Chapter 195 Concubine Duan’s Thoughts
"Your Majesty, why did you tell them this? If the Empress finds out, she will definitely not let us off the hook."
After everyone left, Jixiang asked Concubine Duan in confusion.
She has been with the Empress for so many years and has a clear understanding of many things in the palace. The Empress has worked hard to reduce her presence over the years so as not to be implicated in many things, but what she said today completely touched upon the interests of the Queen.
Concubine Duan didn't care at all, she just smiled softly.
"Why do you think Concubine Hua suddenly mentioned the time at the palace just now? It's obvious that she has already started to prepare to take action against the Queen, and Concubine Xi has always been of the same mind as her. I think they had already discussed these things when they came to my Yanqing Palace, and they were just waiting for me to speak."
Concubine Duan is a smart person. If not, she would not have been able to stay safe until now after taking the blame for the royal family.
She actually knew a thing or two about the secret moves in the palaces, but she knew that she didn't have the ability to overthrow the queen in one fell swoop. It wasn't until Zhen Huan entered the palace that everything changed.
The situation in the palace has become more delicate, and she can see the current situation clearly.
Nian Shilan and Zhen Huan are now obviously more powerful than the Queen, and she has also discovered that they have begun to secretly investigate those things that happened in the past, so why not give them a helping hand.
In this way, not only can he gain their favor, but he can also make the queen's power collapse sooner.
"Your Majesty sees clearly that it is Jixiang who is clumsy."
In fact, Concubine Duan was not wrong. What happened today was intentional by Nian Shilan.
"Sister Hua, it's exactly as we thought. Judging from what Concubine Duan just said, Chunyuan was so favored by the Emperor after she entered the palace, and even allowed the Empress to accompany her when she was pregnant. How could the Empress remain indifferent?"
On the way back to the palace, Zhen Huan learned that Lingxi went to Yikun Palace to play with Shuhe, so she went to Yikun Palace with Nian Shilan.
"Sister Huan, we must be even more cautious from now on. The closer we get to the truth, the more anxious she'll become. We must prevent her from taking desperate measures, especially the children. They must not be left alone in the days ahead."
Nian Shilan reminded Zhen Huan that all her sisters now had children, and they had to consider their safety no matter what they did.
"I know, I will handle it carefully."
Zhen Huan also knew very well that the next period of time was the most critical. If they failed to win this time, they would most likely suffer even more crazy revenge from the Queen.
After returning to Yongshou Palace with Lingxi, Zhen Huan sat alone in the room for a long time.
She went over in her mind all the relevant information she had found during this period, and they now had some evidence of many of the things the queen had done before.
But, no, there is still the most crucial thing missing, something that can completely make the emperor lose all tolerance for her, and that is the matter of Queen Chunyuan. This is the most important part of the whole thing.
"Liu Zhu."
"My Lord, what's the matter?"
Liu Zhu, who was guarding outside, immediately walked in as soon as she heard Zhen Huan's shout.
"Yuyan hasn't been here for a long time recently. I asked you to go to the Imperial Hospital and ask Doctor Wen if he said anything."
Ever since Yuyan gave birth, she would bring her child to Yongshou Palace to stay for a few hours every once in a while. But this time, it had been such a long time, and Yuyan did not appear in Yongshou Palace as usual. In addition, it was a sensitive period recently, and Zhen Huan always felt uneasy.
"My lady, I went to the Imperial Hospital to ask Doctor Wen. According to Doctor Wen, Yuyan has been taking care of the young master at home these days. The young master caught a cold a few days ago and has a poor appetite. Yuyan is so worried that she can't sleep at night."
Liu Zhu reported to Zhen Huan everything she heard from Wen Shichu.
"How is the child now? Is he feeling better? If there's anything he needs, ask Doctor Wen to get it from me and give it to him. Please take good care of him."
When she heard that Yuyan's child was feeling unwell, she immediately became extremely worried.
"Don't worry, my lady. I have spoken to Doctor Wen. Please rest assured that Doctor Wen will take good care of Yuyan and her child."
"That's great. I feel relieved to have Doctor Wen taking care of me."
"My lady, Concubine Hui is here."
Just then, Jinxi walked in from outside.
"Please come in."
Just now when she was at Concubine Duan's place, she was busy listening to Concubine Duan talking about the past, and she didn't have time to chat with Shen Meiyu. Now when she heard that Shen Meiyu was here, a hint of joy immediately flashed in her eyes.
After Shen Meizhuang arrived, she walked straight to Zhen Huan and sat on the couch.
"I just saw you go to Sister Hua's palace to pick up Lingxi. I also happened to go back to see how Jinghe was doing, so I didn't accompany you. After seeing Jinghe, I was bored in the palace, so I thought of coming to your palace to sit for a while. I hope I didn't disturb you."
"How could that be? How could there be a saying between us sisters that we should not disturb each other? Whenever Sister Mei comes to my place, I am very happy."
Zhen Huan took Shen Meizhuang's hand and patted it gently.
"It's almost time for dinner, so please stay with me, sister. It's been a while since we two sisters have eaten together."
After having children, their daily time is always divided among the children, and there are not many opportunities to chat and eat together alone like this.
"That's why I came here. I've tried Liu Zhu's cooking before and really liked it. Today, I came here to enjoy your delicious food."
Chen Meizhuang was not as polite as Zhen Huan.
"Thank you for your praise, Madam Hui. I just made some new flavors of pastries today. Madam Hui will definitely want to try them."
Liu Zhu loved cooking, and she was very happy to receive praise for her food. Without waiting for them to say anything else, she happily ran out to prepare the meal.
"Liu Zhu is becoming more and more lively now."
Both Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang were amused by Liu Zhu's actions, and they enjoyed the meal very happily. At this moment, they put aside all their worries and simply enjoyed the beauty of the moment.
