Concubine Jia thought of the concubine's dog and invited the concubine to go to the garden with her.It happened that the Queen and Yu Guiren were also visiting the garden. She persuaded Yu Guiren to go out more often, and Yu Guiren praised the Queen for her tolerance.Yu Guiren was very afraid of dogs. When he saw Concubine Gao's pet dog Snowball, he was very scared and wanted to leave early, but Concubine Gao saw him and asked her why she was leaving in such a hurry. Guiren Yu had no choice but to step forward to say hello to Concubine Gao.Yugui wanted to resign, but Jiabi took the opportunity to ask the little eunuch who was guarding the snowball to release the snowball, which shocked Yuguiren.Seeing this, Yingluo stepped forward to chase away Xueqiu and save Yu Guiren, but she was scolded by Jia Concubine for her actions, accusing her of daring to hurt the concubine's pet dog.The imperial concubine was furious and asked Yingluo to pay for her life, but Yingluo argued that she was thinking of the imperial concubine.The queen ordered Mingyu to see if there was anything strange about Snowball. Mingyu said that she had not noticed anything and wanted to take it back to the palace to have a look.The imperial concubine was angry and refused to allow others to touch her pet dog, so the concubine Jia was busy trying to smooth things over.The queen warned the concubine to take good care of the people around her, and she would not let it go if she caused trouble again.After returning to Chuxiu Palace, Concubine Gao was angry that Concubine Jia used Snowball to attack Yugui for the benefit of her son.Concubine Jia defended herself, claiming that it was for the sake of the concubine, and that by getting rid of the concubine Yu, the snowball was just an introduction, and there would be a follow-up.After Yu Guiren was frightened, Yingluo sent pearl powder to Yonghe Palace for the queen to calm her down.When Yingluo was giving Yuguiren medicine by Fangcao, the palace maid next to him, she discovered that she had replaced the pearl powder that Yuguiren was taking with poisonous shell powder.Fangcao said that because her mother was seriously ill, she took cheap shell powder and replaced it with pearl powder.Yingluo threatens Fangcao and takes her to see the queen, and Fangcao reveals that it was Princess Jia who ordered her to do so.The concubines threatened the maids of Yonghe Palace, saying that Yonghe Palace would turn into an ice cellar and they would not be favored by the emperor.Yingluo analyzes the two escape routes for Concubine Yu. Yugui is furious and wants to report the matter to the queen. Yingluo advises Concubine Yu not to talk too much and get herself into trouble.Use Fangcao and wait for half a month for Jiabi to send new shell powder, so that all the evidence can be confirmed.Eunuch Chunwang lost his prestige due to the incident of returning to Concubine Xian last time. Not only was he humiliated and ridiculed by others, but he was also bullied and even deprived of food.In desperation, he had to steal Snowball's food to eat, and his life was very miserable.The emperor ordered people to prepare lychee trees for the queen, and the queen was very happy.The queen said that she just wanted to hold a tea party. As soon as Mingyu wanted to take the initiative to take care of the lychee tree, the queen asked Yingluo to take care of it.Yingluo said that she was careless and might not be able to take care of her. The queen insisted on taking care of Yingluo. Mingyu was so angry that Yingluo received the queen's favor.Yingluo carefully wrote down the number of lychees and handed it over to Manager Wu, who praised her for doing things well.On the other side, Fangcao was eager to show her guilt and meritorious service, and asked someone to tell the concubine and concubines that Yu Gui had been feeling unwell recently and had obvious abdominal pain because she ate shell powder.When reporting the matter, Jiabi did not expect that a small amount of medicine would have such quick effects. She thought something was fishy, so she did not immediately give her the shell powder.Fangcao found Yingluo and asked her if she could forgive her sins by giving up her merits. She told Yingluo that Jiabi would ask Xiaoshuang to give her shell powder at the lychee banquet tomorrow.When Concubine Xian was desperate, Concubine Chun showed up and gave her some silver, saying that she was different from Concubine Gao.Concubine Chun said that she was borrowing a favor, and she would have to be sorry if Concubine Xian didn't want it.Concubine Xian was still obsessed with her heart and did not want to participate in any struggles in the palace, so she rejected Concubine Chun, who then went to Changchun Palace.The next day was the lychee feast, and everyone talked about how precious lychees were.On the other side, Yingluo caught Ah Shuang and gave her shell powder to Fangcao, but unexpectedly, Concubine Jia had already noticed this and did not give her shell powder.Yingluo warned Ah Shuang that he would be caught one day.Ah Shuang stopped Yingluo and delayed time.After Yingluo left, she realized that something might have gone wrong with Lychee.
