Chapter 219 Consort Fucha
Chapter 219 Consort Fucha
Big Fat Orange said, "This is a pattern that Consort Duan used to frequently use back then."
Upon hearing this, Su Peisheng was startled, and some vague fragments of memory flashed through his mind.
After a long while, he suddenly remembered Princess Qi from back then.
Su Peisheng suddenly realized what was happening and quickly bowed, saying, "This servant is dull-witted and does not have the same good memory as Your Majesty."
Big Orange waved his hand, indicating that Su Peisheng didn't need to blame himself, and then gave the instructions:
"Go and investigate secretly, starting with Consort Duan's former confidants, and see if there are any suspicious people."
Su Peisheng hurriedly replied, "This servant obeys."
Fu Yurao, in the east side hall, grew increasingly anxious.
She stayed by the window, waiting for news from the west wing.
Actually, she had considered visiting the West Side Hall, but Fucha Peiyun had sent her away.
Damn it!
Fu Yurao was most worried about the fetus in Consort Shun's womb.
I don't know if this pregnancy was saved.
She didn't know that this had been discovered so early.
Time passed second by second, but Fu Yurao's book remained stuck on the same page; she had no interest in reading at all.
Her thoughts had already drifted to the west side hall.
After waiting for an unknown amount of time, Fu Yurao felt extremely anxious and restless.
Just when she was about to lose control,
Finally, Fu Yurao's personal maid rushed in like a gust of wind.
His face was flushed, and he was panting as he reported:
"Your Majesty, news has come from the west side palace: Consort Shun's baby is safe!"
This news came as a bolt from the blue, leaving Fu Yuyao utterly shocked.
She stared wide-eyed at the palace maid in disbelief, as if she had heard the biggest joke in the world.
How could this be? How could Shun Guiren's luck be so good?
She was originally confident about the plan and was certain that Consort Shun's child would not survive.
Safflower is a good thing; it promotes blood circulation, removes blood stasis, relieves pain, and regulates menstruation.
However, pregnant women should not touch it; it won't be long before Consort Shun miscarries.
But now, things have developed in a way that is completely beyond her expectations, leaving her both shocked and frustrated.
Although her heart was in turmoil, Fu Yurao quickly regained her composure.
He feigned composure and asked with feigned concern:
"How is Consort Shun doing?"
Seeing this, the palace maid standing to the side assumed that Fu Yurao was worried about Consort Shun.
He quickly bowed and replied:
"Your Highness, although Consort Shun has saved the baby, she has lost her virginity..."
Her body is still very weak and she needs to take medication to prevent miscarriage and recuperate.
Fu Yurao was very disappointed upon hearing this.
She had originally hoped that Consort Shun would die along with her unborn child, but in that case...
Then one could eliminate one of the old emperor's illegitimate children without anyone noticing.
However, now Consort Shun has not only saved the fetus.
Her own plan seemed to have been exposed, which greatly disappointed her.
It seems that finding another opportunity to take action against Consort Shun will be extremely difficult.
After all, we've already alerted her, and Consort Shun will definitely be extra cautious towards her.
Moreover, with such a sudden incident occurring in the palace, the two empresses will surely investigate thoroughly.
What if the investigation leads to my sister?
Thinking of this, Fu Yurao felt a sudden panic, and a layer of fine sweat broke out on her forehead.
She couldn't help but feel a little regretful; she had been far too hasty.
We should have waited for a more suitable opportunity.
She just couldn't understand how such a subtle method could be discovered so quickly.
Just as Fu Yurao was lost in thought, a sudden burst of noise interrupted her.
The sudden commotion made Fu Yurao even more flustered.
Her first thought was that her actions had been discovered, and that the people who were there to arrest her had probably arrived by now.
Indeed, if you have a clear conscience, you have nothing to fear.
Fu Yurao tried to calm herself down. She took a deep breath.
He forced himself to remain calm and looked at the palace maid, asking:
"Go and see what's going on outside."
The palace maid quickly replied:
"Your Highness, it should be the servants outside helping Consort Shun move to a new palace."
"Move the palace?" Fu Yurao asked in surprise.
"What palace relocation?"
The palace maid replied, "Your Majesty, the Emperor said that Consort Shun is still young and lacks experience."
However, Yanxi Palace lacked a principal consort capable of taking charge.
Therefore, Consort Shun was moved to Xianfu Palace, where Consort Jing and Consort Hui resided.
Upon hearing this, Fu Yurao's heart tightened suddenly.
Consort Jing and Consort Hui reside in Xianfu Palace, neither of whom are easy to deal with.
Now, let's talk about Consort Jing, who has served the Emperor since his time as a prince.
Only by being extremely cautious throughout was he able to protect himself in the deep inner palace.
However, without some skill, how could one gain a foothold in this treacherous court?
As for Consort Hui, Fu Yurao did have some impression of her.
She seems to have a close relationship with her older sister.
What's puzzling is that since she entered the palace, she has never been seen to have much contact with her sister.
I don't know what happened.
Now, Consort Shun has been specially sent to Xianfu Palace by the Emperor.
They will likely receive close protection from Consort Jing and Consort Hui.
In this way, it would be even more difficult for me to make a move against Consort Shun.
Just as Fu Yurao was deeply worried about this matter,
Suddenly, a thought flashed through her mind: it seemed a bit illogical for Consort Jing and Consort Hui to live in the same palace.
Logically, once Consort Hui reached the rank of Imperial Concubine, she should have been entitled to reside in her own palace.
But why does she still live with Consort Jing to this day?
Fu Yurao turned to look at her personal maid beside her, and asked with a puzzled expression:
Why are Consort Jing and Consort Hui still living in the same palace?
The palace maid quickly bowed and replied:
"Your Majesty, to the best of my knowledge, Consort Jing and Consort Hui share a deep and abiding friendship."
Consort Hui voluntarily agreed to reside with Consort Jing in Xianfu Palace.
The palace maid paused briefly, then continued:
"When Consort Hui first entered the palace, she was assigned to Xianfu Palace."
At that time, Consort Hui was not yet favored by the emperor, and Consort Jing took good care of her.
Later, Consort Hui was promoted, but she still refused to move out of Xianfu Palace.
Furthermore, Xianfu Palace is spacious, so even with two empresses residing in the same palace, it didn't feel crowded.
Upon hearing this, Fu Yurao secretly pondered that these two, living in the same palace, must be quite powerful.
If Consort Shun were to move to Xianfu Palace, his plans would likely become extremely difficult.
Despite feeling somewhat unwilling, Fu Yuyao understood that it was not advisable to act rashly at this time.
To avoid arousing suspicion.
She had no choice but to temporarily stop what she was doing and suppress her anxiety.
Pretending to be nonchalant, I listened to the sounds coming and going in the west wing.
However, at that moment, Fu Yurao was suddenly startled.
She couldn't help but wonder if the old emperor's sudden order for Consort Shun to move out of Yanxi Palace was because he had become suspicious of her.
