Chapter 540 Huanbi's Goodwill
Baoque gently massaged An Lingrong's shoulders and reported in a low voice.
"Master, Xiao Xiazi rushed to Ganlu Temple with the imperial guards in the second half of the night. I guess Concubine Zhen should be on her way back."
"After all, the emperor still has Concubine Zhen in his heart."
The Yangxin Palace was heavily guarded. Even if Su Peisheng leaked the news of Concubine Zhen's return to the palace, the people sent by the emperor had already set off early.
This fundamentally eliminates the opportunity for others to tamper with the product.
An Lingrong guessed that Concubine Qi and her daughter, who had the intention to kill Zhen Huan, might have to wait until the person returned to the palace before knowing the news.
"Time flies by so fast! In the blink of an eye, Concubine Shu has already entered the age of knowing her destiny. She has worked hard for Prince Guo all her life, and now it is time for her to enjoy her remaining years in peace."
"I understand. I'll send someone to do it right away."
Baoque, who had formed a tacit understanding with An Lingrong, knew what his master meant without asking.
In order to show her determination to pray for the late emperor, Concubine Shu took Jiyun to open up about two mu of vegetable garden in the back mountain of Ganlu Temple.
I spend almost every day working in the fields to kill time.
Concubine Shu was very protective of her food and would not let even a single blade of grass she had grown with her own hands fall into the hands of others.
After her subordinates accidentally discovered her strange behavior, they hurriedly reported it.
Later, in countless late nights, there were always men in black quietly applying fertilizer in that vegetable garden.
After the earthworms turn over, the vegetable field needs more careful care, and it is a good time to apply fertilizer again.
After lunch, the news of Zhen Huan's return to the palace broke out like a spring thunder, catching the other unaware people in the harem off guard.
Concubine Qi in the front hall of the Yanxi Palace held Yafang's hand tightly, her eyes full of disbelief.
"Why would that vile woman Zhen return to the palace at this time? Didn't Father say that the Emperor had abandoned her and there was no possibility of her returning to the palace?"
Yafang quickly grabbed Concubine Qi's hand that was reaching for the small table and saved the hot tea that had just been served.
She whispered.
"Master, Concubine Zhen has already moved into Zhongcui Palace. We absolutely cannot have any record of broken porcelain here."
"The master once said that the emperor has a deep affection for Empress Chunyuan, and Zhen, who bears some resemblance to Empress Chunyuan, has won his favor."
"Now that Zhen has returned to the palace, she will definitely make trouble for you. But if you become pregnant with the dragon fetus at this time, I believe Zhen will definitely be restrained."
"Avon, I know you are right. But I..."
Concubine Qi stared at Jingren Palace with red eyes.
The "red musk beads" given by the deposed queen have a contraceptive effect, but wearing them for a long time will lead to infertility.
She had been secretly treating him for so long, but there was no good news.
Concubine Qi was already in despair.
She also wanted to get pregnant with a dragon fetus to save her life, but why didn't she have the good luck of that bitch Huanbi?
According to the results of her analysis over countless nights, it was impossible for the deposed queen to watch Huanbi, who had taken refuge with her, become pregnant.
"Yafang, Zhen is the descendant of a criminal minister. Why should I be afraid of her?"
"Come on, let's go to the study."
Concubine Qi felt that the news should be passed back home as soon as possible.
Ama has a quick mind, maybe he can come up with another good idea to wipe out the Zhen family.
She came from the noble Guwalja clan, so why should she be afraid of an ungrateful deposed concubine?
When Huanbi in the backyard heard the news that Zhen Huan had returned to the palace, she was stunned.
"Fubao, Concubine Zhen has always been very successful. What do you think is her purpose in returning to the palace this time?"
Fubao, who was kneeling on the ground massaging Huanbi's feet, thought for a few breaths.
"Master, all the women who want to enter the palace seek true love and wealth."
"Empress Zhenpin was once deeply hurt by the Emperor in pursuit of so-called true love."
"Now that she has returned to the palace, she will definitely not make the same mistake again."
Huanbi's eyes widened in fear.
"You said that Concubine Zhen came back this time to fight for power and profit?"
Fubao nodded heavily.
"I heard that Concubine Zhen is pregnant. Doesn't that mean I am a stumbling block for her?"
Huanbi knew very well what she had done to Zhen Huan.
Based on her understanding of Zhen Huan, that woman must have been desperate, so she pretended to be submissive to confuse the emperor.
"Master, I will definitely take good care of the dragon fetus in your belly."
Fubao hurried to express his loyalty.
In fact, she was silently complaining in her heart: Concubine Shu has two sons, and Concubine Hui is also pregnant. Either of these two has a better background than Huanbi. Her master just likes to worry about things that are not necessary.
After much thought, Huanbi felt that she could not sit idly by and watch Zhen Huan return to the palace.
"Fubao, take out a silver note worth one hundred taels from the treasury and accompany me to Zhongcui Palace to visit Concubine Zhen."
"Yes, slaves obey."
As soon as Huanbi and her servant turned into the long street, they saw Shen Meizhuang walking back with Princess Longyue, talking and laughing.
Shen Meizhuang nodded at Huanbi from a distance without stopping.
Seeing this, Fubao spoke awkwardly.
"Master, Concubine Hui..."
"The two of them have always been so xenophobic. It's normal for Concubine Hui to dislike me."
Huanbi laughed at herself.
"Let alone me, I'm afraid even the Imperial Concubine Shu from Yongshou Palace is not in their sight."
"Okay, without further ado, let's go to Suiyuxuan and ask for an audience."
Huanbi is already isolated and helpless in the harem. I wonder if Zhen Huan will take care of her a little because they are blood relatives?
When Fubao knocked on the door, it seemed as if he was knocking on Huanbi's heart.
As soon as the door opened, she smiled the moment she looked up.
"Baizhi, is Sister Zhen here? I heard she returned to the palace, so I came here to reminisce."
"My dear Lady He, what an unfortunate coincidence! My queen just left home, saying she was going to the Yangxin Palace to express her gratitude."
Baizhi smiled and welcomed the person in.
"Your Excellency, please rest inside for a while. I will send someone to inform the Master."
"Sister Zhen is in great favor with the Emperor, so naturally she must go to the Emperor to express her gratitude."
Huanbi smiled knowingly.
"I have no important business to attend to this visit. Miss Baizhi, please give this purse to Sister Zhen as a token of my appreciation."
