Chapter 174: The Queen is not deposed, Mei Zhuang uses a plan
"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims: You, the Fucha family, are of noble character, gentle and kind, dignified and upright, intelligent and prudent. You have given birth to my sixth prince, and have contributed greatly to the succession of the royal family. I hereby promote you to the title of Consort Xuan and bestow upon you the imperial seal and seal."
"I accept your order and am grateful for your grace."
Fu Cha Zhixi opened his mouth to accept the decree and express his gratitude.
Suqin took the imperial edict with a tactful look and handed over a thick red envelope.
"Father-in-law, you've worked hard to come here. Please have some tea."
Suqin said with a smile as she looked at Su Peisheng who brought the good news.
"Thank you for the reward, my queen."
"Your Majesty, the Emperor also asked me to bring you a verbal order."
Su Peisheng smiled at Fu Cha Zhixi in a flattering manner.
"What is that?"
Fu Cha Zhixi knew that he had finally arrived, but there was a confused expression on his face.
"The Empress is not feeling well right now, so she is unable to manage the palace affairs. That is why I have specifically ordered Her Majesty, Concubine Hua, and Concubine Jing to help manage the six palaces together."
Su Peisheng said with a smile.
"But, you also know, sir, that I am afraid that I will not be able to take care of palace affairs in my current state."
Fu Cha Zhixi looked at Su Peisheng hesitantly and said.
"Don't worry, your majesty. The emperor has his own arrangements. After he finishes handling state affairs, he will come to see you."
Su Peisheng was not surprised by Fu Cha Zhixi's words, and spoke with a smile.
"Thank you, father-in-law."
Fu Cha Zhixi nodded.
"If your majesty has no other instructions, I will leave first."
Su Peisheng spoke to Fu Cha Zhixi.
"Go slowly, eunuch. Suqin will take you out."
After seeing Su Peisheng off, Fu Cha Zhixi turned around and saw Yu Hu with a puzzled look on his face, which made him feel a little amused.
"What's going on here?"
"Your Majesty, is the punishment for the Queen to divide the palace power among you, Concubine Hua, and Concubine Jing?"
Yu Hu asked, finding it a little hard to accept.
"That's how it should be."
Fucha Zhixi spoke.
"But if we weren't careful, the queen might..."
Yu Hu didn't say the rest of the words, but the meaning was very clear.
Fu Cha Zhixi shook his head and gave a somewhat helpless smile.
"Yuhu, many things are not as simple as you think. The queen is not an ordinary concubine. You can't touch her easily."
"I am already very satisfied to be able to remove the Queen's palace power."
"I just think this kind of punishment is too simple. After all, with just one word from the emperor, the power of the palace can be returned to the queen's hands."
Yuhu pursed her lips and said sadly.
She thought that the queen would be punished more severely. After all, her own queen almost lost her life. The emperor had solid evidence, but he still let her go so easily.
"No, this punishment is already severe enough."
After Suqin sent Su Peisheng away, she walked in and took over the conversation.
"The Queen's mother's family is not prosperous, she is not favored by the Emperor, and she has no children. The only thing she has is the rights of the Queen, so the punishment from the Emperor is already very severe for the Queen."
"What's more, apart from Concubine Jing, Concubine Hua and our queen are all hostile to the queen. I don't think the queen's life will be easy in the future."
"I see. I thought too simply and didn't think beyond this level."
"So, the emperor still values our queen very much."
Yuhu suddenly broke into a brilliant smile.
"Well, now that I can give birth successfully, we all have contributed, and we should be rewarded for our contributions."
"Everyone in the palace will have their monthly salary doubled for three months starting today."
"Each of them will receive a pair of jade bracelets from my collection, and Aunt Fangqiu and Eunuch Chai will each receive a hundred taels of silver."
Fu Cha Zhixi opened his mouth and gave instructions to Su Qin.
"Yes, ma'am."
Suqin knelt down and bowed to Fucha Zhixi.
"Your Majesty is so kind to us servants."
Yuhu smiled happily, she had liked the pair of jade bracelets before, and she didn't expect that the queen would give them to her.
Here, Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang were discussing how to use the baby in her belly, which everyone knew about, to make Concubine Hua suffer a loss.
"Huan'er, now that Concubine Xuan has successfully given birth, I'm afraid there will be more eyes on my belly in the future."
Shen Meizhuang touched her belly and said worriedly.
Although she knew that she was not pregnant, now everyone in the harem knew that she was pregnant, and this made the fact that she was not pregnant seem to be true.
"Yes, Sister Mei."
"We have to act quickly. Otherwise, the longer we delay, the more trouble we will have in our stomach."
Zhen Huan looked at Shen Meizhuang worriedly and said.
After all, this belly is now a time bomb, and it depends on when Concubine Hua will detonate it.
"But Concubine Hua knows that you are not pregnant, and the Queen is ill now, so no banquet will be held for a while. If we want to retaliate, it may not be easy."
Zhen Huan was not optimistic about Shen Meizhuang's plan. After all, they were now in this garden, and the concubines lived far away from each other, so it would be difficult for them to run into each other.
Since Concubine Hua knew the inside story, she would naturally be wary of Shen Meizhuang's pregnancy and would never be stupid enough to give Shen Meizhuang the chance to get close to her easily.
Therefore, without a reasonable reason, the two of them had no way of meeting Concubine Hua. As for the frame-up, it would be better if this kind of thing could be exposed as before, in front of everyone, especially the emperor, so that everyone could see Concubine Hua's evil deeds with their own eyes, and thus deal the greatest possible fatal blow to Concubine Hua.
"It doesn't matter. As long as I can get Concubine Hua to stick to my baby in front of everyone, Concubine Hua won't be able to explain herself even if she has eight mouths."
Shen Meizhuang was not too worried. After all, she knew very well that no one would be so cruel as to use their own child as a means of harm.
And she just took advantage of this time difference.
Both of them knew that the baby was fake, but no one else knew.
Hua Fei and her companions thought that they were unaware of the situation, but in fact, she already knew the truth, so as long as they seized the time difference, they would be able to successfully trick Hua Fei.
"Sister Mei, do you have an idea?"
Seeing this, Zhen Huan asked curiously.
"Of course I have some ideas."
"The Concubine Xuan has just given birth to the Sixth Prince. The Prince's third birthday celebration will naturally be a grand one, and Concubine Hua will definitely attend. This banquet is the best time for us to take action."
Shen Meizhuang touched her lower abdomen and became more determined in her thinking.
She must seek revenge on Concubine Hua to relieve the hatred in her heart.
