Chapter 148 Planning
"Chaopin doesn't need you to worry about that, but I made this arrangement for deeper considerations."
Cui Jinxi cooperated and bowed at this time.
"As the Queen orders."
Huimin helped her up with satisfaction, showing the utmost respect for others.
"I'm sure you know what happened to Wanpin today."
"Wanpin was smart and always cautious, yet she ended up like this. I can't help but feel sad for her."
Seeing Huimin like this, Jinxi said, "Your Majesty, you are different from Wanpin..."
Huimin stopped her from talking, "Yes, they are different, but all the women in this palace have a similar characteristic."
"To serve the emperor is like serving a tiger. Even I cannot guarantee that I will not make any mistakes. Everyone in Chengqian Palace follows me and is also caught in the trap."
Huimin changed her name and held Jinxi's hand.
"My aunt has been in the palace for many years and is an experienced old lady."
"When Chengqian Palace is in trouble, I hope my aunt can enlighten me in Chuxiu Palace. A bystander can see clearly and warn me."
When Cui Jinxi saw that Huimin was willing to use her, she knew that this was an opportunity given to her by Concubine Xian.
Without hesitation, she helped Huimin sit down on the chair.
"My lady, I swear to be loyal to you till death and will never betray your trust."
Cui Jinxi never regretted choosing Xilin Gioro over Zhen Huan. This woman was extraordinary. Cui Jinxi believed that she was the wise leader that she could choose.
This time, Cui Jinxi will not hesitate.
Seeing Cui Jinxi's loyalty, Huimin smiled and asked her to sit down.
"Jinxi, you can only see some things clearly for me when you are not by my side."
"My lady, I know everything."
The two have a perfect understanding.
Now that this is the most important thing, Huimin couldn't help but remind him:
"Over at Chuxiu Palace, Concubine Chao is too straightforward. Although I have cleaned up the palace and the concubines living there will not harm her, once I leave, it will be much easier for someone to take action against her. I need you to keep an eye on her."
"She has a personality that easily offends people. Please help me persuade her."
……
Cui Jinxi responded to each one seriously.
While Huimin was planning for the future, Shuiyuxuan was filled with worry and sadness.
The emperor ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to only assign the rank to Wanpin according to the promised rank.
Shen Meizhuang went to the Yangxin Palace early in the evening to plead for Concubine Wan.
But no matter how much she begged, the emperor refused to see her.
The weather is cold this year and charcoal is particularly scarce. According to the share that Zhen Huan had promised, she didn't get any good charcoal to begin with, and it was also withheld by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Even the rice is rotten.
Now that she, Zhen Huan, has fallen on hard times, everyone wants to step on her.
After seeing this, Huimin restrained the people in her palace, asking them to be careful with their words and actions and not to gossip about Yuxuan.
He also reminded Xia Dongchun, which made An Lingrong feel more at ease as she has always been cautious.
No one can enter or leave Shuiyuxuan now. The palace servants all want to step in. The master is like this, and the servants are living a life worse than death.
Just like Xiao Yunzi, he had a high fever but no one gave him any medicine even when he begged for it.
Huimin asked someone to give him medicine in private, but he mostly relied on himself to get through it.
He is her own man and is loyal to her. Huimin will not let him down.
I don't want Xiao Yunzi to lose his life like this.
Now no one can get out of Suiyuxuan.
Shen Meizhuang was at her wit's end and went to find Huimin.
She has been enduring for a long time, and she has become much more haggard during this period.
"Min'er, what should I do? The emperor won't see me."
Huimin looked at Shen Meizhuang. She was truly thinking about Zhen Huan.
"The three of us sisters depend on each other in the palace. Now Huan'er is in trouble, we..."
Huimin listened quietly, and waited until Shen Meizhuang had finished pouring out her panic and fear over the past few days before she spoke:
"Mei Zhuang, as sisters, we naturally have to consider Huan'er. But you went to ask the emperor for help."
"I also went to ask for an audience with the Emperor, and Concubine Jing also pleaded for mercy, but what was the result?"
"The result is," Huimin looked at Shen Meizhuang seriously, "the result is that the emperor didn't see anyone."
"Mei Zhuang, we can't be impatient now. The more impatient we are, the more mistakes we will make."
"Yeah,"
Shen Meizhuang looked at Huimin anxiously, "Min'er, yes, we can't be anxious, but in this situation, how can we not be anxious?"
Huimin looked at Shen Meizhuang in front of her and slowly stood up.
"Due to the emperor's love for Queen Chunyuan, he will not allow anyone to offend the queen. No one can shake his mind about the house arrest."
"And we all know that Huan'er is very proud and is not the type to voluntarily bow her head. But the emperor... he is the emperor, it is even more impossible for him to voluntarily bow his head."
"This matter is not something you and I can control."
How could Shen Meizhuang not know this? But she really had no choice. Zhen Huan's current situation had made her desperate to try any possible means.
"But if you and I don't speak up for Huan'er, who else can speak up for her?"
Huimin looked at Shen Meizhuang in front of her, she really gave her heart to her sister.
Zhen Huan has a good sister.
"The weather is too cold now. I heard that Suiyuxuan hasn't had charcoal fire for a long time. Wanpin is weak, how long can she hold on?"
"The emperor didn't see us because he didn't want us to plead for Wanpin. This time we will ask the emperor for something else. We sisters have the power to assist in managing the six palaces. We can ask the emperor for instructions on this matter and ask him to severely punish the Ministry of Internal Affairs."
"The Emperor will not tolerate deceiving superiors and deducting salaries."
"By then, we can save the country in a roundabout way."
After listening to Huimin's advice, Shen Meizhuang also felt a little hopeful.
"Yes, Min'er, you still have a way."
"No matter what, we have to try."
Shen Meizhuang looked at Huimin with emotion, "Back then, you spoke up for justice, and I felt that you, Min'er, were someone worth getting along with. Later, Min'er helped me and Huan'er many times."
"This kindness is something I will never forget in my lifetime."
Huimin also looked at Shen Meizhuang with tears in her eyes.
"We entered the palace together and have a deep bond."
"Help Huan'er, help you. Only if we sisters work together can we survive in the harem."
Shen Meizhuang looked at Huimin and her heart was completely softened.
On the second day, Shen Meizhuang asked to see the emperor, saying that the Ministry of Internal Affairs had withheld the allowance and confined Concubine Wan to her home, but this should not be the case according to the rules, and she requested the emperor to conduct a thorough investigation.
Later, all six palaces received the news, and the emperor summoned the remaining three people who assisted in managing the six palaces to the Yangxin Palace to inquire about the truth.
Huimin asked the emperor for punishment for her failure in assisting the six palaces.
Concubine Jing followed closely behind. Although Concubine Lan disliked Zhen Huan, she did not want to be different at this critical juncture. Seeing that everyone was apologizing, she also knelt down.
When the emperor saw that it was true, he was slightly relieved.
Although he was unhappy because Concubine Wan wore Chun Yuan's clothes, she was the woman he had loved after all.
The emperor was not happy to see how she lived.
So Shen Meizhuang was allowed to visit, but she was not allowed to go without permission.
Knowing that Shen Meizhuang and Zhen Huan have a good relationship, the Emperor specially chose one of them to be with her.
Concubine Lan doesn't like Zhen Huan.
The emperor was hesitating between Concubine Jing or Huimin, and Concubine Jing took the initiative to ask for his companionship.
The emperor changed his tone and made the decision.
"Xianfei and Huipin will go together."
