An Lingrong ran out of Shuiyuxuan in a panic, with a panicked look and hurried steps, as if there was an evil ghost chasing her.

Her heart was beating like a drum, a thin layer of sweat appeared on her forehead, and she looked extremely miserable.

Just then, she ran into Zhen Huan head-on.

The two looked at each other, and for a moment, the air seemed to freeze. Zhen Huan's eyes were sharp and cold, as if they could penetrate An Lingrong's heart.

An Lingrong's heart tightened, and an indescribable fear surged in her heart.

"Why are you running? It's so disgraceful in broad daylight! You're so flustered just after coming out of the Sui Yu Pavilion. Did you do something shameful?"

Zhen Huan snorted coldly, her tone full of disdain and questioning.

Although her voice was not loud, it carried an irresistible majesty.

Huanbi, who was standing next to Zhen Huan, was even more contemptuous of An Lingrong.

She had always believed that An Lingrong was of low status and not worthy of being mentioned on the same level as her master.

Seeing An Lingrong's panic-stricken look at this moment, Huanbi felt a surge of anger in her heart.

"What? The Imperial Concubine asked you a question and you dare not answer?"

Huanbi said coldly, with a hint of contempt in her eyes.

She knew that with An Lingrong's status and identity, she would never dare to be disrespectful to Zhen Huan.

However, An Lingrong seemed to have lost the ability to speak at this moment. She just stood there blankly, her lips trembling slightly, but she could not utter a single word.

Baojuan beside her quickly pulled her mistress aside and saluted:

"Greetings to Her Majesty the Imperial Concubine Xi, may Her Majesty live in peace and good health. Please forgive me, I was in such a hurry that I didn't see you, so I bumped into you!"

Only then did An Lingrong react. She said cautiously:

"Sister, I was rude just now, please forgive me!"

Shen Meimei sat idly in the main hall for a while. When the imperial physician came in to check her pulse, she quickly went back to bed.

Zhen Huan entered the bedroom and saw Shen Meiyu lying there. She was worried and walked forward in a hurry. She almost tripped over the threshold. Fortunately, Huanbi supported her.

Seeing Zhen Huan so anxious, Shen Meimei quickly got out of bed and pulled Zhen Huan in. She comforted her:

"Huan'er, I'm fine. The imperial physician came to check my pulse. I was lying down with a curtain blocking my view, so it was more convenient to take my pulse. Look how scared you are!"

Zhen Huan then smiled and said:

"Just now I saw Ling Rong rushing out in a panic. What happened?"

Shen Meimei told Zhen Huan everything she had said to An Lingrong. She hoped that Zhen Huan would reconcile with An Lingrong for her sake.

Zhen Huan was embarrassed. When she was in the most pain, An Lingrong was the most favored. Although she didn't know what An Lingrong had done to Zhen Yuandao, and didn't know that the scar-removing glue contained a lot of musk, Zhen Huan always suspected it.

"Sister Mei, if Lingrong can really show her sincerity and help me overthrow the Queen, I can consider letting her go, but when it comes to sisterly love, I can't do it!"

It seems that Zhen Huan also hates Lingrong, but with Zhen Huan's guarantee, it is more certain to persuade An Lingrong to rebel.

Now that the matter was settled, Shen Meimei felt much more at ease.

While the two were talking, a maid from Shoukang Palace came to report:

"Empress Hui, the Queen Mother is critically ill and wants to see you. The sedan chair is waiting outside!"

"The Queen Mother is critically ill, so here comes my chance. I can open the medical system and treat the Queen Mother. This achievement will be enough for me to gain a foothold in the harem!" Shen Meimei thought proudly.

Zhen Huan stood up and helped Shen Meizhuang into the sedan chair. She whispered:

"Sister Mei, you take the sedan chair and I'll follow behind. Let's go to Shoukang Palace together!"
