Chapter 69 The Queen Becomes Suspicious

[How come this has become a dog-skin plaster that can’t be thrown away? ]

Songzhi also realized that her own queen hated Zhen Huan because of her.

In the harem, it is not easy to have multiple loyal servants, and Songzhi does not want the queen to push Shen Guiren away easily.

She advised, "During the days when the queen was ill, Noble Shen served by her bedside day and night, working tirelessly and without complaint, and never asked for credit in front of the emperor. You know her feelings, queen."

Nian Shilan pouted and said impatiently, "She must have something to do when she comes here now. Let her in."

Songzhi was delighted and said, "Yes, Madam."

She walked to the door and said to Shen Meizhuang, "Mr. Shen, the queen wants you to come in."

Shen Meizhuang took the brocade box from Caiyue's hand and followed Songzhi into the hall.

"What difficult issues have you encountered in the palace since you came here today?"

"In reply to your Majesty, the harem is under the control of the Empress and you, your Majesty. It is not my turn to make decisions. If I have other matters, I need to tell your Majesty."

Shen Meizhuang opened the brocade box and presented it to Nian Shilan with both hands.

Inside is a pair of gold thread sachets.

[Hey, what's going on today? Everyone comes to Yikun Palace to give gifts. ]

Nian Shilan thought he looked familiar. "Mr. Shen, why don't you come to visit me for no reason? Just tell me what you want to say."

Shen Meizhuang squatted down, "Zhen Changzai ran into the emperor in the Yu Garden. The emperor felt sorry for her illness and gave her some gifts. Zhen Changzai remembered the queen's kindness to the harem and knew that the queen loved to use incense, so she specially chose this and asked this concubine to present it to the queen."

[No wonder it looks so familiar, it turned out to be a gift from the Emperor.]

[The world is really mysterious. I will never give her any gifts in this life, but she comes to me and shows me her courtesy.]

[What? You know that the dog emperor gave me a scented sachet to prevent my having no offspring, so you specially sent me a scented sachet for me to wear every day. Is this to prevent my offspring completely? ]

[You two bastards! You both have bad intentions! ]

Cut off all descendants!!!

The emperor only gave one thing: Huan Yi Xiang!!!

Is there something wrong with the Huan Yi Xiang that the Emperor gave to the Empress?

The poor child of the Empress was actually killed by the Emperor?

What a vicious man! He was jealous of the Nian family's power and could even harm his own flesh and blood!

Shen Meizhuang originally agreed to speak well of Zhen Huan in front of Concubine Hua, but she didn't expect to flatter the wrong person and didn't know how to explain it for a moment.

Nian Shilan flicked her handkerchief and said, "What kindness have I ever done for her? Just stop causing trouble for me in the future. There's no need to pretend to flatter me."

Speaking of false flattery, Nian Shilan thought of Zhen Huan's habit of acting.

In the previous life, Xianyue Pavilion’s night visit to Shenmeizhuang was a good example.

[You haven't even accepted the emperor's favor yet, but you have to act like a wise man to him? 】

[Humph, you bastard, you want to plot against me? ]

[In her previous life, Zhen Huan said that Shen Meizhuang and she grew up together, so they naturally share the same aspirations.]

Nian Shilan suddenly looked at Shen Meizhuang with sharp eyes: [Seeing that your sister is favored, you want to turn against me and join forces to harm me? ]

[It’s really unbelievable! ]

"Shen Meizhuang, I am giving you some face because you are respectful, but please don't be so arrogant and rude!"

Shen Meizhuang realized that the Queen had misunderstood Huan'er and herself because of something in her past life, so she squatted down immediately.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I have no other intentions towards you, and Huan'er has no intention of harming you. Originally, Huan'er should have delivered the sachets herself, but she has been ill for a long time, and you have just recovered from a cold, so she was afraid that you would be sick, so she asked me to deliver them to you first."

"I don't lack these things."

Shen Meizhuang wanted to say a few more words, but then she heard Concubine Hua say in her heart:

[I am annoyed when I see this. If you don’t take her things and get out of Yikun Palace, I will punish you too! ]

"It was my fault today. I hope Your Majesty will take care of yourself and not get angry with me."

Shen Meizhuang's first attempt to connect Zhen Huan with Concubine Hua failed.

The same news reached Jingren Palace, Jiang Fuhai said that a new head maid was transferred to Suiyuxuan.

"Isn't it from the Ministry of Internal Affairs?" The Queen put down the book in her hand, thought for a moment, and said, "Is it from Fang Ruo?"

Jiang Fuhai: "The Queen is wise."

"How could it be her?" Jianqiu frowned, "If Fangruo wasn't the one who originally served..." the one who served Queen Chunyuan.

"In this harem, every woman can be a figure, except Fang Ruo, who is a relic."

The queen smiled slightly and stood the book up again. "Sister, all the lifeless dead things are in the palace storehouse. Only this living thing is in front of the emperor."

Jianqiu asked Jiang Fuhai to go down first. Only the master and servant were left in the hall. Jianqiu lowered her voice and said:

"Your Majesty, is this a move that shows you are treating Concubine Wan as a substitute for Empress Chunyuan?"

"If you are spoiled, you will die. Isn't this a good thing?"

What the Queen meant was that in the eyes of the Emperor, Zhen Huan was gone, and only Rouze was left.

Jianqiu hesitated and said, "Madam, I have something to say, but I don't know if I should say it or not."

"Why do you have to do this in front of me?"

"The Emperor promised that you would be promoted to Consort after you gave birth to the eldest prince. However, as soon as the eldest daughter entered the palace, she took away your Consort position. Now there is another one, and the Emperor gave Fangruo directly to her. Will he..."

Will there come a day when even the throne of Queen will be given to Zhen Huan because of Chun Yuan?

The Queen paused as she was turning the page: Cui Jinxi is far inferior to Fang Ruo. Will the change at the beginning make Zhen Huan move towards a more…

She shook her head again, "No, the Queen Mother will not let the throne of Queen fall into the hands of anyone other than the Ulanara clan."

"But the Empress Dowager knew that Wan Changzai looked similar to Empress Chunyuan, and knew the Emperor's feelings for Empress Chunyuan, yet she still insisted on letting Wan Changzai enter the palace."

Yes, it was the Queen Mother, not the Emperor, who allowed Zhen Huan into the palace.

Wait, how could it not be the emperor?

The queen was confused: "Your Excellency..."

Jianqiu Zhenzheng said: "My lady, it's Changzai, it's Changzai Wan."

"Wan Changzai?"

"Yes, she has not yet entered the emperor's bedchamber. According to the ancestral system, it is not appropriate to confer a title on her. The emperor only gave her a title."

"Title?"

The Queen remembered that Concubine Hua had said that in her previous life, when Zhen Huan entered the palace, she was given the title "Wan". In this life, Concubine Hua also specifically mentioned this title. Why didn't the Emperor give her this title in the end?

You have to know that during the palace selection, he was the one who saw Zhen Huan's appearance clearly.

How could you change your mind when you loved her so deeply and treated her as a substitute?

Also, why did he let Zhen Huan go to Sui Yuxuan?

Are you afraid of something?

Questions popped up one after another, the queen's heart beat faster, and a more terrifying idea popped into her mind.
