Chapter 224: The Legend of Zhen Huan - Poria 24
Xuerong and Xuechu carefully supported Fuling as she walked forward.
When the crowd gradually dispersed, Xue Rong asked softly, "My Lady, have you noticed anything?"
Xuerong has always been careful and calm, but Fuling's look made her suspicious.
Fuling whispered.
"Xue Rong, have Jiang Yan quietly check the sedan chair, especially the poles. When my armor hit it earlier, there was an unusual sound, as if there was an echo."
"Be careful. No matter what you find, don't alert them. I'm about to give birth. If this news gets out, it will be bad for us. If they know I'm alert, their methods will be more covert and cruel."
"I understand. Please ask Eunuch Jiang to handle it immediately."
After Xue Rong finished speaking, he glanced at Xue Chu and thought to himself, this girl is always slow to react, maybe I should buy her some brain supplements.
Xue Chu shrugged her nose. Although she didn't understand what was going on, she would do whatever the Empress and Xue Rong said. They were the ones who had to do the thinking.
"My lady, Eunuch Jiang is here."
Fuling was sitting on the couch, leaning against a soft pillow, gently holding a piece of cake in her hand, looking quite relaxed.
As soon as Jiang Yan entered the room, he saw her looking peaceful and calm, and he couldn't help but feel relieved.
"Fortunately, the queen is fine."
He secretly felt fortunate because he was so frightened when he heard the news about Xue Rong that he almost passed out.
"Ah Yan, what did you find out?"
When Fuling saw Jiang Yan, she asked directly,
Xuechu and Xuerong also looked curious.
"Sister, I checked it carefully seven or eight times before I discovered the problem with the sedan chair pole."
Jiang Yan looked solemn.
"I knocked on it with my hands and found that there was a hole drilled at the joint between the pole and the body of the sedan. When I took it off, I saw that the inside was hollowed out."
"This skill is not something that ordinary people can do. If my sister had come back in a sedan chair, the pole would have definitely broken on the way."
Xuerong was filled with anger after hearing this.
"What a vicious idea! If the queen is sitting in the sedan chair and the pole breaks, won't the queen fall? The queen is heavy now, if she falls, the consequences will be disastrous!"
Xue Chu was also very angry. She thought that if Fuling fell in her current condition, she would have premature birth.
I was afraid that it would be a tragedy with two lives lost, and I couldn't help but feel a sense of fear in my heart.
She looked frightened.
"Fortunately, your majesty discovered something was wrong, otherwise it would have been a disaster."
"It's probably because I didn't get caught by the previous tactics, and now that I'm about to give birth, they're getting anxious."
"They will use more tricks next time. We must be extremely vigilant and not let them succeed."
"Yes, the servants must be more careful and protect the queen."
Jiang Yan, Xue Rong and others responded in unison. They knew that Fuling was in danger at the moment and had to be more cautious.
Fuling thought to herself that the person who poured the oil was Qi Yuebin, and the incident with the sedan chair was done by Yixiu. She felt both surprised and relieved.
She could understand Yi Xiu, but as for Qi Yuebin, she had no grudge against her, right?
It took Fuling a while to remember that she had personally exposed her lies, which led to her demotion. Qi Yuebin's move was undoubtedly out of revenge.
"She not only vented her anger, but also got a child. She is really vicious."
Fuling sighed in her heart, but at the same time she couldn't help but feel curious.
Speaking of which, why hasn't Nian Shilan taken action against Qi Yuebin yet? She has always been swift and decisive, so why is she taking so long this time?
Could it be that she was so obsessed with her resentment about not being able to have children that she forgot about her hatred?
Fuling waved her hand, signaling them to leave, leaving only Jiang Yan.
She looked at Jiang Yan and asked softly.
"Ah Yan, do you think Concubine Hua has forgotten her hatred?"
Jiang Yan understood it clearly. He took Fuling's hand, kissed her fingertips lightly, and spoke gently.
"How can I forget the revenge for my son's murder? It's just that the time has not come yet, Madam Hua Fei. Or maybe she is waiting for a more appropriate time."
As time went by, Fuling's due date was getting closer.
Jiang Yan, Xue Rong and others managed Chengqian Palace like an iron barrel to ensure Fuling's safety.
However, in this peaceful day, something suddenly happened, causing a huge uproar.
Yinzhen suddenly announced that Fucha Yixin would be promoted to the position of concubine, and this move surprised everyone.
Fu Cha Yi Xin has never been favored, and this sudden promotion has caused everyone to speculate.
Could it be that she was pregnant with a boy that made Yinzhen so happy and gave her such a reward?
For a time, all kinds of speculations and discussions spread in the palace.
Yixiu saw that Fuling was not fooled and realized her cleverness.
After much thought, Zhen Huan burned moxa to protect the fetus, and An Lingrong was also resting in bed, so the most urgent person at the moment must be Fu Cha Yi Xin.
She knew very well that once Fu Cha Yi Xin gave birth to a child, she would be promoted to concubine.
Then the Manchu nobles of the previous dynasty, especially the Fucha family, would definitely have some doubts.
Sooner or later, one's position will be threatened.
"It seems that we have to deal with her first."
Yixiu was thinking in her mind.
The concubines in the harem were already jealous of Fu Cha Yi Xin, who became pregnant after just a few days of love. Now they were even more jealous.
Li Jingyan felt mixed emotions, with jealousy and worry intertwined.
"What can we do now, Queen?"
Concubine Qi swallowed the words she had not yet finished speaking.
His own Third Prince was always scolded by the Emperor, and now there was another child who was favored. This was really not good.
Yixiu still looked like a bodhisattva, and she spoke lightly.
"Noble Lady Fucha always complains about the unborn baby, and the Emperor only does this to comfort her. For the sake of the royal heir, I will not have any objection."
After hearing what the queen said, naturally, no one else could say anything more.
Although Li Jingyan looked worried, he could only retreat silently.
After Noble Lady Fucha was promoted, she became even more arrogant and asked Yinzhen to leave the palace of other concubines several times.
Seeing how arrogant she was, the palace maids and concubines began to slander and talk about her behind her back more and more.
"Even if Noble Lady Fucha is not feeling well, she shouldn't be so inconsiderate. Even if she doesn't care about other people's feelings, she should still consider that the Emperor needs to get up early and attend the court. She shouldn't be running around like this so late at night."
After hearing these words, Yixiu curled up the corners of her mouth into a barely perceptible smile.
She said directly, "In this case, find someone to teach her the truth. Concubine Qi, you have a gentle personality, so you can explain it to her slowly."
She also gave Li Jingyan careful instructions.
"She is pregnant. The emperor values the prince in her belly very much. I'm afraid he values her more than the third prince. Please don't say harsh words."
Li Jingyan must have wished he could just stab Fu Cha Yixin with a knife after hearing this.
Li Jingyan left in a trance, and just as he reached the oleander forest, he heard the palace maids whispering.
"The juice of this flower is poisonous. How can you put it in your mouth?"
This is a scene in which the speaker has intention and the listener also has feelings.
So that night something happened to Noble Lady Fucha.
