In order to eat, I signed a contract with the system

The struggle between Zhen Huan and Concubine Hua now became more intense. Concubine Hua ordered people to steal Wen Shichu's prescription and successfully kept her position as a concubine. However, Zhen Huan was worried because Zhen Yuandao was suspected by the emperor, and was inadvertently identified by An Lingrong as someone who intended to steal her favor, and the sisters became estranged.

Not long after, Zhen Yuandao was demoted. The Queen invited the concubines to appreciate the flowers and arranged a plan for Noble Lady Fucha. Since it was the Queen's invitation, Wen Yuan could not refuse the Queen's face and also came with Nuanchun and Xiuxia.

Wen Yuan had already been given a position in the Queen's plan from the very beginning. She planned to find an opportunity to make Wen Yuan a scapegoat. She fantasized that after Noble Lady Fucha had a miscarriage, she would learn that her loss of the child was related to Wen Yuan, and then she would notify the Fucha clan. Then the two major Manchu clans, the Fucha clan and the Guwaljia clan, would start fighting. It would be even better if the Fucha clan could defeat the Guwaljia prince.

For this reason, the Queen specifically signaled Jianqiu to go forward and help Wen Yuan up when Wen Yuan came over to pay her respects. Jianqiu, who went forward to help her, had already applied medicine on her hands. This perfume powder was naturally the same medicine added to Noble Lady Fucha's perfume powder.

Noble Lady Fucha had a miscarriage caused by a cat. As the head of the harem, the Empress naturally wanted to track down the real culprit. Once she checked, she would find out that the powder in Noble Lady Fucha's hand was added with drugs that could cause cats to go crazy. When the imperial physician came to check the scene, he happened to find the same drug on Concubine Rong's sleeve. With this result, anyone with a discerning eye could tell who had harmed Noble Lady Fucha.

It has to be said that the Queen's plan of killing two birds with one stone this time was very good. If successful, not only could she abort Noble Lady Fucha's child, but she could also give Wen Yuan an archenemy and make it impossible for the two Manchu concubines to unite.

Even if the emperor knew about it, he could not punish Wen Yuan severely because she was the biological mother of the Sixth Prince. However, Wen Yuan, who could not provide evidence to clear herself of the crime of murdering the royal heir, would surely lose the emperor's favor. The emperor might even suspect that Wen Yuan was coveting the throne and eliminating dissidents, which would cause the Sixth Prince to lose his favor as well.

At first, things naturally developed normally according to the Queen's expectations. Jianqiu's work always made the Queen feel at ease. After helping Wenyuan up, Jianqiu nodded to the Queen slightly. The Queen saw the smile on her face and became more loving. She naturally turned her head and said to the people in the harem: "I see that the flowers in the Imperial Garden are blooming very enthusiastically in spring. It would be a pity not to invite everyone to see such a beautiful scenery."

"Your Majesty, you are so kind. We, your concubines, will naturally obey." Seeing this, everyone responded immediately. When no one noticed, Jianqiu behind the queen quietly retreated.

After a while, An Lingrong began to talk to Noble Lady Fucha, and with the cooperation of Noble Lady Xin, she induced Noble Lady Fucha to take out the perfume powder and apply it on her face again. Seeing this, the Queen signaled Huichun on the other side to bring out Songzi.

Wen Yuan remembered Yu Yin's teaching about staying away from pregnant women, and she wished she could stay a hundred steps away from Noble Lady Fucha. Jingpin, a smart woman in the harem, had the same idea. The two of them talked while just looking at the flowers from a distance.

Wen Yuan did not notice that there was something on her body until Jingpin discovered it with her sharp eyes. She was originally just jokingly asking Wen Yuan if she had accidentally been contaminated with some pollen, but she didn't know that Xiuxia, who was beside Wen Yuan, immediately changed her face when she heard Jingpin's words.

She didn't bother to greet him, and hurried forward, grabbed Wen Yuan's sleeve, and started sniffing in front of Jingpin.

