She always plays cards out of the ordinary

Chapter 122: Legend of Zhen Huan 67

But Zhaopin entered the palace. Not only was her status equal to that of the empress, but she was also pregnant with the emperor's heir. If Zhaopin gave birth to a prince, would there still be a chance for the third prince?"

"But for the Queen, even if she is not the Third Prince, she will still be the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother."

"Do not."

Zhen Huan's eyes flashed with a dark light, "Sister Mei, do you remember the day when the queen was imprisoned?"

Shen Meizhuang looked at Zhen Huan with a smile in her eyes, "How could I not remember this? We even performed a show together on New Year's Eve."

Zhen Huan smiled, her eyes filled with nostalgia. That should have been the most glorious and dazzling time since she entered the palace.

"Yes, it was a New Year's Eve banquet. The emperor actually locked up the queen for such a small matter. Do you think it is reasonable?"

"But the Queen's words that day were really inappropriate. She actually compared the Emperor to Emperor Shunzhi and even implied that the Emperor favored his concubine over his wife. How could the Emperor tolerate this?"

Shen Meizhuang didn't think there was anything wrong with the emperor locking up the queen that day. After all, the queen was very bold to say such things in public. What would the court officials think when they knew about it?

Zhen Huan did not argue with Shen Meizhuang's words.

"If the Queen had only made such a small mistake, she should have been released in a few days. But it's been so long now. Not to mention the Emperor, even the Queen Mother has ignored the Queen. Do you think this is normal?"

Shen Meizhuang is not stupid, she just doesn't pay attention to these things on a daily basis, which is why she is late in getting the news. Now after hearing what Zhen Huan said, Shen Meizhuang understood what Zhen Huan meant.

"So what you mean is that the Queen has made a big mistake? And this mistake is not small, it is so big that even the Queen Mother can't get the Queen out of Jingren Palace?"

Zhen Huan's eyes were filled with smiles, and she was obviously very happy that Sister Mei and she were in harmony.

"Yes, so the Third Prince is the Queen's last straw."

What Zhen Huan did not say was that the emperor was old, and there were only three adult princes. The possibility of the third prince ascending the throne was more than half. As long as the queen was not deposed, the day when the third prince ascended the throne would be the day when the queen would return to the harem.

"But if the Third Prince doesn't ascend the throne, then the Queen will either be deposed or die. Do you think the Queen Mother will watch the Queen being deposed? No.

So the Queen Mother had to stand on the side of the Third Prince for now. She would not allow Zhaopin to be favored and give birth to an heir. This time, I indirectly helped the Queen Mother."

Shen Meizhuang was somewhat helpless, "Huan'er, we don't know what the current situation of Concubine Zhao is. How can you be sure that Concubine Qi's efforts are not in vain?"

"Yes, I really don't know."

Zhen Huan also admitted that she couldn't figure out Zhaopin's situation now, but she still had Wen Shichu. As Zhaopin's full-time imperial physician, Wen Shichu should be very clear about her physical condition.

"But the Emperor's severe punishment on Concubine Qi may not be due to a problem with Concubine Zhao's dragon fetus."

Shen Meizhuang looked at Zhen Huan, who was so calculating and calculating. She felt that Zhen Huan had become so strange. But when she thought of Zhen Huan's anger just now, she felt that Zhen Huan was indeed wronged.

In this palace, only herself and Huan'er are the ones who can rely on each other. Although Lingrong is with them, there is still a layer of separation between them.

So, Huan'er has already done it, and all Shen Meizhuang can do is to help.

Shen Meizhuang's eyebrows were almost twisted together. How could Zhen Huan get out of this matter? The Queen Mother might be willing to help the Third Prince, but she might not be willing to help Zhen Huan.

"Huan'er, what you did is beneficial to the Queen and the Queen Mother, but it has already been done and the result is about to come out. How can you guarantee that the Queen Mother is still willing to protect you?"

Zhen Huan certainly thought of this question, "Sister Mei, I know what you mean, but I have you. You are the only one in this palace who has the hope of competing with Concubine Zhao for favor.

Judging from Zhaopin's current favor, her rise is inevitable, just like Huafei back then. But Huafei has no children, and now that Huafei has finally fallen, the queen is not a fool, so how could she allow a second, enhanced version of Huafei to rise.

For the Queen Mother and the Empress, it is the most balanced if both of you are favored. So if you want to protect me, the Queen Mother will definitely agree. "

When Zhen Huan said this, she curled the corners of her mouth in self-mockery.

"If I could have the emperor's favor, I wouldn't drag you into this."

Shen Meizhuang was actually a little angry at first. She was angry that Zhen Huan didn't say anything, didn't discuss it with her, and dragged her into the game between her and the Queen Mother.

But Shen Meizhuang didn't know what to say about Zhen Huan's self-mockery just now.

"Alright, alright, I can't convince you. You know I won't leave you alone. But if you want to do anything in the future, you must always discuss it with me. Otherwise, next time, we may not have the opportunity and time to find a way out."

Zhen Huan nodded, "I understand, Sister Mei, this time it's mainly Concubine Qi..."

Zhen Huan didn't finish her words, but Shen Meizhuang knew that Zhen Huan was arrogant. It was obviously unrealistic for her to swallow her anger.

"It's getting late now. Let's go tomorrow. I'll go see the Queen Mother tomorrow. If the Queen Mother is willing to see you, you can go." "Okay, thank you Sister Mei."

"You and I are sisters, so there's no need to say these polite words. I'll go back first. I've been busy all day and I'm a little tired."

"Then I'll take it to you."

Zhen Huan said as she helped Shen Meizhuang walk out. Cai Xing, who saw Shen Meizhuang coming out, came over to help her. Shen Meizhuang tugged at Zhen Huan's hand and said, "Don't send me off. It's so late. Go to bed early."

Zhen Huan stopped walking when she heard that. Suddenly, Shen Meizhuang paused, turned around, leaned close to Zhen Huan's ear and whispered, "If you succeed in meeting the Queen Mother tomorrow, remember to emphasize the Dongzhu incident. The Queen Mother will not let go of this handle."

Cai Xing watched Shen Meizhuang come out of the Sui Yuxuan with a heavy heart, and she couldn't help feeling a little worried about Zhen Huan. It was like this again.

Thinking that Shen Meizhuang had not had dinner yet, Caixing stopped asking and just helped Shen Meizhuang walk towards Xianfu Palace.

When they returned to Xianfu Palace, Caixing saw Caiyue waiting at the door and spoke quickly.

"Is there anything to eat in the house? The young master hasn't had dinner yet."

Caiyue walked to the other side and supported Shen Meizhuang, "My lady, there is porridge warmed up for you in the room, waiting for you to come back."

Shen Meizhuang couldn't help but nodded approvingly. Caixing and Caiyue, as maids who had followed her since childhood, were very methodical in doing things.

Shen Meizhuang never needs to worry about trivial matters like these.
