Chapter 131 Consort Fucha regains favor 131
After Wen Shichu left, Zhen Huan frowned slightly and asked Huanbi again:
"Huanbi, you shouldn't attract attention in the Cold Palace."
Who found out you were pregnant?
Huanbi shook her head blankly and said:
"Elder sister, I don't know either."
I was sitting in the yard, enjoying the sun, when suddenly I felt a tremendous force coming from behind me.
They shoved me violently to the ground, and then I passed out.
Then it seemed like I saw the Emperor come to the Cold Palace.
Zhen Huan had no choice but to ask another question:
Did you see who pushed you to the ground?
Huanbi thought for a moment, then shook her head in confusion.
She said, "Elder sister, I really don't know!"
It happened so suddenly, I didn't even have time to see what the person looked like...
It's a sunny day, and I just wanted to sit in the yard and enjoy the good weather.
I never expected them to suddenly push me.
Just then, a cautious voice came from outside the door:
"My lord, may I come in?"
Zhen Huan gently tucked the blanket around Huan Bi, and then said:
"Come in."
Xiao Yunzi entered immediately, quickly walked to Zhen Huan, respectfully bowed, and said:
"My lord, I have just gone out to gather information."
Zhen Huan smiled and praised:
"Well done, Xiao Yunzi. Tell me what information you found out?"
Xiao Yunzi hurriedly replied, "Replying to Your Highness, this servant has learned that..."
It seems that the Imperial Noble Consort learned of Consort Huan's pregnancy and informed the Emperor.
That's why the Emperor took Imperial Physician Wen with him to the Cold Palace.
Upon hearing this, Zhen Huan frowned, puzzled, and asked:
"How did the Imperial Noble Consort know that Huanbi was pregnant?"
Upon hearing this, Huanbi guessed, "Elder sister, could it be that the Imperial Noble Consort sent someone to secretly push me?"
Zhen Huan gently shook her head, frowning as she said:
"In my opinion, it shouldn't be her."
If she truly wanted to harm you, why would she have told the Emperor that you were pregnant?
Wouldn't that expose our true colors and be a losing proposition?
The person I suspect most is still the Queen.
I just wonder if His Majesty can investigate this matter thoroughly, and if so, whether he will pursue the matter further.
Huanbi asked nervously, "Elder sister, will Her Majesty the Empress send someone to harm me and the child again?"
Zhen Huan said, "From now on, be careful with what you eat and use. Avoid leaving Suiyu Pavilion if possible."
Zhen Huan sighed as she spoke, "This is why I made you stay in the Cold Palace temporarily."
Although the Cold Palace had a poor environment, it wasn't particularly eye-catching either.
Zhen Huan then looked at Xiao Yunzi and asked, "Xiao Yunzi, besides this, what else have you found out?"
Zhen Huan actually wanted to know about Yunli, but unfortunately, Yunli couldn't understand her meaning.
Xiao Yunzi said, "This servant only heard about the five young ladies who entered the palace in this selection."
The most favored was Consort Wen, of the Guarjia clan, followed by Consort Wan, of the Lin clan.
Zhen Huan: "Is there nothing else?"
Xiao Yunzi shook her head.
Upon hearing this news, Huanbi immediately became anxious.
This new concubine has only been in the palace for a short time and is already so favored, how can she not be anxious?
After her time in the Cold Palace, Huanbi finally realized the truth: she was no match for her elder sister.
She couldn't compare to her elder sister in looks or talent, nor was she as clever.
If it weren't for her elder sister protecting her in this harem, she would have died countless times over.
She's currently pregnant; if it weren't for her older sister protecting her...
She wasn't confident she could give birth safely.
Huanbi, holding Zhen Huan's hand, said urgently:
"Elder sister, you'd better hurry up and think of a way to regain favor!"
Even if you don't think of yourself, you should at least think of your mother, Mrs. Amar, and your sister, Yu Rao, who are suffering so far away in Ningguta!
Zhen Huan frowned slightly and sighed softly:
"Huanbi, although the ban on Suiyu Pavilion has been lifted..."
But this doesn't mean the Emperor has no lingering resentment towards the past.
Zhen Huan now wants to regain the emperor's favor. Since love is unreliable, she wants power.
She wanted to climb higher so she could protect the people she wanted to protect.
Moreover, she was already pregnant with Yunli's child, but she couldn't bear to give it up.
She has no news of Yunli now, so her best option is to regain favor as soon as possible.
Pretend that the child in her womb is the emperor's child.
Just then, Jinxi's voice rang out from outside the door, "My lady, may Liuzhu and I come in?"
Zhen Huan said, "Come in."
Jinxi pushed open the door, followed by Liuzhu carrying a tray.
Zhen Huan saw the medicine in the bowl and said, "Huanbi, drink your medicine first."
Liuzhu brought the medicine to Huanbi's bedside and felt heartbroken to see how haggard and thin Huanbi had become.
They grew up together, and although Liuzhu somewhat resented Huanbi for climbing into bed behind the young mistress's back.
But seeing Huanbi suffer still breaks her heart.
