The Empress of Zhen Huan Reborn

When Zhen Huan was about to have breakfast, she saw the emperor coming back. She was very impatient in her heart, but she looked ecstatic on the surface, "Why is the emperor back?"

The emperor was also very pleased to see Zhen Huan's joy, and said with a smile, "It's still early after I finish my audience, so I will come back and have dinner with you."

Zhen Huan quickly served the emperor a small bowl of shredded chicken and meat porridge, "Your Majesty, please try it."

The emperor took a bite and nodded, remembering Su Peisheng's report yesterday about the musk deer under the crabapple tree in Suiyuxuan, and said, "The queen has been in poor health recently. When you and Concubine Shen are free, learn more about managing the affairs of the harem."

After hearing this, Zhen Huan immediately knelt down and said, "I have only been in the palace for a short time, and my qualifications are very shallow..."

Before Zhen Huan finished speaking, the Emperor interrupted her, "It's okay. If you have little talent, just learn more. Mei Zhuang is steady, and you are quick-witted and sensible. I'm relieved to leave it to you two."

After that, the emperor didn't say anything else and ate his meal quietly. Zhen Huan didn't refuse anymore. After the emperor finished his meal, he left a message saying "I still have government affairs to attend to in the Yangxin Palace. I'll come to see you another day." Then he walked out of the palace.

After Zhen Huan saw the emperor leave, she stood up. When she went to pay her respects to the empress, Su Peisheng came to Jingren Palace and told everyone in the harem what the emperor had said to her in the morning.

For a moment, all kinds of envy mixed with jealousy and scrutiny swept towards Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang.

The Empress Dowager also expressed her approval and said that if the two of them encountered something they did not understand, they could come to Jingren Palace at any time and ask the Empress Dowager for guidance.

After Nian Shilan returned to the palace, she thought about the emperor's actions today and was afraid that he had found out who was behind Lin Musk. So she summoned Shen Meiyu and Zhen Huan on the pretext that she was familiar with the trivial matters of the six palaces and that the queen was not feeling well.

Everyone in the harem thought that Concubine Hua was dissatisfied with the fact that the palace affairs were in the hands of Shen Meiyu and Zhen Huan, and wanted to make things difficult for them, so they didn't take it seriously and just waited to see the joke.

Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang were chatting in Sui Yuxuan when they saw Song Zhi coming over.

"Your servant greets Concubine Shen and Concubine Wan. My queen invites you two ladies to have tea in Yikun Palace." Songzhi knew that there were many spies in the palace, so she deliberately acted in an arrogant manner, and her greeting to the two of them was not very respectful.

Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang looked at each other and quickly stood up and said, "Okay, Aunt Songzhi, please."

After arriving at Yiku Palace, Songzhi was guarding outside the palace, and only Nian Shilan, Shen Meizhuang and Zhen Huan were in the room.

They were all allies, so there weren't that many rules. Shen Meizhuang and Zhen Huan bowed and sat down on their chairs.

"I summoned you here today because the emperor wants you to learn how to manage the affairs of the six palaces." Nian Shilan said after taking a sip of tea.

Zhen Huan was the first to speak: "My Lady, is there anything wrong with this?"

Nian Shilan nodded, "If my guess is correct, the reason why the emperor asked you two to manage the harem is probably because he found out that the musk deer in your palace was the queen's handiwork, and he is dissatisfied with the queen, so he wants to use you to compete with the queen."

Shen Meizhuang asked in surprise: "The musk under the crabapple tree in Suiyu Pavilion was actually made by someone arranged by the Queen?"

Nian Shilan nodded indifferently: "Do you know the noble lady Fang who lived in Suiyuxuan before?"

Zhen Huan said, "I have heard a little bit about it."

Nian Shilan laughed sarcastically and continued, "At that time, Concubine Fang was also quite favored in the harem, on par with me. When she was in great favor, she unexpectedly became pregnant, and the emperor was very happy. The emperor graciously allowed only her to stay in Suiyuxuan. Later, when she was more than four months pregnant, the emperor and the queen left the palace and let me take charge of the affairs of the harem. Concubine Fang came to my palace to pay her respects, but she had a stomachache not long after drinking water. In the end, the imperial physician diagnosed that she was poisoned. Not only did she lose the child, but she also hurt herself."

Nian Shilan saw that Shen Meizhuang was listening to her seriously, while Zhen Huan looked thoughtful. So she asked, "Concubine Wan, what do you think?"

Zhen Huan was interrupted by Nian Shilan's question, so she had to speak: "I just think that the Queen is very scheming. She left the palace with the Emperor to clear her suspicion, and she had a miscarriage in the Queen's palace, which made the Emperor suspicious of you. It's like killing two birds with one stone. The fisherman benefits from the quarrel between the snipe and the clam. She is really very scheming."

Nian Shilan smiled and nodded, "You are right. There is no one in the harem who is so capable and proficient in pharmacology. Apart from our gentle and virtuous queen, I am afraid there is no one else like her."

After Shen Meizhuang heard this, she couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart. The Queen always managed to refresh her perception of her. She was ruthless and had no bottom line when doing things.

Nian Shilan looked at Shen Meizhuang's expression and knew that she understood, so she said, "That's why I told you to be more careful from today on. The affairs of the six palaces should be just a formality, and should not be touched if possible. Before you are fully grown, don't offend the queen easily. She is far more ruthless than you think."

After hearing this, Shen Meizhuang and Zhen Huan nodded repeatedly to show that they understood.

At this moment, Shen Meizhuang couldn't hold back any longer and retched, "Ouch...Ouch..."

Zhen Huan and Nian Shilan looked at each other. Could it be that someone had attacked Concubine Shen?

Because of Nian Shilan's rebirth and Zhen Huan's dream about her past life, they did not do many things the same way as they did in their past lives, so according to the butterfly effect, some changes occurred. In her previous life, Shen Meizhuang had experienced fake pregnancy to win favor, so Zhen Huan and Nian Shilan did not dare to take it lightly.

"Songzhi, go and call Doctor Wen, we only need Doctor Wen!" Nian Shilan's anxious voice came from the hall.

When Songzhi heard this, she didn't bother to ask any further questions and hurried to the Imperial Hospital.
