The Queen has arrived: An Lingrong does not want to fight in the palace after her rebirth

However, the smell of Huan Yi Xiang was so overbearing that Zhen Huan almost vomited and was unable to recite a complete sentence.

Concubine Hua's face was as gloomy as water could drip. She took into consideration that Fang Ruo had already been very kind to Zhen Huan, but she did not expect that Zhen Huan would provoke her again and again. The look in her eyes when she looked at Zhen Huan was as sharp as a knife, but the words had already been spoken, and she could not change them, so she had to look at Concubine Cao.

As soon as Concubine Cao saw the look in her eyes, she knew that something bad was going to happen. In her opinion, the purpose of punishing Zhen Huan today had been achieved, and it was not appropriate to create any more trouble, so she shook her head slightly.

Hua Fei glared at her hatefully, then turned her gaze to Li Bin. Li Bin was enjoying herself watching Zhen Huan make a fool of herself, but when she received Hua Fei's murderous gaze, she froze in her seat. Hua Fei glared at her again in dissatisfaction, and seeing that she still didn't understand, she turned her gaze to Zhen Huan. Only then did Li Bin understand, and when she was about to speak, she heard Zhen Huan's intermittent voice:

"My Lady, I am indeed feeling unwell today. I will accept this punishment. Can I wait until I feel better before I accept the punishment in your palace?"

As soon as these words came out, the anger that Concubine Hua had suppressed for a long time burst out: "Wanpin, I am thinking of you because you are pregnant, and I have taken care of you in every way, but you have repeatedly provoked me by relying on the baby in your belly. If you give birth to a prince one day, won't everyone in this palace have the surname Zhen?"

This was so heartbreaking that Zhen Huan could no longer hold back and retorted, "Although the Imperial Concubine is angry, I have to say that what I am asking for is not for myself, but because the fetus in my belly is related to the ancestral temple and the country. There are also the Emperor and the Empress Dowager in the harem. The Imperial Concubine's suggestion that the harem should follow the Zhen surname really makes me panic. Please think twice."

When Zhen Huan was speaking, she kept her hands on her chest to calm her down, trying to make the nausea subside. Seeing that she was really uncomfortable, Concubine Jing came out to plead again: "Your Highness, what Wanpin asked for is reasonable. Huanbi has learned her lesson today. I think she will be more careful in her words and deeds in the future. Please understand Wanpin's hardship in pregnancy and forgive her punishment in the future."

Shen Meizhuang and Chun Changzai also knelt down and begged for mercy. Fang Ruo was about to speak, but Li Concubine's sharp voice suddenly rang out:

"Your Highness is under the Emperor's order to manage the six palaces, but you change your orders every day. How can you convince people? Sister Jingfei is trying to put you in a bad situation. I think Wanpin's morning sickness is because the fragrance in the palace is too strong. Wouldn't it be better to change the place where she is punished?"

Concubine Hua then rolled her eyes in satisfaction and said, "Then let's move outside the palace and continue to be punished."

When these words were spoken, the whole palace was shocked.

Concubine Jing tried to dissuade her: "Your Majesty, it's sunny outside and the granite is hard. Wanpin is pregnant and cannot kneel there."

Chun Changzai followed up and said, "My Lady Imperial Concubine, Sister Wan has been feeling unwell these past few days and cannot stay in the sun."

Shen Meizhuang said firmly: "If your majesty insists on doing this, and Wanpin's dragon fetus is in danger, the emperor and the queen will definitely punish your majesty when they return."

Fang Ruo also looked directly at Concubine Hua: "My Lady, if you really want to do this, aren't you afraid that the Emperor will punish you when he returns?"

Many people tried to dissuade her, and they had formed a faction. Seeing this, Concubine Hua was furious. She wanted to do this. She wanted to see whether the emperor would stand on her side or Zhen Huan's side. She said angrily, "The palace rules are not strict, and they should be rectified. The emperor and the queen are still the same. Are you trying to threaten me with the emperor and the queen? Since you said that Wanpin is suffering from the heat, I am not a heartless person. I will have someone burn mint and mugwort leaves to drive away the heat for Wanpin. Do you have anything else to say?"

