Chapter 235 The Legend of Zhen Huan Original Female Lead 18
As expected, as soon as Su Peisheng left, Yinzhen stood up abruptly, threw all the memorials on the table to the ground, and roared: "Nian Gengyao, you are so brave!"
It turned out that when Yinzhen was reviewing memorials today, he found a secret memorial impeaching Nian Gengyao. He had only been on the throne for a year, and the memorial listed Nian Gengyao's crimes of corruption, forming cliques for personal gain, and oppressing the people. The evidence was conclusive and shocking.
After reading it, Yinzhen was immediately furious. He had always known that Nian Gengyao was arrogant and domineering in the court because of his contribution to the enthronement, but he did not expect that he would be so bold and presumptuous, and simply disregarded the laws of the country!
What made Yinzhen even more heartbroken was that it was impossible for Concubine Hua to be unaware of what Nian Gengyao had done, but she never tried to dissuade him. Instead, she blindly covered up for him and condoned him. She even spoke for the Nian family in the harem many times. How could he not be heartbroken?
"Your Majesty, please calm down! Take care of your body!" Su Peisheng heard the noise and rushed in. Seeing the memorials scattered all over the floor and Yinzhen's ashen face, he was so frightened that he fell to his knees with a thud.
Su Peisheng knelt on the ground, not daring to make a sound, for fear that Yinzhen would be unhappy and his head would be chopped off.
The person sitting on the dragon throne is no longer like the icy-faced Fourth Master from before.
Yinzhen knew that Concubine Hua had great power, and if he wanted to completely suppress it, he had to think of a way. So, he began to deliberately support Shen Meizhuang, and slowly transferred some of the power that originally belonged to Concubine Hua to Shen Meizhuang.
Shen Meizhuang comes from a noble family. She is gentle and virtuous, and does not like to fight for power, which makes her a perfect nemesis for Concubine Hua.
"Bang!" A gold-painted teacup was smashed to the ground, and the fine tea mixed with the fragments splashed everywhere.
"Bitch! They are all bitches! They are all rebelling against the heaven!" Concubine Hua was furious, her chest heaving violently.
Songzhi knelt on the ground, not daring to breathe, her body trembling, afraid that she would become the victim of Concubine Hua's anger if she was not careful.
"This Shen Meizhuang usually looks like someone who doesn't want to fight with the world, but I didn't expect that she would actually bite people!" Concubine Hua gritted her teeth, almost squeezing out the three words "Shen Meizhuang" from between her teeth.
"The Emperor actually stripped me of my power for her?!"
"Your Majesty, please calm down! You must take care of yourself!" Songzhi fell to the ground, trembling with fear.
"The Emperor may just be confused for the moment. After a few days, he will understand the goodness of the Empress."
"Confused? Humph! The emperor has clearly been bewitched by that little bitch!" Hua Fei was furious. When she thought of the emperor's love for Shen Meizhuang, she became jealous and crazy. "I want to see what Shen Meizhuang is capable of that makes the emperor treat her like this!"
"Your Majesty, what should we do now?" Songzhi asked cautiously, fearing to anger Concubine Hua.
"What should we do?" Hua Fei's eyes rolled and a sinister smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
"I will never let her have an easy time!"
For several days in a row, Yinzhen would go to Shen Guiren's place whenever he had nothing to do. Although he did not sleep with her, it was still a great honor for him.
In addition, the emperor granted her the right to assist in managing the six palaces, and for a time, she became the number one among the new concubines.
"Your Majesty, please eat something. You haven't eaten for a whole day." Songzhi held the bird's nest porridge and begged Concubine Hua.
Concubine Hua sat in front of the dressing table angrily, not even looking at her, and just said angrily: "Eat! Eat! Eat! You only know how to eat! How can I eat anything now!"
"But my queen, how can your body bear it if you don't eat?" Songzhi was so anxious that she was about to cry.
"The Emperor was only momentarily dazzled by Concubine Shen. When he comes to his senses, he will understand that you, Your Majesty, are the most..."
"Shut up!" Concubine Hua slammed the table, interrupting Songzhi's words.
"Who allowed you to mention that bitch in front of me?"
Songzhi was so frightened that she trembled all over and almost spilled the bird's nest porridge in her hand. She quickly knelt down and said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, please calm down. I know I was wrong and I will never dare to do it again!"
Concubine Hua took a deep breath and tried hard to suppress the anger in her heart. Looking at her haggard face in the mirror, she felt even more sad.
"I am unwilling to accept this! Why?! Why can Shen Meizhuang gain the emperor's favor so easily?!"
Concubine Hua gnashed her teeth, her eyes full of resentment: "Your Majesty, does he have me in his heart?"
Songzhi knelt on the ground, not daring to speak, and could only listen to Concubine Hua's complaints silently.
"Songzhi, tell me, what makes me inferior to Shen Meizhuang?!" Concubine Hua suddenly turned her head and stared at Songzhi with sharp eyes.
Song Zhi was startled by Concubine Hua's sudden look and stammered, "Your Majesty, you... you are of course very good, but Shen Meizhuang... how... how can she compare to you..."
Inside Broken Jade Pavilion.
"Congratulations, sister. You are appointed as the assistant manager of the six palaces. This is a grace that many people cannot even ask for." Zhen Huan spoke softly, but there was a barely perceptible loneliness in her tone.
"Huan'er, why are you so depressed?" Shen Meizhuang asked with concern. She saw that Zhen Huan was always worried lately and it was rare for her to smile happily.
"It's nothing, I just feel that this harem is too complicated and exhausting." Zhen Huan forced a smile and shook her head.
"You are just too kind." Shen Meizhuang patted Zhen Huan's hand and comforted her. "This harem is inherently dangerous. We just need to keep our duties and do what we should do. We don't harm others, and others can't harm us."
"Sister is right." Zhen Huan nodded, with a hint of helplessness in her tone.
"I heard that all your servants have gone elsewhere?" Shen Meizhuang asked with a hint of anger in her tone.
"It's too much!"
Zhen Huan shook her head and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, they have their own choices, I won't force them."
"Sister Mei, now that you are highly valued by the Emperor, it is inevitable that you will become the target of public criticism." A trace of worry flashed across Zhen Huan's eyes, and her tone was somewhat solemn.
"Empress Hua has always been narrow-minded. This time you are helping to manage the six palaces, she will definitely not let it go. Her brother Nian Gengyao is a general with a large army. Even the emperor gives him some respect, let alone the harem."
Shen Meizhuang smiled slightly, patted Zhen Huan's hand gently, and said, "Don't worry, I know what I am doing and I won't let anything happen to me. You should also take good care of yourself."
The next day, outside Jingren Palace.
Concubine Hua was angry because the Emperor had not visited her for a long time, and she had just been mocked by Concubine Qi and the Queen, the two old and ugly women. Although she retorted, she still felt very upset.
When she comes out and meets all these pretty girls, she is bound to pick one of the unlucky ones to vent her anger on.
