Chapter 223 You finish your song, I will take the stage
"Even the epidemic in the capital has been basically controlled, but the Yanxi Palace is still under control. Noble Lady Fucha was the first to be infected with the epidemic, so why hasn't she recovered yet?"
Shen Meizhuang also frowned when she talked about this.
Just now, an idea came to Shen Meizhuang's mind. Now that Huan'er is pregnant and there is a rift between her and the emperor, one of the three sisters must come out to receive the emperor's favor.
We can't let the Queen steal all the limelight.
"Sister, you say..." Zhen Huan was listening to Shen Meizhuang's words, and suddenly a bad thought flashed through her mind. Just as she was about to express her guess, Xiao Yunzi walked in.
"My lady, Concubine Hui, news has come from the Yanxi Palace that Noble Lady Fucha has suffered a heavy loss."
"What?!" Shen Meizhuang and Zhen Huan exclaimed in unison.
Zhen Huan just thought that Noble Lady Fucha's long-term illness was due to someone's conspiracy, but she didn't expect that Noble Lady Fucha was really in trouble.
"This is the news that Miss An asked someone to bring, so it shouldn't be wrong." Xiao Yunzi added.
The look of surprise on Zhen Huan's face has not yet subsided.
Shen Meizhuang thought for a while, then reached out and asked Caiyue to help her get off the couch.
"Now that I am a concubine, I cannot ignore the concubines in the harem. You should take good care of your pregnancy. I will go to the Yanxi Palace to see what is going on."
If Shen Meizhuang said that Noble Lady Fucha was not the victim of an ambushes during this incident, she would never believe it.
The women in the harem were always lingering on the edge of a dangerous cliff, and the pregnant woman had one foot already at the gate of hell.
The fact that both mother and daughter were able to survive was due to the tightrope walking they had to walk, and it was also because of the protection of the big tree, Concubine Hua.
Shen Meizhuang had thought about it for a long time before. The Queen Mother promoted her to the position of concubine as an exception, probably for the purpose of allowing her to check and balance the Queen.
At the time, Concubine Jing and Concubine Duan were both useless, Concubine Hua had a hot temper and could not handle the Queen's soft knife, and Concubine Qi was someone close to the Queen.
Although Concubine Qi doesn't seem to be very close to the Empress these days, her mind is only clear when she is playing mahjong.
The Queen Mother was probably aware of the Queen's secret deeds, so she promoted herself in an attempt to use her family background and character to compete with the Queen.
Jinghe still has to grow up well in the harem, and Huan'er's child must be born safely. It is one thing that she does not love the emperor, but she must create a place in this harem for the people she cares about to live.
Shen Meizhuang was sitting in the sedan chair thinking about these things. Could it be that the matter of Noble Lady Fucha was the work of the Queen again? How much did the Queen Mother know about this?
Before he could sort out his thoughts, the eunuchs carrying the sedan chair had already arrived at the Yanx Palace.
The person coming towards him was the queen who had received the news.
"Your servant pays respect to the Queen." Shen Meizhuang got off the sedan chair and bowed to the Queen.
Etiquette is ingrained in Shen Meizhuang's bones and she has never made any mistakes.
"Get up, Concubine Hui, you have also heard that Noble Lady Fucha is having trouble with her pregnancy?" said the Queen.
"Yes, that's why I came here specially to take a look. After all, Noble Lady Fucha is pregnant with the dragon descendant, and she has been ill for so long and has not recovered. It is a big deal." Shen Meizhuang lowered her head slightly and did not look directly at the queen.
"As soon as Concubine Hui was promoted to the position of Concubine, she was able to take on the responsibilities. It's much easier to have you here." The Queen forced a faint smile, "But I heard that Noble Lady Fucha has not recovered from the epidemic, so Concubine Hui still has to be careful."
As the queen spoke, she reached out her hand to Jianqiu behind her, and Jianqiu handed a face towel to the queen.
"Please wear it, Concubine Hui. You still have to take care of the princess, so don't let her get infected with the plague."
Shen Meizhuang respectfully took the face towel and thanked the Queen.
But the scarf was only held in the hand and not covered in front of the face.
This queen is really good at showing off. For such a long time, An Lingrong and Chun Changzai, who have lived in the same palace with Noble Lady Fucha, have always been at peace. What does she have to be afraid of?
Shen Meizhuang followed the Queen into the main hall of the Yanx Palace, and was greeted by a bloody smell.
Think about it, Concubine Fucha is really pitiful. She got pregnant twice in the past two years, but she couldn't keep the baby.
The last time such a pungent smell of blood wafted from the Yanx Palace, Huan'er and the emperor met by chance in the Imperial Garden, and Huan'er became the emperor's favorite.
Today, Noble Lady Fucha suffered heavy bleeding again, and Huan'er was named Wanpin because she was pregnant.
In this harem, it's really like one person finishes singing and another person comes on stage, there's never a moment of rest.
"Your servant pays respects to Her Majesty the Empress and Her Majesty Huifei." An Lingrong and Concubine Chun were already standing in the hall.
Since Noble Lady Fucha was ill, the two of them had to come out and talk to her. After all, Noble Lady Fucha was the one with the highest position in the Yanx Palace.
When Fang Chunyi heard that something had happened to Noble Lady Fucha, she ran out despite her nanny's attempt to stop her. When she saw that her sister An Changzai was not wearing a mask, she forgot about the matter.
Now seeing the queen with her face covered, it took me a moment to remember that the Yanx Palace was still under lockdown due to the epidemic.
However, since she hasn't been infected with the epidemic for so long, Chun'er doesn't care too much about it.
"How is Noble Lady Fucha?" The Queen sat on the couch and asked towards the inner room.
"Your Majesty, the imperial physician is treating the patient inside." An Lingrong replied respectfully.
"Which imperial physician is in there?" The queen frowned and looked towards the inner room.
"Your Highness, it's Imperial Physician Zhang Mi."
The queen felt relieved after hearing this. It was time for things to happen. She finally had something to be happy about in these few days.
Shen Meizhuang was not a suspicious person, but now she felt that every word the Queen said was suspicious.
Shouldn't she ask whether the child could be saved when she first came in? Why did the queen first ask which imperial physician was treating the patient?
Shen Meizhuang was thinking about how to invite Wen Shichu over. The smell of blood coming from the bedroom was getting stronger and stronger.
Before Shen Meizhuang could think of a solution, she heard Su Peisheng's voice outside the hall.
"The Emperor has arrived, and the Imperial Concubine Duan has arrived."
Why would that sickly Concubine Duan come out today?
Although the Queen was secretly complaining, she did not hesitate to pay her respects. She stood up and saluted, and together with several concubines in the palace, she paid her respects to the Emperor.
Behind the emperor followed Qi Yuebin, who looked ethereal and coughing.
"How are the children? How is Noble Lady Fucha?" The emperor sat down with a stern face and asked these first words.
In this hall, only the queen was still wearing a veil, which made her stand out.
"Your Majesty, Noble Lady Fucha is still suffering from the epidemic, you still have to be careful~"
"How come the Queen doesn't know yet? Didn't Noble Lady Fucha recover from the epidemic?" The Emperor was very surprised.
It was clearly Zhang Mi who brought Wen Shichu to the Yangxin Palace yesterday and specifically reported to the emperor that Noble Lady Fucha's epidemic had been cured and the epidemic in the palace had been completely eradicated.
Why didn’t the Queen know?
