Chapter 78 Noble Lady Fucha's Son Accuses His Father
After the Sixth Prince's full moon celebration, the chubby orange cat went to Yanxi Palace to see her son every day during the day.
I either stay at Consort Fang's place or at Consort Chun's place at night.
Consort Fang, also known as Chun Changyi, has become a new favorite in the imperial harem.
But few people seemed to care about the favor these two received.
This is because Consort Jing, Consort Jin, and Noble Lady Xin have all confirmed that they are pregnant.
However, since their pregnancies were not yet stable, they did not publicize it extensively.
Only those close to you know
However, all three of them were grateful to Consort Shu. If Consort Shu hadn't mentioned them to the Emperor...
Having long fallen out of favor and been forgotten by the emperor, how could they possibly have the chance to conceive?
Consort Jing knew very well that if it weren't for Consort Shu's miraculous fertility medicine,
She will never have any children in her life.
Upon learning that Consort Jin and Noble Lady Xin were also pregnant, it became immediately clear that their pregnancies were also orchestrated by Consort Shu.
Consort Jin and Noble Lady Xin had already damaged their health years ago and could not conceive again.
This Consort Shu's shrewd methods prove that she made the right choice.
Now that she has a child, and knowing the cruelty of the inner palace, she must cling tightly to Consort Shu's coattails.
Only then can there be hope of ensuring the safety of the mother and child.
If Consort Jing thought this way, then Noble Lady Xin thought even more so.
Although she did not know that Consort Shu had a fertility medicine, she regained favor because of Consort Shu.
Moreover, no one in the palace had conceived for a long time, and it just so happened that after Consort Shu's sixth son's one-month celebration...
She, along with Consort Jing and Consort Jin, all became pregnant one after the other; this must be a blessing brought by Consort Shu and the Sixth Prince.
It is said that Consort Shu would burn incense every day under the hairpin of the Two Immortals of Harmony and Union bestowed upon her by the Empress Dowager.
Praying for offspring for the sisters in the palace
Her pregnancy with Consort Jing and Consort Jin must be a blessing brought by Consort Shu and her child.
Thinking back to her past friendship with Consort Wan, she received no favor whatsoever.
The emperor still neglects the other women in the harem because of Consort Wan.
Neither Shen Meizhuang nor An Lingrong, who were close friends with Consort Wan, fared well.
Shen Meizhuang either nearly lost her life or was framed for faking a pregnancy.
An Lingrong is now even dead.
It seems that Consort Wan must be an unlucky person, otherwise she wouldn't have received the Emperor's favor.
She finally got pregnant, but it was a daughter, and yet she couldn't even protect her daughter. What bad luck!
Recalling how Consort Shu wasn't particularly favored when she first entered the palace, yet she was fortunate enough to become pregnant.
She gave birth to a son in one fell swoop, and was immediately promoted to concubine and then imperial consort.
These are the truly blessed people.
Fortunately, she wasn't too close to Consort Wan, which prevented her from being implicated.
Fortunately, she hadn't offended Consort Shu to death before.
From now on, she will definitely follow Consort Shu's lead, so that her Shuhe and the one in her womb can have a good life.
Therefore, Consort Xin specially found an opportunity to invite Consort Jin to go to Consort Shu's palace to express her gratitude.
"What brings you here today, sisters?" Fucha Peiyun asked with a gentle smile as she held Hongchang in her arms.
Consort Jin and Noble Lady Xin hurriedly bowed and said respectfully:
“Your sisters have come to thank Your Majesty for your blessings. If it weren’t for Your Majesty, how could you have conceived another son of the emperor?”
Upon hearing this, Fucha Peiyun smiled slightly, waved her hand gently, and said:
"Sisters, you're too kind. This is all thanks to our own good fortune."
What does this have to do with me?
Just then, Consort Jing arrived with a beaming smile and carefully prepared gifts.
When she saw that Consort Jin and Noble Lady Xin were already there, she was slightly taken aback at first, then exchanged a smile with them.
