Chapter 856 [Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace 46]
After careful consideration, Hongli resolutely issued an edict to marry his beloved daughter Jingse to the distant Khorchin grassland, and at the same time betrothed his other daughter Hengti to the Minister of the Imperial Clan. This decision caused a lot of discussion in the palace, but when the empress dowager heard about it, she was all smiles and was very satisfied.
Not long after, Hongli personally went to visit Fucha Langhuan who was ill. He looked at his beloved concubine who was pale and haggard, his eyes full of pity. Hongli said to Fucha Langhuan softly: "I have always been concerned about your health. I wanted to take you out for a walk this time, but now seeing you like this, I decided to end the trip early and return to the capital as soon as possible so that you can rest assured and recuperate." Fucha Langhuan was deeply moved after hearing this, and tears welled up in her eyes.
However, just as they were preparing to leave for Beijing, the imperial physician came to report that Fucha Langhuan's condition had become more serious. Upon hearing the news, Hongli frowned and immediately ordered that Fucha Langhuan's health be given priority to avoid further damage caused by the bumpy journey. So he changed the plan and changed the return journey to a water route by boat. This would not only reduce Fucha Langhuan's pain, but also allow the entire team to move more smoothly.
On the way back to the palace, Hongli stayed by Fucha Langhuan's side, carefully reminding her to take medicine on time and get plenty of rest. When Fucha Langhuan left first due to exhaustion, Hongli turned around and sent someone to invite Ruyi, and went on the bow with her to enjoy the bright moon together.
At this time, Fucha Langhuan happened to return because she was worried about Hongli, and saw the two standing together and chatting and laughing. Her face suddenly changed, and she thought to herself: "This Ruyi, it is obvious that she deliberately seduced the emperor when I was away, and she is simply showing off in front of me!" Thinking of this, Fucha Langhuan's heart was ignited with anger, and she was full of resentment and dissatisfaction with Ruyi.
As night fell and the moon was high in the sky, Fucha Langhuan was walking alone on the path along the shore. She was feeling depressed and wanted to use the quiet moonlight to relieve her mood, so she decided not to return to the boat for the time being and enjoy the quiet time for a while.
On the other side, Meipin saw all of this. She rolled her eyes, a barely perceptible sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth, and then she deliberately walked towards where Concubine Chun was. After the two met, Meipin deliberately raised her voice and chatted with Concubine Chun.
During the conversation, she even mentioned loudly that the Imperial Observatory had predicted that disaster would befall the imperial palace. Not only that, she also exaggerated, saying, "The reason why the second and seventh princes died young was because the queen did something wrong, so this retribution fell on the two princes!"
Fu Cha Lang Huan happened to hear these words not far away. Her heart trembled suddenly, and the lovely faces of the second and seventh princes instantly appeared in her mind. Thinking of them leaving the world at such a young age, Fu Cha Lang Huan felt as if her heart was broken, and she became a little dazed. At this moment, she suddenly stumbled, lost her balance, and fell directly into the water.
At the same time, Youyou was walking with Hailan nearby. When they heard the sound of someone falling into the water, they hurriedly looked in the direction of the sound and happened to see Fucha Langhuan struggling in the water. Seeing this, Youyou ordered her maid Ningdong to rush to rescue him without hesitation.
After some efforts, Ning Dong finally succeeded in rescuing Fu Cha Lang Huan from the water. However, Fu Cha Lang Huan was already unconscious at this time, she was shaking all over, and kept muttering: "Tit for tat..." as if she had suffered a great shock.
After careful diagnosis and treatment by many doctors in the Imperial Medical Bureau, heartbreaking news came - Fu Cha Langhuan had reached the end of his life, like a candle in the wind, and the trend of running out of oil was difficult to reverse.
After learning the sad news, Youyou anxiously ordered his servants to rush to the imperial court to report the matter to the emperor, and at the same time sent someone to summon Jingse to the queen's bedroom.
When Jingse heard that the queen was terminally ill, her heart was broken, and her grief instantly overwhelmed her reason. She could not accept this cruel fact, and she lost control and angrily scolded the imperial doctors: "You quacks! It is because you are not good at medicine and have not learned much that you are talking nonsense here!"
Facing the emotional Jingse, the Queen Mother quickly stepped forward and gently comforted her: "My child, don't be so impulsive. Now that your mother is in such a critical condition, even a skilled doctor may not be able to save her. And this Doctor Qi has served in the palace for many years. He has profound experience and insights into various diseases, so what he said is not false."
Although she was still unwilling, Jingse still held back her tears and listened to the Queen Mother's advice. At this time, the Queen Mother immediately took charge of the situation and arranged the follow-up matters in an orderly manner. She turned her head to look at Youyou and said in a firm tone: "Noble Concubine Zhao, from now on, you must do your best to help take care of the Queen Mother, and you must not slack off. As for Jingse, you will stay with me for the time being."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Youyou leaned forward slightly and responded respectfully.
"Thank you for your concern, Empress Zhao." Jingse smiled and nodded slightly towards Youyou to express his gratitude.
At this time, Fu Cha Lang Huan, who had been unconscious, finally slowly opened his eyes and gradually regained consciousness. After hearing the news, Hong Li hurried over and hurried to Fu Cha Lang Huan's bed.
Fu Cha Langhuan looked at Hongli, who was full of concern, and forced a smile on her pale face, and said softly: "Your Majesty, I know that I don't have much time left... But at this last moment, I can see you by my side as soon as I open my eyes, and I am very happy in my heart!"
After she finished speaking, she took a few breaths and continued, "Your Majesty, I have another favor to ask. Jingse is already quite old. If you want her to observe mourning for three years because of me, it really cannot be delayed. I hope Your Majesty will not do this."
When Hongli heard this, he quickly held Fucha Langhuan's hand and comforted her: "Don't worry, Queen, I will consider Jingse in everything."
A hint of relief flashed across Fu Cha Langhuan's eyes, and then she turned to look at You You beside her, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, I dare to recommend someone to you - Concubine Zhao. This time I was able to turn danger into safety, all thanks to Concubine Zhao's rescue." After speaking, she looked at Hongli deeply, as if expecting his response.
Fu Cha Langhuan's mind is as clear as a mirror at this moment: only if Youyou successfully ascends to the supreme position of queen can Jingse be safe in this life. After all, the Fu Cha family is no longer reliable, and she has been silently paying and struggling for the honor and interests of the family throughout her long life. Whenever she thinks of this, she feels deeply guilty - she owes too much to Jingse, her biological daughter. However, for Jingse's future happiness and stability, no matter how rugged and difficult the road ahead is, she must go all out and spare no effort to enable Youyou to successfully ascend to the throne of queen.
Hongli frowned slightly, his eyes deep and solemn. He carefully looked at Fu Cha Lang Huan in front of him. After a moment of silence, he slowly said, "This matter is of great importance. It concerns the stability of the harem and even the entire court. Let me consider it again."
Fu Cha Lang Huan hurriedly responded respectfully: "Okay, Your Majesty. I will follow your orders and wait for your good news."
