Chapter 66 Noble Lady Fucha (Unknown)
Shen Meizhuang also told Zhen Huan about the nightmare she had a few days ago.
"Could it really be Ling Rong's ghost?" Zhen Huan wondered.
Shen Meizhuang snorted coldly and said, "An Lingrong herself harbors ill intentions and is determined to harm you."
That's why they ended up with such a tragic fate.
How dare someone as wicked as her come looking for us?
As she spoke, a hint of disgust flashed in her eyes.
Zhen Huan said, "She might not be seeking revenge; she might want us to help her get revenge."
Shen Meizhuang frowned, looking at Zhen Huan with confusion:
"Avenge her? She's wronged you so badly, how dare you come looking for us?"
Zhen Huan sighed softly: "Sister Mei, don't be anxious, I'm just guessing."
Shen Meizhuang's expression was solemn as she said:
"She wants us to avenge her, but scaring you like this every night has made you like this."
Moreover, you are still in your postpartum period, and your body is already extremely weak.
After saying that, Shen Meizhuang turned her head and looked around at the tired-looking people in Suiyu Pavilion, and sighed helplessly.
"This can't go on. If the people in your Broken Jade Pavilion continue to work day and night like this..."
They're all probably too exhausted to keep going and will collapse from exhaustion.
I'll tell Caiyue to go back to my palace and call a few people over to help.
Your palace servants should also drink some calming soup and get a good night's sleep.
Tonight, I will stay at Suiyu Pavilion to keep you company.
As soon as she finished speaking, Caiyue, who was standing to the side, immediately bowed and replied upon hearing her master's instruction:
"Yes, my lady, I will go back and find some men right away."
After saying this, she hurriedly bowed, turned around and left quickly, heading towards Cunjutang.
At this moment, Zhen Huan, who had been silent all along, finally couldn't help but speak.
Her eyes were slightly red, and her voice was choked with emotion as she spoke:
"Sister Mei, thank you so much this time."
She was actually on the verge of collapse these past few days; her daughter was gone.
The feelings in my heart became clear, and then I was tormented by something unknown every night.
Shen Meizhuang smiled slightly, reached out and gently took Zhen Huan's hand, her voice tender:
"Huan'er, why do we need to say these things between us?"
Shen Meizhuang paused slightly, then asked softly, "Huan'er, has the Emperor not come to visit you at all these days?"
Upon hearing this, Zhen Huan remained silent for a long while before slowly speaking:
"At first, the Emperor would come to visit every day."
But... I really didn't want to see him, and gradually, he stopped coming.
Shen Meizhuang frowned, looking at Zhen Huan with a worried expression, and said:
"Huan'er, this can't go on forever!"
I have long since given up on the Emperor, so I don't care whether I can win his favor.
Fortunately, I still have some favor from the Empress Dowager, which allows me to barely maintain my foothold in the palace.
But you're different. Are you really going to give up on revenge like this?
When Zhen Huan heard the words "Empress Dowager," her fingers unconsciously twitched.
She knew very well that it was precisely because the Empress Dowager had always protected the Empress that even if the Empress made many mistakes,
As long as the Empress Dowager is alive, the position of Empress will likely remain unshaken.
How could she possibly seek revenge against the Empress? How could she possibly defeat both the Empress and the Empress Dowager?
Seeing that Zhen Huan remained silent, Shen Meizhuang grew anxious and raised her voice, saying:
"Huan'er, you really can't keep going down like this!"
Don't you want to avenge your poor daughter?
Moreover, I just heard that Consort Qi's ban has been lifted today!
She poisoned you and Consort Shu before, and was only confined to her quarters for a few months.
She'll regain her freedom so quickly, Huan'er, are you really willing to accept that?
How could Zhen Huan accept this? Of course she was unwilling.
But what could she do? At that moment, she felt utterly powerless.
Consort Qi was the mother of the eldest prince, and her status rose because of her son;
The Empress Dowager had power and influence.
And what about yourself?
Apart from this sickly body and the Emperor's favor, which may or may not be genuine, I have nothing!
Thinking of this, Zhen Huan couldn't help but feel a deep sadness.
Seeing Zhen Huan still so dejected, Shen Meizhuang sighed with heartache and said:
"Huan'er, your body is already so weak. The most important thing now is to rest and recuperate."
We can discuss other matters later!
Just then, Caiyue arrived quickly with four palace maids and four eunuchs.
Caiyue then instructed these people to get busy in the courtyard.
Some were responsible for cleaning the courtyard, while others hurriedly started a fire to brew medicine.
In an instant, the once quiet and deserted Suiyu Pavilion became bustling with activity.
Before long, all the servants in Suiyuxuan had drunk the calming soup and returned to their rooms to rest.
At Shen Meizhuang's repeated urging, Zhen Huan finally picked up the bowl and drank the calming soup in one gulp.
Then I slowly lay down and gradually drifted off to sleep...
Shen Meizhuang touched Zhen Huan's haggard face, feeling deeply distressed. She wondered how much longer they could endure this cannibalistic harem.
After confirming that Zhen Huan had fallen into a deep sleep, Shen Meizhuang got up.
She looked around the Broken Jade Pavilion and asked Caiyue and the others to clean it up even more thoroughly.
After nightfall, Shen Meizhuang and Zhen Huan lay on the bed fully clothed.
The two huddled close together, but the deep-seated fear within them remained, and their hearts were pounding in their chests.
Both of them perked up, paying close attention to every movement.
