Quick Wear: Crazy Female Supporting Role She is Bai Yueguang
Chapter 250: The No. 35 Scholar’s Wife ()
The gentle look in his eyes in the past turned cold and harsh at this moment.
Fu Yayun couldn't help but tremble. She had no doubt that Zhou Wenqing would kill her.
She kept struggling, but the guards only attacked her more fiercely. In the end, she was forced to swallow the medicine.
After taking the bowl of medicine, Fu Yayun lay on the ground in pain, blood flowing from her lower body, staining her clothes red.
"Zhou Wenqing, you harmed Wan Qingqing, and now you're trying to harm me. Aren't you afraid that I'll turn into a ghost and come after you?"
Zhou Wenqing's face changed slightly. Wan Qingqing... Fu Yayun actually knew her. It seemed that she almost knew those secrets.
"shut up."
He kicked Fu Yayun in the chest, then turned around and spoke to Queen Mother Yuan in a flattering manner.
"Your Majesty, I have sent someone to hurry up and prepare seasonal fruits and your favorite snacks for you. Why don't you go and try them?"
Empress Dowager Yuan smiled even more. She hooked Zhou Wenqing's chin and said with a smile.
"Zhou Lang, you are indeed very sensible. Very good, follow me. You are not allowed to refuse me today."
As they spoke, the two looked at each other and smiled ambiguously.
The maids of the Zhou family were not surprised by this, but everyone was afraid of Empress Dowager Yuan's methods.
Fu Yayun was pressed to the ground and forced to kneel. Her eyes were full of pain, but she knew very well in her heart that her life was over today.
Her consciousness became confused and she gradually fell into coma. The words that someone had said to her in the past now kept replaying in Fu Yayun's mind like a death warning.
She suddenly remembered what Shi Qing had said to her. She said Zhou Wenqing was not a good man and that Zhou Wenqing's ex-wife had died a violent death.
But at that time, Fu Yayun believed that love was the most important thing, and regarded Shi Qing's kindness as jealousy of herself. Now that Zhou Wenqing attacked her, she could only wait for death.
Zhou Wenqing is not a human being. She doesn't even want her own child. The pain is getting more and more intense, and Fu Yayun's consciousness is gradually fading.
She heard the voices of people around her, either mocking her or pitying her, but Fu Yayun no longer had the chance to speak.
When Zhou Wenqing learned that Fu Yayun was no longer alive, he was only sad for a moment, and then he had Fu Yayun sent to a mass grave. As for the child who died in vain, who knew who it belonged to.
Even in the academy, everything was arranged by Empress Dowager Yuan. It didn't matter whether Fu Yayun lost her virginity or not. Her reputation was ruined, and Zhou Wenqing lost all face. He no longer needed Fu Yayun.
Perhaps, only if she died could she save a little bit of face.
In the room, Queen Mother Yuan called out unhappily, "Zhou Lang, if you don't serve me well today, I won't leave."
Zhou Wenqing said gently, "I have failed to serve you well. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
The moonlight was bright, and the two of them made a mess for a long time, until two hours later they ended their affair.
Empress Dowager Yuan took off all her clothes and looked at Zhou Wenqing with a charming look. She said with a smile.
"Wenqing, you have made good achievements in government now. When the right opportunity comes, I will promote you further."
Zhou Wenqing bit the empress dowager's ear, his breathing became heavy, and he whispered.
"My Lady, is the woman I brought into the palace two days ago to your liking?"
Empress Dowager Yuan's smile became even brighter.
"I love it very much. That delicate and beautiful appearance, peeling off your skin and making a nourishing cream for me would be the best. You have done a good job. When you have time, I must reward you well."
Concubine Shu and Emperor Wen'an were as close as mother and son. Even the power of managing the harem was given to Concubine Shu. Empress Dowager Yuan was dissatisfied, but did not show it.
She had never liked Emperor Wen An in the first place, and now she was even more worried that he would snatch away the power she held, so she was very cautious in cooperating with Zhou Wenqing on this matter, fearing that she would be discovered by Emperor Wen An's people.
Zhou Wenqing said casually, "As long as Your Majesty likes it, it's fine. I heard that the Third Prince has been sent to the palace by the Grand Tutor. The Emperor is very happy about this and is even planning to make him the Crown Prince."
When the empress dowager heard this, her face turned very ugly. She had spent all these years cultivating the second prince Yuze just to wait for the emperor to die, help the second prince to ascend the throne, and take all the power herself.
The people of the Situ family were so nosy that they actually brought back the third prince who had been missing for many years. She had spent a lot of effort to make the third prince disappear, but now everything was in vain.
