Chapter 53 Consort Fucha Escapes
Chapter 53 Consort Fucha Escapes
When Nian Shilan saw the big fat orange, the smile on her face vanished instantly.
Instead, there was an undisguised look of disgust.
It's as if the big, fat orange is something utterly repulsive.
She quickly withdrew her hand from Fucha Peiyun's stomach.
And subconsciously, he took a small step back.
She looked as if she wanted to increase the distance between herself and the big, fat orange cat as much as possible, wishing she could disappear from his sight immediately.
However, the chubby orange cat was completely oblivious to this and continued to walk briskly towards them with a big smile on its face.
Upon seeing this, Fucha Peiyun and Cao Qinmo quickly exchanged a glance before respectfully preparing to bow and pay their respects.
Cao Qinmo was extremely anxious and kept giving Nian Shilan meaningful glances, signaling her to quickly perform the proper etiquette.
Nian Shilan reluctantly moved her feet and bowed to the big fat orange.
Just then, the big, fat orange cat strode forward, stretching out its hands.
A hand gently helped the heavily pregnant Fucha Peiyun up.
With his other hand, he firmly supported Nian Shilan, while simultaneously speaking up to stop her:
"No need for formalities, Consort Cao!"
As he spoke, his gaze fell on Nian Shilan, and he asked with concern:
"Shilan, is your injury any better? I've been thinking of you these past few days."
Big Fat Orange looked at Nian Shilan with concern, his eyes full of tenderness.
However, at this moment, Nian Shilan felt nothing but disgust.
She simply couldn't understand why she had ever fallen for such an ugly and old man.
However, no matter how unwilling she was, Nian Shilan knew very well that the person in front of her was, after all, the emperor.
Even if you don't like him, you can't show it too much.
So she suppressed her displeasure.
With a blank expression, he took Princess Wenyi from Cao Qinmo's arms.
Then, without hesitation, he shoved the child into the arms of the chubby orange cat.
Big Fatty Orange, holding Princess Wenyi, was taken aback at first, then laughed and asked, "What does Shilan mean by this?"
Nian Shilan said in a sarcastic tone:
"His Majesty has not seen the little princess for a long time; he must miss her dearly."
"I think it would be good for Your Majesty to hold the little princess more often."
Upon hearing this, the chubby orange didn't delve any further and began teasing Princess Wenyi.
Taking the opportunity, Nian Shilan quietly surveyed her surroundings, pondering how to find an excuse to avoid this annoying old emperor.
It is said that Nian Shilan was once quite favored, but if the old emperor goes to Lingkun Palace with her later, it will be troublesome.
Fucha Peiyun, standing to the side, immediately realized that the big, fat orange cat was clearly after Nian Shilan.
In truth, Fucha Peiyun herself wasn't particularly willing to deal with this big, fat orange cat, so a thought struck her...
Deciding to take this opportunity to say goodbye, she curtsied slightly and said softly:
"Your Majesty, I have been out for quite some time now. Perhaps it is because I have been outside for too long..."
Right now I just feel a little unwell.
"This concubine wishes to take her leave now; I beg Your Majesty's forgiveness."
After saying this, Fucha Peiyun gently touched her swollen belly.
Then, pretending to struggle a bit, she supported her slender waist.
Upon hearing this, Nian Shilan, who was standing to the side, immediately changed her expression and glared fiercely at Fucha Peiyun.
His eyes revealed a hint of resentment and anger, as if to say, "How could you be so disloyal?"
Facing Nian Shilan's sharp gaze, Fucha Peiyun seemed oblivious, secretly pondering to herself:
"Hehe, as the saying goes, it's better to die than to lose a teammate!"
Upon hearing what Fucha Peiyun said, the chubby orange cat couldn't help but show a look of concern on its face.
He hurriedly asked, "Since Consort Shu is unwell, should we summon an imperial physician to take a good look at her? Su Peisheng..."
However, before he could finish speaking, Fucha Peiyun quickly interrupted him:
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. However, I am fine, just a little back pain."
"I imagine she just needs to return to the palace and rest properly to recover."
Big Fat Orange breathed a sigh of relief and said, "In that case, Consort Shu, you should go back and rest early."
"I order Su Peisheng to escort you back to Yanxi Palace."
"Your Majesty, I thank you. I will take my leave now."
Fucha Peiyun curtsied and slowly withdrew, a barely perceptible smile playing on her lips.
Upon seeing this, Nian Shilan's eyes lit up. "I've been out for so long, and I'm feeling a bit dizzy. I'll take my leave now."
Before she could finish speaking, she quickly curtsied without waiting for a response from the large, chubby orange cat.
Then, at a pace quite different from usual, he hurriedly left the place.
Songzhi and the others who came with Nian Shilan were taken aback when they saw their master leaving in such a hurry, but they quickly came to their senses.
They dared not be negligent in the slightest, and all bowed to the large, fat orange, shouting in unison:
"We take our leave!" Immediately afterwards, the group hurriedly chased after their mistress.
In the blink of an eye, only Cao Qinmo and the chubby orange cat holding Wen Yi remained on the spot.
Big Fat Orange felt very disappointed seeing Nian Shilan avoiding him like the plague.
Well, it's not fair to blame her for that.
