Travel through Shen Meizhuang to open the system and walk sideways in the harem

"I'm here at a bad time?" the emperor suddenly asked. He saw many delicacies on the table that he had never seen before, so he picked up a crab and asked curiously:

"Mei'er, when did you get crabs here? This season is not the right time to eat crabs!"

Shen Meimei was embarrassed and hurried forward to explain:

"I forgot how this came about. Anyway, crabs are delicious. Since the emperor is here, please take your seat and have a meal together!"

The emperor asked Su Peisheng to set up a few more tables and put the delicious food on them one by one. He also arranged for someone to urge Concubine Duan and Concubine Xin to come.

Soon Tangli Palace became lively again. The emperor sat in the first seat, Shen Meimei sat beside him, and Concubine Duan and Concubine Xin sat in turn. Several princes and princesses also took their seats.

With the addition of children, the whole dining atmosphere became warm and sweet.

"I haven't eaten in the harem for a long time. I wanted to have dinner alone with the Imperial Concubine today, but unfortunately the Imperial Concubine invited Concubine Xin and Concubine Duan to sit together. It's really a good day. I toast to the Imperial Concubine with this glass of wine. Thank you for doing so much for me!"

After the emperor finished speaking, he tilted his head back and drank the glass of wine.

Shen Meimei's originally happy mood was dampened by the emperor's words. She remembered that she was the one who gave the poisoned wine to Yunli and Zhen Huan, and her heart became troubled again.

The emperor toasted her, and she had to drink. She could only force a smile and said, "Your Majesty, you are too polite. I am just following orders. What contribution can I make?"

As soon as Shen Meimei finished speaking, the emperor heard the resentment in her voice, and his expression changed slightly, "Royal Concubine, why do you say that? I said you have made contributions, so you have made contributions! Why do you need to be so modest?"

"That's not what I meant!" Shen Meimei defended.

"Then what do you mean?" The emperor pressed on, as if he was determined to make her say something.

"What I mean is that all this is the emperor's intention, and I am merely carrying it out. As for credit, it is the emperor's credit. How can I get any credit?" Shen Meimei made up her mind and spoke directly out what was in her mind.

The emperor was furious. He slammed his chopsticks on the table.

"Okay, you finally said what was in your heart. You resent me for killing Yunli, Zhen Huan, and Wen Shichu, right? You think I am a tyrant, right?"

When Concubine Duan and Concubine Xin saw the emperor's rage, they pulled the children beside them to kneel down and said together:

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. The Imperial Concubine did not mean that!"

Shen Meimei lost her mind after hearing what the emperor said. She really wanted to communicate with the emperor on an equal footing, instead of like now, where he was the high and mighty emperor and she was just a subject under his feet.

"Yes! I think Your Majesty is too cold and heartless. You have so many concubines, why can't you help Prince Guo and Zhen Huan?

As an imperial physician, Wen Shichu was dedicated to his duties, treating epidemics and providing medical treatment for concubines and princesses in the harem. His medical skills were so great that it would be a pity to kill him, but the emperor still killed him, causing him to suffer so much that he could not rest in peace even after his death.

Your Majesty, you are the supreme monarch who holds the power over life and death of others. Life and death is just a matter of your words.

Why can't you just let them go? I can't figure it out, and I can't understand it!"

Shen Meimei was angry. She didn't care about anything and said everything in her heart.
