Ling'er checked the finished scented sachet over and over again before sending it over. Coincidentally, Imperial Physician Wang was taking her pulse, while Meng Zixian was waiting quietly by the side.
"Imperial Physician Wang, can you help me take a look at this scented sachet? Can the herbs within it be suitable for your highness Dai to use during this time?" Meng Zixian opened the scented sachet for Imperial Physician Wang to see.
Imperial Physician Wang poured out some of the dregs and sniffed them. "They're all blood circulation to dissipate blood stasis, so it's fine."
Meng Zixian felt much more at ease, and passed the Jade Sunflower to Dai Yu He, "Rest assured that you can take care of your body, the child will still have it."
Dai Jade Sunflower nodded silently. At this time, Chen Huai and his men had come in. When they saw Meng Zixian, they still greeted him warmly, "Young Master Meng, long time no see."
Meng Zixian looked straight at her and gave a slight curtsey. "Greetings, Imperial Concubine Jing."
"How have you been, Young Lord Meng?"
"Thank you for your blessings, esteemed wangfei's well-being." Mencius was disgusted by Chen Huaizhi's display, but he could not brazenly refute it.
"Chenqie will take her leave first." Meng Zi saluted respectfully, then left with Ling'er.
Chen Huai inadvertently glanced at the scented sachet in Dai Yu Zhi's hand, then took it from Dai Yu Zhi's hand and lightly sniffed: "Truly excellent embroidery, and the taste is pretty good as well."
Dazzling Jade Sunflower made all the servants by his side retreat before sitting up. "Empress, do we have to proceed with the next step?"
"We got it, why not?" Chen Huai Zhia threw the scented sachet onto Dai Yu Zhi's body.
Meng Zijing had lived a peaceful life for several days, but nothing serious had happened to the harem. It had been too quiet and terrifying.
The calm before was a sign of a big storm. Although Meng Zixian wasn't very worried, she still felt her eyelids twitching and her heart was restless.
Sure enough, her prediction was correct.
Behind Chen Huai Zhe, Dai Yu Zhi, a strong and healthy servant pushed open the door and entered. Chen Huai Zhe walked in slowly and covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief, as if he despised the environment here.
With Chen Huaizhi in the lead, he waved his hand and said lightly, "Search." And the maidservant that was brought with her rushed in, and searched all over the place, and turned things into a mess.
"Empress, what are you doing?" Meng Zixian looked at them silently, then turned her head to greet them.
Chen Huai Zai revealed an awkward expression, "Some people said that it was you who practiced the voodoo Gu technique to frame your benefactor, and your child is the one who didn't do that."
"I am here to investigate. I should be in charge of Lord Dai's handprint. Little Lord Meng, please do not be afraid."
Meng Zixian saw that she was putting on an act and calmly said, "What did a concubine not do that makes her feel guilty about?" However, she was actually a little worried in her heart. Last time, she did not find out which parts of the chambers had been moved. Chen Huai Zhi must have been certain that the items were still there before she dared to search them.
Meng Zi's heart was beating like a drum, but her face was as calm as water. She stood there silently for a hundred years, magnanimously letting this group of people search her.
However, unexpectedly, she didn't find anything. Meng Zixian was also puzzled as she didn't believe that Chen Huai would let her go.
"Imperial Concubine, since we haven't found what you're looking for, can we return this concubine's silence?"
Chen Huaizhi no longer wanted to pretend as she stood up, "Someone, tie Meng Zixian up."
Meng Zixian was surrounded by a few sturdy palace maids. She angrily said to Chen Huai, "Imperial Concubine! What are you doing? "
Chen Huai Zhe glanced at Dai Yu Zhi and Dai Yu Zhi then stepped forward, taking out their scented sachet, staring at her fiercely, and threw the scented sachet onto her body: "What are you doing? The thing inside is something that will harm others! "
"Honored Master Dai, don't lie in the open. At that time, I let Imperial Physician Wang see it. He said there's nothing out of the ordinary about it, and it's good for your body as well!" Meng Zixian was kicked in the knee by a few of the palace maids standing next to her.
"Imperial Physician Wang, go get him." Chen Huai had a faint smile on his face as he ordered his men to go to the Grand Hospital.
When Meng Zixian saw this, she knew that someone had really made a scene out of it.
Imperial Physician Wang arrived very quickly. When she asked if there was anything wrong with the scented sachet, she refused to admit it. As matters stood, Meng Zixian had never thought that Imperial Physician Wang would stand on her side.
The corners of her lips curled up as she smiled mockingly, "Imperial Concubine, do you know that this scented sachet was actually gifted to me by Huai Zhaoyi? This concubine hasn't done anything."
Chen Huaizhi walked up to her and looked down at her condescendingly. "It was you who did it."
"Imperial Concubine Chen!" Meng Zixian shouted, "I, Meng Zixian, never know how to work a woman. Look at the patterns on the embroidery work and compare it with Huai Zhaoyi's!"
Chen Huaizhi, however, did not listen. Holding the scented sachet, she said slowly, "That would be an accomplice. Go and bring the embroidery of Huai Zhaoyi over for evaluation, lest we misunderstand."
"As for Meng Zixian, lock her up first."
Meng Zixian and Ling'er were taken away, each locked in a separate room. This was the prison cell of the harem, which was dark, damp, and cold. Chen Huai didn't let them put down the quilts and let them stay inside.
Meng Zixian was furious and heavily hammered the railing, but not long after, Huai Qingge was locked in. Now, two of them were neighbours in the opposite cell.
Huai Qingge, who was dressed in luxurious clothing, sat there without sadness or joy. She calmly said, "I didn't expect that you would scheme against me so long ago. Even if you die, you have to drag me down with you."
Meng Zixian couldn't be bothered to look at her. Ignoring her, he turned around and whispered to Ling'er.
Huai Qingge was infuriated by her attitude, she suddenly stood up, grabbed onto the railing, and yelled at Meng Zixian, "Meng Zixian! If it wasn't for you, how could I have suffered like this! "
Only then did Meng Zixian turn her head and seriously said to her, "You can't live with your own sins. I haven't settled the score with you since you set me up."
"Besides, the one you should blame shouldn't be me, right? You were doted upon by the Emperor, yet you were actually pulled down by Chen Huai Huai. You must have done something to let her down. Relying on the fact that the two of you are in an alliance, how could you let me have her?"
Meng Zixian smiled sarcastically, "I was just tricked this time. I didn't expect that Dai Jade Sunflower would be like this."
The two of them faced off, but neither of them noticed Chen Huaizhi who had entered. Chen Huaizhi listened for a while, then clapped and cheered, "Truly a dog biting a dog. This scene, is extremely good."
When Huai Qingge saw her, she immediately said angrily, "Chen Huai Zai, what is the meaning of this!"
Chen Huai Zai walked in front of her, looked at her, and said with a face as cold as ice: "I said I could help you, but I didn't ask you to plot against me!"
Huai Qingge thought about it. The only thing she wanted to make Chen Huai Zhi suffer was to design Gu Jing Yuan to Chen Huai Zhi.
Chen Huai heaved a deep sigh, and silently looked at them. "All of you, must die."
