RPAGF Chapter 214 Consort Fucha
Chapter 214 Consort Fucha
Today, Fu Yurao was summoned by her father, Da Pang Ju, to accompany the emperor, and later, on a whim, went to the Imperial Garden for some fresh air.
She had just walked out of the Imperial Garden, and along the way, the whispers of the palace maids drifted into her ears like the wind.
"I heard that Consort Su of Yanxi Palace is pregnant! This is truly wonderful news!"
A palace maid said softly.
“Yes, yes, His Majesty will be very happy,” another palace maid chimed in.
"I never expected that Consort Zhao, who often accompanies the emperor, would not conceive a royal heir."
On the contrary, Consort Su, who was not particularly favored, became pregnant.
I wonder who is truly more fortunate?
The third palace maid's words seemed to carry a hint of sarcasm.
Hearing the palace maids' conversation, Fu Yurao's mood of relaxing in the Imperial Garden vanished instantly.
These palace maids are getting more and more unruly, daring to talk about their masters so recklessly!
A barely perceptible glint of malice flashed in her eyes, and her steps involuntarily faltered slightly.
But she quickly regained her composure, a faint smile on her face, and continued walking.
Upon returning to the east side hall of Yanxi Palace, Fu Yurao slowly sat down in front of her dressing table.
At the gentle care of her personal maid, she carefully removed the hairpins from her head.
She stared at herself in the mirror, her beautiful face now revealing a hint of ruthlessness.
She snorted coldly, secretly thinking to herself:
"I really didn't expect this. I've already given this old emperor a sterilization drug..."
He was incredibly lucky to have another child.
Fu Yurao and this Consort Su lived in the same palace.
Normally, seeing how cautious and timid Consort Su was, no one noticed anything unusual about her.
I never expected it, this seemingly ordinary woman...
She had become pregnant without even realizing it.
Indeed, a dog that bites doesn't bark.
Hmph, Consort Su has a weak foundation in the palace. Getting rid of her child shouldn't be too difficult.
She thought to herself, if she couldn't even get rid of this one child, then the other children in the palace would probably be even more difficult to deal with.
Fu Yurao stood up, slowly walked to the window, and quietly gazed at the night sky outside.
The moonlight, like water, gently spilled onto the flowers and plants in the courtyard, as if draping them in a layer of silver gauze.
However, the beautiful moonlight could not dispel the gloom in her heart; instead, it made her mood even heavier.
When Fu Yu Rao's personal maid saw her expression, she assumed that Fu Yu Rao was feeling down because Consort Su was pregnant.
After all, his concubine had been deeply favored by the emperor since entering the palace, but had not yet conceived.
So the palace maid gently comforted her:
"My lady, do not be sad. You are young and beautiful, and you are deeply favored by the Emperor. You will surely be able to conceive a royal heir in the future."
Although Fu Yurao's two palace maids were brought into the palace by Fu Yurao...
However, they were also unaware of Fu Yurao's purpose in entering the palace.
Upon hearing the palace maid's words, Fu Yurao's lips curled up slightly, revealing a cold smile.
She turned her head, her gaze piercing as she stared at the palace maid, and said coldly:
"How could I possibly be saddened by such a thing?"
You underestimate me!
The palace maid was startled by Fu Yurao's reaction and quickly lowered her head to admit her mistake.
Seeing this, Fu Yurao softened her tone and continued to ask:
"After you entered the palace, did you get along with anyone in the west wing?"
The palace maid hesitated for a moment, then replied:
"Your Highness, there is a familiar young maid who works in Suzhou and Changzhou."
Upon hearing this, Fu Yurao's smile widened, and she nodded in satisfaction, saying:
"Very good. Don't lose contact with them over there. I might need to use it in the future."
The palace maid quickly agreed, indicating that she would certainly comply.
After the palace maids left, Fu Yurao began to ponder again.
She knew this matter was of great importance and that she had to proceed with extreme caution, leaving absolutely no room for error.
Although Consort Su is out of favor, she is now pregnant with the emperor's child, which is a considerable threat.
If we rashly take action against her, the consequences could be disastrous if the old emperor finds out.
Fu Yurao was certainly not afraid of death, but she did not want to die in vain.
She needed to devise a foolproof plan that would both eliminate Su Chang from the child and ensure her own safety.
She decided to first have her personal maid find out about Consort Su's situation from that young girl.
For example, her daily diet, routine, and whether the people serving her are reliable.
Fu Yurao fell into deep thought again, her mind filled with various ways to get rid of Su Changzai's child.
The first thing that comes to mind is poisoning, which is the most direct and deadliest method.
However, this method is too risky and easily detected.
Moreover, people around Su Chang will definitely pay extra attention after she becomes pregnant.
It is almost impossible to poison someone without them noticing.
Then, she thought of framing him.
However, Su Changzai is always cautious and probably won't take the bait easily, so this trick might not work.
Fu Yurao felt increasingly headache-inducing as she thought about it. Frustrated, she tapped her fingers on the windowsill, making a crisp sound.
Just then, her gaze inadvertently fell on the blooming crabapple tree outside the window.
The crabapple blossoms were exquisitely beautiful, their petals as radiant as pink clouds, swaying gently in the breeze.
As Fu Yurao gazed at the beautiful flower, a thought suddenly flashed through her mind.
A sly smile crept onto her lips.
This idea seems good; it achieves the goal without being easily noticed.
Fucha Peiyun had already sent Su Changzai away,
Subsequently, Fucha Peiyun personally went to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to tell Da Pang Ju this joyful news.
When the chubby man learned that Consort Su was pregnant, he was naturally delighted; there was now another pregnant woman in the palace.
This proves that he is not old yet.
The fat emperor was overjoyed and immediately wanted to reward Consort Su.
At the same time, he became even more satisfied with Empress Fucha Peiyun, the Crown Princess who brought such good fortune to the palace.
Of course, they also expressed high recognition for Empress Shilan, who was very capable in managing the harem.
He knew that the harmony and stability of the harem depended on the joint efforts of the two empresses, and therefore he was very satisfied with them.
The more virtuous and generous the two women became, the more uncomfortable the chubby orange cat felt.
Both were qualified empresses and matriarchs.
But she is no longer the woman who would fight for him, throw tantrums, or act childish.
Empress Fucha Peiyun is now dignified and poised, handling all matters of the inner palace with remarkable order and efficiency.
But when she looked at him, her eyes held a more distant respect.
Shilan was incorruptible and ruthless in managing the imperial harem.
But she will never again throw herself into his arms with a coquettish air like before.
Furthermore, the older Hongchang gets, the older he becomes.
He couldn't help but begin to suspect something, but after several investigations, he found nothing.
He had no choice but to ignore them.
Big Fat Orange smiled and said to Fucha Peiyun:
"Your Majesty, Consort Su's pregnancy is truly a blessing for our Great Qing!"
You must take good care of her on a daily basis and not neglect her in the slightest.
