Zhen Huan knelt down for a long time to give birth, and the emperor and queen rushed back to the palace after hearing the news. Zhen Huan lost her son, the emperor blamed himself, and the empress pretended to comfort her.

Concubine Hua learned that Zhen Huan had a miscarriage and knew that she had committed a serious crime, so she had to take off her hairpin to plead guilty under Cao Guiren's persuasion.

The emperor was furious, abolished Qi Hua's position as noble concubine, stripped her of her title, demoted her to the position of concubine, and punished her to kneel outside the gate of Yikun Palace every day at noon for two hours to think about her mistakes. The emperor took into account the power of the government and Nian Gengyao, and could not kill Concubine Hua as Zhen Huan wished, so Zhen Huan was disheartened.

When Nian Gengyao learned that his younger sister Concubine Hua had fallen out of favor, he wrote a letter of remonstrance to the emperor, bluntly telling the emperor that neglecting his younger sister would chill the Nian clan and destabilize their status. The emperor was in a dilemma, so he asked the king of Guojun to find out what he said, but the king of Guojun shied away on the grounds that he was "not in the position and not seeking to govern", which dispelled the emperor's suspicion.

Zhen Huan was immersed in the pain of losing her child and couldn't extricate herself. Jinxi comforted her. Zhen Huan complained that the emperor's words were heard by the emperor who came to visit, and she stopped. The emperor was frustrated, and came to the queen mother, telling the story that the Huanyixiang he had given to the concubine Nian had caused Zhen Huan to have a miscarriage. He blamed himself, and the queen mother comforted the emperor.
