Story of Yanxi Palace: Fu Ying's banner will never fall

Chapter 122 Concubine Chun "Broken Defense"

When Empress Fucha heard this, she quickly stood up, stretched out her hands to help Concubine Yi up, patted her hands gently, and said softly:

"Why bother with such a grand ceremony? Since I already know about this matter, I will definitely protect you and will not let those with ulterior motives succeed again."

Concubine Chun also came over, held Concubine Yu's hand, and said kindly, "Yes, the Queen has always been very caring towards us sisters in the harem. You can rest assured that the Queen will protect you."

Concubine Yu was so grateful that tears welled up in her eyes. She choked up and said, "Thank you, Queen, and thank you, Concubine Chun!"

The Queen smiled and comforted her, "Don't worry, everything will be fine. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can always come to me or Concubine Chun."

The four of them exchanged a few more heartfelt words, and then Concubine Yi and Noble Lady Yu stood up and left.

After leaving Changchun Palace, Concubine Yi turned around and asked Concubine Yu: "Let's go see Wei Yingluo? She saved your life, we should thank her in person."

Concubine Yu nodded, "Yeah, I think so too."

After the two of them left, Concubine Chun was extremely happy, her face full of joy, "Your Majesty, now Concubine Yi and Concubine Yu are finally willing to stand on our side."

Empress Fucha felt a little amused about Concubine Chun's love of forming cliques, but she still smiled gently and said lovingly, "Jinghao, no matter which side they stand on, I will protect the baby in Concubine Yu's belly."

Concubine Chun's expression changed. She looked at the Queen with a complex emotion in her eyes. "But, Queen, if you do this, it will only make Concubine Gao hate you even more."

Empress Fucha sighed softly and said with a firm look, "I understand, but I cannot give up protecting Concubine Yu because I am afraid of Concubine Gao. The child in her belly is the blood of the emperor and the future prince or princess. I have the responsibility to protect their safety."

Concubine Chun gritted her teeth, a trace of unwillingness in her eyes, "But... the last incident almost harmed you and damaged your reputation. Concubine Gao was quite dissatisfied with your shielding of Wei Yingluo, and now there are people in the palace saying that you are overly protective."

Concubine Chun's tone was filled with some complaints. She felt that the Queen was too kind and always sacrificed herself to help others.

Empress Fucha smiled slightly, patted Concubine Chun's hand, and said gently: "I know you are worried about me, but I cannot go against my conscience. Although Wei Yingluo acted impulsively, she had no ill intentions. She just wanted to protect Concubine Yu."

Concubine Chun frowned, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated, but she still said, "But this time, they didn't come to beg you, so you shouldn't go."

Concubine Chun still felt extremely scared. Wei Yingluo was an impulsive and reckless person who almost harmed the Queen. She became more and more dissatisfied with her.

Empress Fucha shook her head, indicating that she disagreed with Concubine Chun's point of view, and said with a smile, "Once we enter the palace, we are all family. Moreover, this is the heir to the throne. I have the responsibility to protect him."

Concubine Chun sighed helplessly. She knew that the Queen was always kind-hearted and would not change her mind easily.

As soon as Empress Fucha finished speaking, before the palace servants had time to report, Fucha Fuheng came in with a smile on his face, brisk steps, and a look of joy on his face: "Sister! Father finally agreed, and he will send someone to the Wei Mansion to propose marriage today!"

This was the first time that Fu Cha Fu Heng was so reckless. He didn't know that his words would completely change Concubine Chun into a different person...

Empress Fucha was delighted at first, feeling happy that her father had finally figured it out.

But then she realized that Concubine Chun had always secretly liked Fu Heng, and this must be a big blow to her, so the Queen immediately stopped smiling and looked at Concubine Chun worriedly.

Concubine Chun suddenly froze, her face became extremely solemn, as if she was frozen in place, unable to move.

Her heart seemed to be suffering from the pain of a knife. She knew that Fu Heng would get married sooner or later, but she didn't expect it to happen so soon...

Yu Hu, who was beside Concubine Chun, saw that she had lost her composure, and quickly reached out and gently pushed Concubine Chun, reminding her in a low voice: "Master..." At the same time, he hinted to her with his eyes that the Queen was watching her.

Concubine Chun woke up as if from a dream, and quickly came back to her senses. She quickly put on a gentle smile, nodded to Fu Heng, and congratulated him: "Congratulations... Master Fucha."

Fu Heng only realized that there were outsiders present at this time, and he immediately felt a little embarrassed. He was so happy before that he didn't notice Concubine Chun at the side. He quickly bowed to Concubine Chun and said respectfully: "Thank you, Concubine Chun."

Afterwards, Fu Heng hurriedly said to the Queen in a serious tone: "Your Majesty, Fu Heng will go back to the palace to prepare first." After saying that, he turned and left, his steps seemed very brisk.

Empress Fucha smiled slightly, nodded, and looked at Fu Heng's receding figure, sighing in her heart.

She couldn't help but start thinking about how to explain this to Jinghao so that she would feel better.

Concubine Chun looked at Fu Heng's departing back, and the chill in her heart grew stronger, as if someone had poured a basin of cold water over her from head to toe.

This feeling was even colder than pouring cold water on her head... Her fingers trembled slightly as she tried hard to calm down.

After a long while, Concubine Chun managed to calm down and smiled again. She asked casually, "Empress, which lady is Lord Fucha going to propose to?"

Concubine Chun was full of doubts, because she really couldn't remember which "Wei Mansion" in the capital was the home of a minister. She couldn't suppress her curiosity, and without caring about anything else, she asked eagerly.

Empress Fucha's expression became a little embarrassed. She knew that her best friend Su Jinghao was extremely proud and would absolutely not be able to accept that her beloved was going to marry a girl from the Imperial Household Department's bannermen family.

After hesitating for a moment, she said softly, "That person... is Wei Yingluo."

As expected, upon hearing this name, Concubine Chun's face instantly turned as pale as paper, and her body shook involuntarily. She widened her eyes, looked at Empress Fucha in disbelief, and asked with trembling lips, "Wei Yingluo?!"

There was a hint of shock and anger in her voice, as if she couldn't understand why Fu Heng would choose such a lowly woman.

Empress Fucha nodded, with a hint of helplessness in her eyes. She knew that this incident was undoubtedly a heavy blow to Concubine Chun, but she was powerless.

Concubine Chun's eyes gradually became gloomy. She clenched her fists tightly, her nails digging deeply into her palms, and a strong feeling of jealousy and unwillingness surged in her heart.

She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself, but she still felt a sharp pain in her chest.
