I just want to live a happy life

Chapter 366 An Lingrong 22

Concubine Hua was really arrogant and domineering. First, she deliberately suppressed her when she first entered the palace, and then demoted her father.

She will take revenge for every single one of these things and will never let it go so easily.

Concubine Hua is tyrannical in the palace, all because of the Nian family. If you want to bring down Concubine Hua, you must bring down the Nian family first.

She knew a lot more about the emperor and knew that the emperor still wanted to use Nian Gengyao and would not deal with her in the short term.

So she could only bear with it for now and not act too hastily.

There is also the matter of Sister Mei's fake pregnancy. She knows Sister Mei's personality. She would not rely on faking pregnancy to win favor, so someone must have framed her.

She must find evidence to frame Sister Mei as soon as possible and rescue her.

Now in this palace, Concubine Hua is dissatisfied with her, and the Queen does not treat her with kindness. As for the rest of the people, Chun'er is on good terms with her, but she has the mentality of a child and still needs her care, so she can't help her at all.

She was surrounded by enemies in the palace and urgently needed someone to help her.

She had thought about An Lingrong before. An Lingrong had a little prince. If she stood on her side, she would be a very powerful helper.

But An Lingrong always refused to respond, which made her very embarrassed.

So the only person she can rely on now is Sister Mei.

She also knew that it was the imperial physician Liu Bin who took care of Sister Mei during her pregnancy, but now Liu Bin was missing, and the problem could be solved as long as she found her.

Zhen Huan was just about to send someone to look for him, but she didn't expect that there was an epidemic in the palace.

The epidemic was raging and many people had been injured, so the emperor and the empress issued orders to close the palace gates. No concubine in the palace was allowed to go out to prevent infection, and they were also required to use moxa fumigation every day.

There was no other way, Zhen Huan could only stop and wait until the epidemic was over before looking for Liu Bin.

More than a month passed, and the imperial physicians of the Imperial Medical Bureau still had no way to cure the epidemic. Concubine Hua felt sorry for the emperor who was busy dealing with the epidemic every day, so she asked the two imperial physicians Jiang Cheng and Jiang Shen to look through medical books to see if they could find a solution.

At the same time, Concubine Hua did not forget to target Zhen Huan.

Ever since Zhen Huan gained favor, he has been disrespectful to her every time and often ridiculed her with words, but the Emperor dotes on her, so even if she is a concubine, she cannot cause any harm to Zhen Huan.

She also vaguely knew that Zhen Huan dared to discuss state affairs, and what she was talking about was her brother's affairs, which really touched Hua Fei's heart.

In Hua Fei's heart, the first person she cares about is the emperor, and the second is her brother.

To be more serious, her brother is more important than the emperor.

But this bitch dared to say that about her brother, she would not forgive her.

But the Emperor protected Zhen Huan very tightly, so she really couldn't put her hand into the Sui Yuxuan.

Zhen Huan cannot be harmed for the time being, but she can vent her anger on Shen Meizhuang. This is not her fault, because Shen Meizhuang and Zhen Huan are good friends.

Those who are friendly with Zhen Huan are her enemies.

So, Concubine Hua easily sent a set of tea sets used by someone who was infected with the plague to Shen Meizhuang.

Shen Meizhuang knew that Concubine Hua had no good intentions towards her, but she used the tea set sent by Zhou Ninghai without any hesitation, and then successfully contracted the epidemic.

When Zhen Huan learned the news, Shen Meizhuang was already running low on fever.

After hearing such bad news, Zhen Huan was very anxious. She didn't care about the epidemic at the moment. She immediately asked someone to find Liu Bin to clear Sister Mei's name and provide treatment for her.

But it was too late. This time Wen Shichu was not there, and Liu Bin was nowhere to be seen, so Shen Meizhuang died quietly after having a high fever for several days.

Zhen Huan was very sad, she did it too late.

After her sister Mei passed away, she was no longer in the mood to look for Liu Bin. What was the point of finding Liu Bin? Her sister Mei had already passed away. Her innocence had been cleared, and her sister couldn't hear it anymore.

So afterwards, Zhen Huan was very sad about the death of her sister Mei and had no interest in doing anything. During this epidemic, she did not dare to go out again.

It is worth mentioning that in addition to Shen Meizhuang’s accident during this epidemic, another important person also got into trouble.

This person is the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother is the Emperor's mother. She must be well guarded and nothing will happen.

Just like in the original plot, she was still alive and well after the epidemic, living longer than Shen Meizhuang.

But this time it was different. The Queen Mother's health was bad because the Queen kept drugging An Lingrong in an attempt to harm her child, and An Lingrong also took revenge on the Queen Mother. Now the Queen Mother's health was already too weak.

Originally, An Lingrong had not yet decided on the day when the Queen Mother would die.

I didn't expect the epidemic to come so coincidentally. I won't have too many doubts if someone dies from it.

So An Lingrong planned to take action at this time.

During the epidemic, although people were not allowed to go out, a lot of things still had to be sent in to meet the needs of the empress dowager. I don’t know what the empress dowager used, but she actually had a high fever.

The Queen Mother had a fever in the middle of the night. Zhu Xi, who was on duty, was dozing off on the couch outside and did not notice.

The best time for treatment was delayed.

So, the next day, when Zhuxi went to the bedside to see if the queen mother had woken up, he discovered that something was wrong with her.

The Queen Mother only had one breath left.

Zhuxi hurriedly went to find the imperial physician, but just as she gave the instructions, the empress dowager died.

It was as if she was holding on to her breath to tell Zhuxi that she wasn't so easy to die.

The emperor was very sad when the empress dowager passed away, but she died of an epidemic. He was afraid that he would also be infected with the epidemic if he went to Shoukang Palace, so he stayed in the Yangxin Palace and did not go there.

Of course, he did not admit that he was a coward, but he was afraid of seeing the empress dowager too sad to the point of delaying the handling of state affairs. He was the emperor and he still had a lot of things to deal with.

Perhaps to cover up his own guilty conscience, he had to deal with a lot of memorials in the past few days and couldn't finish them all. Moreover, the sudden death of the empress dowager was closely related to Zhu Xi.

The emperor was furious and gave Zhuxi a white silk scarf and asked her to be buried with the empress dowager.

No matter how filial the emperor usually behaves to the empress dowager, her true nature is revealed at the critical moment of life and death. The emperor's mother-son affection for the empress dowager is not enough.

When the Empress Dowager passed away, no matter what the concubines in the harem were thinking, they had to show their sadness about her passing on their faces.

The one who was most sincerely sad here was the Queen.

The Queen Mother can be considered as the Queen's aunt. The Queen knows how much the Queen Mother values ​​the position of Queen, so with the Queen Mother backing her up, no matter what wrong things she does or how many people she harms, as long as the Queen Mother is around, she can do whatever she wants.

Don't worry about anything happening.

Because the Queen Mother will help her clean up the mess and handle it thoroughly so that the Emperor won't be able to find out anything.
