Chapter 9 Consort Fucha: The Emperor Returns to the Palace (Part 9)
Fucha Peiyun tiptoed and cautiously approached the person, afraid of making the slightest sound to wake her.
She extended her right hand, her movements so gentle as if afraid of hurting the other person, and lightly placed her palm on the person's forehead.
Then, she slowly closed her eyes and concentrated.
He activated his divine sense and carefully sensed the other person's physical condition.
After a while, Fucha Peiyun opened her eyes and breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, this person's mental illness was not as serious as imagined; the situation was relatively optimistic, and there was hope for a cure.
However, she did not immediately put her hand down.
Instead, they continue to use their abilities to try to repair the other person's damaged brain.
She focused all her energy on pouring her power into the man's mind.
Time passed second by second, and a thin layer of sweat gradually appeared on her forehead, but she still persevered.
After some effort, she finally felt a warm energy flow from her arm into the person's forehead.
Meanwhile, the other person's previously confused mind began to gradually return to normal.
The chaotic and frenzied atmosphere slowly dissipated, replaced by a sense of calm and tranquility.
When she opened her eyes again, a relieved smile appeared on her face:
"Great, this man's madness has been cured."
She breathed a sigh of relief and felt incredibly satisfied.
But she also understood that she had to be careful when dealing with this person who had just regained his senses.
However, Fucha Peiyun knew all too well that people's hearts were unpredictable, especially someone who had just regained their senses.
We need to be even more careful in preventing this.
Therefore, she quickly took out a loyalty talisman from the system space and slapped it into the person's body without hesitation.
Once the loyalty talisman is integrated into the body, even if the person has any other thoughts later...
The Loyalty Charm will keep her absolutely loyal.
However, Fucha Peiyun knew clearly that the Loyalty Talisman was not a panacea and had certain limitations.
Fortunately, there was not much resistance when using the loyalty talisman on this person.
It's probably because this person has long lost favor and is experiencing a decline in fortune.
Soon, the figure seemed to awaken from a deep sleep, slowly opening its eyes.
The previously blurry eyes gradually became clear.
She blinked a few times, trying to adjust to the surrounding light, and then slowly raised her head.
She was kneeling at Fucha Peiyun's feet, her face filled with respect and gratitude.
She said in a low, soft voice, "Thank you, Master, for saving me."
Although the voice was very soft, the sincerity and reverence it contained were quite evident.
Her gaze remained fixed on Fucha Peiyun.
It was as if this mysterious and unpredictable person was her entire life.
At this moment, she felt only endless gratitude and loyalty towards Fucha Peiyun.
Everything else became unimportant.
"You'll have to stay in this cold palace for now and await my orders."
Soon you will be able to leave this place and avenge yourself and your children.
Fucha Peiyun's voice was calm and firm.
"Yes, Master. May I ask who my enemy is? Is it Consort Hua?"
She asked urgently, her eyes gleaming with a thirst for revenge.
Fucha Peiyun smiled slightly and replied calmly:
"No, it's the Empress."
Upon hearing this, her eyes widened, and an expression of disbelief appeared on her face.
"The Empress, how could it be the Empress..." she murmured to herself, her heart filled with shock and confusion.
But she quickly regained her composure, knowing that her master would not deceive her, nor would he stoop to doing so.
"I'm pregnant too. The flower-viewing banquet the Empress held today almost caused me to miscarry after being hit by a cat."
Fucha Peiyun spoke calmly, but her eyes revealed a hint of coldness and hatred.
Upon hearing this news, she simply stood quietly to the side and listened.
However, deep inside, a turbulent wave had already been stirred up.
An indescribable anger and hatred welled up inside her, as if to devour her whole being.
Fucha Peiyun: "Under the osmanthus tree in your former residence, Suiyu Pavilion, there was musk that the Empress had buried."
Upon hearing this, his eyes widened, and he looked incredulous: "What? Such a thing actually happened?"
A surge of anger and shock welled up inside her.
I never imagined that the place I used to live in would hide such a secret.
Recalling the time I spent at Suiyuxuan,
I think back to those wonderful days, unaware that such a conspiracy was hidden behind them.
She murmured to herself, "So that's how it is. I used to really enjoy sitting in the shade under that osmanthus tree."
She felt a chill run down her spine, as if she had been deceived and betrayed.
She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, but the turmoil in her heart could not be quelled.
Only then did she realize that the Empress was such a treacherous, cunning, and scheming person.
How could she be so cruel as to harm the child in her womb?
And now, she's even trying to harm her master's unborn child—it's utterly depraved!
This behavior is absolutely outrageous and infuriating!
She couldn't help but recall the days when the prince was still living in the prince's residence, and the inexplicable miscarriages and sudden deaths of his children.
Could the culprit behind these unfortunate events really be this current step-consort—the good empress?
