Chapter 284 Consort Fucha
Chapter 284 Consort Fucha
Nian Shilan felt that this scene was extremely familiar.
If it were the old Nian Shilan, seeing this scene would probably have broken her heart.
But ever since she learned the truth, all she wanted about that old man was for him to suffer a fate worse than death.
Nian Shilan's lips curled into a cold smile as she said sarcastically:
"This is nothing, such a small thing, and you're already vomiting blood? What a useless old man!"
She paused, then continued:
"Go ahead and throw up. You'll get used to it after a while."
In her eyes, the big fat orange cat was not a high and mighty emperor.
It is not a tiny, insignificant ant.
Nian Shilan continued...
"To be honest, you can only blame your own stupidity for turning out this way."
You actually believe that taking those pills will make you healthier?
Even I, someone who has never been a big reader, know that several emperors in history died because they took elixirs.
"Wasn't it your beloved Huanhuan who suggested you take that elixir?"
At the mention of Zhen Huan, a hint of resentment flashed in the eyes of the chubby orange cat.
Bitch! Bitch! They're all bitches! I'm going to kill them!
I have been very kind to Zhen Huan! I elevated her status and made her a Noble Consort.
But this slut was not only not satisfied, she also had an affair with the seventeenth prince and fathered a bastard child!
That wasn't enough; she actually wanted me dead!
What exactly did I do to wrong her?
The Zhen family had long been disgraced officials, and she was the daughter of a disgraced official.
I didn't even despise her, yet she doesn't know how to cherish me!
"You slut! You slut!"
A cold smile crept across Nian Shilan's lips, followed by a disdainful laugh:
"Haha, you actually naively thought that Zhen Huan would be grateful for your insignificant favor?"
You are utterly foolish!
Her voice was full of sarcasm and disdain as she continued:
That's because you simply can't see through Zhen Huan.
She's a proud and arrogant person; how could she possibly be grateful to you for your so-called favor?
Nian Shilan paused, a hint of resentment flashing in her eyes.
"She regretted entering the harem long ago, just as I regretted marrying you long ago!"
She was treated as a substitute for Empress Chun Yuan and suffered such a humiliating disgrace.
She experienced many ups and downs in the imperial harem, suffering endless torment.
Her tone suggested that everyone around her was leaving her, and the entire Zhen family had been wiped out!
How could she not hate you, the culprit who caused the downfall of the Zhen family?
She's been wishing you dead for ages!
At this point, a hint of satisfaction appeared on Nian Shilan's face.
"However, you fool, blinded by lust, after dealing with the Zhen family,
You actually thought you were right to believe that Zhen Huan wouldn't hold a grudge against you.
That's utterly ridiculous!
Finally, Nian Shilan laughed triumphantly again.
"But it's good that the Zhen sisters are here; it saves me a lot of trouble."
It's so satisfying to see them completely outmaneuver you!
Nian Shilan rolled her eyes and said...
"By the way, you probably don't know yet, but your new favorite, Consort Zhao..."
This is Zhen Huan's sister, Zhen Yu Rao, whom she has been searching for.
They only changed their surname; they didn't even change their given name.
That face, bearing a striking resemblance to Zhen Huan, didn't you have a single doubt?
You deserve to be fooled by those sisters.
Oh, the sterilization drug you have is also a gift from Consort Zhao.
"This is truly a cause for celebration; Consort Zhao has done another good deed."
The chubby orange cat's eyes widened in disbelief, and then it coughed up a mouthful of blood.
Fu Yurao, Zhen Yurao, Big Fat Orange didn't expect this.
Fu Yurao, she is actually Zhen Huan's younger sister, Zhen Yurao?
I was completely kept in the dark by these sisters!
That vile woman dared to give him a sterilization drug; are the imperial physicians in the palace really that useless?
Even this can't be found out, not to mention Zhen Huan's pregnancy back then.
He didn't believe that the imperial physicians who took Zhen Huan's pulse wouldn't know the gestational age of her child.
Wen Shichu and Wei Lin: The imperial physicians in the palace have all been bribed.
Nian Shilan felt that the old man had already received enough stimulation today.
She was afraid that the old man would just die like that.
For so many years, she has silently endured the pain and torment this old man has brought her.
She had also imagined countless times what tragic end this old man would have.
She didn't want this old man to die like this.
Nian Shilan took out the porcelain bottle that Fucha Peiyun had given her from her bosom.
She gently opened the bottle cap, and a faint medicinal fragrance wafted out.
She carefully poured a pill out of the porcelain bottle.
This pill can keep someone alive; it must be very precious.
She also needs to be more frugal.
