Chapter 125: Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace: Wei Yanwan. 45
At the end of December, the Queen's legitimate son Yongcong unfortunately caught a cold and died. Fucha Langya cried all day long and was bedridden under the heavy pressure. Hongli handed over the trivial matters of the harem to Wei Yanwan to handle.
Because Princess Hejing was getting married, Wei Yanwan had to go to the Queen's palace to confirm various matters with her while preparing dowry for the princess. Seeing Fu Cha Langya's haggard appearance, Wei Yanwan comforted her and said, "Your Majesty, although my brother is gone, the living still have to live well. Princess Hejing is getting married. Although I am willing, I am not as considerate as your mother. You have to take good care of yourself."
Fu Cha Langya saw that everything in the book was good and she knew that Wei Yanwan was really doing her best on this matter. Everyone in the harem said that Concubine Ling was loved by the Emperor, and it was hard for her to be considerate in everything facing herself, the Queen who had fallen out of favor.
"I know Jingse is still young, and I have to watch her get married, don't worry."
She wouldn't do anything stupid. This wasn't the first time she had lost a child, but she was still heartbroken. Now her only child, Jingse, was about to get married, and she suddenly felt so cold.
When Wei Yanwan saw her like that, she knew that Fu Cha Langya was at the end of her strength. Although Wei Yanwan knew that deep down she still couldn't accept that the emperor only favored her, for Jingse's future, she had to think more about it.
"Then I will take my leave. The Ministry of Rites has already issued the regulations. I will have someone send them to the Empress tomorrow for her review. If there is anything inappropriate, please point it out one by one."
Fu Cha Langya smiled and nodded: "Su Lian, go and see the imperial concubine off."
"No need, Su Lian will take care of the Majesty, I will take my leave."
After everyone left, Fu Cha Langya, who had been holding back her cough, suddenly leaned over the bed and coughed for a long time. Cold sweat broke out on her already pale face. Su Lian looked at her worriedly: "My queen..."
"What the imperial concubine said is right. I still want to see Jingse get married happily."
"Empress." Su Lian felt a lump in her throat. She had watched their master grow from a young girl to her current exhausted state. No one had expected this to be the outcome.
At the end of the year, Gao Xiyue died of illness in the palace. Hongli, thinking of her many years of service, posthumously named her Huixian Imperial Noble Consort and held her funeral with the ceremony of an Imperial Noble Consort, with the utmost honor.
Princess Hejing got married in the first month of the year. Fucha Langya saw her off from the palace in tears. When the emperor and the empress went on an eastern tour, they walked side by side, inseparable. After paying homage to Mount Tai, they rested in the temporary palace.
Fu Cha Langya was exhausted, but she spent a lot of effort on dressing up all day to avoid exposing herself.
When Wei Yanwan saw her, she knew that she was already on the verge of death and she didn't know how much time she had left.
After a tiring journey by boat and carriage, the empress fell ill and was in a coma for several days. Hongli decided to take the waterway instead, hoping to send the empress back to the palace as soon as possible.
When they were resting at the shore, Fu Cha Langya went out for a walk to relax. Unexpectedly, she heard Su Lujun, Bai Ruiji and others chatting beside the pleasure boat. She could not hear clearly what they were saying, but one sentence came directly into her ears, and she heard it clearly: "Tit for tat..."
It's a tit for tat. Could it be that her child left her because of what she did in the past?
She staggered to leave, but when she reached the corridor she felt her feet slip and she fell down due to her unstable body.
Wei Yanwan and Hongli came out at some point and saw the queen calling for help in the water, so they immediately asked the people around them to go down and save her.
"The Queen! The Queen!"
Hongli looked at Fu Cha Langya who had fainted and hurriedly took everyone back to her boat. Wei Yanwan looked at the oil stains on the ground, winked at Jinzhong, and then followed Hongli back.
Jinzhong understood and asked someone to guard the place and no one was allowed to disturb the scene.
As for Su Lian and Lian Xin, they had been controlled by Wei Yanwan's men. Hongli was angry and said to Jinzhong, "Investigate for me! Why is there no one serving the queen? You must investigate it thoroughly!"
Jinzhong took the order and went down. The boat was in chaos. Wei Yanwan held Hongli's hand and comforted him carefully. All the concubines were already waiting outside.
"It happened suddenly. Please explain where you were at the time."
Bai Ruiji and a few others were talking together, but they didn't dare to say what they were talking about. They just said it was just a casual chat between sisters. Hongli asked Jinzhong to investigate thoroughly and not let anyone off!
After being busy until midnight, Fu Cha Langya finally woke up.
Seeing this, Wei Yanwan said to Hongli, "Please stay with the Empress and talk to her. I will take my leave now."
"Well, you go back and have a rest first." Hongli squeezed Wei Yanwan's hand and watched her leave before waving everyone away.
"I know that I don't have much time left. I am very happy to see the emperor by my side as soon as I open my eyes." Fu Cha Langya looked at him with joy in her eyes. Although her marriage to Hongli was not a happy one, Hongli was still a respectable wife for her.
After all, there is only one man like this in my life. How can I not be grateful to him after living with him day and night?
"I don't have much time left, and Jingse will be all alone in the future. Your Majesty, please treat Jingse well for the sake of our friendship over the years."
Hongli looked at her and said, "Don't worry, I will ask the imperial physician to treat your illness well. Jingse is my daughter, and I will give her the honor of a princess to the greatest extent possible."
Fu Cha Langya smiled and nodded, then talked about the selection of the successor: "Your Majesty, I will not interfere with who the successor is, but it cannot be Ruyi. Ruyi is from the Ulanara clan, and the previous emperor's queen was very vicious. The descendants of such a person cannot be the queen. I hope Your Majesty will think twice..."
Hongli frowned. At this juncture, Fucha Langya was still so worried. It was no wonder that she was not in good health. "I have my own considerations. Queen, don't worry."
"I am still very unwilling and very scared." Fu Cha Langya said that she knew she was not the legitimate wife chosen by the emperor himself, "I was just chosen by the late emperor and the empress, so I am worried all day long."
It was because of Ruyi in the past, but now it is also because of Wei Yanwan. The emperor’s attitude towards Wei Yanwan has long surpassed that of Ruyi in the past. Even if the emperor doted on someone else in the past, he would not be like this.
"I know that I have never had a complete husband, but as the mother of a country, I can only be a good wife. But Your Majesty, you forget that I am also a woman and I also want to be loved by my husband."
"You are already the Empress, with a son and a daughter, what else can you not be satisfied with?" Hongli looked at Fu Cha Langya, who was cold-hearted after all. Hongli felt that she should be satisfied since she was already the Empress. "The Emperor treats me well, it's just the respect of a husband for his wife, not the deep love."
"I really envy Concubine Xian and Concubine Ling. They have both received your love, Your Majesty, but I will never get it."
Fu Cha Langya's eyes were full of accusations and dissatisfaction towards Hongli, but now looking at him, she felt that he was still so high and mighty, which was far beyond what she could hope for.
