The person who was most angry and anxious about Zhen Huan's favor this time was Concubine Hua.

Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang have been a close friend since they entered the palace. Now, one of them is trying to steal her favor, and the other is trying to steal her power in the palace. Concubine Hua hates them so much that her teeth are itching.

Now that Zhen Huan is the favorite concubine, it is not easy for Concubine Hua to get rid of her immediately, but she can still vent her anger on her good sister.

So Shen Meizhuang fell into the water in a magnificent manner, on the day when Zhen Huan played "The Resentment of Xiang Fei".

This matter caused quite a stir.

Wen Yuan and Concubine Xin lived opposite the Xianfu Palace, so naturally they heard it.

Seeing that Wen Yuan had lit the lights, Concubine Xin put on some clothes casually and came to the main hall with her hair loose.

"Is my sister awake?" Seeing Wen Yuan sitting on the bed with an unhappy look on her face, Concubine Xin asked.

"I'm already tired of listening to 'The Lament of Concubine Xiang' in the Sui Yuxuan in the back, and it's so noisy across the street too. How can I not wake up?" Wen Yuan pouted in the direction of Xianfu Palace in annoyance.

"Concubine Wan is really... Never mind. But Concubine Jing has always been well behaved. It must be Shen Meizhuang. She and Concubine Wan are the ones jumping around the most recently."

Concubine Xin had long disliked Shen Meizhuang. They were all concubines, and Shen Meizhuang was an untitled concubinage, so why was she the only one allowed to learn palace affairs? Concubine Xin was so jealous that she was about to burst with jealousy!

"They've made such a big fuss, and we're so close, it's only right that we go and have a look. But my sister is pregnant, and I'm really worried that someone might take advantage of the situation, so I'll trouble you to go over there."

"That's exactly what I was thinking. It's so lively, why shouldn't I go and take a look? Anyway, I've been woken up by them. Then, sister, you can take a rest. I'll be back soon."

Different from Concubine Xin's attire, Concubine Hua's makeup and hair were neatly arranged, and even the soup was ready.

After watching the lively scene, Concubine Xin looked at Concubine Jing with pity, and Concubine Jing shook her head and sighed in return.

Who made her deal with such a troublemaker? He can't even have peace at night.

Everyone knows that the palace is not safe. If you don't come back and go to bed early at night, and go to watch the fish, won't this give others an opportunity to take advantage of you?

Concubine Xin watched the whole event from beginning to end. When she came back and saw that Wen Yuan's light was still on, she told her about the situation in Cun Ju Tang.

Although Wen Yuan already knew the plot, she was still speechless after listening to it again.

"Mrs. Shen looked very smart before, why is she so..."

"I think Concubine Shen was not very smart before. Since she entered the palace, she has acted like a fool. If she lets someone like her manage palace affairs, she will make mistakes and anger the public sooner or later!"

I have to say that Concubine Xin is very far-sighted.

Shen Meizhuang is out of touch with worldly affairs and has no idea or care about how difficult life is for her subordinates, otherwise she would not have come up with the "good idea" of separating and halving the amount and canceling the mung bean soup.

The gossiping sisters chatted for a while, but it was really too late, so they dispersed and went back to sleep.

Not long after this incident, Yu Ying'er's poison jar also came online.

After Zhen Huan told the story of her wish in Yimei Garden, Yu Ying'er went offline. Zhen Huan thought there was someone behind Yu Ying'er, so she planned with Shen Meizhuang and her little follower An Lingrong to take advantage of Yinzhen's absence to perform a ghost show in the palace.

The queen's spies were spread throughout the palaces, so naturally they also received the news.

As long as Hua Fei can be severely injured, the Queen will naturally cooperate.

The Queen also had another idea, which was to take the opportunity to abort Wen Yuan's child, and then she could blame it on Concubine Hua, which would be killing two birds with one stone.

Since it had nothing to do with her, Wen Yuan originally planned to stay out of it.

It was just that not long after Noble Lady Fucha fainted, the Queen said that she would invite all the concubines to have a chat in Jingren Palace late at night, and then go to Baohua Palace to pray together. At that time, she would invite a shaman to perform a water ritual to exorcise the ghost.

Wen Yuan didn't believe her at all.

This vicious woman must be coming for her.

In that case, don't blame her for causing trouble.

In the evening, Wen Yuan and Concubine Xin went to Jingren Palace together.

