Chapter 355 An Lingrong 11
Chapter 355 An Lingrong 11
Concubine Hua led a large group of people to Suiyuxuan. The scene was so grand and the noise was so loud that the Queen and other concubines soon found out about it. They all sent people to inquire and find out what had happened.
After arriving at the Sui Yuxuan, Concubine Hua was a concubine and Zhen Huan was just a maid. Even though she was weak, she had to kneel down and salute.
Zhen Huan felt a sense of uneasiness for no reason. She recalled it and had no recollection of having done anything wrong. So why did Concubine Hua come to her?
It didn't take long for Concubine Hua to tell her the reason: "How can you, a concubine, live in the main hall of Suiyuxuan? Concubine Wan, you stood in the wrong place when you first went to Jingren Palace to pay your respects to the Queen. Now you live in the main hall again. It seems that you really don't know the rules. Three months of punishment is not enough. Do you want to be punished again?"
Zhen Huan only felt a buzzing sound in her head and realized that she had made such an obvious mistake. She hurriedly knelt down to apologize, but at the same time she couldn't help blaming Jin Xi in her heart.
When she first entered the palace, she didn't want to go to the main hall, but Jin Xi took her in.
At that time, she thought that since Jin Xi, an aunt in charge, took her to live in the main hall, it must be okay for her to live there, so she didn't ask any more questions. If she had known earlier, she would have asked a question.
If she had gone to the side hall on her own initiative, she wouldn't have been discovered and embarrassed like today. She knew without thinking that everyone else in the harem would know what happened in Sui Yuxuan today.
In response to Zhen Huan's apology, Concubine Hua simply sneered, and then asked the people following her to go into the palace and throw out Zhen Huan's things, so as not to let Zhen Huan's things dirty the floor of the main hall.
The master and his servants were driven out of the main hall in a panic and went to the west hall. The rooms in the west hall were half the size of the main hall and had little sunlight. It was cold in winter and hot in summer. It was not a good place to live.
But there was no other way, Zhen Huan could only live here.
When Zhen Huan entered the palace, the Queen specifically allowed each lady to bring two maids into the palace. Since Zhen Huan was a regular concubine, the Ministry of Internal Affairs also assigned palace maids and eunuchs to serve her.
They are Pei'er and Xiao Yunzi who are beside Zhen Huan.
As for Jin Xi, she was the aunt in charge, but she followed Zhen Huan and served her without permission, which was against the rules. So, Jin Xi was taken away by Concubine Hua, and punishment would be waiting for her.
A bunch of people came, made a scene in Sui Yuxuan, and then left, leaving Zhen Huan with only sadness, embarrassment, and anger.
Zhen Huan sat on a chair in the west hall, her eyes full of anger, her ambition burning more and more fiercely.
She must be favored and must trample all those who bully her under her feet.
When she thought of Concubine Hua and the people in the harem who laughed at her and suffered the miserable fate they deserved, her anger dissipated a little.
Huanbi stood beside her, looking at the west side hall with disdain in her eyes: "How can someone live in this room? Concubine Hua is too much."
Liu Zhu pulled her sleeve and whispered, "Okay, stop talking. This room looks like it needs to be cleaned before the young lady can move in. Go get busy. Let's not waste time."
Liu Zhu knew that the young lady was in a bad mood and needed quiet time the most, so she pulled Huanbi away, and Pei'er and Xiao Yunzi also went to help.
The room fell silent. Zhen Huan looked around with a hint of barely perceptible disdain in her eyes.
An Lingrong was sitting on the couch in her room watching Zhen Huan's situation at the moment. Seeing how embarrassed she was just now made her happy.
Knowing that Zhen Huan wanted to be favored, she pretended to be sick to avoid favor before. But now it is not so easy.
After knowing what happened in Yime Garden on New Year's Eve, the Queen had people keep an eye on Zhen Huan at all times. Soon, she learned that the medicine she drank had changed.
The medicine she was taking now could make her get better quickly, and Zhen Huan showed signs of improvement in a short period of time.
The queen realized something was wrong. The disease had been treated so slowly in the beginning and had not been healed, so how come it was getting better so quickly now?
After checking, she found out that it was Zhen Huan and the imperial physician Wen Shichu who conspired to treat the disease with medicine.
When the queen learned about this, she was very angry. She didn't expect such a thing to happen under her nose.
What made her feel aggrieved was that she couldn't tell the emperor about this. After all, it was she who agreed to let Wen Shichu take care of Zhen Huan. If this matter was known by other people, it would mean that she, as the queen, was incompetent.
There was no way she could do anything but swallow it, but that didn't mean she would let it go.
So, the queen quickly found an excuse to drive Wen Shichu out of the Imperial Medical Bureau and sent him to the temporary palace to treat the eunuchs and palace maids.
Wen Shichu left in a hurry and left without even having time to say goodbye to his sister Huan.
When it was time to take Zhen Huan's pulse, a new imperial physician was appointed and only then did Zhen Huan know about this.
Zhen Huan didn't think that other people would find out that she got sick on purpose. After knowing the reason why Wen Shichu left, she just felt sorry that Wen Shichu could no longer help her. Knowing that she couldn't let Wen Shichu come back, she let the matter go and never cared about Wen Shichu again.
Zhen Huan knew that Wen Shichu liked her, so the medicines he prescribed for her were all to help her recover. Before there was a new imperial physician she could trust, Zhen Huan did not intend to listen to the imperial physician who was taking her pulse about changing pharmacies.
She still took the medicine prescribed by Wen Shichu.
When Wen Shichu was still in the Imperial Hospital, she would personally prepare the medicine and then deliver it to Liu Zhu or Huanbi who were by Zhen Huan's side, and would never give it to other people she did not trust.
By doing this, others will not find an opportunity to poison the medicine.
But now that Wen Shichu is gone, it becomes much easier to take action.
The Queen also took this opportunity to poison Zhen Huan. Now that the people who prepared the medicine were the Queen's people, it was easy for them to add some poison.
This poison is hidden in the medicine. If you don't look carefully, you can't find it at all.
In this way, the poison was mixed into Zhen Huan's medicine, and Zhen Huan drank it again and again. When her body fully recovered, she was sterilized and could no longer have children.
Zhen Huan had already dealt with the drug residue, which made things convenient for the Queen.
Without evidence, the eunuch who prepared medicine was transferred away quietly after working for a while.
Knowing that Zhen Huan had been sterilized, the Queen felt relieved. Even if she became favored in the future, without children, she would not be able to achieve anything.
Soon, it was spring and flowers were blooming.
Zhen Huan's health improved, and she began to look for opportunities to gain favor.
So she asked people to carefully inquire about the whereabouts of the emperor. At this time, Zhen Huan suddenly thought of Jin Xi. If Jin Xi was still by her side, there would not be so much trouble.
Jin Xi and Su Peisheng knew each other, so it was not easy for her to know the emperor's whereabouts.
But now, she's on her own.
After waiting for a while, Zhen Huan finally found out the whereabouts of the emperor.
After knowing that the emperor would pass by the imperial garden, Zhen Huan hurriedly asked Xiao Yunzi to make a swing for her. When she knew that the emperor would come, she took a flute and started playing it.