Nian Shilan poured the pills into her palm and then slowly walked towards the big fat orange.
The fat orange cat was extremely weak at this point. His eyes were half-closed, and he seemed to be about to fall into a deep sleep at any moment.
However, when he saw the pills in Nian Shilan's hand, his eyes suddenly widened, and his face was filled with horror.
He thought Nian Shilan was going to poison him, and couldn't help but want to kill him.
He still harbored the hope that Hongchang would come to rescue him.
I don't want to be killed by that vicious woman, Nian Shilan.
The big, fat orange cat struggled with all its might.
Large beads of sweat appeared on his forehead from the excessive exertion, sliding down his cheeks.
Unfortunately, he is now a cripple, no matter how desperately he tries to break free.
All of this was in vain.
Nian Shilan watched as the fat orange cat struggled.
I just found it funny.
She knew exactly what the chubby orange was thinking, but she didn't explain the pill's function in detail.
She simply watched the chubby orange cat quietly, letting him struggle in vain.
Finally, Nian Shilan felt the time was right, and she roughly grabbed the big fat orange cat.
Then he wrapped the pill in a handkerchief and quickly stuffed it into the fat orange's mouth.
The big, fat orange cat let out a violent cough.
The pill was forced into his throat, and he tried desperately to vomit it out.
But Nian Shilan moved too quickly, and he was powerless to resist.
The pill slid down his throat.
He was gripped by extreme panic, his eyes filled with terror and anger.
Nian Shilan looked at the big fat orange's reaction and a cold smile appeared on her lips:
"Don't worry, this pill isn't poison. I don't want you to die too easily."
After Nian Shilan finished speaking, she turned to leave.
There was a strange smell in the room, and she really didn't want to stay any longer.
Big Fat Orange heard Nian Shilan walking away and panicked.
He didn't know when Hongchang would send someone to rescue him.
His body was already at its limit; he feared he wouldn't live to see Hongchang come to his rescue.
He used all his strength to try and grab Nian Shilan's hand.
He wanted to ask Nian Shilan, "Shilan, I know I was wrong."
With a loud "bang," the chubby orange cat rolled off the old bed like a ball of flesh.
It crashed heavily to the ground.
The sudden noise made Nian Shilan, who was about to leave, stop in her tracks.
She then walked out without looking back.
Zhou Ninghai and Songzhi, who had been waiting outside, saw Nian Shilan come out.
Smiles instantly bloomed on their faces, and they quickly stepped forward to greet him.
"Your Majesty, you've come out!"
Zhou Ninghai smiled obsequiously, "Shall we go back now?"
Nian Shilan glanced at him expressionlessly.
He casually tossed the handkerchief in his hand to Zhou Ninghai like trash, and said coldly:
"This handkerchief is dirty. Take it back and burn it for me."
Zhou Ninghai quickly took the handkerchief and looked down to see that it was embroidered with exquisite crabapple blossoms.
He carefully tucked the handkerchief into his pocket and replied with a forced smile:
"Your Majesty, rest assured, this servant will burn it immediately upon returning."
Nian Shilan ignored Zhou Ninghai and instead placed her hand on Songzhi's hand, saying softly:
"Let's go, I smell strange, I need to go back and take a bath."
Songzhi nodded quickly, carefully took Nian Shilan's hand, and whispered:
"Your Majesty, I will have someone fetch water for your bath as soon as I get back."
This servant will have someone put your favorite flower petals in the water. The flowers in the Yuanmingyuan Garden are in full bloom; they must smell very fragrant.
"I've already arranged for someone to pick the flower petals, so you can enjoy a fragrant bath when you get back!"
Nian Shilan nodded slightly, a satisfied expression on her face.
As she walked, she said:
"Hmm, you did a good job. It's just what I needed to do to wash away all the bad luck."
At this moment, Songzhi cautiously asked, "Your Majesty, shall we keep those two locked in that small room forever?"
Upon hearing this, Nian Shilan frowned and said unhappily.
"What? You feel sorry for them?"
Songzhi quickly shook her head and immediately explained, "How could that be? I grew up with you since I was a child."
Then I went to Prince Yong's Mansion with you, and later accompanied you to the palace.
"I have seen all the suffering you have endured over the years; how could I possibly sympathize with those two who harmed you?"
Nian Shilan naturally believed Songzhi; she had only taken her anger out on Songzhi because she was in a bad mood.
"That's more like it. So what did you mean by that?"
Seeing this, Songzhi knew that Nian Shilan wasn't really angry.
Then she lowered her voice and explained, "What this servant means is that he is, after all, the Emperor Emeritus."
