Concubine Duan weighs the power of the Queen and Concubine Hua, and visits Zhen Huan at night to point out her interests and form an alliance. When Concubine Hua learned that Zhen Huan was pregnant, she was shocked and angry. She resented Concubine Duan for making her unable to conceive again, and humiliated Concubine Duan in revenge. Concubine Hua suspected that the imperial doctor around her was unreliable, so she invited her brother Nian Gengyao to recommend a caring and reliable doctor for her. Dr. Chen, a famous doctor who had served in Nian Gengyao's army, came to check Concubine Hua's pulse. Aunt Sun, who was next to the queen mother, tried to make him understand the reason why Concubine Hua couldn't conceive. Like other imperial physicians in the palace, he remained silent.

When the emperor returned to the palace, he was overjoyed to learn that Zhen Huan was pregnant, and made Zhen Huan a concubine of Guan. The emperor lamented that his heirs were cold, and asked the queen to take good care of Zhen Huan and not to hurt her. The queen was terrified. Ling Rong gave Zhen Huan a bottle of family heirloom soothing gel, telling her that the medicine is very effective in removing scars. However, Lingrong put a lot of musk in this ointment, and pregnant women will definitely hurt the fetus in the abdomen if they use it for a long time; Zhen Huan didn't know it, and still regarded Lingrong as a true sister. Zhen Huan was officially conferred the title of Concubine Guan, and her status in the palace increased day by day.
