The Destiny of Going to Hell

Just as Fuling gave birth to twins, news came that Zhen Huan had made her move.

Yinzhen was shocked. An Lingrong hadn't even given birth yet, but Zhen Huan was about to give birth first?

He suddenly remembered the scene where Zhen Huan burned moxa early in the morning to protect the fetus, and he couldn't help but feel worried. He was afraid that it was a premature birth, and it was still unclear whether she could give birth or not.

Thinking of the scar on Zhen Huan's face, Yinzhen closed his eyes and thought, feeling nauseous.

"I won't go, Queen. Please go see Concubine Wan on my behalf."

Yinzhen pondered for a moment, and finally decided not to visit in person.

He happily looked at the twins in his arms and named them Hongsheng and Yongtai.

This shows their expectation for twins, a boy and a girl.

Yixiu took the order and went to Zhen Huan's residence. After a day and a night of hard work, Zhen Huan finally gave birth to a boy.

However, she paid a heavy price - she would never be able to have children again.

Yixiu was extremely surprised. She didn't expect that after all the tricks she had used, Zhen Huan could still give birth to a child safely.

Although the price is really too high.

When she looked at the striking scar on Zhen Huan's face and the thin baby boy beside her, Yi Xiu curled her lips into a sneer.

She knew that it would be difficult for Zhen Huan to please Yinzhen anymore.

How can a woman who can no longer bear children and has scars on her face still gain a foothold in the harem?

Yixiu was very proud, as she finally saw Zhen Huan's desolation and helplessness, just like she saw her sister's misery.

Later, Yinzhen looked at the baby who was as fragile as a kitten, and finally decided to wait until he grew up a little and lived beyond three months before giving him a name.

Time passed quietly, and An Lingrong gave birth to a princess named He An in the warmth of May.

She and Fuling raised their children together in the palace. Although Fuling was a noble concubine and had no business, she lived a happy and contented life.

Feng Ruozhao, who was chosen to jointly hold power over the six palaces with Nian Shilan, has always been indifferent to fame and fortune and only sought to protect herself in this turbulent palace.

This mentality of hers invisibly made Nian Shilan's power grow even more, and it almost became a situation where Nian Shilan was the only one in power.

At this time, bad news came from outside the palace about the continuous drought. Not a drop of rain had fallen for two whole months.

The previous epidemic raged like a demon, and now the drought is attacking like a tiger, and the voices of overthrowing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty are even more rampant.

They used natural disasters as a weapon to wantonly destroy Yinzhen's reputation in an attempt to destabilize his rule.

When Yinzhen heard the news, his brows furrowed and his face was full of worry.

Drought affects the country's agriculture and sericulture. He is well aware of its seriousness and is deeply worried.

In order to pray to God for rain and alleviate the drought, Yinzhen and Yixiu decided to go to the Temple of Heaven to pray for rain.

At the same time, they also planned to stay in Ganlu Temple for a few days to pray for the peace of the country and the harem.

The sky in June was scorching hot. Yinzhen and Yixiu left the palace hand in hand and embarked on a journey to pray for rain.

The crowd surrounded them and escorted them all the way to the palace gate, watching them leave with the large team.

As the saying goes, "When there is no tiger in the mountain, the monkey becomes king."

The departure of Yinzhen and Yixiu undoubtedly left a power vacuum in the harem.

Imperial Concubine Fuling is obsessed with the joy of raising children, while Respectful Concubine Feng Ruozhao is like a wooden man and has little interest in power.

As a result, Nian Shilan became more and more proud, as if she saw the dawn of her ascent to the pinnacle of power.

Every day, she asked all the concubines to go to Yiku Palace to discuss matters together. Her attitude seemed to indicate that she wanted to replace Yixiu.

She never took Fuling seriously. What's the matter with being a royal concubine? She was just a figurehead with no real power.

Neither the pregnant Fucha Yixin nor Zhen Huan, who had already given birth, could escape Nian Shilan's "summon".