They nodded to each other knowingly.
Fucha Peiyun looked at the group of people in front of her and solemnly reminded them:
"Now that all of you sisters are pregnant, you must be extra careful during this period."
Although the Empress is currently under house arrest, given her temperament, she certainly won't let this go so easily.
Consort Jing agreed wholeheartedly, saying, "What you say is absolutely right, sister. We really must take more precautions."
Consort Xin turned to look at Cao Qinmo beside her and said with some envy:
"Sister Cao, you're all right. With Consort Hua protecting you, you'll surely be able to give birth to your child safely."
"I am but a minor noblewoman, and I will likely have to rely heavily on the care and assistance of Consort Shu and Consort Jing in the future."
After saying that, she looked at Fucha Peiyun and Consort Jing with anticipation.
Consort Jing fell silent upon hearing Consort Xin mention Consort Hua.
It's unclear whether the Emperor still fears Consort Hua and therefore doesn't want Cao Qinmo to have a child.
Fucha Peiyun, however, was not worried, not to mention that Cao Qinmo's first child was a daughter.
Even if Cao Qinmo's child is a son, Fucha Peiyun has a way to keep the baby.
Cao Qinmo was naturally not worried; she had complete trust in her master.
Since her master has allowed her to become pregnant again, she will definitely keep the baby.
Fucha Peiyun looked at Consort Xin
"Sister Xin, in my opinion, perhaps we should wait a while longer."
You personally go to the Emperor to request that a skilled nanny be sent to serve you.
While this approach doesn't guarantee absolute safety, it will allow you to avoid many schemes.
Upon hearing this, Consort Xin's eyes lit up, and she immediately clapped her hands excitedly, saying in a sweet voice:
"Your Majesty is absolutely right! This is indeed a wonderful idea."
Consort Jing, standing to the side, was also moved. After a moment's thought, she softly echoed:
"Yes, that's true."
"That's excellent. I suppose I should ask His Majesty for one as well."
Cao Qinmo nodded slightly in agreement, and then said:
"If that's the case, then I should also ask for one."
Fucha Peiyun smiled and nodded, indicating that she agreed with everyone's idea.
Consort Jing, Consort Jin, and Noble Lady Xin all enjoyed visiting Yanxi Palace after becoming pregnant.
Upon seeing this, Nian Shilan complained to Songzhi that Consort Shu only associated with them.
However, she wasn't too bored these days, as Consort Fang and Consort Chun would occasionally visit her Lingkun Palace.
Consort Chun stayed in Lingkun Palace and refused to leave, saying she wanted to accompany Nian Shilan.
Actually, she couldn't bear to part with the crab meat pastries and other delicious cakes in her palace.
And so, the harem returned to a rare period of peace.
But a few days later, a major event occurred in the imperial court, causing turmoil in the harem once again.
Longkodo's son, Yue Xing'a, filed a lawsuit against Amma Longkodo in the court.
He favored his concubine over his wife, indulging his concubine Li Si'er.
He cruelly murdered his first wife, turning her into a human pig.
Of course, these are all minor matters compared to the major issues of the nation.
But what Yue Xing'a said next truly shook the court.
He even exposed Longkodo's factionalism, corruption, and bribery.
Yue Xing'a's words were like a thunderclap in the court. The officials looked at each other in shock.
Most people have heard about Longkodo's affairs to some extent.
However, Longkodo had initially gained the emperor's deep trust due to his role in supporting the emperor's ascension.
He was not only the Prime Minister but also inherited the title of First-Class Duke and was appointed Minister of Personnel.
It can be said that he was at the pinnacle of his power.
Who in the court would dare to be so audacious as to impeach Longkodo?
I never expected to be impeached by my own son today, even though it's a case of putting righteousness before family.
But that would be extremely unfilial.
Longkodo was completely stunned, never expecting to be sued by his son.
The fat orange cat sat on the dragon throne, his face terribly gloomy.
Now, both Yao and Longkodo are his biggest threats.
