She died such a tragic death in life, and even after death, her ghost was not taken seriously by these people.
Now, she has finally made the high and mighty Consort Hua show a look of pain.
All night long, Fu Zi kept replaying the scene of Yongzheng and the Empress Dowager conspiring to kill her unborn child in Consort Hua's dreams, driving Consort Hua to the brink of collapse time and time again.
After daybreak, Consort Hua no longer cared about the chaotic situation in the palace.
She lost control of her emotions and insisted on calling the imperial physician on duty. Then she held a knife to the physician's neck and desperately forced him to tell the truth about the Huan Yi Xiang.
The imperial physician turned pale with fright and said tremblingly that the Huan Yi Xiang incense contained musk, which was the reason she was unable to have children.
Upon hearing this, Consort Hua's mental support collapsed instantly, and she broke down in tears.
Meanwhile, chaos had already broken out outside the palace.
Emperor Yongzheng slept soundly in his dream all night, tormented and retaliated against by the vengeful spirit of the infant. He had no time to attend to matters outside the palace, let alone prepare a backup plan to guard against trouble caused by members of the imperial clan outside.
This oversight directly led to the situation just as dawn broke.
The third, fifth, eighth, and tenth princes then led the imperial clan and soldiers to force the emperor to abdicate.
A fierce siege battle instantly erupted outside the palace gates, with shouts of battle and the clash of weapons mingling together.
Chapter 7 The Legend of Zhen Huan
Upon waking, Emperor Yongzheng was still reeling from the terror of his dream when the earth-shattering news from outside the palace instantly terrified him.
All night long, he suffered all kinds of torment in his dreams, being frantically torn apart by the vengeful spirits of the dead babies.
My body felt like it was being gnawed down to a skeleton and reborn again and again, causing me immense pain.
What happened in reality was like a heavy blow, enraging him beyond measure.
"Summon Nian Gengyao, Zhang Tingyu, and Prince Yi immediately!"
After Yongzheng finished giving his stern instructions, Su Peisheng was so frightened that he knelt down on the ground with a thud and replied while crying.
"Your Majesty, Prince Yi has led Nian Gengyao and Zhang Tingyu to the palace gate and is currently confronting the rebel army!"
Yongzheng struggled to get out of bed, his face clouded with gloom.
He was furious and wanted to rush out, but just then, Empress Yixiu rushed over and knelt down to complain.
"Your Majesty, Consort Hua has gone mad. She rushed into Consort Duan's palace and killed her. Now she's rushing out of the palace like a madwoman."
Consort Hua is likely harboring rebellious intentions and may be plotting to collude with Nian Gengyao and outsiders!
Upon hearing this, Emperor Yongzheng was furious and kicked Empress Yixiu to the ground.
"Shut up! The palace gates are about to fall, and you're still bickering over a man at a time like this! Immediately send someone to tie up Consort Hua, and absolutely prevent her from seeing Nian Gengyao!"
Yongzheng broke out in a cold sweat whenever he recalled the nightmarish experience of last night.
The grotesque faces of the dead children and the scenes of them tearing and biting wildly haunted his mind like ghosts, making it impossible for him to remain calm.
Hua Fei's unusual behavior made him uneasy. Could it be that Hua Fei knew the truth about what happened back then?
If Nian Shilan and Nian Gengyao were to defect at this moment, his throne would be completely unstable!
Thinking this, Yongzheng hurriedly ordered Su Peisheng to deliver a secret edict to Prince Yi.
"Execute Nian Gengyao immediately!"
Regardless of whether Consort Hua knows the truth or not, at this crucial moment, we must not allow Nian Gengyao to betray us!
Tang Yu, along with Consort Hua, hid in the shadows and witnessed firsthand the scene of Emperor Yongzheng issuing a secret decree to execute Nian Gengyao.
Consort Hua's face instantly turned to tears, and she rushed to Yongzheng like a wild beast, crying out in a hoarse voice.
"Your Majesty, how cruel you are! I had a sliver of hope that I could escape this fate, but now I realize that I am the biggest fool in the world!"
You harmed our child, and now you want to kill my brother. Do you also want to take my life?
"Since that's the case, then you shall die with Shilan, go and be buried with my child, let's all die together, okay?"
Consort Hua went mad, brandishing her knife and charging forward.
Upon seeing this, Yongzheng panicked, completely unaware of how Consort Hua had suddenly appeared. He turned around and tried to run away.
However, Tang Yu directly used magic to freeze Yongzheng's body, rendering him unable to move.
Yongzheng could only stand there in horror, watching helplessly as Consort Hua rushed forward and plunged a knife into his chest.
His eyes widened in fury as he roared, "You vile woman, I am the Emperor..."
Consort Hua, however, embraced Emperor Yongzheng and burst into wild laughter.
"Emperor? You dare call yourself Emperor? You are a heartless father and a cruel husband! Today, you will be buried with my poor child! Die!"
