Chapter 212 Consort Fucha
Chapter 212 Consort Fucha
After paying her respects, Nian Shilan walked to Fucha Peiyun's side and said:
"This Consort Zhao seems to be quite cunning."
She seemed to harbor some ill intentions towards that fool, Consort Wen.
You'd better watch out for her, and don't let her do anything bad to us.
"And we also need to keep an eye on Hongchang's situation."
Fucha Peiyun nodded slightly in agreement:
"I could tell too. This person is meticulous and shrewd. We must not let anything happen to those children."
Don't worry, I know what I'm doing.
Fucha Peiyun paused slightly, then continued:
"I will tell Hongchang to pay more attention."
Of course, I'll need your help to keep an eye on things for me.
Nian Shilan nodded in agreement:
"Don't worry, I certainly won't stand idly by."
After leaving Kunning Palace and riding in a sedan chair for a while, Zhen Huan clutched her chest, looking uncomfortable.
Jinxi, walking beside the sedan chair, kept a close eye on Zhen Huan's movements.
Seeing Zhen Huan's uncomfortable expression, his heart tightened, and he quickly asked with concern:
"Your Majesty, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Zhen Huan clutched her chest, seemingly trying to suppress her discomfort, and whispered:
"I am feeling unwell. Tell them to slow down."
Upon hearing this, Jinxi immediately ordered the eunuchs carrying the sedan chair to slow down.
At the same time, he looked at Zhen Huan with a worried expression and asked:
"Your Majesty, shall we return to Suiyu Pavilion to rest and then summon the imperial physician to examine you again?"
Zhen Huan weakly waved her hand and said:
"No need. I'm just a little tired. I'll be fine after a rest."
Although Jinxi still felt somewhat uneasy, seeing Zhen Huan's insistence,
There was nothing more to say, so I could only stay by her side in silence.
Before long, everyone else had gone far away, leaving only Zhen Huan's sedan chair slowly moving forward on the palace road.
At this moment, Fu Yurao also caught up.
She saw Zhen Huan's sedan chair from afar and knew that her sister was waiting for her.
Fu Yurao quickly walked to the sedan chair, bowed to Zhen Huan, and asked with concern:
"Your Highness, are you alright?"
Upon seeing Fu Yurao, Jinxi quickly bowed to her:
"This servant greets Noble Lady Zhao."
Fu Yurao nodded, and Zhen Huan smiled slightly, saying softly:
"I'm fine, just a little tired."
Her smile held a hint of weariness, yet also a gentle warmth.
Fu Yurao nodded, then leaned slightly closer to Zhen Huan and said in a voice only the two of them could hear:
"Sister, I can handle all of these things, you don't need to worry about me."
The Empress has long since exempted you from paying your respects, all for my sake.
You even went out of your way to come and pay your respects despite being ill; I understand your good intentions, sister.
Zhen Huan took Fu Yu Rao's hand and said:
"Yu Rao, you've grown up, but no matter how old you are..."
In my heart, you are always someone I want to protect.
How can I not worry when you're doing something so dangerous?
I'm afraid you'll be too eager for revenge and put yourself in danger.
Fu Yurao's eyes reddened slightly, but she said firmly:
"Sister, I know what I'm doing and I will never put myself in a desperate situation."
I will proceed cautiously, waiting for the right opportunity to make my move.
Zhen Huan gently patted her hand and said earnestly:
"Yu Rao, revenge is important, but you must not act impulsively."
The inner palace appears peaceful now, but that only underscores the power and influence of the two empresses currently in power.
Fu Yurao nodded and said, "Don't worry, sister, I will definitely not act rashly."
Then, puzzled, he asked, "But why are there two empresses in the palace, and they seem to have a good relationship?"
Upon hearing Fu Yurao ask this, Zhen Huan sighed and said:
"After the late empress was deposed for several years, I did consider becoming the new empress."
But above me was Empress Nian Shilan, who was then an Imperial Noble Consort.
And then Empress Fucha Peiyun, who was the Noble Consort Shu at the time.
Then there are Consort Jing and Consort Qi, but they have long fallen out of favor and pose little threat.
I then planned to stir up conflict between Nian Shilan and Fucha Peiyun, to make them fight, and then I would find fault with them.
It's a pity that these two have maintained a peaceful relationship for so many years.
Later, when the emperor wanted to establish a new empress, both Nian Shilan and Fucha Peiyun were qualified, making it difficult for the emperor to choose.
So I suggested to the emperor that two empresses be established.
I actually hoped they would fight, but unexpectedly they remained at peace.
For so many years, the imperial harem has remained peaceful and undisturbed.
After hearing this, Fu Yurao frowned slightly and said:
"Sister, are these two really so harmonious?"
Isn't there even a single usable gap?
Zhen Huan shook her head and said:
"After observing them for so many years, I've found that they always discuss things with me and never leave me any room for maneuver."
I suspect they must have reached some kind of agreement.
Her words carried a hint of helplessness.
Fu Yurao was greatly disappointed by this result.
She entered the palace seeking revenge, not only wanting to kill the old emperor,
She wanted him to be childless, and sooner or later she would make a move against the sixth prince of the Eastern Palace Empress.
This sixth prince was the old emperor's most outstanding son. If he were to die, the old emperor would likely be heartbroken.
With these two empresses having such strong control, her plans are going to be difficult to execute.
But she's not one to give up easily.
It's not easy to take action against these princes who have already established themselves, so let's start by getting rid of the pregnant concubines in the harem.
"Sister, you're saying there are so many pregnant concubines in the harem now..."
Zhen Huan immediately guessed Fu Yu Rao's thoughts. Zhen Huan said softly:
"Yu Rao, do not act rashly."
For so many years, no one in the imperial harem had conceived, but this time, suddenly so many women were pregnant at the same time.
This reminds me of what happened shortly after Empress Fucha Peiyun gave birth to the Sixth Prince.
Many women in the palace became pregnant at the same time and gave birth to princesses safely.
Among them were Consort Jing, who had been unable to conceive for many years, Consort Jin, and Consort Xin, among others.
Currently, all the high-ranking concubines in the palace, except for those I can say, are people of Fucha Peiyun.
I suspect that she was also behind the fact that so many people in the palace got pregnant at the same time.
If you rashly make a move on a pregnant concubine, it will definitely arouse her suspicion.
Not only will the plan be difficult to implement, but you yourself will also be in danger.
Fu Yurao bit her lip, feeling somewhat unwilling, but she also understood that Zhen Huan's words made sense.
She was silent for a moment, then asked:
"Sister, what do you think I should do?"
Zhen Huan pondered for a moment and said:
"For now, we can only hold back and observe from the sidelines."
Let's see if there are any other hidden stories behind these many pregnant concubines.
Before we can take action, we need to understand the situation thoroughly.
With so many pregnant women, there are bound to be areas they can't supervise.
Fu Yurao nodded, her eyes resolute.
"Don't worry, sister, I will be careful."
But the path to revenge is so arduous; who knows when he will finally achieve his goal?
Fu Yurao was actually worried about Zhen Huan's health.