"This is......"

Xiuxia smelled something was wrong and quickly leaned close to Wenyuan and whispered in her ear to explain the situation. Wenyuan was shocked. Just as she looked up, she saw from afar Aunt Huichun from the Queen's Palace not far away walking towards them with a shiny big white cat in her arms.

"It's definitely too late to go back to the palace and change clothes now." Wen Yuan has been in the palace for so long. No matter how naive she is, and has seen so many open and covert struggles for so long, how could she not see why the Queen held this flower-viewing banquet today?

Jingpin, who was standing by, also saw something from the changes in the expressions of Wenyuan and her servants. She turned her head to look at the koi pond not far away and reminded them unintentionally: "Spring is here, the flowers are blooming, the weather is getting warmer, and even the ice in the koi pond has melted."

Nuanchun's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she quickly reminded Wenyuan: "Madam, you can go to the pool and wash off the powder!"

Wen Yuan did not waste any time when she heard this. She smiled gratefully at Jingpin and quickly ran to the koi pond. The water in the koi pond was still some distance from the shore, and Wen Yuan and the others could not reach it at all.

Seeing that the white cat had been brought out by the Queen, and that something was wrong and was about to rush towards Noble Lady Fucha, Wen Yuan gritted her teeth and dumped it directly into the koi pond. Nuanchun was stunned, but Xiuxia reacted faster and shouted, "My Queen has fallen into the water, help quickly!"

By the time Wen Yuan was rescued by the palace servants, Noble Lady Fucha had already been knocked down by the white cat. Even Zhen Huan was secretly pushed to the side. The Queen looked at Noble Lady Fucha who was holding her stomach and groaning in pain. Although she pretended to be anxious, the smile in her eyes was obvious at a glance.

Unfortunately, everyone was paying attention to the two women lying on the ground, and no one noticed the queen's expression. The queen ordered the palace servants to invite the imperial physician and arrange for Noble Lady Fucha to go to the palace, while she began to look for Wen Yuan. As a result, she looked around but did not find Wen Yuan. The queen's face suddenly became a little uneasy, but she kept comforting herself that it didn't matter if Wen Yuan was not there. As long as they found that she had medicine powder on her body, she would not be able to escape suspicion even if she was not there. Anyway, she had already prepared the palace servants' testimony.

The Queen Mother arrived soon. Noble Lady Fucha had a miscarriage, but Zhen Huan was diagnosed with pregnancy. This time, the Queen Mother still planned to help the Queen deal with the aftermath directly, but was stopped by the Queen. The Queen actually said that she would investigate the matter thoroughly and give an explanation to Noble Lady Fucha.

The Queen Mother had no idea what the Queen was up to and was about to continue trying to persuade her when Jianqiu suddenly came in to report the news.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, the servants from Chuxiu Palace have come to report that Concubine Rong has fallen into the water. She was just rescued and has now returned to the palace. I have come here specifically to apologize."

When the Queen heard the news that Wen Yuan fell into the water, the smile on her face fell abruptly. Without the clear clue of the medicine powder, how could the palace maid behind her be caught and how could she be pried open to tell the truth?

The Queen Mother looked at the Queen's ugly face and sighed helplessly: "Let's leave it at that. I have already had the beast that hurt people beaten to death. There is no need to investigate the rest."

"What do you think, Queen?"

The queen was unwilling but had no choice. She nodded stiffly and said nothing.

The emperor returned to the palace and was overjoyed to learn that Zhen Huan was pregnant. He named Zhen Huan Wanpin. Wen Yuan was very dissatisfied with this. She felt that Zhen Huan was favored more than herself. If Zhen Huan gave birth to a prince, it would definitely affect Hongyi's status. In addition, she was almost set up by the queen to become the culprit for murdering the prince in Fucha Guiren's belly. Wen Yuan was immediately angry and scared, and quickly wrote a letter to her sister for comfort.
