Shen Meimei recalled the scene in Legend of Zhen Huan in which Sun Yingzai and the madman were described as "making love with each other, not knowing what heaven and earth were". The scene was so vivid.

She asked Sun to agree to come out just because she hoped that lovers could eventually get married.

"Okay, in that case, I can let you leave the palace. Are you willing?"

Sun Da Ying was so excited that she kowtowed repeatedly. She had never thought that she could leave the palace. Although the emperor had passed away, as the emperor's former concubine, she never dreamed that one day she would be able to leave the palace.

"I am willing. Thank you, Queen Mother!" Sun agreed and knelt down to express his gratitude.

Concubine Xin couldn't sit still any longer, she whispered in Shen Meimei's ear:

"Empress Dowager, are you going to set the concubines free?"

Shen Meimei nodded:

"The emperor is gone, and we sisters don't need to fight anymore. Why do we need so many people in the harem? Why not let them go? They can also help the Qing Dynasty expand its branches and leaves. What's wrong with that?"

With the example of Sun Da Ying, the concubines who wanted to leave stood up one after another, knelt down one by one, and expressed their willingness to leave the palace.

Shen Meimei did not force it. She gave them rewards one by one and sent them out of the palace.

When most people had left, Concubine Ying sat on the chair motionless, as if she was worried about something.

Shen Meimei asked everyone to leave, leaving only Concubine Ying. She looked at this charming girl, who was only twenty-two years old.

"What's wrong with you? Do you want to leave the palace too?" Shen Meimei asked.

"Empress Dowager, I don't want to leave the palace, but I want to raise Yuan Che and do my best for Prince Guo!" Concubine Ying knelt down, tears streaming down her face, making people feel pity for her.

It turns out that she also likes Prince Guo. Zhen Huan, Ye Lan'yi, Yu Yin, and Meng Jingxian all like the suave Prince Guo, but unfortunately, all of them are gone.

"Okay, I promise you! Take Yuan Che back to Prince Guo's mansion and live a good life! Don't tell the child about the grievances between adults, let him grow up in a peaceful environment."

Concubine Ying knelt down to thank the emperor for his grace.

The concubines in the harem left or dispersed, and after a month, only Concubine Xin and Shen Meimei were left.

"Alas, it's a pity that I only have a daughter. If I also had a prince by my side, I would go out and live in the palace. How wonderful it would be to be free!" Concubine Xin still loved to tell jokes.

"Do you really think so?" Shen Meimei asked.

"Yes, the Queen Mother will not let me raise Hongzhan and Lingxi, right?" asked Concubine Xin.

Shen Meimei smiled and nodded:

"Recently, I have been busy with government affairs. I feel very tired taking care of Hongxin. Adding Hongzhan and Lingxi, I really can't take care of them all. I would like to ask Sister Xin to take the trouble to register Hongzhan under her name, okay?"

"Okay, okay! I have nothing to do all day! In the past, the sisters would fight over the emperor, but now everyone is gone and there is nothing to do. I am really upset! Thank you, Queen Mother, for your help!"

Concubine Xin knelt down and bowed respectfully to express her gratitude.

Shen Meimei helped her up and told her:

"Hongzhan is not in good health, so you should be more careful on weekdays! When he is older and can start his own residence outside, you can follow him and enjoy your old age!"

Concubine Xin looked very happy.

Ever since Shen Meimei took over the entire Qing Dynasty, she felt that the job of emperor was too hard. It was even harder than the previous 996 days and it was simply a cruel 007.

Every day she would first go to the Yangxin Palace to review memorials, and also check Hongxin's homework. She was busy all day and very tired.