"I haven't seen Lady Yue for a long time. Her belly is getting bigger and bigger. Is it seven months now?"

"Your Highness, it has been seven months."

"Noble Lady Yue is a blessed woman. She became pregnant soon after serving the emperor in the emperor's bedchamber. In three months, a little prince will be born. You should also learn from Noble Lady Yue and help the emperor to have children." The queen looked kind.

"Yes." The concubines answered in unison, and at the same time, their eyes turned to Wen Yuan's belly. Wen Yuan received a lot of malicious looks.

Wen Yuan knew that the Queen was instigating a fight in the harem. It would be a good thing if someone took advantage of the chaos to attack Wen Yuan. If no one did, she would have a backup plan.

However, since she has been used as a target by the Queen, Wen Yuan will not let her go so easily.

"I am not as lucky as the Empress. The Empress gave birth to the Emperor's eldest son. Although the eldest son was not so lucky and died at the age of three, he at least had the title of the eldest son. Later, he was very lucky to be promoted from the eldest son of a concubine to the eldest son of the emperor. If the eldest son was still alive, the Empress would have had a grandson. But the Empress should not give up. There are many women in the folk who are still giving birth at the age of fifty. Compared with them, the Empress is still young. She can drink the pregnancy medicine so that she can have a legitimate son."

After Wen Yuan spoke, the atmosphere in Jingren Palace became extremely quiet.

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. Even the three troublemakers, Zhen Huan, Shen Meizhuang, and An Lingrong, looked at each other, seeing shock in each other's eyes.

For a moment, I didn’t know whether Wen Yuan was stupid or really tough.

I don't understand why she is targeting the queen like this. Is there some hidden secret?

The queen could no longer pretend to be virtuous and generous, and pointed at Wen Yuan angrily, "Noble Lady Yue, how dare you talk about the legitimate son!"

Wen Yuan touched her bulging belly and pretended to be innocent. "It was not the Empress who first mentioned the offspring and blessings. I was just following the Empress' words. But don't worry, Empress. Although the eldest prince died young, he will not be lonely in the underworld. After all, there is Empress Chunyuan, the second prince, Concubine Gan, Princess Miao, and many other heirs who 'accidentally' passed away. They will all accompany the eldest prince in the underworld."

"Boom——"

After Wen Yuan finished speaking, there was a loud thunder in the sky, and everyone felt a little creepy for a moment.

Perhaps what Wen Yuan said was too horrifying, or perhaps it was because the Queen would think of her late husband Honghui and suffer from headaches whenever it rained, so she covered her head in pain and cried out.

Jianqiu: "Empress!"

The lackey Concubine Qi hurried over to ask, "What happened to the Queen?"

Wen Yuan took the opportunity to throw a cheaper soul-calling talisman from the mall at the queen.

The queen already had a headache, and with the effect of the soul-calling talisman, all the wandering ghosts within a mile radius would be attracted to the queen. With so much negative energy surrounding her, her headache would surely get more and more painful every day, and she would soon meet the souls of those people she had killed.

"No, don't come over here!" The queen waved her arms, trying to stop something from approaching her, and accidentally slapped Jianqiu who was in front of her. The slap was so strong that you could tell by the swollen face of Jianqiu.

Although Wen Yuan did not use the props and talismans in the mall to open her third eye, just by looking at the Queen's current expression, it can be seen that the Queen has already seen some people's ghosts.

Hehe, it’s exciting just thinking about it.

Concubine Hua was gloating without disguising her feelings. "Did the Queen see something dirty? How come only the Queen could see this dirty thing? Did the Queen do something bad?"

The queen couldn't listen to anything humans said at this moment. She had a splitting headache and covered her head and screamed, "Ah——"

Jian Qiu: "Jiang Fuhai, go and call the imperial physician!"

Wen Yuan supported her waist and stood up, "Empress, they say that if you don't do anything wrong, you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door. I am innocent and I am not afraid of any ghosts. I won't watch the ritual. You should enjoy it alone. I think you need these things the most. My waist is sore from sitting here, so I'll take my leave first."

With Wen Yuan's departure, all the preparations made by the Queen near Baohua Palace were in vain.

Although she was gone and the Queen was ill, Zhen Huan and the others still performed the play they had prepared.

The queen had a headache and couldn't utter a word. As a last resort, Jianqiu asked the queen mother to intervene and sent the frightened Lipin to the cold palace.
