" Minjin, you need to be more cautious lately. Both the inner palace and the court are not very stable," Long Huan warned with a serious expression during their time together.
Minjin nodded. Although she appeared carefree on the surface, she understood her current situation well.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will be careful. However, if those people dare to provoke me, I won't let them off easily," she said playfully, winking with a confident smile.
Yet, danger quietly approached.
During the preparations for the palace banquet, the eunuch responsible for procuring the banquet supplies suddenly went missing, along with a large sum of silver.
The officials from Imperial Household Department were in a panic and hurried to report to Long Huan.
Upon learning of this, Long Huan was furious and ordered a thorough investigation.
Minjin realized that there might be a larger conspiracy behind this incident and decided to take part in the investigation herself.
She took Chun Qiu with her and quietly visited the inner palace in search of clues.
During the investigation, Minjin discovered some suspicious signs.
She noticed that Wan Pin had been acting unusually lately, frequently associating with unfamiliar individuals.
Minjin couldn't help but wonder if this incident was related to Wan Pin.
Minjin decided to start with the palace maids around Wan Pin to find a breakthrough. She sent her trusted maid to pretend to befriend Wan Pin's maid, secretly extracting information.
After some effort, she finally had a breakthrough.
During a casual chat, Wan Pin's maid inadvertently revealed that Wan Pin had had contact with the missing eunuch.
Upon learning this news, Minjin immediately informed Long Huan.
Long Huan promptly ordered an investigation into Wan Pin.
After a thorough search, evidence was finally found proving that Wan Pin was the mastermind behind the scheme.
It turned out that Wan Pin had instructed the eunuch to steal the silver meant for purchasing supplies for the palace banquet in order to embarrass Minjin and make her look foolish.
When Long Huan learned the truth, he was furious.
He ordered that Wan Pin be sent to the cold palace and severely punished others involved in the matter.
“Wan Pin, as a consort in the imperial harem, how could you commit such an act? You have truly disappointed me,” Long Huan said coldly, looking down at Wan Pin who knelt on the ground.
Wan Pin was in tears, repeatedly bowing her head and pleading for mercy. “Your Majesty, I realize my mistake. Please spare me this once.”
However, Long Huan had made up his mind and ignored her pleas.
As Wan Pin was dragged out of the hall by the guards, she shot a vicious glare at Minjin and muttered, “Don’t get too smug; one day you’ll end up just like me.”
Minjin watched the figure of Wan Pin being taken away, feeling a deep sense of reflection within her.
In this deep palace, such struggles would never cease.
After this incident, the harem temporarily returned to a state of calm.
Minjin and Long Huan cherished their feelings for each other even more.
As time passed, Minjin's belly gradually began to swell; she was pregnant.
This news filled Long Huan with overwhelming joy, and he took even greater care of Minjin.
The entire harem was immersed in happiness, eagerly anticipating the arrival of new life.
However, Minjin did not let her guard down because of this.
Her child could become a target in the eyes of some; she had to protect herself and her baby.
During Minjin's pregnancy, Long Huan personally arranged for the best physicians to attend to her, checking on her health every day.
Minjin also worked hard to adjust her mindset, preparing for the new life that was about to arrive.
