The palace maid knelt on the ground trembling, with her head lowered, wishing she could bury herself in the ground. She didn't dare to look up, let alone speak.

Shen Meimei was angry and raised her voice again, saying sternly:

"I know you were instructed by someone, but as long as you are willing to reveal the person behind the scenes, I will forgive you! Murdering the master is a serious crime, and this will lead to the execution of all nine generations of your clan!"

She imitated the way the characters in palace fighting dramas spoke, and deliberately put on a majestic attitude, trying to scare the palace maid.

However, the palace maid was obviously not frightened enough. Her eyes rolled back and she fainted.

Jinxi quickly signaled Xiao Yunzi to drag the palace maid to the woodshed and lock her up, and told her to interrogate her after she woke up.

Shen Meimei thought about it and felt that this was inappropriate, so she asked Jinxi to immediately invite Liang Duorui, the general manager of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, to come over.

After all, who the palace maid belongs to can be found out by just checking.

Not long after, Liang Duorui came to Yongshou Palace with the personnel files of the entire harem.

Xiao Yunzi brought out the palace maid just now, and Jinxi brought a basin of cold water and poured it directly on her.

The palace maid shuddered and woke up. She saw Liang Duorui coming with the file bag and was terrified. She knelt down and kowtowed for mercy.

"Empress Hui, Chief Steward Liang, I know nothing. I just came to give you a plant!"

Shen Meimei glanced at Liang Duorui and said coldly:

"Manager Liang, is this your subordinate? Do you know what she sent today? Her green plants are poisonous. If I can't explain it clearly today, don't blame me for being rude."

Liang Duorui took out the file and looked through it carefully.

"Replying to Concubine Hui, this maid is called Duo'er, and she is a servant in Yanqing Palace. I don't know why she sent green plants to Yongshou Palace today.

"I didn't arrange it, so someone must have done it on purpose. Please forgive me, Concubine Hui. From now on, I will personally check the things I send to Yongshou Palace, and I won't dare to make any mistakes again."

Liang Duorui knelt on the ground and apologized, while Duoer was trembling with fear.

Because of Shen Meimei's time travel, the development of the story deviated greatly from the script, and she could not determine at this time whether Concubine Duan would frame Zhen Huan.

If Zhen Huan died, who would be the biggest beneficiary?

The person with the most seniority in the palace is Concubine Duan. If Zhen Huan is gone, she is most likely to become Noble Concubine Duan or Imperial Noble Concubine Duan. If a person does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. Empress Yige Dian must have this idea.

Shen Meimei couldn't help but shudder when she thought of this. Using green plant venom could kill people invisibly, and Zhen Huan had been seriously ill in recent days, so no one would suspect it.

After thinking about this, Shen Meimei waved her hand and asked someone to take the palace maid away and lock her up in the woodshed so that she could serve as a witness when she had a face-to-face confrontation with Concubine Duan.

Zhen Huan was in the bedroom, and she could hear every voice outside clearly.

After everyone left, Zhen Huan stood up. She took Shen Meimei's hand and said sadly:

"Sister Mei, if you hadn't pretended to be sick for so long, you might not be able to see the people in the harem clearly. When Prince Guo returns to the capital, I must ask him what's going on."

Shen Meimei nodded. At this moment, she didn’t know how to comfort her.

It was getting late, Shen Meimei said goodbye to Zhen Huan and returned to Sui Yuxuan. She thought over and over again, there was only half a month left, what should she do?

She patted her forehead, and immediately heard the sound of Ding Dong in her ears:

"Host, what's wrong with you? There are still 14 days left before the mission is completed, don't worry!"

Shen Meimei sighed and said:

"It's easy for you to say. We finally convinced Prince Guo to flee with Zhen Huan, but in the battle of Yanming Pass, Prince Guo did not die as planned. What should we do?"