If you didn't intend for him to die immediately, then there will always be times when the court officials want to see the retired emperor.
We can't keep them from seeing him forever."
After hearing this, Nian Shilan narrowed her eyes slightly, a glint of shrewdness flashing in them. She pondered for a moment and then said:
"What you say makes some sense; the eyes of the world are discerning."
If the retired emperor remains hidden from the world, it's inevitable that some people will become suspicious.
Do you have any good ideas?
Songzhi smiled slightly and whispered in Nian Shilan's ear:
"This servant thinks we should keep him in this room for a while so he can reunite with the Empress Dowager and her son."
We'll clean him up again after a while and then move him to a quiet courtyard.
From now on, if any ministers see him, let him bask in the sun in the courtyard.
Since he can't speak anyway, I'm not afraid of what he might say.
After finishing her sentence, Songzhi whispered a few more words in Nian Shilan's ear.
Nian Shilan was very pleased with Song Zhiti's idea, and casually took off the bracelet from her wrist.
It was put on Songzhi's hand.
Nian Shilan smiled slightly and nodded in satisfaction:
"You understand me best. I'm leaving this matter to you. Make sure everything is arranged flawlessly."
Songzhi quickly and respectfully replied:
"This servant understands and will certainly not disappoint Your Highness's expectations."
She carefully took the bracelet and put it on her wrist; the bracelet shimmered softly in the sunlight.
It looks exceptionally exquisite.
Nian Shilan said, "After we go back and take a bath, we'll go to Baijunyuan to ride horses. It's been a long time since I've ridden a horse."
Songzhi said, "Your Majesty has suffered for so many years, now you can finally relax."
In the palace, Fucha Peiyun summoned all the princesses to Kunning Palace.
Fucha Peiyun had Ye'er and the others prepare many novel snacks and fruit drinks.
The entire long table was filled with items. She sat smiling in the main seat.
He looked at the princesses who were coming in one after another with eyes full of love.
Fucha Peiyun glanced at the princesses standing in the hall.
They wore qipaos in various colors such as pink, pale yellow, and purple, as dazzling and beautiful as spring flowers in full bloom.
With Empress Fucha Peiyun and the concubines of the various palaces keeping a close eye on them, the Imperial Household Department has not dared to neglect the princesses in the slightest over the years.
No one dared to tamper with the princesses' allowances.
The princesses' qipaos were exquisitely tailored and brightly colored, complementing their fair skin.
This makes them appear even more charming and adorable, a sight to behold.
Although these princesses were not Empress Fucha Peiyun's biological children, she treated them as her own.
Watching them grow from infants in swaddling clothes into graceful young women fills my heart with joy and satisfaction.
Shuhe, as the eldest princess in the palace, was dignified and elegant.
She led her sisters in bowing to Fucha Peiyun.
She gracefully curtsied, her movements as natural and fluid as flowing water.
Her voice was clear and melodious, like a nightingale singing in a valley:
"Your son greets Your Majesty the Empress Dowager. May Your Majesty enjoy boundless blessings, peace, and eternal youth."
Seeing this, the other princesses also curtsied and said in unison:
May Your Majesty enjoy boundless blessings and eternal youth.
Hearing these blessings, Fucha Peiyun felt as if her heart was filled with honey.
The smile on her face grew even brighter, like spring flowers in full bloom.
She quickly reached out and gently took Shuhe and Wenyi's hands, smiling as she said:
"You're still as mischievous as ever."
This statement expresses both affection for Shuhe and fondness for her lively personality.
Shuhe and Wenyi sat down next to Fucha Peiyun.
Fucha Peiyun had the other princesses sit down around her.
Wenyi asked, "Empress Mother, is there something you want to discuss with us sisters today?"
Fucha Peiyun smiled slightly, her gaze sweeping gently over the princesses, and said softly:
"Yes, I called you all here today because I wanted to spend a lively afternoon with you."
I haven't been able to spend much time with you all lately because of things going on in the palace.
Let's get together today, have some good food, and have a heart-to-heart talk.
The princesses all showed joy upon hearing this.
Shuhe smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty, you're always so busy..."
We're already very grateful that they can take the time to spend with us.
Fucha Peiyun nodded, her eyes filled with tenderness:
"You are all the flowers of the palace. Although I am busy, I cannot neglect you."
Hongchang had just ascended the throne and had no time to gather with his sisters.
But he still misses you all. We'll see when he's done with this busy period.
I want to run horses, read books, and write with you all again.
Shuhe said, "Your Majesty, the Emperor is now the Emperor, and he is busy with important matters of state every day."
We can't keep bothering him.
