The emperor has been taking elixirs more and more frequently recently, including the Red Pill and the Jiji Pill. As long as they are pills made by the Taoists in the Old Summer Palace, the emperor takes two pills each morning and evening on time.

Shen Meimei felt a little melancholy. The emperor was taking pills so desperately that he had no time to prepare for the locust plague.

Coupled with the rumors in the palace, Shen Meimei was very annoyed, so she had to write a letter to Prince Guo, asking him to hatch a large number of poultry outside and make preparations in advance.

She also asked her father who was far away in Shandong to organize the folks in Shandong to actively raise ducks. Each family that raised more than 200 ducks would be rewarded with ten taels of silver.

Shen Meimei went to her own small warehouse, which contained rewards from the emperor, the empress dowager and others over the years, as well as gifts from the concubines in the harem.

She tidied up the small warehouse, sold everything that could be sold, and raised as much silver as possible.

"Your Majesty, why are you doing this? Even if there is a locust plague next year, the civil and military officials will find a way to deal with it. Why do you have to spend all your money to encourage the people to raise ducks?"

Jinxi felt sorry for her master. After doing so much, she was still misunderstood.

"How could I not know? Money is something outside of one's body, stop talking, and sort these out quickly. Also, sell the things that Ling Rong packed from the Yanxi Palace at that time and convert them into silver. Let's see how much silver we can get?"

Shen Meimei watched the small warehouse being gradually emptied, and she sighed in her heart, if it were in modern times, everything here would be antiques and would be much more valuable.

It's a pity that she can't take them back. She can only do her best to exchange them for silver to save more people.

Here, Shen Meimei was tidying up the warehouse, and Su Peisheng came in a hurry.

"Empress Hui, something terrible has happened! The Emperor has fainted in Chunxi Palace!"

Su Peisheng ran quickly, sweating profusely, and spoke breathlessly.

Shen Meimei disagreed, "The emperor fainted, so naturally the imperial physician will come over. Why should I join in the fun?"

"I'm telling you the truth. Your Majesty, this is not the time to be angry. You should hurry to the Yangxin Palace to stabilize the situation.

The Queen is in Jingren Palace, and she will probably get the news. Whoever controls the Yangxin Palace at this time will have the initiative!"

Su Peisheng was anxious. He had rich experience in palace fighting and he and the emperor had experienced the turmoil of the nine princes competing for the throne.

Shen Meimei is young after all, and when Su Peisheng reminded her of this, she suddenly came to her senses.

She immediately put down the work in her hands and rushed to the Palace of Tranquil Longevity.

Some concubines had gathered outside the Yangxin Palace, and some were already kneeling on the ground crying.

As soon as Shen Meimei arrived, everyone bowed and said, "Greetings to Imperial Concubine Hui, may your Majesty live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years!"

"Everyone, please get up. Don't crowd around the entrance to the Yangxin Palace. The emperor needs to rest. How can you be so wailing?

Pass on my oral order, immediately seal off the imperial city, have Prince Xuan Guo and Prince Shen enter the palace, and have Zhen Heng, the leader of Xuan's personal army camp, come to see me immediately. There must be no mistakes!

Dear sisters, except for Concubine Duan and Concubine Xin, all others should return to their own palaces. No one is allowed to come out without my permission."

As Shen Meimei spoke, she reached out and pulled out a guard's knife, and continued:

"If you disobey my order, don't blame me for not remembering our former sisterhood!"

After saying that, she slashed the knife hard on the ground several times.

When the concubines saw that Concubine Hui was ready to kill someone, they all fled in panic.

Only then did Shen Meimei throw the knife to the ground and quickly entered the Yangxin Palace.

In the bedroom, the emperor lay quietly, and the imperial doctors took turns to feel his pulse.
