Zhen Huan was favored by the Empress Dowager, and she was not pleased by seeing the Empress, and was neglected by the Emperor, so she passed the time by practicing calligraphy every day. The Empress Dowager loves Zhen Huan, and deliberately trains her to learn calligraphy and copy scriptures, so as to calm her mind. The nobles of Fucha took advantage of their pregnancy and pampered them to be proud, and offended Zhen Huan, Concubine Hua and others. Cao Guiren wanted to provoke a dispute between Concubine Hua and Zhen Huan, but was used by Zhen Huan instead.

At the beginning of spring, the epidemic broke out in the palace, and the maids and eunuchs kept getting sick, and everyone was in danger. The queen asked Concubine Hua and others to clean up their palaces. The vicious concubine Hua instigated Zhou Ninghai to donate the utensils used by the people in the epidemic palace to Mei Zhuang who was in confinement, and Mei Zhuang became ill. Zhen Huan wanted the emperor to help Meizhuang, but the emperor was worried about the safety of the people in the capital and the government, so he had no time to meet her. Zhen Huan asks Wen Shichu to take care of Meizhuang, Shichu keeps her promise and takes the risk to take care of the seriously ill Meizhuang, Meizhuang is moved. In order to help Zhen Huan consolidate her status, Wen Shichu searched hard for a cure for the epidemic.

The people sent by Zhen Huan found the imperial physician Liu Fan who framed Meizhuang, and Liu Fan personally admitted that Concubine Hua was the mastermind behind the scenes. The emperor suspected that Liu Huan had arranged for Zhen Huan on purpose, and Zhen Huan felt chilled. The emperor pardoned Meizhuang, lifted his ban, and demoted Hua Concubine.
