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

Fortunately, Noble Lady Fucha was able to listen to Sang'er's words, and after smashing the tea set and the vase on the table, she calmed down.

"Ju'er..." Noble Lady Fucha murmured, "Ju'er must have a problem. I never asked for Xia Dongchun's things. Why did she take the initiative to exchange Xia Dongchun and me for the plum soup?"

Sang'er fanned her with a fan, smashing things, and Noble Lady Fucha was sweating. Sang'er thought for a moment and said, "It's a pity that Ju'er must have been ordered to be dealt with by the emperor. Otherwise, we could have tried that slave girl to see who benefited her so that she could use this two-birds-one-arrow scheme to harm you, my lady!"

Fu Cha Guiren calmed down, and after being angry, she was only afraid: "Fortunately, the emperor is wise and only confined me. Otherwise, if the emperor was also deceived by the person behind the scenes, I am afraid that I would be in real trouble."

"My lady is right. For now, we should stay under house arrest and wait until the emperor calms down. Then we can explain to him. He will be more willing to listen to us."

Noble Lady Fucha clenched her fists and said, "I must find out who framed me!"

After hearing what Xiao Xiazi said, Shen Meizhuang was also very scared, and immediately called Liu Bin: "Doctor Liu, please take a close look at my plum soup to see if there is any problem."

Liu Bin and Fuling looked at each other, responded, and went to check the plum soup.

After a moment, Liu Bin bowed and said, "Don't worry, my lady, there is nothing wrong with your plum soup."

Shen Meizhuang breathed a sigh of relief and said to Xiao Xiazi with a smile, "Xiao Xiazi, go and report to the emperor so that he can rest assured. The plum soup I drink every day is made by Fuling herself, and I don't take it from the imperial kitchen."

Xiao Xiazi replied, "Then I will go and report. I will take my leave."

Shen Meizhuang nodded, and Xiao Xiazi retreated.

"Fuling, go see off Doctor Liu." Shen Meizhuang placed her hand on her abdomen and instructed Fuling with a faint smile.

Fuling then sent Liu Bin out. Before leaving, Liu Bin gave Fuling a look, and Fuling understood and sent him out of Quyuan Fenghe.

When they got outside, they found a secluded corner, and Fuling asked, "Doctor Liu, is our young lady really not pregnant?"

Liu Bin shook his head: "Of course, so you don't have to really tamper with the plum soup, lest people find out that it's not right, which would ruin things."

Fuling nodded: "I know, without the Majesty's order, I dare not act on my own."

"Anyway, just remember the time and don't do anything bad." Liu Bin gave another instruction and left in a hurry, fearing that if he stayed too long, people would notice something was wrong.

The news that Xia Dongchun had been murdered again soon spread, so the queen, in order to show her kindness, exempted her from paying respects to the emperor for several days. When Yinzhen went to accompany Xia Dongchun at night, she also showed mercy and allowed Xia Dongchun's mother to come to the Old Summer Palace to meet Xia Dongchun.

After Xia Dongchun learned the news, she suddenly felt that other things were not important for the time being. She had not seen her mother for nearly a year. Originally, she was supposed to wait until the baby in her belly was eight months old before she would be granted the grace to allow her mother to enter the palace to accompany her during childbirth. Now that she is only six months pregnant, can she see her mother?

"What's wrong? Are you silly because of happiness?" Yinzhen looked at Xia Dongchun who was stunned and tried to tease her.

After hearing this, Xia Dongchun finally reacted: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."

"Well, you are pregnant, and you are not feeling well today, so why do you need to thank me like this?" Yinzhen smiled, pulled Xia Dongchun up, and gently stroked her abdomen with his hand. "Now I only hope that you and Mei'er can give birth to a healthy child for me safely."

Before Xia Dongchun had time to be happy, her smile froze when he said "Mei'er", but she knew very well that she couldn't show it, and she also knew what Yinzhen wanted to see, so she had to hold back her unhappiness and said, "Your Majesty, Xiao Xiazi went to see Concubine Shen today, and I have been worried about her. Is Concubine Shen okay?"

Yinzhen was very satisfied with her attitude: "Look at you, what can I say to you? You can't even take care of yourself, and yet you still care about others."

Xia Dongchun suppressed her unhappiness and said, "Although I am not close to Concubine Shen, she is pregnant with the Emperor's child, so I naturally have to care about her."

As Xia Dongchun expected, Yinzhen looked at her with more satisfaction after she said this: "Don't worry, Mei'er is fine. Xiao Xiazi said that Mei'er's plum soup was made by the palace maid beside her, not from the imperial kitchen."

Hearing Yinzhen calling her "Mei'er" over and over again, Xia Dongchun couldn't help herself any longer: "If Your Majesty continues like this, I will be jealous. Your Majesty has never called me by my nickname."

Yinzhen said "Oh?" and asked, "I don't know how to address you."

Xia Dongchun choked - yes, not to mention that Yinzhen didn't know, she didn't even have a nickname. Her mother at home sometimes called her "Chun'er", but she felt that such a name didn't sound nice to others, so she didn't mention it.

Seeing her in a daze, Yinzhen couldn't help but smile: "Forget it, forget it. I know you have been wronged, and I intend to give you a title. Is that okay?"

"A title?" Xia Dongchun was delighted at first, then she turned her back and said coquettishly, "Your Majesty, are you trying to make me happy?"

"I am the Son of Heaven, and my words are golden. How could I use this to make fun of you?" Yinzhen did intend to propose a title for Xia Dongchun, which would be both a reward for her contribution in bearing the royal heir and a compensation for the grievances she had suffered.

Xia Dongchun turned around and blinked, "Then I want to ask the emperor, what title do you plan to give me?"

She had just suffered today and had not yet fully recovered, but her foundation was there. Her face was pale now, and looking at Yinzhen like this, she seemed somewhat pitiful.

Yinzhen smiled and said, "I have thought about it. If it means bright and prominent, beautiful and virtuous, then I will name it 'Zhao'. How about that?"

"I have read little poetry and books, but since it was proposed by the emperor, it is naturally very good." Apart from anything else, Xia Dongchun could understand that this was a good title. Since it was good, why would she refuse?

Yinzhen was also happy to hear her frankness, unlike some concubines who clearly did not understand but pretended to understand, which made him annoyed.

"I have already instructed Su Peisheng today. Tomorrow I will ask Su Peisheng to inform the six palaces. This will also be considered as finalizing your title." Yinzhen said. He was also happy about it. Sometimes when the mood was right, he wanted to call Xia Dongchun by her nickname, but he thought it was vulgar. Now that she had a title, it would be convenient for him to call her that. Xia Dongchun would also be happy. It was like killing two birds with one stone.

Two days later, Xia Dongchun was exempted from paying respects to the Queen these days, but she got up early in the morning and waited. Yun Ling was also happy, but still advised her: "My lady, I know you are happy that the Madam is here today, but you have to take care of your own health, right? The sun will be up soon, and you can't stand the heat now."

Xia Dongchun pursed her lips and smiled: "It's just for a while, it's okay, the sun won't come up for another half an hour. I haven't seen my mother for nearly a year, how can I not be happy?"

As they were talking, a woman wearing imperial robes, dignified and graceful, came in with a maidservant by her side, led by Xiao Yuezi.
