As soon as Shen Meimei finished speaking, she heard a ding-dong sound in her ear:

"Host, you will know when Prince Guo comes back! No matter what, sending Zhen Huan away first is the key! As long as Zhen Huan leaves the palace, Prince Guo will definitely not let her go!"

When Shen Meimei heard this, she felt that what Ding Dong said made sense.

She laughed and said, "I understand. Before Prince Guo comes back, let Zhen Huan fake her death and escape."

Thinking of this, Shen Meimei decided to take action in advance.

"Cai Xing, go to the Imperial Hospital and summon Doctor Wen, and tell him that I am having a heart attack!" Shen Meimei shouted to the outside of the door.

Caixing and Caiyue have become accustomed to the current young master. Although she is different from before, the current young master has a better personality and treats the servants more kindly.

In Yanqing Palace, Concubine Duan was reclining on the chaise longue, her expression revealing a hint of fatigue and worry.

She looked up at the darkening sky outside the window, and a trace of doubt arose in her heart:

"It's already so late, why hasn't Duoer come back yet?"

She pondered to herself, feeling an ominous premonition in her heart.

Concubine Duan frowned, turned to Jixiang beside her and said:

"Jixiang, go ask around outside to see if Duo'er forgot the time to return to the palace because she was having so much fun."

She instructed Jixiang in a serious tone, her eyes full of concern and worry.

Jixiang nodded and turned away quickly.

Concubine Duan sat quietly on the couch, feeling heavy in her heart.

A palace maid disappeared for no apparent reason, which made her feel very uneasy.

She began to worry whether Zhen Huan had discovered something, but if she had been caught, why was Yongshou Palace so reluctant to take action?

Soon, Jixiang came back from outside, and she said anxiously:

"My lady, I have asked around and they all say that Duo'er has never come back since she left. As for when she disappeared, no one noticed. What can we do? The weather is still so cold. If she stays out in the cold all night, she will freeze to death."

Concubine Duan was a little panicked for a moment. It seemed that Duo'er must have been discovered. She wanted to go to Yongshou Palace to see what was going on. If she was in Yongshou Palace, she would just tell the truth directly, so as not to hide it.

"Jixiang, prepare the sedan chair and go to Yongshou Palace!" said Concubine Duan.

Jixiang looked puzzled, "Madam, are you going to Yongshou Palace so late?"

"Yes, we can't delay, let's go to Yongshou Palace!" Concubine Duan said firmly.

It was already completely dark at this time. Jinxi thought that it was so late, no one would come here, right?

So she ordered the palace servants to close the palace gates and lock them up and prepare to rest.

Jin Xi glanced at Zhen Huan who had been lying in bed all day and whispered:

"My lady, I have prepared some hot water. Take this opportunity to take a hot bath and relax your body and mind!"

Only then did Zhen Huan stand up and stretch.

"I've been lying down all day, I'm really tired! Keep a close eye on that palace maid, don't let her commit suicide!"

Zhen Huan told Jing Xi that she didn't want the palace maid to die in Yongshou Palace.

"Yes, my lady, don't worry. Xiao Yunzi has arranged for people to take turns watching over her. He will never let Duoer commit suicide!"

After Jin Xi finished speaking, she helped Zhen Huan to the side hall next to the bedroom.

She prepared a large wooden barrel and put various flower petals into the water.

Zhen Huan slowly took off her clothes and stepped lightly into the tub, feeling the warm water and the fragrant aroma, as if all her fatigue was gradually dissipating.

She closed her eyes and enjoyed the moment of peace and comfort.

Just at this moment, Jixiang supported Concubine Duan and knocked on the door outside the palace.

"Empress Xi, have you gone to bed? Empress Duan is waiting outside, please open the door and see her!"
