This palace comes back in this life, only to be Nian Shilan

Chapter 77: Concubine Hua is furious

"What's going on? Tell me slowly and calmly."

Zhou Ninghai ran directly into Yikun Palace from outside, which shows that the matter was urgent.

Zhou Ninghai turned his head and glanced in the direction of the bedroom where Princess Linglong was sleeping. Concubine Hua noticed Zhou Ninghai's expression and felt that something bad was going to happen, and she couldn't help but tighten her handkerchief.

"The Emperor has just ordered Concubine Shen to be confined to her home, and has demoted Concubine Xin to a concubine. Princess Linglong also forbade Concubine Xin to stay by her side."

When Concubine Hua heard the news, she couldn't help but look towards the bedroom. Seeing Linglong was still sleeping soundly, Concubine Hua felt relieved.

"How come no one informed me about such a big thing?!" Concubine Hua was furious. Mei Zhuang was really pregnant, so why was she still under house arrest?

And there is Concubine Xin, who is just a good person on weekdays. Although she has come to rely on me, I have never asked her to do anything out of line. Why would she directly anger the emperor and be demoted to a concubine?

Zhou Ninghai also heard the news and immediately came back to report, without inquiring about the specific situation in detail.

"Where is the emperor now?"

"The Emperor is visiting Noble Lady Fucha in the Yanxi Palace now."

"Go to Yanxi Palace!"

Concubine Hua looked at Linglong sleeping soundly in the bedroom, who was not awakened by the noise outside the room at all. She winked at the two palace maids Guizhi and Lanzhi, then went out with Songzhi.

When the master and servants rushed all the way to the Yanx Palace, Concubine Hua had already calmed down. Apart from the Queen, there was no one else in the palace who could deal with the two concubines without Concubine Hua knowing.

Noble Lady Fucha is just a weakling who appears to be powerful but is actually weak. She doesn't have this ability.

After thinking these things through, Hua Fei walked to the entrance of Tiyuan Hall in Yanx Palace and indeed saw Xiao Xiazi waiting outside.

Xiao Xiazi was also smart. When he saw the God of Wealth coming towards him, he quickly stepped forward and blocked Hua Fei's way, whispering to her:

"Your Majesty, today Noble Lady Fucha had her spotting again. The imperial physician found out that it was because she ate purslane wontons. The Emperor was furious and ordered an investigation. It turned out that only Noble Lady Shen's small kitchen and the Changchun Palace owned by Xin Dan had purslane in the palace, so..."

There was no need to say more about what was said afterwards, as Concubine Hua understood the whole thing. Thinking of Linglong taking the purslane from her palace at noon, Concubine Hua could not help but curl her lips, fearing that the Queen still wanted to take action against her.

"I understand." Concubine Hua's brows turned cold and her face became serious. She adjusted her posture and placed her armored hand on Songzhi's hand. "Please tell Eunuch Xia that I want to see the emperor."

"Yeah." Xiao Xiazi usually received a lot of benefits from Concubine Hua, and Concubine Hua treated him with courtesy on weekdays. Even if he didn't care about the Nian family, Xiao Xiazi still respected Concubine Hua enough.

Xiao Xiazi turned around and went into the palace to report to the emperor: "Your Majesty, Concubine Hua heard that Noble Lady Fucha was ill, so she came to visit."

Xiao Xiazi's words were very measured. The emperor, who had just been ordered to give orders, looked at Wen Yi's smiling face and felt a little relieved. Thinking of the greeting letter that Nian Gengyao had recently sent to him, he said, "Let her in."

The queen was drinking tea calmly at the side, and no one saw the smile on her face when she lowered her head.

"I pay my respects to the Emperor and the Empress. I heard that Noble Lady Fucha's heir was in trouble, so I rushed here. I didn't expect that the Empress had already arrived. I am late."

All the people who were supposed to perform in the palace were gathered together: the complacent Concubine Qi, the worried Concubine Jing, the tearful Shen Meizhuang, the anxious An Lingrong, and Concubine Xin whose eyes had lost their luster.