Time passed slowly, and a suffocating tension filled the entire Suiyu Pavilion.
Palace maids and eunuchs, holding lanterns, stood solemnly at the doorways and windows, ready for action.
The waiting process was exceptionally long and agonizing.
The night grew deeper, but the anticipated evil wind never came.
The elusive white shadow did not appear.
There were no bloody words on the walls or window paper.
Everything was so calm, so calm that it was unsettling.
This made them wonder if the terrifying experiences they had in the previous nights were really just their imaginations.
They were puzzled that those things hadn't appeared, yet they were also afraid that they would suddenly appear.
As time went by, Shen Meizhuang and Zhen Huan's bodies gradually became heavy, and their eyelids began to droop incessantly.
Despite their efforts to stay alert, the prolonged high stress and exhaustion ultimately overcame their willpower.
Finally, after holding on for a long time, the two could no longer endure it.
I slowly closed my eyes and drifted off to sleep.
The palace maids and eunuchs of Suiyu Pavilion slowly collapsed and fell asleep.
As sunlight streamed into the room through the window, Zhen Huan suddenly woke up, drenched in a cold sweat.
She rubbed her temples, looking at the people sleeping by the window and door, her heart filled with doubt.
Shen Meizhuang also woke up shortly afterward. The two looked at each other and saw confusion and lingering fear in each other's eyes.
"Huan'er, why didn't those appear last night?"
Zhen Huan: "Sister Mei, I don't know what's going on either?"
Could everything that happened before have been a hallucination? But it's impossible for everyone to be hallucinating.
Shen Meizhuang said, "Huan'er, don't worry. It's better if this thing is gone."
Zhen Huan said, "Sister Mei, it's my fault for being anxious. I can't get to the bottom of this matter, and that makes me uneasy."
Shen Meizhuang: "I'll stay at Suiyu Pavilion tonight and see if that thing will reappear."
Zhen Huan gently held Shen Meizhuang's hand and said gratefully, "Sister Mei, I am deeply moved by your kindness."
"It's all because of Huan'er that you and I have to live in fear together."
Shen Meizhuang smiled at Zhen Huan
During the day, everyone took turns resting, waiting for night to fall.
That night, the moon was bright and the stars were few, and the Broken Jade Pavilion was quiet once again.
Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang, fighting off their sleepiness, stayed in the room.
The entire Suiyu Pavilion remained on high alert, just as it had been the night before, and they kept watch all night.
Those things haven't appeared yet.
Everyone gathered together to discuss
Finally, Zhen Huan wondered if it was because they had guessed An Lingrong's purpose.
Therefore, those things no longer appear.
This guess seems to be the most likely.
However, Shen Meizhuang still stayed overnight at Suiyu Pavilion, making sure that An Lingrong's ghost was no longer causing trouble.
After Shen Meizhuang took care of and persuaded Zhen Huan, she left Suiyuxuan.
The chubby orange was dissatisfied after the Empress Dowager bestowed the hairpin depicting the Two Immortals of Harmony upon Consort Shu.
He thought that Consort Shu would eagerly wear the hairpin, just like Consort Hui.
Unexpectedly, Consort Shu was enshrining the hairpin and even said she would burn three sticks of incense every day in hopes of having more children.
This greatly surprised the chubby orange cat, who was thinking about the Empress Dowager's reaction upon receiving the news.
The big, fat orange gave me a sense of relief.
His mother, the Empress Dowager, always favored the Fourteenth Prince and constantly thought about him.
They don't care about their eldest son, nor do they care about the emperor.
This made the big fat orange cat's smile even brighter when it went to Yanxi Palace to see Consort Shu and her son.
Big Fat Orange didn't let Su Peisheng announce his arrival; he dispelled the chill from his body before going inside.
At this moment, Fucha Peiyun was leaning against the bed, her pretty face somewhat pale.
She gently patted the swaddling clothes of the Sixth Prince, who lay quietly beside her.
The tiny body was wrapped in swaddling clothes, with only the little face showing.
Fucha Peiyun heard the door open and waited for the chubby orange cat to come in.
She got out of bed and greeted him.
Seeing this, the chubby orange quickly stepped forward to support Fucha Peiyun, saying with concern:
"Ah-Jun, you are still in your postpartum period and your body is weak."
How can you get out of bed to bow? You should quickly lie down and rest.
As he spoke, he carefully helped Fucha Peiyun back to the bedside.
Fucha Peiyun responded with a smile:
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I've been lying in bed all day and my body is stiff."
So I thought I'd get down and move around a bit, to loosen up my muscles and bones.
Your Majesty consulted Imperial Physician Wen, who advised that women should move around appropriately during their postpartum period.
As long as you avoid catching a cold or being exposed to wind, you'll be fine.
The chubby orange cat nodded in agreement.
He then turned to look at the swaddled baby on the bed, his eyes revealing an undisguised fatherly love.
He gently reached out and stroked the edge of the swaddling clothes.
They were afraid of waking the sleeping Sixth Prince.
Then, he leaned closer and carefully examined the child's rosy little face.
An involuntary smile appeared on his lips as he looked at Fucha Peiyun and said:
"The Sixth Prince seems to have grown up a bit."
Fucha Peiyun: "The wet nurse said this child is changing every day."
If His Majesty hadn't come for a few days, he probably wouldn't have recognized the Sixth Prince.
The chubby orange cat said, "It seems I should visit the Sixth Prince more often, lest he forget his imperial father."
Fucha Peiyun nodded, "That's how it should be."