He had long harbored murderous intent towards these two, especially since Longkodo had an ambiguous relationship with the Empress Dowager.
That was something that made him feel like he had a fishbone stuck in his throat, and now Yue Xing'a's lawsuit was exactly what he wanted.
Big Fat Orange originally planned to get rid of Nian Gengyao first, and then find a way to eliminate Longkodo.
But now it seems we can change things up.
The chubby orange cat squinted at Yue Xing'a below, and after a long while, it slowly spoke:
Do you know what you mean by what you're saying?
Yue Xing'a prostrated himself on the ground, his voice firm:
"Your Majesty, I understand, but if I do not report this, it would be against all reason."
The emperor snorted coldly and turned to look at Longkodo: "Longkodo, do you have anything to say?"
Longkodo's face was ashen. He pointed at Yue Xing'a and cursed, "You unfilial son, why do you slander your father!"
Yue Xing'a raised his head, his eyes filled with grief and indignation: "Father, do you still want to deny the crimes you have committed?"
"I vividly remember my mother's tragic fate, and the evidence of your tyrannical rule in court is irrefutable."
The court was silent, with only Longkodo's heavy breathing audible.
"Do you have any evidence for these things?" said the chubby orange cat.
Yue Xing'a took out an account book from his bosom and held it above his head.
"This servant has not been favored or valued by Father over the years, so this account book is not comprehensive."
But what's recorded in this ledger is already shocking.
Su Peisheng walked down and took the account book from Yue Xing'a's hand.
The account book was presented to the Emperor, and the chubby orange cat opened it and examined it carefully.
The document was filled with detailed records of the dates, reasons, and amounts of bribes Longkodo accepted.
There were also his various methods of forming cliques for personal gain and suppressing dissent.
Each page seemed to be a list of Longkodo's crimes.
As time went on, the fat orange's face grew increasingly gloomy, as if a storm was about to break.
Finally, the chubby orange cat could no longer suppress its anger.
He slammed the ledger in his hand down in front of Longkodo and roared:
"Longkodo, now that things have come to this, what do you have to say?"
Upon hearing this, Longkodo, who had still harbored a sliver of hope, collapsed to the ground as if struck by lightning.
Because he knew very well that at this moment, his situation was hopeless and there was no way to reverse it.
Yue Xing'a kowtowed again and said, "Your Majesty, this servant knows that it is a great treason for a son to betray his father."
But I do not want to see my father make one mistake after another, and I cannot bear to see the court corrupted by parasites.
Even if I bear eternal infamy, I, the lackey, will have no regrets!
After a moment of silence, the chubby orange tree said, "Yue Xing, although you have betrayed your father, I remember your loyalty to the country."
I will spare you from punishment for your great disrespect for now.
As for Longkodo, he was dismissed from his post, his property confiscated, and he was imprisoned to await trial.
After a moment of silence, the chubby orange said:
"Yue Xing'a, although you have told your father..."
However, considering your loyalty to the country, I will temporarily refrain from punishing you for your great disrespect.
As for Longkodo, he was dismissed from his post, his property confiscated, and he was imprisoned to await trial.
Longkodo closed his eyes in despair and was dragged away by the guards.
Yue Xing'a exhaled a deep breath, as if a huge weight had been lifted from his heart.
For so many years, he has silently endured it.
Watching his mother suffer was an unbearable torment that nearly drove him mad.
He had long wanted revenge, but his mother advised him to endure it and wait.
If it weren't for Li Si'er becoming increasingly outrageous, causing his wives and concubines to miscarry several times...
The two sons she had finally given birth to were murdered.
He didn't have the courage to stand up and sue his biological father, nor did he have the ability to collect so much evidence.
Regardless of who's behind this, he should thank him.
Now he has finally avenged his mother and his children, and fulfilled his duty as a subject.
As for the Tong family, nothing can be established without destruction; Yue Xing'a has eliminated a major threat to the Emperor.
The Emperor will not forget him.
