Concubine Chen and Concubine De suddenly began to quarrel endlessly. The Queen finally became pregnant and cherished the child very much. She had no energy to mediate the open and secret struggles between the two concubines.
Concubine Chen cried and asked the emperor to make the decision for her. Zhao Yanchen did not punish Concubine De for the sake of the eldest prince. The most important reason was that it happened so long ago that no evidence could be found here.
Imperial Doctor Jiang only said that his skills were not very good, but he could tell that Concubine Chen was in poor health.
Zhao Yanchen directed all his anger at Doctor Jiang, and then fired him from his post and gave him a beating.
However, thanks to Concubine De's secret mediation, Doctor Jiang was not seriously injured, and after leaving the Imperial Hospital, he had a lot more silver in his pocket.
…
"When was Lord Jiang bribed by Concubine De?"
Tu Yufan remembered that Imperial Doctor Jiang was Concubine Chen's confidant for many years, and Concubine Chen had absolute trust in him, otherwise someone else would have discovered the health problem long ago.
Zhou Zhang said quietly, "If Jiang You betrayed Concubine De for Concubine Chen, do you think Concubine Chen would protect him? But since he betrayed Concubine Chen for Concubine De, he has escaped unscathed."
Tu Yufan thought so too. It was said that when Concubine Chen entered the palace, she was just a concubine. She didn't know how to manage a household, nor did she understand human relationships. Therefore, even though she was favored in the harem, her reputation was always bad.
Later, Concubine Chen was favored and rose to the position of concubine step by step. Because she had a smooth journey, she became spoiled and did not know her place. She treated the palace maids and eunuchs with contempt and did not pay much attention to them. Little did she know that as a master, she had to use both kindness and severity to truly gain their loyalty.
In the end, the matter ended with Concubine De being confined to her home and fined one year's salary, but everyone knew that Concubine Chen would not let it go.
It all depends on who has better skills.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Concubine De was much more powerful than Concubine Chen, and Concubine Chen was infertile, so she would most likely be surpassed by Concubine De in the future.
But in the plot, the eldest prince passed away a few years later, and Defei's personality changed drastically due to grief, and she no longer had the desire to compete for favor. Later, she grew old and lost her beauty, and finally ended up alone and lonely.
In this harem, there is no so-called winner.
......
Qinzheng Hall
Zhao Yanchen looked at the letter on the table with uncertain mood. This was the letter that Chen Fei had received from a mysterious person before.
He remembered the letter he received when he was hunting before, with exactly the same handwriting.
It’s this guy again!
He compared the handwriting of all the people in the palace, but found nothing. Moreover, this person came and went without a trace, and there was no trace of him at all.
This person knew more about what was going on in the palace than he did. If he wanted to kill him, it would be easy.

Tu Yufan returned home.
"Husband, I think I'm pregnant." Jinjun suddenly said shyly, "I haven't had my period recently, and I feel a little nauseous when I see food."
Tu Yufan was startled and reached out to grab his wrist and feel his pulse.
"Yes, she is indeed pregnant."
Tu Yufan thought about the fate of the future, Jinjun should be pregnant, and with twins, a boy and a girl.
Later, Concubine Ding used the twins as a threat to force their husband to work for her.
When Jinjun found out, she was overjoyed and tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep. Tu Yufan thought that the queen was about to give birth.
Tu Yufan took a few days of sick leave in advance.
A few days later, news came out that the queen had died in childbirth. No one expected that under such cautious circumstances, there would be two deaths and one body.
The emperor was naturally furious, and he beat and killed batches of palace maids, eunuchs and imperial doctors.
"I heard that the Empress was in good health, but suddenly she had a hemorrhage." Zhou Zhang also sighed: "I heard that the pulse case has been taken to the clan house. Yufan, it's a good thing you took sick leave. Looking at the situation--"
Tu Yufan continued his words: "Looking at this situation, any dog passing by should be caught and beaten with fifty sticks."
Zhou Zhang: “….”
Zhou Zhang thought to himself: What kind of words are these? But this metaphor is quite appropriate.
As long as the superiors don't like you, they will skin you alive even if you just pass by.
"I heard that your wife is pregnant?"
"Yes, it's a slippery pulse. It's been more than two months."
"When the time comes, I want your aunt to hire someone familiar to help take care of her. She will be alone at home and have no one to take care of her."