Although they were dissatisfied, they could do nothing but put on a smile and go to Yiku Palace to deal with the tedious "joint hearing matters".

Zhen Huan was dissatisfied and tried to use Fuling as an excuse, but she didn't expect that not only did Nian Shilan fail to fall into her trap, but she also sent someone to slap Zhen Huan hard.

She was punished by being forced to recite lengthy palace rules under the scorching sun.

Fu Cha Yi Xin felt unwell as soon as she stepped into Yikun Palace. After all, Yi Xiu's previous methods were very real, and she had drunk so many medicines.

The fragrance of joy rose in the Yikun Palace. Soon, Fu Cha Yi Xin's fetal energy was disturbed, her bleeding continued, and she went into premature birth.

Nian Shilan was so frightened that her face turned pale and she quickly called Fuling and the imperial physician to come.

Inside the palace, Fu Cha Yi Xin was groaning in pain, and signs of a difficult birth were evident.

The imperial physician that Yixiu had already arranged for naturally suggested that strong medicines were needed to protect the royal heir.

Fuling knew the pros and cons of this and naturally would not stop it.

Yixiu's strategy took full advantage of Nian Shilan's arrogance and short-sightedness.

Once Fucha Yixin and the unborn prince pass away, the Fucha family outside will never let Nian Shilan go.

This coincides with Fuling's goal. Not only can she get rid of Nian Shilan, the thorn in her side, but she can also ensure that the dirty water will not be thrown on herself. Why not do it?

In the end, Fucha Yixin died along with the royal heir in her belly.

Although she was conferred the title of a concubine, she could only be buried miserably in the concubine's tomb.

In fact, Yinzhen was actually angry in his heart, because this was also his own flesh and blood.

However, the anger of the Fucha family outside and Nian Shilan's taking off her hairpin to apologize made him feel a little more relaxed.

A stillborn baby who had never met could actually cause the Fucha family and the Nian family to come into conflict.

In Yinzhen's view, this was a good thing.

Yixiu's lips curled up into a meaningful smile.

She knew that Yinzhen would be subconsciously influenced by the Huanyi incense in Nian Shilan's palace and would never bother to find out the truth behind it.

"Why doesn't Concubine Yu give some advice?" Yixiu wanted to say something but was interrupted by Yinzhen.

"Yu'er doesn't understand anything. Besides, with Concubine Hua's arrogant attitude, who would be willing to listen to her?"

Yinzhen deprived Nian Shilan of her title as a concubine and punished her to kneel in the Baohua Hall for three hours every day and recite the Sutra of Rebirth for Fu Cha Yixin.

Although Nian Shilan was reluctant, she also knew that she had caused a big disaster.

My brother was also constantly targeted by the Fucha family when he was away.

She could only accept this arrangement with tears in her eyes, her heart filled with regret and helplessness.

Nian Shilan was deeply shocked, so Zhen Huan was naturally happy. However, although she was lucky enough to raise the child by her side, it was also because Yinzhen looked down on the child.

She touched the scar on her face and smashed the bronze mirror.

Even without any favor, she was still a noble, but the food she had these days was not even as good as when she was a concubine.

Just then, Huanbi opened the door and cleaned the house. Zhen Huan looked at Huanbi's face which was similar to her own, and a dark light flashed in her eyes.

In July, the heat gets even more intense and all creatures long for rain.

Finally, with the joint prayers of the emperor and empress, the long-awaited rain finally arrived.

A rainstorm, like a blessing from heaven, dispelled the unspeakable suffering, heat and drought, and brought infinite blessings to the common people.

After the rain, the sky cleared up and the stringed and wind music that had been silent for a long time could be heard again over the palace.

Seeing that the heavy rain had just passed and the fresh moisture in the air had not yet dissipated, Yinzhen told everyone in the harem to hold a banquet on the lake to celebrate.

The banquet was held to celebrate the rain.
