Episode 9
Concubine Hua saw that Zhen Huan was favored and had good relations with Mei Zhuang, so she tried to instigate a relationship between the two. Unexpectedly, Mei Zhuang was unmoved. Zhen Huan treated her honestly, and the two became more affectionate than before.In order to keep her safe, Zhen Huan begged the emperor not to pamper her exclusively to avoid the jealousy of the Sixth Palace.The emperor followed the instructions and went to Changchun Palace to visit Concubine Qi. Zhen Huan felt disappointed. Concubine Qi had not been favored by the emperor for many years. She was clumsy and tongue-tied, and she had no idea. The emperor was very fed up and decided to visit Zhen Huan.
Concubine Hua failed to separate, so she decided to get rid of Meizhuang first to avoid future troubles.She used the excuse of letting Meizhuang learn about the Sixth Palace and deliberately made things difficult for Meizhuang. Meizhuang took the overall situation into consideration and did not compete with him.The emperor paid his respects to the Queen Mother, who suggested that the Emperor should be exposed to both rain and dew, and not favor only Wangui.The emperor felt unhappy but did not dare to contradict her. When he heard that Li Concubine had been here, he knew the clues and withdrew Li Concubine's green card.
Concubine Hua is the only one in power, and the queen cannot interfere, so she can only turn a blind eye.Concubine Hua used another trick. While Mei Zhuang was returning to the palace late at night, she deliberately asked someone to divert the maids around Mei Zhuang, leaving Mei Zhuang alone by the Thousand Carp Pond.Zhou Ninghai, the eunuch beside Concubine Hua, pushed Mei Zhuang into the pool. Mei Zhuang didn't understand the nature of water and almost drowned.Meizhuang was rescued and returned to the palace. Concubine Jing took good care of her and never left her. The emperor also came to visit.
Concubine Hua was now fully dressed and came to visit with prepared tonics, saying that she would punish Shen Guiren's maid for failing to take good care of her master.Everyone saw that Concubine Hua was well prepared, and she must have sent someone to do it for Shen Guiren to fall into the water.The next day, Meizhuang woke up and told Zhen Huan clearly that it must be Concubine Hua, but there was no evidence, so she had to bear it temporarily, but she would fight Concubine Hua to the end, which worried Zhen Huan.The emperor, empress, and concubines all saw the clues, but they had no choice but to leave it alone.
