"Sister Mei, I naturally can't bear to let go of our friendship of so many years. But ever since you gave birth to Princess Jinghe, I feel that you have changed so much. I can't help but have this guess. Please don't blame me." Zhen Huan expressed all the doubts she had for the past two months.

Shen Meimei knew that if she couldn't dispel Zhen Huan's doubts, it would be almost impossible to complete the task later.

She smiled and explained:

"Huan'er, it's my fault for hiding the fact that I know medical skills. In fact, I have been learning medicine from my master since I was a child and I am proficient in medical theory. But as the eldest daughter of the family, although I have great medical skills, I have to hide it and be a lady praised by everyone.

If Shengjing and the princess had not nearly lost their lives, perhaps I would never have practiced medicine again in this life.

Huan'er, we have been sisters for many years, when have I ever lied to you?"

Shen Meimei spoke sincerely, looking directly at Zhen Huan. Eyes are the windows to the soul, and sincere gazes can enhance the other person's sense of trust.

Zhen Huan then held Shen Meimei's hand tightly and said softly:

"Sister Mei, I have wronged you! From now on, sisters will be of one mind and will not be separated from each other."

Shen Meimei breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the data above Zhen Huan's head had increased from 20% to 100%.

Time passed quickly, and the empress dowager's coffin was buried after seven days. The emperor burned incense and prayed every day to express his grief.

According to the ancestral system, when the empress dowager passed away, the emperor had to observe mourning for three years. However, considering the actual situation, the emperor observed mourning for thirty days instead of months. After a hundred days, the entire palace returned to normal.

The Queen in Jingren Palace fasted and chanted Buddhist scriptures every day. She knew in her heart that the Emperor was waiting. He would definitely settle the score with her a hundred days after the Queen Mother's funeral.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was the Lantern Festival, and the Forbidden City also welcomed a heavy snowfall.

The snow fell very heavily. Goose feather-like snowflakes fluttered down from the sky, covering the entire Forbidden City in a thick layer of white.

At this time, the Forbidden City no longer had the hustle and bustle of the past, but only silence and peace.

The red palace walls and yellow glazed tiles look particularly beautiful against the backdrop of white snow. Walking on the stone pavement in the palace, the "creaking" sound under your feet makes you feel peaceful and at ease.

The palaces and pavilions in the distance were covered with snow, with only a few outlines showing, like sleeping giants.

The trees in the palace were covered in silver, and the branches were hung with crystal clear icicles, like exquisite pieces of art.

The sadness brought by the empress dowager's death gradually faded away with a heavy snowfall.

The system task gave her six months to complete, but during these three months she was in mourning for the Queen Mother, so she had no chance to take any action at all.

The emperor, Zhen Huan, Prince Guo and others were all busy mourning and had no time to talk about love.

Shen Meimei could only wait patiently. She paid close attention every day, but there was never a better opportunity.

After the Lantern Festival, the emperor began to purge the Queen's party. All members of the Ulanara clan were given idle positions, which was a promotion in name only and a demotion in reality. It was equivalent to the court paying some money for these people's retirement.

The queen also calculated the time herself. She knew that what was coming would eventually come.

The gate of Jingren Palace slowly opened, and several palace maids and eunuchs walked in. The dazzling light of the snow made it impossible for the queen to open her eyes.

Su Peisheng shouted:

"Please ask the Empress to go to the Yangxin Palace. The Emperor is waiting! Someone, help the Empress to the sedan chair!"
