Xia Dongchun from Legend of Zhen Huan: I want to live till the last episode

Chapter 113 The Truth of Climbing High and Falling Hard

As soon as Xia Dongchun finished speaking, Noble Lady Fucha turned around and glared at her: "Why are you being so weird, Noble Lady Zhao?"

Xia Dongchun glanced at her and didn't say anything.

Noble Lady Fucha had no place to vent her anger, so she could only look away angrily.

"Well, why are you so angry so early in the morning?" The Queen stepped forward to act as a peacemaker again. "The epidemic has finally improved in the past two days. The Emperor will feel more relaxed. It doesn't matter who he goes to."

"The Empress is right." Noble Lady Fucha felt that the Empress was speaking for her and raised her chin with great pride.

"Noble Lady Wan, have you visited Noble Lady Shen? Is she feeling better?" The Queen ignored Noble Lady Fucha and turned her attention to Shen Meizhuang.

Anyone who sees her would probably think that the queen is a dignified and virtuous person.

Zhen Huan stood up and replied, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. Imperial Doctors Wen and Xu are both very skilled doctors. Concubine Shen is much better now, but the disease is still spreading, so she needs to be taken good care of."

"That's good. Concubine Shen was really wronged." The Queen sighed, as if she felt sorry. "Fortunately, the Emperor has already ordered the punishment of Concubine Nian, which can be regarded as giving Concubine Shen some vent."

When talking about Concubine Nian being punished, everyone present was more or less happy.

They had all been troubled by Concubine Nian to some extent. Now seeing Concubine Nian lose power, even though they knew it was only temporary, they still felt happy.

"Is Princess Wen Yi doing well recently?" The Queen squinted at Concubine Cao. She seemed to be concerned about Wen Yi, but her words contained a hint of provocation. "I noticed that the Emperor has been visiting Ling Yuan more often in the past two days. You don't have to take it too seriously. After all, Ling Yuan is younger and was born prematurely. Even I can't help but feel a little distressed and sympathetic when I see her."

Concubine Cao's smile faded a little, but now her backer, Concubine Nian, has lost power. Even if Concubine Nian is still Concubine Hua, she would not cause trouble if she can: "What the Empress said is that Wen Yi and Ling Yuan are both the Emperor's daughters and sisters. Ling Yuan is in poor health. When I see her, I can't help but think of the situation when Wen Yi was just born. I feel so distressed."

Xia Dongchun glanced at the Queen without leaving a trace, put on a smile, and said to Concubine Cao: "Sister Cao said exactly what I was thinking. Wen Yi and Ling Yuan are about the same age. After another two years, they can still keep each other company."

"By the way, Concubine Borjigit lost her child, so she must be feeling depressed. Concubine Xia, when you have time, please visit her often to comfort her." Seeing that Concubine Cao had easily brushed off the subject, the Queen did not care and instead brought up the matter of Concubine Borjigit's miscarriage.

"Yes, I will go and visit more often." Xia Dongchun agreed. Even if the queen did not tell her, relying on her relationship with Noble Lady Borjigit, she would go and spend more time with Noble Lady Borjigit.

"Noble Lady Fucha, you should also be more careful. Don't be as careless as Noble Lady Borjigit." The Queen said this to Noble Lady Fucha, with a look of concern on her face as she spoke.

Noble Lady Fucha was very moved, and at the same time she secretly thought that she was not as unlucky as Noble Lady Borjigit, and she would definitely give birth to a healthy little prince for the emperor.

After greeting each other, everyone came out of Jingren Palace and returned to their respective palaces.

Noble Lady Fucha was traveling with Xia Dongchun and An Lingrong. When they were in Jingren Palace just now, Noble Lady Fucha didn't dare to ridicule anything in front of the Queen, but now that she was out, she couldn't help but ask, "Noble Lady Zhao, are you going to see Noble Lady Borjigit after breakfast?"

"What? Noble Lady Fucha wants to go with us?" Xia Dongchun said in a cold tone, obviously not wanting to pay attention to her.

"Noble Lady Borjigit just had a miscarriage. How can I go to such an unlucky place when I'm pregnant?" Noble Lady Fucha said, puffing out her not-yet-revealed belly, quite proudly.

Xia Dongchun paused, looked at Noble Fucha fiercely, and said with disdain: "Oh, then Noble Fucha, you must protect your belly. After all, this is your weapon for winning favor. With this child, you will have no problem winning the favor of others. For example, last night, if you didn't have this child, do you think the emperor would abandon An Changzai and go to you?"

An Lingrong, who was walking behind the two of them, felt a little embarrassed, and at the same time, she resented Noble Lady Fucha even more.

Noble Lady Fucha was speechless after being scolded by Xia Dongchun, but if she kept silent, it seemed like she was afraid of Xia Dongchun. Finally, after holding it in for a long time, she could only say: "You are just jealous that I am pregnant."

She quickened her pace and left, fearing that if she stayed any longer, Xia Dongchun would say something she couldn't answer.

After breakfast, Xia Dongchun first looked at Ling Yuan and played with her for a while. After Ling Yuan fell asleep again, he took Yun Ling to Zhongcui Palace.

An Lingrong went to Jingren Palace.

"Your concubine pays her respects to Her Majesty the Queen. May Her Majesty be in good health." An Lingrong bowed and sat down after receiving the Queen's signal.

"Don't take what happened last night to heart." The Queen knew what she was going to say, and before she could open her mouth, she comforted her, "Noble Lady Fucha is pregnant. With her family background, as long as she gives birth to a child, she will be promoted to a concubine in no time. Naturally, she will be very proud and glorious."

After a pause, the queen raised her eyes and said, "But people should know that if they get carried away, they will fall. You should know that the higher you climb, the harder it will be."

The palace was filled with the pleasant fragrance of melons and fruits. An Lingrong felt relieved after hearing what the Queen said.

She was not a stupid person, so she naturally knew that the Queen would not say such a thing for no reason.

It seemed that the Queen's plan had already begun, and her worries seemed unnecessary.

"It was all because of my short-sightedness. Fortunately, with the guidance of the Empress, I didn't make a fool of myself." An Lingrong said respectfully.

This also made the Queen very satisfied. She smiled and said, "At present, Concubine Nian will not be able to see the Emperor for at least a month. Without her and Concubine Wan to share the same attention, this is a good opportunity for you."

"But..." An Lingrong pursed her lips, "Noblewoman Borjigit just had a miscarriage. The Emperor is inevitably distressed. I'm afraid he will visit her more often."

The Queen sneered, her eyes falling on the flower arrangement she had just cut this morning on the table: "You don't have to worry about this. The Emperor probably won't visit Noblewoman Borjigit in the next half month, so I said this is a good opportunity for you."

Although An Lingrong didn't know why, since the Queen said so, she must have her reasons.

"I will obey your majesty." An Lingrong looked determined.

"You seem to have visited Concubine Wan less often these past two days." The Queen stroked the oriental pearl pendant on her earlobe and instructed An Lingrong, "Concubine Wan is favored, and Concubine Shen has been vindicated. You should also visit her more often. Don't let the sisters become estranged."

"I understand."
