The noble Fucha was both happy and shy, riding the Feng Luan Chun En carriage to the Yangxin Hall. After the room manager, Aunt Liu, washed her according to the rules, she was wrapped in a rose-red brocade quilt and carried to the big fat orange dragon bed by several young eunuchs.
After the lights were turned off in the Yangxin Hall, the harem seemed to have received a signal, and one after another they turned off the lights and went to bed.
Yikun Palace,
Concubine Hua has just recovered from a long illness. She has not been out for these days, and her complexion is not as rosy as before.
She is obviously a bright and charming beauty, but now her brows are stained with sadness, her body has lost a lot of weight and she is leaning on the bedside, drinking tonics one by one.
It actually made Zhou Ninghai feel that Concubine Hua, who had always been vigorous and resolute, now looked so weak and frail, no different from Concubine Duan.
After Concubine Hua finished drinking the medicine, Songzhi wiped the traces on her lips and couldn't help but said, "My Lady, do you really want to go to the palace banquet for Longevity Festival?"
"You are feeling better now. What would happen if you went out and caught the wind?"
In fact, what Songzhi wanted to say was that Concubine Hua suffered such a big blow. When meeting the emperor, he had to endure everything and pretended not to know anything.
She even had to force herself to flatter and compete for favor. She was afraid that Concubine Hua wouldn't be able to stand it.
Concubine Hua also understood Songzhi's worries and said calmly, "Now that things have happened, is there anything else that I can't bear?"
"Don't worry, we will ride in a soft sedan chair back and forth, and there will be no wind at the palace banquet. The emperor is so heartless, and for the sake of the Nian family, I must live well."
Zhou Ninghai said hesitantly, "But why don't you tell the truth to the general, so that the general can take precautions."
Concubine Hua said worriedly, "My brother has a very temperamental temper. If I tell him now, something might happen. By then, the Nian family may really be in a desperate situation."
"The emperor has the deepest thoughts. Since he has been on guard against me so early, he must have arranged many backup plans. It is better to wait until I figure out what to do before telling my brother."
When it came to Big Fat Orange, Concubine Hua felt extremely disgusted in her heart. How could she fall in love with such a heartless person before?
Thinking about it, she was either recuperating for the past month or thinking about Nian's future. She didn't pay any attention to the affairs in the palace, and she didn't know if there was anyone new in the harem now.
Concubine Hua asked, "Tell me what the situation in the harem is like these days when I am ill."
Songzhi glanced at Concubine Hua and saw that her face was expressionless, and she couldn't tell what she was thinking. But after caring about the emperor for so many years, Concubine Hua can really just say let it go?
Zhou Ninghai explained everything that happened in the past few days to Concubine Hua one by one, "During the days when the empress was ill, the emperor came several times, but the servants followed the empress's instructions and did not let the emperor in."
"His Majesty Cheng came here a few times later, but the queen was resting, so she left some things and left."
"For more than a month, although Honorable Cheng has been going to Yangxin Palace to serve her almost every day, the Emperor has not turned over her sign much. On the contrary, Honorable Shen of Xianfu Palace has almost been the sole bearer of the rain and dew."
"Today, the emperor went to Jingren Palace to have dinner with the queen, and then summoned the noble Fucha to attend her bed. Among the new young masters who entered the palace, they are the only three who have emerged, and the others have not seen the emperor. noodle."
"By the way, Concubine Li and the noble Fucha also came to visit, but due to the order of the empress, the servants stopped them."
Concubine Hua sneered, "Your Majesty is here to see if I am dead!"
Songzhi said, "Actually, I feel that the emperor is a little worried about your empress."
Concubine Hua said, "If he really cared about me, he wouldn't do this to me!"
"The child I had back then was a male fetus that had already matured. He used Concubine Duan's hand to beat down my child alive. That was also his biological son!"
"Concubine Duan is as pitiful as I am. I was the only one who had a good relationship with her in the palace back then. The emperor wanted to make me miscarry, and there were thousands of ways to do it, but he just let her use the bowl of safflower mixed with miscarriage. Bring the medicine to me."
"I have been thinking about it for these days, and finally figured it out. It turns out that the emperor is guarding against me, and he is also guarding against her. She holds the position of concubine, and her life is worse than that of the lowest servant in the palace."
"I have humiliated her all these years, and the emperor has ignored her. She is more pitiful than me. Do you think it is the hatred in her heart that is more, or the hatred in my heart?"
Concubine Hua said this without any tears in her eyes. Her voice was extremely cold, but her face looked as if she wanted to eat crab cakes today.
Only now did Zhou Ninghai feel that the empress was really different.
But the meaning behind the words is. . .
Zhou Ninghai asked, "Is your Majesty saying that you and Concubine Duan will turn their hostility into friendship?"
Concubine Hua said, "It's hard to say who was right or wrong about what happened back then. She took the blame, and I also poured a pot of red flowers on her. It's impossible to turn hostility into friendship."
"It's just that we can cooperate on some things."
Songzhi said, "Your Majesty is right, but Concubine Duan is a useless person now. Even if your Majesty gives her a chance, I'm afraid she won't be able to control her."
Zhou Ninghai disagrees with what Songzhi said. Although Concubine Duan has been severely suppressed by them in recent years, she is still a concubine, and there are still three kilograms of nails in the broken ship!
Concubine Hua said, "We will talk about these things later, but there is only one thing that is most important."
Zhou Ninghai asked, "What did the empress say?"
Concubine Hua said coldly, "Why can others give birth, but I can't? The emperor has to bear what I have endured one by one!"
Songzhi exclaimed, and then whispered, "Do you want other concubines to also...?"
A flash of determination flashed in Concubine Hua's eyes, and she said firmly, "Since I am destined not to have children of my own in this life, the Emperor is not allowed to have any, so everyone should stop having children."
Songzhi and Zhou Ninghai were so shocked that they knelt on the ground. The crime of murdering the emperor's heir was not a small crime, not to mention Concubine Hua's attempt to exterminate Big Fat Jue.
If anyone knew, their ten lives would not be enough for the emperor to kill them!
"Mother, think twice!"
"Think twice, concubine!"
Concubine Hua looked at the two of them with an unprecedented sadness, "What? Are you going to abandon me too?"
Songzhi and Zhou Ninghai quickly expressed their loyalty, "I don't dare!"
"This slave has been serving the queen since she was a child. She will always be her slave. I will never forget it."
Zhou Ninghai said, "It is not a pity to die for a slave, but there are many princes and princesses in the palace. The emperor is still in his prime, and more concubines will be pregnant in the future."
"The empress can get rid of one or two, how can she still get rid of seven or eight?"
"Once the slightest bit of information is leaked, it will be a disaster. Please think twice!"
Songzhi said, "Your Majesty, Zhou Ninghai is right. If you often walk by the river, your shoes will always get wet. No one will notice you once or twice. If you do it too many times, you will be suspected."
Concubine Hua suddenly said, "You have reminded me. In this case, it is better to settle this matter once and for all."
Zhou Ninghai and Songzhi didn't understand. With so many women, how could they be saved once and for all?
"I don't understand, what do you mean?"
Concubine Hua said viciously, "There is only one man in the palace. As long as the emperor cannot have children, no matter how many women there are, it will be useless!"