The only thing missing is myself.

Concubine Hua bowed gracefully to the emperor. Although she was short, her voice was exceptionally gentle and charming. She even sounded a little anxious when she mentioned Noble Lady Fucha.

"Get up. The situation was urgent and I didn't have time to inform you." The emperor passed the jade bead in his hand from his right hand to his left hand, and then stretched out his right hand to help Concubine Hua up.

This scene fell into the Queen's eyes and hurt her heart. The actions and words just now directed at Concubine Hua did not hurt her at all. The Emperor treated Concubine Hua very differently.

"Yes, I heard that Noble Lady Fucha had eaten something by mistake."

Pretending to be puzzled, Concubine Hua stood up and sat beside the Emperor. Then she looked at Xin Da Ying and Shen Mei Zhuang who were kneeling on the ground. Both of them were kneeling on the ground, one looked as pale as death, and the other was in tears.

"Yes, Noble Lady Fucha has been having frequent spotting recently, and the fetus seems unstable. I thought it was because the pregnancy was not stable, but I didn't expect that someone had poisoned her." The emperor glanced at the two people underground and there was a kind of anger in his eyes as if he was disappointed in their friend. This subtle emotion was keenly captured by Concubine Hua.

"Is Noble Lady Fucha's pregnancy safe and sound?" Concubine Hua pretended to be virtuous.

"The bleeding continues. The imperial physician has already prescribed medication to preserve the pregnancy. As for whether the baby can be saved..." Yongzheng was hesitant to speak.

Concubine Hua knew why Yongzheng was so angry. If the fetus could be saved, everything would be fine.

"The heir cannot be wrong at all. I believe that Imperial Doctor Zhang is a master of medicine and will be able to save this baby." Hua Fei held Yongzheng's hand to comfort him. "It's just that the servants' meals went wrong. What does this have to do with Concubine Xin and Concubine Shen? Your Majesty, be careful not to get angry and get sick."

"Noble Lady Shen was jealous that Noble Lady Fucha was pregnant with a prince, so she teamed up with Concubine Xin to add purslane, which can cause women to have miscarriages, to Noble Lady Fucha's food. Noble Lady Shen's maid Fuling has already admitted to this, so you don't have to worry too much, my sister." Ulanara Yixiu put down her teacup and spoke slowly.

Hua Fei looked at the Queen's calm and confident look, and she couldn't help but tighten the handkerchief in her hand.

Fuling again? Even if he hadn't done anything in this life, Fuling still betrayed Shen Meizhuang. It was his carelessness.

"How did Sister Shen know that Noble Lady Fucha was pregnant with a prince?" Concubine Hua grasped the key.

"A few days ago, the Imperial Astronomical Observatory reported that Noble Lady Fucha had the Southern Dipper main star in her fate palace, indicating a male fetus, while Noble Lady Shen had the Northern Dipper main star in her fate palace, indicating a female fetus. I didn't believe these nonsense at first, but I didn't expect that the gossipy little eunuch would spread it, and Noble Lady Shen believed it. The Shen family is so shallow!"

Yongzheng became more and more angry as he spoke. He saw Shen Meizhuang kneeling in front of him, still wearing the hairpin that the empress dowager had given her a few days ago. The hairpin was given to the empress dowager by the late emperor when she was pregnant with his fourteenth brother. The emperor always felt annoyed whenever he saw it, but Shen Meizhuang was completely unaware of it and kept wearing it every day.

Although she said that she didn't believe in destiny, her body honestly believed it. This was the first time since Yongzheng ascended the throne that he was outraged by the theory of astrology, which was something Hua Fei did not notice in her previous life.

However, the news was reported by the Imperial Observatory a few days ago, so why don’t I know it yet? It seems that there is a villain in the Yikun Palace.

Concubine Hua had no time to think about the mistake that had occurred in Yikun Palace. The most urgent task was to protect Concubine Shen and Concubine Xin.

"How dare you wear this hairpin and show off everywhere!"