Zhen Huan now understood completely that Huanbi was just an excuse for them to lure her out. Hua Fei's real purpose was to humiliate her. Further begging would only add to her punishment. She remembered this grudge. She looked at Hua Fei with resentment:

"I accept the punishment because the imperial concubine is in charge of the six palaces under the order of the emperor, not because I am guilty. Justice lies in the hearts of the people, not in punishment." After saying this, he walked out of the hall and knelt under the scorching sun. Fang Ruo hurriedly followed him and knelt down.

Only then did Concubine Hua feel relieved. Ever since Zhen Huan entered the palace, she had suffered so much embarrassment and humiliation. Today, she finally avenged herself. And those bitches in the harem, when they heard that the Emperor was going to make her a royal concubine, they tried to curry favor with her everywhere, but when the imperial edict came down, they dared to laugh at her wishful thinking behind her back. Today, they were all dealt with.

"Move the chair to the front of the corridor and let the concubines see what happens when you disregard palace rules and despise me. And Wanpin, since you said that justice lies in the hearts of people, then read it carefully until everyone can hear it."

Then she glanced at Shen Meizhuang who was about to speak: "Whoever speaks again will kneel with Wanpin."

Shen Meizhuang swallowed her words of pleading, walked calmly to Zhen Huan's side, and whispered, "I'll accompany you." Then she knelt down.

"Sister Wan, I'm here to accompany you too." Chun'er glared at Concubine Hua and knelt down as well.

Concubine Hua looked at the three people with disdain as they laughed arrogantly: "What a loving sisterhood! Zhou Ninghai, burn some mint and wormwood, don't let them get heatstroke and faint. It's so hot. I'll take a rest first, come back and call me in half an hour." After saying that, she twisted her waist slightly and went into the inner hall to rest.

After Songzhi put the chairs in place, she gestured to everyone to come in. The concubines had no choice but to stand in the scorching sun and watch Zhen Huan being punished.

An Lingrong looked at the three people kneeling upright, feeling very complicated. She wanted to rush forward to pull Zhen Huan up, wanted to tell her not to kneel, this was a situation where the Queen was using two tigers to fight and kill someone with a borrowed knife, wanted to tell her that the Nian family would fall in more than a year, and let her be on guard against the Queen as soon as possible...

But her tongue was like a thousand-pound weight and she couldn't utter a word. She had selfish motives. Without Zhen Huan to attract the Queen's attention, how could she benefit from it?

Sister, you are right. A vicious and cold person like me is not worthy of your sincere treatment. An Lingrong covered her eyes with a cough so that she would no longer see Zhen Huan's suffering.

Huan Yi Xiang, mint and mugwort.

Summer heat, backache, vomiting, and kneeling as punishment.

Zhen Huan felt a dull pain in her abdomen, and her waist felt so sore that it seemed to break. She began to panic and said to Shen Meizhuang in panic, "Sister Mei, my abdomen hurts."

Fang Ruo immediately got up from the ground and rushed to the palace gate, shouting, "My Lady, Wanpin has stomach discomfort and can't kneel anymore. Please find the imperial physician to see her."

However, no one in the hall answered her. Zhou Ninghai came over arrogantly and pulled her away: "Fang Ruo, the master respectfully calls you aunt, and you really took the money. Accompany me to accept the punishment. There is still a quarter of an hour left. You can find the imperial physician then."

"Zhou Ninghai, if Wanpin really has any faults, the emperor will be the first one to not let you go."

Zhou Ninghai ignored Fang Ruo's warning. He sneered and said, "I only know how to follow orders. Auntie, you better wait."

The people in the corridor shuddered in their hearts when they saw Zhou Ninghai's arrogance. Concubine Hua was so cruel that even the people under her were so fearless.

Seeing Zhen Huan's face begin to turn pale, Concubine Jing again pleaded in the palace: "Your Highness, Wanpin is about to faint. Please let her go."

There was no sound coming from the hall just as before.

Here, the heat made Zhen Huan dizzy, but her stomach felt cold. Her eyes began to become dazed, and she leaned weakly on Shen Meiyu, just hoping that time would go faster. However, she couldn't resist and fell to the ground.

Before she fainted, she vaguely saw a figure rushing in and calling her, "Huan'er."