"It doesn't matter. The Third Prince is illiterate and has always been a fool. I will send a few useless people to teach him. Even if the Emperor loses him again, he will not feel any pity for his stupid and foolish son."
The imperial family does not care about such favors. Not only does the empress dowager understand this, but everyone is also clear about this.
Although the matter was not strictly enforced, as long as he was there, the Third Prince would have no place in the court.
He's just a kid, nothing special.
Zhou Wenqing just felt that the Queen Mother underestimated the enemy, but since the Queen Mother said so, he didn't know what to say, so he could only remain silent and follow the Queen Mother's wishes.

A heavy rain poured down, and the mass grave became even more deserted. The stench of decay was covered up, and new corpses appeared in the mass grave.
Before Fu Yayun's consciousness faded, someone took her away from the mass grave. She could not see the person's appearance, but could only smell the faint fragrance of crabapple flowers.
[Congratulations to the host for unlocking the mission of helping others, and the reward of double luck value.]
In the Youlan Courtyard, Shi Qing was taking a nap when he heard the voice of the system.
Mingyue brought the prepared food from the kitchen and also prepared some snacks. She walked to Shi Qing and whispered.
"Miss, I have already arranged everything you ordered, and will proceed according to your plan."
Shi Qing nodded, this would be the best.
I received a prompt from the system last night. Shi Qing rescued the dying Fu Yayun from the mass grave. It was not because she was too saintly, but because of the original owner's request.
The original owner said that she and Fu Yayun were as close as sisters when they were young. If it weren't for Shen's instigation, their relationship would not have been so bad. The original owner asked Shi Qing to save Fu Yayun's life.
That's why Shi Qing went to the mass grave in the middle of the night and rescued Fu Yayun. This was the original owner's request, and Shi Qing would not interfere, as he would not suffer any loss anyway.
"Well, you did a great job. Find an opportunity to tell Minister Fu about this. He will seek justice for Fu Yayun."
Mingyue was a little hesitant and felt that Shi Qing shouldn't help Fu Yayun.
"Miss, didn't you say that the Shen family has an irreconcilable feud with you? Why did you save the second young lady, even if she is innocent..."
Shi Qing did not answer. She was just acting according to the original owner's wishes. After all, Fu Yayun's life or death had no impact on her.
"It's enough that Shen has been taught a lesson. Now that she's in the Heavenly Prison, she might not be having an easy time. As for Fu Yayun, she won't be a problem."
Of course, there is another point. Fu Yayun has now lost her child and her hatred for Zhou Wenqing has doubled. If necessary, she will also be a witness.
However, what happened in the Zhou family was catalyzed.
Shi Qing learned from Tuanzi that it was Xiu Wen who secretly revealed the affairs of the Shen family, which allowed Fu Yayun to know the truth.
The maidservant beside Fu Yayun is actually a hidden dragon and crouching tiger.
Mingyue felt relieved after hearing Shi Qing's words.
Shen was imprisoned in the prison for half a month. She became ill due to worry and had no appetite. She even lost a lot of weight.
Shi Qing took the opportunity to report the incident of Shen's murder of Wan Baozhu to the prefect of Jingzhao. Shen was convicted of multiple crimes and was eventually sentenced to public beheading.
Three days later, Shen was escorted to the vegetable market and executed.
There were countless people in the vegetable market, and they all looked at Shen with contempt. Many people threw vegetable leaves and rotten eggs at her.
Shen didn't care. She just wanted to know how her daughter was doing. Minister Fu had never seen her. Apart from that, Shen had no way of getting any other information.
Until the executioner's blade fell, blood splattered everywhere, and she ended her humble life.
Minister Fu, who was hiding in the crowd, was wrapped tightly. He came to see Shen Shuer for the last time until he saw her fall down.
Only then did he realize that Shen Shu'er had stopped breathing. It was not until the crowd dispersed that Minister Fu had Shen Shu'er's body collected and sewed up.
Afterwards, a grave was found for her and Shen Shuer was buried in it.

Emperor Wen'an's birthday banquet is approaching, and court officials are busy preparing for it.
The person who hosted the banquet this time was still Concubine Shu, and Empress Dowager Yuan, who had originally been indifferent to worldly affairs, took the initiative to offer to assist.
Emperor Wen'an did not object and agreed with Empress Dowager Yuan's idea. Finally, with everyone expecting or watching, the birthday banquet was put on the agenda.
Emperor Wen'an's health was not very good.
During this period, his health was particularly serious. He often asked the imperial physician to check his pulse every two or three days, and took medicine every day. However, even if the imperial physician used medicine to prolong his life, Emperor Wen An would not have much time left.
