Chapter 156 Shen Meizhuang 26
The emperor frowned. Mei'er hadn't even taken two bites of rice when he got angry. He put down his chopsticks with a snap, put his hands together, pouted and refused to eat.
How can this be possible?
"Eat more, Mei'er. What if the little one in your stomach is hungry? Be good."
Shen Meizhuang grabbed the pigtail behind his head and refused to give in. "Little guy, your life is almost gone, are you still afraid of being hungry?"
The emperor sighed deeply, he really didn't want to deal with these annoying things. He still understood the queen's methods. This matter was purely the queen's way of casting a wide net and catching more fish. Nothing could be found out about her. In the end, it would at most be that the Ministry of Internal Affairs was not doing its job properly.
But Mei'er kept making trouble around him, and the emperor got annoyed for a while. He just thought that the queen was a qualified legitimate mother, but now she caused all kinds of trouble. It seemed that the Ulanara family was living too comfortably.
"Su Peisheng, go check!"
After the emperor spoke, Shen Meizhuang finally looked happy. In fact, the emperor didn't care much about any of the third prince and princesses in the palace, or the fourth and fifth princes outside the palace. However, she was not happy that the emperor was so unkind to the child in her belly!
One should love his own children. To be as indifferent to his own offspring as the emperor is like heavy snow in summer - rare!
Shen Meizhuang could see that the emperor was somewhat special towards her now, although she didn't know how much and why, but it was enough for her to test it step by step to the current situation.
If one day the emperor gets tired of living with her like this, she can turn back into her original lovely and affectionate self.
Everything shall be done according to the Emperor's wishes.
Therefore, to this day, when the two of them are together in private, no matter whether Shen Meizhuang is acting or making a fuss, she always holds back, knows her limits, and is prepared to get back to her original form.
With her family background and current status, she could live well in the palace even if she was not favored. But if she was favored, she could live better and more comfortably.
She entered the palace to serve the emperor. She was from the Fuyin family. To put it bluntly, her family was eager to send her to the emperor as a concubine.
In particular, the more she understood the emperor, the more she realized how mean and ungrateful he was, and the more she realized that her pride and noble character, as a person, were worthless in the eyes of the emperor.
The emperor didn't know that in just a short while, Shen Meizhuang beside him had been thinking about all sorts of things. After this happened, he had no appetite to eat anymore.
"Okay, I will definitely give you an explanation for this, okay?" The emperor came over and put his arm around her shoulders. The queen thought that even if the matter was discovered, she could get away with it, but she forgot that such a thing happening in the harem meant that she was not managing well. Since the queen couldn't manage it well, then someone else should do it.
"This is what the emperor said, and he cannot break his promise." Having said this, Shen Meizhuang stopped while she was ahead. She touched her belly with a loving face and said, "The child also knows that his father is venting his anger for him."
Hearing this, the emperor was stunned, staring at Mei'er's abdomen without focus. How could the child know...
Alas, the past cannot be retrieved. The emperor has already moved on from the past and is unwilling to look back.
After a while, the queen came to Changxi Pavilion.
Shen Meizhuang got down from the bed and bowed to the queen, "Greetings, Her Majesty."
Yixiu smiled kindly and said, "Please get up, Concubine Yi."
Yixiu had never thought that someone would expose this matter. If someone in the harem found that there was something wrong with the gift, wouldn't they just put it aside and not use it? Who would make a fuss in front of the emperor?
But she was not panicking. For something like this, she just had to say that she was unaware of it and push it away.
"Your Majesty, I heard that there is something wrong with the supplements you sent?"
"Hmm," the emperor sat on the couch unmoved.
Yixiu spoke earnestly, "Your Majesty, I am the legitimate mother of this child, but someone used me to harm this child."
As expected, Yixiu completely denied the matter. The emperor looked at her and said, "Let's wait until the truth is found out."
Su Peisheng didn't investigate for long before he brought someone back to report that it was a young eunuch from the Imperial Household Department who accidentally put the tonic and safflower together. He has now confessed his guilt and committed suicide. In short, it had nothing to do with the Empress.
Yixiu said thankfully, "Fortunately, we have investigated it thoroughly, so that there is no direct rift between me and Yipin."
Shen Meizhuang smiled and looked at the emperor. Is that the end?
Of course not. The emperor felt guilty when she looked at him. He coughed twice and said, "The queen managed the harem, but she made such a big mistake."
"Your Majesty," Yixiu knelt down and begged for forgiveness, looking at him with sad eyes. It was obvious that this matter had nothing to do with her, so was His Majesty going to punish her?
"Order Concubine Hua, Concubine Duan, and Concubine Jing to help the Empress manage the six palaces." The Emperor was so cold-blooded that he punished Yixiu directly without any regard for her feelings and face.
At this moment, Yixiu hated Shen Meiyu. It must be said that Yixiu really understood the emperor. Normally, the emperor would never lose her face like this. He issued the decree so quickly that she didn't even bring up Rouze. It must be Shen Meiyu who was doing bad things behind her.
