Chapter 159 I will fight for you
She seemed to have no choice at all, but she changed from being reluctant to taking the initiative.
So just two days later, Cao Qinmo went to visit Concubine Hua again.
And she designed a vicious plan against Shen Meizhuang who had taken away the palace power - fake pregnancy!
Concubine Hua leaned half of her body on the low table, eating watermelon nonchalantly.
After listening to Cao Qinmo's plan, an inexplicable meaning flashed in her eyes.
Previously, when she was asked to find a way to get rid of Zhen Huan and others, she always made excuses.
Now she just changed her way of saying it, she was so impatient.
So, once people's own interests are involved, they immediately change their faces.
Facing Cao Qinmo's expectant gaze, Concubine Hua nodded without comment.
"Okay, then let's do as you say. Clean your hands and feet, and I'll ask Songzhi to get you some silver later."
When Cao Qinmo heard this, he subconsciously declined:
"Thank you for your kindness, Madam, but I haven't used the banknotes you gave me last time. Now I am giving you another one. I feel ashamed to accept it..."
Before she could finish her words, Concubine Hua had already held her hand.
"Things that can be solved with money are not problems. I just don't want you to take risks. If you get into trouble, what will Wen Yi do?"
Cao Qinmo's heart was greatly shocked, and she looked up at Concubine Hua in disbelief.
But Concubine Hua seemed to be just speaking casually and continued eating watermelon after that.
This attitude seems to be more like what is really in her heart, because Cao Qin tacitly believes that Concubine Hua does not have such strong acting skills...
Now she was really touched.
If you simply talk about her, she might not feel anything.
But the other party mentioned Wen Yi, who was her life!
She thought about how Concubine Hua had stopped the Queen's secret plot for her, allowing her to give birth to the child safely.
Later, she managed to get her to raise Wen Yi personally.
Although I used to lose my temper often, no one is perfect.
Empress Hua holds a high position and holds great power, so what's wrong with her temper!
Now that he is taking such great care of her and Wen Yi, she, a poisonous snake addicted to darkness, feels warm all over.
My queen, as long as you don't let me down, I will definitely overcome all obstacles for you!
Cao Qinmo was moved and left with a stack of banknotes.
Concubine Hua didn't think much of it, as she had plenty of money.
Compared with the money spent on hosting the banquet for the emperor, what was given to Cao Qinmo was just a drop in the bucket!
She just learned a lesson from the Fei Yunyan incident, and must not leave any clues when doing things.
Because once something happens, no matter whether she did it or not, the blame will fall on her.
Still the biggest one.
(／_＼)Big grudge
So asking Cao Qinmo to be careful is for your own good, my own good, and everyone's good.

Bitong Academy.
Zhen Huan was sitting under the windowsill doing needlework.
"My lady, Concubine Shen is here."
Liu Zhu walked in from outside and interrupted Zhen Huan who was smiling like an aunt.
"Sister Mei is here? Please come in."
As she spoke, she put down what she was holding and quickly stood up.
Shen Meizhuang came in from outside, dressed in purple, and looked more energetic than a few days ago.
"Huan'er, what are you doing..."
As soon as Shen Meizhuang came in, she saw a pile of fabrics and patterns placed randomly.
Zhen Huan smiled embarrassedly.
"Huanbi is pregnant, so I thought about making some clothes for the unborn baby..."
Under Shen Meizhuang's frowning gaze, Zhen Huan's voice became lower and lower.
She knew that Sister Mei had always disapproved of her trying to please Huanbi.
Sure enough, Shen Meizhuang said unhappily:
"Huanbi again, Huanbi, why do you think about her every day!"
It makes her look more like the emperor than your sister.
I think about how to please her every day.
Zhen Huan smiled and quickly changed the subject:
"I often think about Sister Mei. When Sister Mei gets pregnant, I will definitely be the godmother of the child."
As she spoke, she walked forward, took Shen Meizhuang's hand, and sat on the couch.
Liu Zhu had already sorted and put away those patterns.
These are what the young lady asked Lingrong to give to her. They are exquisitely made and cannot be lost.
When Shen Meizhuang heard her say this, she sighed subconsciously.
"The Emperor can't even summon me once a month, so how can I be pregnant?"
She really envied Concubine Chen's good fertility, as she got pregnant on her first night with him.
Moreover, she has been pregnant for more than three months and has passed the most dangerous period in the early stage.
I still remember that on the way to the Old Summer Palace, the horse was startled and Huanbi jumped out of the carriage and fell on her foot.
She didn't have a miscarriage, which shows how healthy she is.
The smile on Zhen Huan's face froze, and she thought to herself that she was really talking about something that was irrelevant.
Isn't this intentional to make Sister Mei sad?
I quickly changed the subject again:
"The Emperor still values my sister very much, otherwise why would he let my sister learn to manage the palace power?"
Now they finally talked about Shen Meizhuang's strengths, and a smile appeared on her face.
"Speaking of which, the Queen summoned me today to discuss how to save money in the palace."
Zhen Huan continued her words:
"What does sister mean?"
"I think the expenses of the imperial harem and concubines are too high, especially the excessive waste on food, so I propose to cut it in half."
"The palace's daily provision of mung bean soup to relieve the heat was too cumbersome and expensive, so it was cancelled and half of the money was distributed to the servants below."
Shen Meizhuang said this with a smile on her face. At that time, the Queen even praised her for her kind and elegant character.
He didn't notice at all that Zhen Huan beside him had a strange look on her face.
The treatment of concubines was halved, and the mung bean soup supplied to the servants was cancelled.
Her sister Mei has offended everyone above and below her!
Especially those servants below, they must hate her to death.
Ugh.
Shen Meizhuang saw her sigh suddenly and said curiously:
"What does Huan'er mean? Is there something wrong with what I did?"
Zhen Huan shook her head.
"Sister Mei's intention is good, but can the money converted from the mung bean soup really be distributed to those servants?"
If it is mung bean soup, everyone can at least drink a few sips.
But after the money is deducted at every level, who gets the money?
Moreover, some concubines were not favored and were treated very poorly.
Now it has been downgraded again, I’m afraid some people will suffer.
And on weekdays, the concubines would share the unfinished food with the servants below.
This is also the way they can get some benefits.
How much profit will be left after the halving?
Shen Meizhuang was stunned for a moment. She had never thought about this question before.
In her opinion, the servants below must strictly carry out the orders given by the superiors.
I can only say that we are too idealistic and forget that this is a world where people eat each other.
"This, this is what to do!"
Shen Meizhuang thought about it deeply, and felt extremely horrified, so she quickly grabbed Zhen Huan's hand and asked.