After Situ Jin knew about this, he went to the palace to accompany him every day. Emperor Wen'an was obviously only in his thirties, but he was too weak to hold on.
On the eve of the banquet, Emperor Wen'an asked Situ Jin to bring Shi Qing into the palace.
Outside the palace with carved beams and painted rafters, there were heavy guards of the imperial palace. Emperor Wen An was waiting for the two to arrive in the imperial study.
After a while, the eunuch's voice was heard outside the hall.
"The Right Prime Minister has arrived, and Master Fu has arrived."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shi Qing and Situ Jin appeared in the palace.
"I have met the emperor."
The two of them bowed to Emperor Wen'an with great respect.
The little prince beside Emperor Wen'an's eyes lit up when he saw Shi Qing. He quickly flew into Shi Qing's arms with his short legs and spoke in a coquettish manner.
"Sister, you finally came to see me. Although the palace is good, I miss you so much without you."
Shi Qing felt a little embarrassed. The words said by the usually clever guy really made Shi Qing feel that his life was in danger.
She secretly glanced at Emperor Wen'an's expression and saw that he looked calm, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he was not worried at all about this matter.
Shi Qing handed the prepared snacks to the little prince and said with a smile.
"Your Highness, I brought you some of your favorite lotus cakes, as well as some roast chicken. Come and try them."
The first time Shi Qing met the third prince A Ci was when she went to the academy for the first time. Due to the system's prompt, she saw the little prince begging in the crowd.
Although dirty, his little face was very cute. Shi Qing secretly used lotus cake to control the little prince, and then he was naturally abducted by Shi Qing.
"Yes, thank you, sister."
Ah Ci took the snacks and trotted to the emperor, saying with sparkling eyes.
"Father, when I was stranded outside, it was this sister who helped me. Father, sister is the best person in the world. You must reward her well, preferably with more silver."
Emperor Wen An looked at A Ci with a very gentle gaze. Only the little prince could make him feel loving and affectionate. Thinking of this, Emperor Wen An's heart softened.
"Okay, okay, my father will definitely reward Miss Fu, so don't get angry."
Ah Ci then grinned, pinching Emperor Wen An's bright yellow sleeve and looking at the face that looked like his own, he spoke eagerly to Emperor Wen An.
"Your Majesty is the best. I will always be by your side. You should smile more. That will make you look better."
Emperor Wen An, who originally had a stern expression, now had a smile on his brow, but when his eyes fell on the little prince, he inexplicably felt a little sad.
However, thinking of his own physical condition, Emperor Wen An's face became gloomy. He didn't know how to say goodbye. His A Ci was too young. If he left, who would support him in the future?
So, Emperor Wen An asked the eunuch beside him to take the little prince away, and then looked at the people around him with a serious expression.
"Ajin, Miss Fu, I don't have much time left."
Emperor Wen'an said this as if he had used up all his strength. Over the years, Emperor Wen'an had overdrawn his body just for everything in the court.
He knew in his heart that his days were gradually coming to an end, but he was unwilling to leave just like that.
Situ Jin knew about this. He had assisted the emperor for many years, and there were some things that he could guess even if the emperor didn't say it.
He said in a deep voice, "The emperor is young and strong, still in his prime. The doctors in the Imperial Hospital are highly skilled and will definitely make the emperor's health better."
Hearing this, Situ Jin's tone became even more serious. It was unclear whether these words were meant to comfort himself or the people around him.
Emperor Wen An laughed sarcastically and shook his head helplessly.
"Over the years, the Imperial Hospital has sent countless tonics. I was on guard against poisoning, but it's impossible to prevent it. My health has finally broken down, and the court is in turmoil. If I were gone, what would A Ci do with this huge court and the world?"
Shi Qing thought of the ending of Emperor Wen'an in the original plot, and she also guessed that Emperor Wen'an's health deteriorated, which was probably related to the Empress Dowager.
Empress Dowager Yuan was originally just greedy for power and wanted to control Emperor Wen'an, but she never expected that the son she did not personally raise would be so capable and actually occupy a major position in the world.
As a result, Empress Dowager Yuan's ambition began to expand, especially after she met Zhou Wenqing, she gradually wanted to seize the throne of Emperor Wen'an.
As for why Emperor Wen'an was poisoned despite being cautious, it naturally came down to the concubines in the harem.
The concubines given to Emperor Wen'an were all selected by Empress Dowager Yuan herself. Most of them were ladies from prominent families, and their families were very prestigious in the court.
Empress Dowager Yuan joined forces with the concubines' families and began to cooperate. She even poisoned the concubines' bodies. As long as Emperor Wen'an summoned someone to sleep with him, the person would be poisoned.