Huanbi took the medicine bowl, glanced gratefully at Liuzhu, and said softly:
"Liuzhu, thank you."
After saying that, he drank it all in one gulp.
Liuzhu: "You've gotten so thin! You're six months pregnant and still so thin!"
She must have suffered a lot in the cold palace.
Huanbi put the medicine bowl aside, picked up the warm water next to her, and drank a sip or two to wash away the bitterness in her mouth.
Huanbi thought, "Thankfully, at least I didn't go mad or become stupid like the others in the Cold Palace."
Seeing this, Xiao Yunzi quickly and quietly excused himself from Zhen Huan. Zhen Huan waved her hand.
Xiao Yunzi left.
Zhen Huan felt heartbroken seeing Huan Bi trying to find joy amidst hardship; indeed, one can learn anything quickly with a little instruction.
She couldn't go on like this. Zhen Huan looked at Jinxi.
"Jinxi, I want to regain your favor. What are your thoughts?"
Jinxi hesitated for a moment and said
"If His Majesty comes to Suiyu Pavilion tonight to see the pregnant Consort Huan, then the Consort can take advantage of the situation."
Zhen Huan asked, "What if the Emperor doesn't come to Suiyu Pavilion?"
Jinxi said, "My lady, let's see if the Emperor will come to Suiyu Pavilion tonight before making any plans."
Zhen Huan nodded slightly, "Then let's wait and see."
Night fell quietly, and everyone in Suiyu Pavilion held their breath in anticipation.
After much deliberation, Big Fat Orange finally decided to come to Suiyu Pavilion.
Zhen Huan received the news
So he quickly took off his clothes, leaving only his thin undergarment.
Then, she instructed Liuzhu to quickly bring over her long flute.
Zhen Huan, holding a long flute, leaned gently against the bed, her head slightly lowered.
The beauty under the candlelight was frail and haggard.
Big Fatty Orange was leading Su Peisheng toward Suiyu Pavilion.
Before he even stepped into the Broken Jade Pavilion, he heard a familiar, melodious sound of a flute drifting over.
The melodious and plaintive sound of the flute instantly pierced through the heartstrings of the chubby orange cat.
It made him involuntarily recall all the wonderful moments he had shared with Huanhuan in the past.
Apricot blossoms in the light rain, flute music played until dawn.
These memories came flooding back, causing him to stop in his tracks.
After pausing for a moment, the chubby orange cat quickened its pace.
They hurriedly stepped into the Broken Jade Pavilion.
Upon seeing this, Su Peisheng immediately knew that the emperor had rekindled old feelings.
This is going to be a turnaround for Dongguan.
After entering Suiyu Pavilion, the chubby orange cat did not go directly to Zhen Huan's main hall.
Instead, he went to the side hall to visit Huanbi, who was pregnant.
As he slowly walked into the side hall,
When his gaze fell upon Huanbi, who lay pale and haggard on the bed...
A complex look flashed in his eyes.
Huanbi is the descendant of a disgraced official, no less so than Li Jingui back then.
However, he had very few sons; having one more would be better than nothing.
Huanbi was overjoyed to see that the chubby orange had indeed come to Suiyu Pavilion.
It seems that the eldest sister has a good chance of regaining favor.
Huanbi sat up, intending to bow to the chubby orange.
Big Fatty Orange hurriedly intervened. Although he didn't particularly like Huanbi, Huanbi was pregnant after all.
"No need for formalities. You're still pregnant, and you've been assaulted today; it's best not to move around too much."
Then, the chubby orange cat asked softly:
"Are you feeling any better?"
If you experience any discomfort, be sure to inform the imperial physician immediately.
Huanbi nodded slightly, a docile look appearing on her face as she said:
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I feel much better now."
The fat orange said, "Tomorrow I will have Su Peisheng send you some top-quality tonics."
You need to take good care of your health.
Upon hearing this, Huanbi quickly expressed her gratitude:
"Thank you for your great kindness, Your Majesty. I will certainly follow your imperial decree and take good care of my health so that I can give birth to my child safely."
After a pause, Huanbi said, "As soon as I heard the sound of the flute, I knew that my elder sister was missing the Emperor again."
My health isn't good enough to serve Your Majesty.
"Your Majesty, why don't you go and visit your elder sister?"
Big Fat Orange paused slightly, looking in the direction from which the sound of the flute came, a hint of tenderness flashing in his eyes.
He gave a soft "hmm," and then gave Huanbi a few more words of advice, such as taking good care of herself during her pregnancy.
After saying things like "Take care of yourself."
The chubby orange then turned around and strode towards the main hall where Zhen Huan was.
The chubby orange cat followed the sound of the flute towards Zhen Huan's bedroom.
Gently pushing open the door, one sees Zhen Huan dressed in her undergarments, sitting by the bedside.
Holding a long flute in his hand, he played the tune from the day they met.
Her hair was slightly loose, with a few strands brushing against her fair cheeks, adding to her charming and delicate beauty.
Zhen Huan noticed someone entering, slowly put down her long flute, and looked towards the doorway.
