After Prince Guo was reborn, Zhen Huan became invincible

After hearing what Shen Meizhuang said, Zhen Huan finally felt relieved. Fortunately, Sister Mei was fine.

Shen Meizhuang told Wen Shichu to leave the palace first. After all, it was not appropriate for a man to stay in the harem for too long.

Afterwards, Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang walked towards Jingren Palace together.

Gyeongin Palace

The queen sat at the desk, holding a brush in her hand, feeling extremely happy. She knew that Concubine Qi had not taken any action for a long time, which meant that she was about to lose control of her impatience and impulse.

The queen smiled slightly, feeling secretly proud in her heart. She felt that her plan was developing in the expected direction.

As she thought about these things, she continued to write poems. Her handwriting was smooth and elegant, and every stroke contained her emotions.

She believed that as long as Concubine Qi could not help but take action, she would fall into the trap she carefully designed.

By then, everything will go according to her plan, and she will successfully consolidate her position and eliminate those who pose a threat to her one by one.

"Empress, Imperial Concubine Xi and Concubine Hui request to see you." Lanxiang stepped forward to report.

When the Queen heard Lanxiang's report, she paused with her pen in her hand, and the unfinished stroke was cut halfway.

The queen paused for a moment, but recovered in an instant. She put down the brush in her hand and said, "Tell them to wait for me in the palace."

"Yes!" Lanxiang took the order and went out.

Soon the queen looked at the two people in front of her with a scrutinizing look in her eyes.

"Long live the Queen!" Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang bowed respectfully in unison.

"Get up, how come Concubine Xi and Concubine Hui have time to come to my palace today?"

Shen Meizhuang said, "Your Majesty, I have something important to report."

The queen looked at Shen Meizhuang quietly, waiting for her next words.

Shen Meizhuang turned to look at Caiyue beside her: "Caiyue, take out the cakes."

Caiyue was holding a plate of cakes. The Queen thought the cakes were normal. Shen Meizhuang looked at the Queen and said, "Queen, Cuiguo sent me a cake today. This cake was made by Concubine Qi herself, but it contained something that could kill the fetus in my belly."

The queen frowned, her pupils shrank, and she cursed Concubine Qi in her heart: [Fool, it's really useless to keep her here, it's better to get rid of her now to avoid affecting the bright future of the third prince. ]

She cursed angrily, "This Concubine Qi is so bold that she actually did such a heinous thing."

Zhen Huan looked at the Queen's pretentiousness and said, "Queen, Huipin is fine today. I asked Doctor Wen to check the problem with this pastry. If she really eats it, the fetus in her belly will be in danger. If the Emperor punishes her, it will be a capital crime for murdering the Dragon Descendant."

The Queen still said calmly: "What Concubine Xi said is absolutely right. This matter is by no means a trivial matter. Once I have investigated the whole matter, I will certainly give Concubine Hui an explanation. I will handle this matter myself."

Shen Meizhuang looked at the queen's calm and composed expression and was somewhat unable to figure out what she was thinking.

The queen had already made her decision.

Zhen Huan looked at the Queen quietly, with a barely perceptible sneer on her lips.

"I'm leaving!" Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang left Jingren Palace hand in hand.

Shen Meizhuang raised the question in her mind: "Huan'er, what exactly is the Queen up to?"

Zhen Huan held Shen Meizhuang's hand to comfort her, and whispered, "Whatever medicine the Queen sells, if she doesn't give you an explanation, we will report it to the Emperor immediately."

Shen Meizhuang nodded in agreement: "Yes."

Changchun Palace

Concubine Qi was anxiously waiting for news of Shen Meizhuang's accident in the palace. She asked Cuiguo beside her impatiently: "Cuiguo, have you delivered your cakes to Concubine Hui?"

"Yes, but I couldn't stay for long, so I didn't see Huipin eat it with my own eyes."

Concubine Qi said to herself, "That's not right. Logically, there should be some movement after eating."

She turned around and seemed to ask Cui Guo, "Um... maybe I didn't add enough?"

Cuiguo comforted her softly, "Don't worry, madam. Let's wait a little longer."

At this time, Zhou Laifu, the head eunuch in the Queen's palace, came to Concubine Qi's palace.

Zhou Lai Fu was Jiang Fuhai's apprentice. Since Jiang Fuhai's death, Zhou Lai Fu replaced Jiang Fuhai's original position as the head eunuch.

Zhou Fuhai bowed to Concubine Qi and said, "Your servant greets Her Majesty Concubine Qi!"

Concubine Qi said, "Get up."

Zhou Laifu stood up and said, "Mrs. Qi, the Queen asks you to go to Jingren Palace immediately."

Concubine Qi's expression suddenly became panicked. Her intuition told her that it must not be a good thing for the Queen to call her at this moment.

She turned her eyes and asked, "It's time for the Queen to have dinner. What do you want me to do?"

Zhou Laifu ignored Concubine Qi's words and said, "The Queen summoned me urgently, so it must be something important. Please come in, Queen."

Concubine Qi followed Zhou Lai Fu to Jingren Palace with a nervous heart.

Gyeongin Palace

Concubine Qi entered the hall cautiously and saw the Queen sitting alone on the couch, with all the palace maids and eunuchs having been sent away.

"Long live the Queen!" Concubine Qi bowed respectfully.

The Queen raised her eyes and looked at Concubine Qi, her face showing majesty without anger. As she looked at Concubine Qi, she was thinking about what she was going to say to her next.

"Your Highness, why hasn't your Queen had dinner yet at this hour? There's not even a maid by your side to serve you."

"Kneel down."

The queen glared at her, and Concubine Qi was shocked and didn't know what she had done wrong, so she shouted again: "Queen."

Seeing that Concubine Qi was still standing with an innocent look on her face, the Queen raised her voice and said again, "Kneel down."

Concubine Qi immediately knelt on her knees, waiting for the Queen's decision.

The queen said with a look of disappointment: "I didn't keep anyone around because I wanted to save your face."

"Otherwise, if the news gets out, you will be dead without a burial place."

Concubine Qi still looked confused and whispered, "What is the Queen saying? I don't understand."

The Queen said coldly, "You don't understand? What good things are in this plate of cakes you sent to Huipin?"

Concubine Qi's heart skipped a beat and her body trembled. She said stubbornly, "I did give this cake to Concubine Hui, but of course it was with good intentions."

"Good intentions? I have already asked Doctor Zhang. Purslane and hawthorn are put in here, as well as musk. Musk can cause miscarriage."

Concubine Qi was horrified. How could Concubine Hui tell the difference? There was nothing wrong with the pastry. Concubine Qi could only pretend she didn't know and said, "I didn't know there was musk."

The Queen angrily swept the teacup on the table towards Concubine Qi.

Concubine Qi screamed in fear: "Ah..."

"Do you know that purslane and hawthorn are extremely cold for pregnant women? You want to kill both mother and child... You are really capable."
