stupid one!" After returning to Yikun Palace, Songzhi was the first to speak up for Concubine Hua.

But Concubine Hua was numb.

She sat leisurely in a chair, drinking cold dishes.

Songzhi was very puzzled to see that she was not angry at all.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Qi is riding on your head, why don't you react at all? Or have you thought about how to deal with Concubine Qi?"

Zhou Ninghai also pricked up his ears, curious about how Concubine Hua would vent her anger. Although he did not hear Concubine Qi bullying Concubine Hua with his own eyes, he still knew how hateful Concubine Qi was from Songzhi's mouth.

"Don't worry about it. Concubine Qi will get her retribution."

Isn't it? In the previous life, Concubine Qi was used as a pawn by the Queen and harmed Zhen Huan twice. In the end, she was killed by the Queen and the Third Prince was snatched away from her.

"Retribution?" Songzhi couldn't believe that this was what Concubine Hua would say.

"Yes, retribution." Hua Fei finished the tea in her hand and said word by word.

After experiencing the vicissitudes of life, what else could she not let go of? Concubine Qi's insult was nothing.

Zhou Ninghai and Song Zhi looked at each other. They both felt that their master, Concubine Hua, seemed to have really changed.

"Your Majesty, urgent news from Qinghai eight hundred miles away!"

In the Yangxin Palace, Xia Qian, the leader of the Flying Guillotines, handed a letter wrapped in beeswax to the emperor.

The emperor took it and took a deep breath.

He opened the envelope, read its contents, and slammed his fist on the table.

"You are such a good guy, Lobsang Danjin. The Qing Dynasty treated you well, but you dared to rebel!" And he chose to rebel not long after he ascended the throne.

At that time, the late Emperor Kangxi sent the Fourteenth Prince to recover the northwest. The Fourteenth Prince lived up to Kangxi's high expectations and won victory after victory. So in the later stage of the battle for the throne among the nine princes, it was a battle between the Emperor, who was still the Fourth Prince at the time, and his younger brother, the Fourteenth Prince.

The fourteenth prince returned victoriously, with his outstanding military exploits, shocking the court and the public. If it weren't for Nian Gengyao who stopped him from entering the capital, the person sitting on the throne now might be the fourteenth prince, not the current emperor.

In order to prevent his fourteenth brother from rebelling, the emperor took away his military power and imprisoned him.

Lobsang Danjin chose to rebel shortly after the emperor ascended the throne because he was certain that the emperor would not reuse his fourteenth brother, with whom he had conflicts, but it was also a slap in the face of the emperor!