Seeing this, Cao Qinmo quickly stepped forward to comfort the chubby orange, "Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine has lost her memory, so it's understandable that she's having trouble adjusting."
Perhaps it will get better in time.
Big Fat Orange nodded slightly, indicating his agreement with Cao Qinmo's words, but his face still couldn't hide his dejection.
"I hope it's really as you say. But every time I see her so distant and indifferent to me now, I feel really bad."
Cao Qinmo thought to herself: Back when the Consort hadn't lost her memory, she would pester you all day long. You probably found it annoying back then!
However, she certainly dared not easily reveal these thoughts, for the sake of her beloved daughter's safety and well-being.
The most important thing right now is to appease the emperor.
So, Cao Qinmo mustered her spirits and continued to comfort her with a smile:
"Your Majesty, please do not worry too much. I believe that everything will get better with time."
As she spoke, she reached out and gently teased Princess Wenyi in the arms of the chubby orange cat, saying softly:
"Come here, Wenyi, my good baby, quickly call out 'Father Emperor' so I can hear it."
Little Wenyi blinked her big, watery eyes and made indistinct sounds:
"Ah...ah...ah..."
Although its pronunciation is not yet clear, its adorable appearance makes people feel affection for it.
On the other side, Nian Shilan caught up with Fucha Peiyun in a few steps, and she glanced at Su Peisheng.
Su Peisheng, quite perceptively, stood a little further away.
Nian Shilan lowered her voice and winked at Fucha Peiyun.
"Don't you like that old emperor either?"
Fucha Peiyun nodded slightly.
Nian Shilan frowned. "I heard that I used to like the old emperor very much, and tried every means to win his favor."
I don't understand; what kind of perspective did I have before?
Fucha Peiyun knew, of course, that it was the power of the plot.
Fucha Peiyun's heart stirred and she said:
"The fact that my sister thinks this way now shows that she has truly forgotten the past."
Being in the imperial harem, we had no choice but to compete for his favor; after all, he was the ruler of the land.
Gaining his favor meant family honor and personal security.
"There's nothing we can do about women nowadays depending on men for survival."
Nian Shilan snorted coldly:
"Hmph, what ruler of the world? He's nothing but an arrogant and heartless man."
Now I just want to live for myself, I don't care about any favors.
Fucha Peiyun's eyes lit up:
"Sister is absolutely right. After all, you still have your family backing you, and you're already a Noble Consort."
There's no need to care too much about favors bestowed upon you.
Nian Shilan frowned. "That's not enough."
After saying that, Nian Shilan looked at Fucha Peiyun's belly and asked, "Is it a boy or a girl in your belly?"
Fucha Peiyun asked, "What if it's a boy? What if it's a girl?"
Nian Shilan lowered her voice again, "You haven't thought about that position?"
Fucha Peiyun replied, "Yes, I do."
Nian Shilan: "Then what about you?"
Fucha Peiyun said, "As long as I want, there is no difference between boys and girls."
Nian Shilan gave a thumbs up and said, "Then I'll be counting on you from now on."
Fucha Peiyun: "You trust me that much?"
The orchid "Nature"
Fucha Peiyun whispered a few words in her ear.
Nian Shilan nodded. "Do as you say."
Nian Shilan said worriedly, "What if the old emperor keeps coming to find me?"
Fucha Peiyun suggested, "Why don't you pick a few beautiful and charming palace maids and put them in your palace?"
Nian Shilan said, "That's not good. It will make my palace a mess."
Fucha Peiyun's eyes darted around, and she lowered her voice to say to Nian Shilan:
"Why don't you get pregnant? That way, we can do a little something different later."
Tell them that you accidentally injured your body during your pregnancy and are no longer able to serve the emperor.
Upon hearing this, Nian Shilan waved her hands repeatedly, her face showing fear, and replied coquettishly:
"No, no! I am in the prime of my youth and have no desire to have a baby."
Besides, I don't want that old guy touching me again! Just thinking about his face makes me feel disgusted.
Fucha Peiyun frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then advised:
"Since you are unwilling to do this, then you should try to avoid him for the time being."
If you just get through these next few days, he won't care about you anymore.
After hearing this, Nian Shilan, though still somewhat unwilling, knew that there seemed to be no better solution at the moment.
He could only reluctantly reply:
"Alright then, that's all we can do for now. Hopefully, this will pass quickly."
After they had said what they needed to say, they chatted casually about some trivial matters before parting ways.
As Nian Shilan's figure gradually receded into the distance and disappeared from sight,
Su Peisheng quietly walked behind Fucha Peiyun.
Without turning her head, Fucha Peiyun softly instructed:
"Those in the Cold Palace can come out now."
Su Peisheng quickly bowed and replied:
"This servant understands and will certainly arrange this matter properly. Please rest assured, Your Highness."
Fucha Peiyun nodded, then asked, "How is Consort Duan doing?"
A sly glint flashed in Su Peisheng's eyes as he replied in a low voice:
"Your Majesty, the Emperor has already made his move, and it is estimated to be within the next two days."
Fucha Peiyun's lips curled up slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile, and she nodded in satisfaction.
Consort Duan is a venomous snake that is often impossible to guard against; it's best to take her offline as soon as possible.