When she saw that the person who came was Big Fat Orange, her eyes flashed with disbelief and surprise.
It took Zhen Huan a while to realize what was happening.
He quickly stood up and gave a slight curtsy to the chubby orange.
Big Fat Orange stared at Zhen Huan in front of him and noticed that she was becoming increasingly thin and her face was also very haggard.
At this moment, Zhen Huan made him feel as if he were seeing Chun Yuan from back then.
Slowly, the two figures overlapped.
Big Fatty Orange snapped out of his daze and quickly reached out to support Zhen Huan's arm.
"Huanhuan, why do you look so haggard?"
The chubby orange cat said softly, its words filled with heartache.
Zhen Huan lowered her head slightly, seemingly trying to hide her emotions.
However, when she looked up again, her face was covered in tears.
"Si Lang, I thought you would never set foot in this Broken Jade Pavilion in your entire life."
Zhen Huan's voice trembled slightly, filled with endless grievances and sorrow.
Seeing this, the chubby orange cat felt a pang of heartache and quickly stretched out its finger.
Gently wiping away Zhen Huan's tears, he softly comforted her:
"Huanhuan, don't cry, I can't bear to part with you either."
"But Zhen... I will not pursue the matter of the past."
Zhen Huan suppressed her disgust and made herself even more pitiful.
"Si Lang, as long as you're still willing to come see me, I'll be content."
The chubby orange cat, supporting Zhen Huan's shoulders, pulled her into its embrace.
Zhen Huan stiffened for a moment, then quickly relaxed and nestled into the arms of the chubby orange cat.
The next morning, the entire harem knew that Zhen Huan of Suiyu Pavilion had regained the emperor's favor.
Zhen Huan was promoted from Consort Wan to Noble Lady Wan.
The news spread like wildfire throughout the palace, and those unaware of the details became wary of Zhen Huan.
Zhen Huan is truly shrewd; even in such dire straits, she managed to turn things around.
At dawn, Jingren Palace was quiet, but the Empress keenly sensed something amiss.
After she stood up, she felt that the atmosphere in the entire Jingren Palace was strange.
The servants around her all kept their heads down, as if avoiding her gaze.
The Empress's suspicions grew stronger; what a mistress could not tolerate most was a servant deceiving and concealing the truth from her.
The Empress walked to her dressing table and sat down, increasingly feeling that these people were hiding something from her.
Do the servants of Jingren Palace also think that she, the Empress, has lost power?
They didn't take her seriously anymore.
In a fit of frustration, she slammed the comb in her hand onto the dressing table.
A sharp "snap" was heard, and the sudden sound startled everyone present.
Upon seeing this, Hui Chun and the other palace maids and eunuchs immediately knelt down in unison, repeatedly shouting:
"Your Majesty, please calm down! Your Majesty, please calm down!"
The Empress ignored their pleas for mercy and instead looked through the bronze mirror in front of her.
He stared coldly at Huichun kneeling behind him.
Her gaze was sharp as a knife, as if she could see right through him, and she asked in a deep voice:
"Eichun? What happened?"
Huichun was already feeling guilty, and this fright made her tremble even more.
She answered, trembling:
"Your Majesty, last night His Majesty...he went to Suiyu Pavilion."
Moreover…and she was also promoted from Consort Wan to Noble Lady Wan.”
Upon hearing this news, the Empress was struck dumb, feeling a rush of blood to her head and a metallic taste in her throat.
Immediately afterwards, she could no longer suppress the surging blood and qi within her body.
With a "pfft," he spat out a mouthful of blood.
The crimson blood splattered onto the bronze mirror, slowly flowing down.
It resembles a blooming blood-red flower, a shocking sight.
This was exactly the situation the Empress least wanted to see; the moment the Emperor discovered Huanbi's pregnancy...
Zhen Huan seized this opportunity and regained the emperor's favor. She is now Noble Lady Wan, and soon will be Consort Wan and Imperial Concubine Wan.
If she had known this would happen, she should have done everything in her power to ruin that bitch Zhen Huan's face!
That face, so similar to Rou Ze's, was Zhen Huan's greatest asset.
Once that face is gone, she'll see what Zhen Huan can rely on to regain power!
Unfortunately, I had been distracted by the news of Feng Ruozhao and the others' pregnancies.
As a result, a golden opportunity was missed.
Trying to kill a snake but failing to kill it will only result in harm to the snake itself.
The Empress vigorously wiped the blood spilling from the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief.
He glared angrily at Huichun beside him and demanded in a stern voice:
"Didn't His Majesty say last night that he would rest in the Hall of Mental Cultivation?"
How did you end up at Suiyu Pavilion…?
Huichun hurriedly shook her head and said:
"This servant does not know."
Your Majesty, you've already vomited blood.
"Why don't I hurry and go to the Imperial Hospital to fetch a physician to examine you?"
However, before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the Empress's angry rebuke:
"You're not allowed to go!"
Huichun was so frightened that she trembled and stood there frozen in place.
If the Emperor knew that she, the Empress, had regained the Emperor's favor, he would be so angry that he would vomit blood.
This will only make her situation more difficult.
