Empress in the palace: Who poisoned the food when Shen Meizhuang was grounded for fake pregnancy?

There are concubines such as Hua Fei, Fei Jing and Empress who may poison Shen Meizhuang and want to kill them. So who is the most likely of these four people? Let's analyze them one by one, and hope that friends with different opinions or unique opinions can interact with Bian Xiao.

First Hua Fei

Did Hua Fei poison Shen Meizhuang? Bian Xiao's answer is no. Huafei can't want to hurt Shen Meizhuang. Hua Fei made Shen Meizhuang think that the reason why she was pregnant was actually very simple. She just wants Shen Meizhuang to lose the emperor's favor and let her become the emperor's favorite woman again.

And Huafei also told Zhen Xuan before, so wait for Shen Meizhuang to die of old age in the palace. What does this sentence mean? Of course, it is to let Shen Meizhuang live to die of old age in the palace. Since Huafei said such a thing, she was sure that Shen Meizhuang would never come out of the Leisure Moon Palace again. So how could she take such a big risk to poison Shen Meizhuang again?

Moreover, Huafei told the servants that she had to find Liu Fan and kill her when she found her, so she just wanted to avoid future trouble. She also knew that if the emperor or others found Liu Fan, then her affairs would be exposed. So, at this time, Huafei thought of killing Liu Fan instead of directly killing Shen Meizhuang. So in Hua Fei's heart, she just doesn't want Shen Meizhuang to get half an honor. She just wants her to lose her position in the emperor's heart, that's all. Therefore, Hua Fei can no longer poison Shen Meizhuang.

What's more, in that case, Hua Fei and Shen Meizhuang are at odds. If she poisons Shen Meizhuang in a big way again at this time, even if others don't doubt her, the emperor will doubt her. Hua Fei is reckless, but she is not stupid. Huafei would never do anything that would obviously throw dirty water on herself.

Then respect the princess.

So is it possible that Fei Jing poisoned Shen Meizhuang and then framed Hua Fei? This reason seems tenable, but it can't stand scrutiny. Why?

Everyone knows how to respect a concubine, and he is a very friendly person who is good to other concubines or servants. In character, she doesn't belong to the rivalry. Even though she and Hua Fei were never harmonious, they did not develop to the point of killing Hua Fei. If so, she did it years ago, so why wait until these newcomers come in to cheat?

Moreover, at that time, Shen Meizhuang lived with her in a palace. She is the main house. If anything happened to Shen Meizhuang at that time, all the concubines in the main palace would be implicated. Therefore, as a palace master, it is absolutely impossible for a princess to let this happen in her own place, otherwise she will be unable to escape responsibility.

And later, she also took the initiative to tell the emperor about Shen Meizhuang's poisoning. If she really did it, she wouldn't be stupid enough to say it. After all, the emperor was very disgusted with Shen Meizhuang's fake pregnancy and rivalry. If he told the emperor about the poisoning, the emperor might not really want to investigate. In this way, it will not help the princess. So the princess will tell the emperor, and when the emperor says it, he forgets it. As you can see, Fei Jing doesn't want to poison Shen Meizhuang, because it doesn't have any benefits and significance for her. On the contrary, improper operation can only get you into trouble.

So it's the queen?

At that time, the enemy of the Queen was not Shen Meizhuang or Zhen Xuan, but Hua Fei, so it was an excellent thing for the Queen to get the slightest honor from Shen Meizhuang. In this excellent situation, it is absolutely impossible for the queen to break this person who can help herself. So from this perspective, the queen will not poison Shen Meizhuang.

We know that the queen hates other women in the palace getting pregnant, so she may make Shen Meizhuang pregnant, but she will never let Shen Meizhuang die. However, Shen Meizhuang was found to be a fake pregnancy before the queen prepared to have an abortion, which was enough to reassure the queen, so how could she kill Shen Meizhuang by hook or by crook? It is totally thankless for the queen to do such a thing.

On the one hand, she killed a little promise that had fallen out of favor. Once the story is exposed, will the queen still be the queen? After all, Shen Meizhuang was only a small promise at that time, and it could not cause any oppression to the queen. Also, even if Shen Meizhuang was just a promise at that time and was grounded, it would inevitably be fulfilled again one day. At that time, Shen Meizhuang became a pawn for the queen to fight against Hua Fei, so how could the queen poison Shen Meizhuang?

The remaining one may be other little concubines.

The little concubines are jealous that Shen Meizhuang has just entered the palace and can get such an honor, and they can't hide that others are better than themselves. However, it is also unreasonable to say that the little concubines want to kill Shen Meizhuang, because they have no right or potential, and it is absolutely impossible to send the poisoned food to Shen Meizhuang seamlessly. So this conjecture is completely unnecessary and untenable.

So did Shen Meizhuang say that the emperor was going to commit suicide? Although Fei Jing denied her statement at that time, it is not impossible from Shen Meizhuang's point of view. However, from the emperor's point of view, he had no reason to kill Shen Meizhuang.