Thinking of this, she clenched her fists tightly, her eyes flashing with a firm and resolute light.
She secretly resolved that no matter the cost, she would make the Empress pay for her crimes and seek justice for herself and her master.
Even though her master is incredibly powerful and may not need her to seek justice for him, she is willing to do everything in her power to help him.
Fucha Peiyun comforted her, "Alright, you'll soon be able to get your revenge as you wish."
However, you must remain in the cold palace for now and patiently wait for the right opportunity.
When the time is right, you will be able to leave the Cold Palace and take revenge yourself.
In a few days, I will send someone to deliver some items to you. You should take good care of yourself.
"Yes, Master."
After finishing her business, Fucha Peiyun quickly left the Cold Palace.
In the following days, the palace returned to its usual tranquility, and Fucha Peiyun enjoyed a period of peace.
She knew in her heart that this brief peace was nothing more than the calm before the storm.
On this day, the peaceful palace suddenly became bustling with activity, as if a spring breeze had swept through it. What broke the tranquility was the emperor's return to the palace.
Fucha Peiyun naturally learned of this news very quickly; the chubby orange cat was finally back.
However, she was self-aware enough to know that Big Fat Orange would definitely want to see his beloved Huanhuan first.
However, Sang'er, Ye'er, and others in her palace were very excited, all with smiles on their faces, chattering away.
"Our young mistress is currently pregnant, and His Majesty will surely visit her first upon returning to the palace!"
Sang'er's face lit up with joy, her eyes filled with anticipation.
"Yes, yes, Your Highness is carrying a dragon's seed! The Emperor will definitely come to visit Your Highness and the unborn child first," Ye'er chimed in.
The crowd chattered excitedly, each person's face beaming with joy.
Unfortunately, their hopes were dashed.
After returning to the palace, the emperor did not rush to visit Fucha Peiyun's bedchamber as they had imagined.
Instead, he chose to visit his beloved Zhen Huan first.
The emperor didn't seem to be in a hurry to see his empress, his principal wife.
Zhen Huan's palace was filled with laughter and joy as the emperor and she poured out their longing for each other.
"I've been away from the palace these past few days, and Huanhuan has really suffered."
The emperor held Zhen Huan's hand and spoke gently.
"Huanhuan is not wronged. As long as I can see Silang, I will feel at ease."
Zhen Huan nestled in the emperor's arms and responded sweetly.
The two were deeply in love, seemingly forgetting all the troubles of the world.
When the news reached Yanxi Palace that the Emperor had gone to Suiyu Pavilion to see Consort Wan after returning to the palace, Sang'er, Ye'er, and the others were very indignant.
Sang'er muttered to herself:
"That vixen, Consort Wan, relies on her good looks..."
She bewitched the emperor, causing him to neglect even his pregnant concubine.
"That's right, how could Your Majesty treat the young lady like this? The young lady is pregnant with the imperial child and needs someone to take care of her."
"Hmph, I think that Consort Wan is doing it on purpose, trying to win favor by getting pregnant."
Looking at her delicate and frail appearance, she can only give birth to daughters.
Sang'er grew angrier as she spoke, "Wait until the young mistress gives birth to the prince, then let's see how arrogant she can still be."
Everyone chimed in, "That's right! When the time comes, our young mistress will be able to live a life of privilege thanks to her son, and she won't have to live at the mercy of others anymore."
"Yes, once Your Highness gives birth to the prince, the Emperor will surely favor you even more."
Meanwhile, Fucha Peiyun lay quietly on the bed, listening to the sounds coming from outside, and sighed inwardly.
Even if she did give birth to a prince, it probably wouldn't change anything.
Regardless of whether Zhen Huan's child is a boy or a girl, Empress Ulanara Yixiu will not allow Zhen Huan to give birth to this child.
Because Zhen Huan's face was so similar to that of the late Empress Chun Yuan, the Empress was already very wary of her. In addition, Zhen Huan's growing favor with the Emperor only fueled the Empress's dissatisfaction.
It should be noted that the Empress deeply resented her elder sister, Empress Chun Yuan, believing that Chun Yuan had stolen the position of Consort and the Emperor's favor that originally belonged to her.
Now that Zhen Huan has a face similar to that of the late Empress Chun Yuan, this is undoubtedly a huge threat to her.
If Zhen Huan had given birth to a boy, her status would have been greatly shaken.
Given the Emperor's deep affection for Zhen Huan, if she had indeed given birth to a prince,
The emperor is very likely to make him the crown prince and inherit the throne.
In this way, Zhen Huan could potentially become the future Empress Dowager and seize power.
The queen, on the other hand, will lose everything she currently possesses.
Therefore, no matter what, the Empress could not allow Zhen Huan to give birth to this child smoothly.