Watching the person in front of her slowly lose their breath and fall to the ground, seeing the gushing bright red blood, Consort Hua went into a frenzy and laughed wildly.
She held up a blood-stained knife, intending to commit suicide. Tang Yu quickly said to Consort Hua, "You should see your brother!"
Consort Hua looked at the unseeing face of Emperor Yongzheng in her arms, her hatred reaching its peak. She raised her knife and stabbed the corpse again and again, blood splattering everywhere.
Not long after Yixiu left, she heard a huge commotion coming from the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and hurriedly led her people back.
But the sight before her made her freeze in place.
The Emperor lay in a pool of blood, and Consort Hua's face was covered in blood.
Yixiu roared in terror.
"Consort Hua, have you gone mad? What are you doing, you insane woman? How is the Emperor? What have you done to him?"
Consort Hua laughed even more wildly, her voice so shrill it seemed to pierce the air.
"Empress, I've been fighting with you for most of my life, only to realize now that I'm a joke, but aren't you the same?"
Our emperor is heartless, cold-blooded, and ruthless; he can kill his own child at will.
You are no less impressive. As the Empress, you have caused the deaths of one woman's child after another in the harem. You two are truly a perfect match!
Now, I'm waiting for your retribution!
Yixiu staggered back several steps in shock, her face turning ashen white. Huafei's current madness made her truly feel fear.
Tang Yu did not take action against Empress Yixiu for the time being, but instead used magic to send Consort Hua to Nian Gengyao.
Covered in blood and weeping bitterly, Consort Hua told Nian Gengyao the whole truth.
After saying this, he committed suicide in front of his elder brother.
Nian Gengyao was instantly enraged, his entire being like a powder keg that had been ignited.
He was originally leading the palace soldiers, fighting fiercely against the enemy forces outside.
But at this moment, Consort Hua's death made him completely lose his mind, and he turned around and attacked Prince Yi, Yinxiang.
Then, he killed Zhang Tingyu with his sword, and then opened the palace gates directly, letting the enemy troops in.
The third, fifth, eighth, and tenth brothers were all so shocked by what they saw that they couldn't close their mouths.
The battle has only just begun, and the siege this morning was far from exhausting for both sides. Why did the people inside the city suddenly give up resistance?
Moreover, it was Nian Gengyao himself who opened the door and let them in; the change was so fast it was unbelievable!
After a group of people stormed the palace, the news of Yinzhen's death shocked his brothers.
Next, the third and eighth brothers exchanged glances, and their respective factions began to secretly plot and realign themselves.
Previously, they only thought about rebellion, but now that Yinzhen is dead, who will become emperor has become a thorny issue.
The third brother believed that as the eldest brother, it was only natural for him to take the place of the elder brother.
Behind the eighth prince were the ninth, tenth, and fourteenth princes, as well as the clan's forces, which were deeply entrenched and extremely powerful.
Therefore, everyone turned their attention to Nian Gengyao.
Nian Gengyao's current allegiance is crucial to the future direction of the situation.
However, Nian Gengyao did not easily take sides. After being praised by Yongzheng, he knew how ruthless and dirty the hearts of emperors could be.
No matter who is promoted now, these people will eventually think that he has made too many contributions and will kill him sooner or later.
So, after locking the princes in the palace to discuss who should be emperor, Nian Gengyao gave an order, and a group of soldiers rushed in and launched a bloody massacre.
Even though princes are of noble status, only those who personally lead troops have real prestige in the army.
Therefore, at this moment, everyone fell into Nian Gengyao's trap.
At this moment, Tang Yu ignored the internal strife among the group.
She directly cornered Empress Yixiu inside the Empress's palace.
Chapter 8: The Legend of Zhen Huan (End)
As Yi Xiu watched Tang Yu press closer and closer, she retreated in a panic, her voice trembling yet trying to sound tough as she shouted.
"Xia Dongchun, who exactly are you? What do you want? I am the Empress, how dare you be so bold!"
Seeing the man's blustering and cowardly demeanor, Tang Yu couldn't help but chuckle.
Although she was using Xia Dongchun's body, Consort Hua realized that she was not the real Xia Dongchun when she first met her.
"The Emperor has passed away, and the palace gates have been breached. Yet Your Majesty the Empress is still indulging in your lofty dreams? Today is the day when countless wronged souls will come to claim your life!"
Previously, Tang Yu had learned of Yi Xiu's many misdeeds from the Empress Dowager's servants.
This time, she directly fed Yixiu the medicine.
Soon, Yixiu began to recount, out of control, how many innocent children she had taken.
As she was speaking, she suddenly lost control of her emotions and roared angrily.
"My child died on that rainy night, so why can the Emperor have one child after another? They all deserve to die!"
Tang Yu chuckled.
"The Emperor is the real culprit, why don't you go and kill him?"
