I just want to live a happy life

Chapter 156 Fu Cha Yi Xin 32

"And the other one is for Sister Wanpin. I hope you don't mind it."

The two men stood up, thanked the Queen, and took the gifts from the Queen.

Zhen Huan knew that her child was killed and the Queen was the culprit, but now that she had fallen out of favor, it was impossible for her to take revenge. Looking at the things in her hand, she really wanted to throw them away. She didn't want anything the Queen gave her at all.

Don't think that she can't hear the Queen's perfunctory attitude towards her. In the past, the Queen had done enough work to save her face and would not let anyone say anything bad about her. But now it is different. Perhaps everyone knows the Queen's true face, and the Queen doesn't pretend anymore.

His dislike for the concubines was blatant.

Although Concubine Nian also dislikes the Queen, she is now happy to laugh at Zhen Huan. If Zhen Huan had not been useless, she would not be Concubine Nian now, but the high and mighty Concubine Hua.

She had a lot of malice towards Zhen Huan.

She didn't believe that the Queen simply gave Zhen Huan a gift. There must be some purpose behind it.

"Princess Wan, the gifts that the Queen gave to Bi Changzai have all been opened. Let us have a look at yours as well. I am really envious of you. I think the gift that the Queen gave you is not light."

Following Concubine Nian's eye signal, Cao Qinmo also started talking, and every word she said was asking Zhen Huan to take out the things so that the sisters could take a look.

There are many concubines who don't like Zhen Huan, and they all start to talk about it.

Yi Xin sat in her seat and watched this scene. She couldn't help but sigh and wonder what on earth Zhen Huan had done to make everyone so unhappy and want to laugh at her.

Concubine Jing always remained neutral and didn't offend anyone. Like Yi Xin, she said nothing. Except for Shen Meiyu, everyone else was talking about Zhen Huan. Even if Shen Meiyu helped her, the two of them could not win the argument against the others.

The queen sat there and watched the scene with a smile, with no intention of stopping it.

Zhen Huan's face turned pale and blue, and she was finally forced to open the wooden box that she had placed in Jin Xi's hand.

To be honest, she had already felt the weight of the wooden box when she took it, and she also guessed what was inside. If she opened it, she would lose face.

Under the gaze of everyone, Zhen Huan still opened it and let everyone see what was inside.

After seeing it clearly, Nianpin covered her mouth and chuckled, and was the first to speak: "The Queen is really considerate. She knew that Wanpin was in need of these things the most, and she sent quite a lot."

Huanbi then said, "What Concubine Nian said is right. Sisters, you may not know that Sister Wan's life is not as good as before. Now she can't even make clothes, and the food she eats is the worst. With the money awarded by the Queen, Sister Wan's life will definitely improve."

As Huanbi spoke, she also emphasized the word "reward".

Cao Qinmo put down the teacup and said casually, "I heard that Concubine Wan is short of money because she spent too much before. I wonder where Concubine Wan spent it. If Concubine Wan doesn't mind, please tell us sisters about it."

"This way we can have an idea and avoid mistakes in time."

After hearing what Cao Qinmo said, everyone couldn't help but think of the time when Zhen Huan's heart sank and she became uneasy, for she was afraid that everyone would talk about how she used butterflies in the Yime Garden to win the emperor's favor.

Zhen Huan said quickly, "There are only a few ways to spend money in the harem. I don't need to tell you. Everyone knows it. The reason why we had such a hard time before was because I had a miscarriage. The miscarriage hurt my body, so I spent more money to replenish my body."

As she spoke, she stood up and bowed to the queen. No matter how much hatred she felt in her heart, she had to thank her: "Thank you, Queen. The things you sent have solved my urgent needs."

Looking at Zhen Huan's clenched hands, the Queen's eyes were full of smiles. She was the Queen, and even if she had harmed Zhen Huan's child, so what? Now she had to thank her and needed her to help her out.

Seeing that Zhen Huan looked unhappy and had to bow to her, she didn't mind helping her.

So, the Queen said a few words to help Zhen Huan out of the predicament, and everyone couldn't hold Zhen Huan accountable to say anything.

After sitting for a while, the greetings ended.

Back in the Yanxi Palace, Yi Xin asked Qingyu to put the things the Queen had given her on the table. As expected, the things she gave her had the smell of musk. Yi Xin knew at once that the musk on the things was very strong, and it was meant to sterilize her.

She took the gift that the Queen gave to Hongyao. On the surface, it looked nothing special, but Yi Xin examined it carefully and finally saw a tiny gap on a small decoration on the necklace.

Yi Xin took a needle and pried the gap open in one direction, and the contents inside spilled out, some white powder.

She knew that if adults smelled this powder for a long time, their tempers would become bad and they would do some unreasonable things, but if children smelled it, they would cry and their bodies would gradually become weak.

Yi Xin tightly gripped the collar. She knew that the queen was very obsessed with getting rid of children and would not let go of the emperor's offspring. She didn't care about other people, but Hongyao was her son. Even if she found out in advance and her child hadn't been harmed yet, she would not let the queen go.

Thinking of this, she called Hongyu over and talked to her for a few words.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, I'll do it right away." After saying this, Hongyu left the Yanx Palace.

Yi Xin managed to regain her composure and went to the east hall.

Although it is already past the New Year, the weather is still very cold. Charcoal is burning not only in the main hall where she lives, but also in the side hall. These are all top-quality charcoal that does not produce smoke and dust. If you get close and smell them, there is a faint fragrance.

Not only that, there is floor heating in the hall. As soon as you walk in, it feels as warm as spring.

At this time, Hongyao was lying on the bed, holding a small toy in his chubby little hands, and playing happily with his big black eyes open.

Hearing the noise, Hongyao turned around and saw Yi Xin. His eyes were clear and bright. As Yi Xin walked in, he instantly gave Yi Xin a toothless smile.

Yi Xin's heart softened when she saw this. After waking up the wet nurse beside the bed, she walked to the bed, sat down, held him in her arms, and started playing with him.

On the other hand, Hongyu completed the task assigned to her very quickly. Yi Xin asked Hongyu to do it in the morning, but in the afternoon, there were rumors that the queen's headache had recurred.

Upon hearing such rumors, the concubines in the harem all asked people to inquire about the news. Not long after, everyone knew that the queen had fallen ill again, and it was very serious. She fainted on the bed, and the imperial physician was called.

Upon hearing such news, the concubines did not feel sad at all. Most of them were secretly happy. Since the Queen was so seriously ill, they would not have to get up early tomorrow to pay their respects, right?
