Chapter 225 Consort Fucha
Chapter 225 Consort Fucha
The Zhen sisters originally planned to scheme to get the concubine pregnant, but things didn't turn out the way they expected.
Not only did it fail, but it also resulted in Zhen Huan being imprisoned in Suiyu Pavilion.
This is truly a case of trying to steal a chicken but losing the rice instead!
Fu Yurao entered the palace full of confidence to seek revenge, but who could have imagined...
She had only just begun her journey when she encountered such a huge setback.
Now, Fu Yurao dared not move rashly again.
But it's impossible to get Fu Yurao to give up so easily.
The only thing she can do now is to directly attack the fat orange.
Each time she served the emperor, she secretly added some aphrodisiac incense.
Big Fat Orange is getting old; using something like this will probably shorten his lifespan.
As the days went by, Fu Yurao would secretly increase the amount of aphrodisiac incense she used each time she served the emperor.
At first, the chubby orange didn't notice anything unusual; it just felt exceptionally pleasant when it was with Fu Yurao.
However, as time went on, Big Fat Orange began to have health problems.
He often felt dizzy and listless, and his whole being became lethargic.
The chubby orange cat finally realized that something might be wrong with its body.
So he hurriedly summoned Wen Shichu to take his pulse.
Wen Shichu actually knew about the Zhen Huan sisters' plan all along.
Furthermore, with the tacit approval of Empress Fucha Peiyun and Empress Nian Shilan,
He naturally wouldn't reveal the true physical condition of the chubby orange.
After taking Da Pang Ju's pulse, Wen Shichu paused for a moment, then slowly said:
"His Majesty's health is not seriously affected; it's just that he has been overworked and somewhat indulgent lately, and besides, he is getting on in years."
You'll need to rest more in the future and recuperate for a while.
After hearing this, Big Fat Orange realized that he had indeed been acting rather recklessly these past few days.
There was a moment of awkwardness; even the chubby orange cat had read medical books.
Knowing full well that this was detrimental to health, he decided to take a break and cultivate his health in the days to come.
Take good care of your health
After taking Da Pangju's pulse, Wen Shichu hurriedly returned to the Imperial Hospital.
He wrote a secret letter and had it delivered to Fucha Peiyun at Kunning Palace.
Upon receiving the letter, Fucha Peiyun immediately smiled.
She knew that Fu Yurao's knife was proceeding according to her plan.
They will soon achieve their wish.
Therefore, Fucha Peiyun immediately sent a message to Wen Shichu, instructing him to continue according to the plan.
After receiving the message, Wen Shichu felt a little more at ease.
He summoned his apprentice, Wei Lin, and instructed him:
"Go to Suiyu Pavilion and take Zhen Huan's pulse."
Remember, everything must proceed according to plan.
Wei Lin nodded and arrived at Suiyu Pavilion with his medicine box.
When Wei Lin arrived at the entrance of Suiyu Pavilion, he was stopped by the guards.
Upon seeing this, Wei Lin immediately stopped, cupped his hands in a gesture of respect, and explained with a smile:
"My lords, I am Wei Lin from the Imperial Medical Academy."
"By order of Imperial Physician Wen, I have come to inquire about the health of Consort Wan."
The guards exchanged glances, and one of them asked, "Do you have any token?"
Wei Lin hurriedly took out a token from his pocket and handed it to the guard.
The guard took it and examined it carefully. After confirming that it was correct, he said to Wei Lin:
"Go in."
After thanking him, Wei Lin strode into the Broken Jade Pavilion.
When Xiao Yunzi saw Wei Lin approaching, he bowed slightly and said:
"Imperial Physician Wei, you've arrived."
Wei Lin nodded in acknowledgment, then entered the palace.
Zhen Huan was seen sitting on the couch, dressed in plain clothes, her face pale and showing signs of exhaustion.
Upon seeing Zhen Huan, Wei Lin immediately bowed and said:
"Your humble servant pays respects to the Imperial Concubine Wan. May Your Majesty live a thousand years!"
Zhen Huan smiled and said, "Please rise, Imperial Physician Wei."
Wei Lin stood up, walked to Zhen Huan's side, bowed again, and then said:
"Your Majesty, I have come on the orders of Imperial Physician Wen to inquire about your health."
Zhen Huan reached out and placed her hand on the pulse pillow, and Cui Jinxi placed a silk handkerchief on it for her.
Wei Lin sat to the side, carefully taking Zhen Huan's pulse.
After a while, Wei Lin finished taking Zhen Huan's pulse, stood up, and said:
"Your Majesty's pulse is normal; Your Majesty should try to reduce your worries."
Otherwise, this lifespan...
Zhen Huan was tired of hearing these words and interrupted directly:
"Thank you for your help, Physician Wei."
Wei Lin quickly replied, "This is my duty."
When Zhen Huan noticed that Wei Lin's expression was somewhat unusual, she knew that his visit was not just to have his pulse checked.
So she dismissed everyone else, leaving only Cui Jinxi by her side.
After everyone had left, Zhen Huan asked softly:
"But has Lord Wen sent word?"
Wei Lin nodded, leaned closer to Zhen Huan, and lowered his voice to say:
"Your Majesty, His Majesty's health is not as good as before due to the aphrodisiac incense used by Consort Zhao when she served him in bed."
Lord Wen advised the Empress to make plans as soon as possible.
Zhen Huan's expression changed upon hearing this; Yu Rao's actions were a bit too hasty.
Zhen Huan looked at Wei Lin and said, "Thank you, Physician Wei. I understand."
Please also thank Physician Wen on my behalf.
After seeing Wei Lin off, Zhen Huan said to Cui Jinxi
"Jinxi, could you please contact Eunuch Su?"
Cui Jinxi accepted the order and left, quickly making contact with Su Peisheng.
A few days later, Fu Yurao suddenly had a whim and decided to make a trip to the Southern Prefecture.
She was quite interested in the courtesans of the Southern Palace and wanted to see just how skilled they were.
Fu Yurao led her entourage in a grand procession to the gate of the South Mansion.
Before she could even speak, the steward of the Nan family had already spotted this distinguished guest with his sharp eyes.
The steward secretly guessed that this young lady must be Consort Zhao, who had recently become the emperor's favorite.
As soon as Fu Yurao stepped into the South Mansion, the steward quickly came forward, smiling obsequiously:
"This servant greets Consort Zhao. May Consort Zhao enjoy boundless blessings and peace!"
"What brings you to the Southern Palace today, Consort Zhao? Do you wish to hear music or watch a dance?"
Fu Yurao still had a cold expression on her face.
"Since I have nothing to do today, I've come here specifically to listen to the courtesans of the Southern Palace play a tune."
Let's also see how good they really are.
Upon hearing this, the manager hurriedly nodded and bowed, repeatedly saying, "Yes!"
"Your Highness, please rest assured, the courtesans of the Southern Palace have all been carefully selected and will surely satisfy you."
After saying that, he respectfully led Fu Yurao into the mansion.
Fu Yurao followed the steward of the Nan family into the main hall of the Nan family mansion.
Inside, several exquisite tables and chairs had already been set up, with various snacks and tea on the tables.
The steward of the Southern Mansion greeted Fu Yurao with a broad smile and welcomed her into the living room.
Then he carefully invited her to sit down on a chair covered with brocade.
After Fu Yurao was seated, the steward quickly turned around and loudly instructed the servants behind him:
"Quickly summon the courtesans to perform for Consort Zhao!"
After the attendants received their orders, a light footstep was heard shortly afterward.
Immediately afterwards, several courtesans dressed in gorgeous clothes gracefully entered the living room.
They were graceful and beautiful, each holding a different musical instrument, including the pipa, guzheng, and flute.
