Chapter 168: Concubine Hua is poisoned

When Wen Shichu saw that Concubine Hua had made up her mind, he stopped trying to persuade her and prescribed her several doses of pregnancy-preserving medicine before leaving Yikun Palace.

After Concubine Hua became pregnant, the Emperor came to visit her more often.

Seeing the pot of snake plant in her bedroom, I asked casually.

"Do you also like to grow these plants in the house?"

Concubine Hua glanced at the tiger skin orchid and said with a smile, "I don't really understand this. This was given to me by Noble Lady Fucha, who said it can calm the mind."

After hearing this, the emperor nodded with satisfaction.

"This noble lady Fucha is really thoughtful."

Hua Fei smiled and said, "I did. Ever since I placed the tiger skin plant next to my bed, I have been sleeping till noon."

"Then this Sansevieria is a good thing!" The emperor was happy when he heard that Sansevieria could help Concubine Hua sleep peacefully.

Hua Fei said: "This is all thanks to the Queen's teachings to Noble Lady Fucha."

The emperor couldn't help but be curious.

"how do I say this?"

Concubine Hua looked at Songzhi, and Songzhi stood up and saluted the emperor.

"That day, after Noble Lady Fucha went to pay respects to the Queen, she sent some tiger skin orchids to Her Majesty the next day."

The emperor suddenly understood.

"So, this is the Queen's instruction. Is this how Noble Fucha has made such great progress?"

Hua Fei twisted her handkerchief, "Noble Lady Fucha was born in a rich family, and she is usually a bit arrogant. Only someone as kind and wise as the Empress can make her obedient."

The emperor said: "This is also the rare thing about the queen!"

Hua Fei curled her lips slightly, "Yes, so I still have a lot to learn from the Queen."

The emperor held Concubine Hua's hand and looked at her with relief.

"I am very pleased that you have this heart."

After visiting Concubine Hua, the emperor hurried to the Yangxin Palace to handle state affairs.

Zhen Huan had been waiting for him in the Yangxin Palace.

"Hanhuan, I will officially take action within half a year at the latest." The emperor looked at the piles of memorials impeaching Nian Gengyao and made the final decision.

Zhen Huan was grinding ink. When she heard that the emperor was going to deal with Nian Gengyao, she pretended to ask casually, "As for Concubine Hua, how do you plan to deal with her?"

"Hua Fei..." When Hua Fei was mentioned, the emperor put down the memorial, "I haven't made up my mind yet."

Zhen Huan continued to grind the ink, "Your Majesty, Nian Gengyao has done many evil things and will eventually perish, but Concubine Hua treats you sincerely."

The emperor raised his head and looked at Zhen Huan. His eyes were filled with her beautiful face, which looked very elegant and calm under the soft light.

When talking about Concubine Hua, he was very calm and impartial.

"How do you know that Concubine Hua is sincere to me?" the emperor asked Zhen Huan.

Only Hua Fei herself knows whether she is sincere or not.

How could Zhen Huan know this?

"When I was pregnant with the prince, I was in danger all around. It was Concubine Hua who saved me and my child time and time again. I asked Concubine Hua why she tried so hard to protect me. Concubine Hua said that the emperor had few children, and she wanted all his children to be born safely."

"If you didn't have deep feelings for the emperor, why would you save me so many times, even though I have no relationship with Concubine Hua?"

"Besides, my father is just a small official in the Dali Temple."

After hearing what Zhen Huan said, the emperor remained silent.

He knew that the women in the harem were jealous of him every day.

On weekdays, they were all sarcastically aggressive in front of him, and he knew all the ways they were playing tricks on each other.

In the past, the Queen and the concubines had always said bad things about Concubine Hua.

However, at this moment, Zhen Huan said in front of him that Concubine Hua was sincere to her.

The emperor was somewhat moved.

In fact, even if Zhen Huan didn't say it, the emperor knew that Concubine Hua had loved him for so many years.

But as an emperor, how can the emperor give up the overall situation just because of the feelings of a woman?

Therefore, between the overall situation and Concubine Hua, the emperor chose the former.

This time, a similar problem once again appeared before him.

No matter what, he had to remove the thorn in his flesh, Nian Gengyao, which was something Concubine Hua did not want to see.

However, it is impossible for the emperor to not punish Nian Gengyao just because of Concubine Hua.

However, after settling accounts with Nian Gengyao, the emperor had not figured out what to do with Concubine Hua, Nian Gengyao's sister.

After hearing what Zhen Huan said, the Emperor thought about how good Concubine Hua had been to him over the years, and he hesitated for the first time in his life.

"Hua Fei is truly sincere to me." The emperor murmured.

Perhaps because he had already taken action against Nian Gengyao, the emperor was unable to face Concubine Hua, so he locked himself in the Yangxin Palace during this period of time.

Occasionally, he would only ask Zhen Huan to come and keep him company.

Concubine Hua was happy with her freedom and would visit the Empress Dowager every now and then.

The Queen Mother was both happy and scared when she saw her belly growing bigger and bigger.

What made her happy was that she had another grandson; what made her afraid was that she was always worried that Concubine Hua would lose her child.

After all, there is still Ulanara Yixiu in the harem.

"As the months go by, your belly will get bigger, and I won't allow you to walk around like this! Stay well in Yikun Palace, and don't come over to pay your respects!"

The Queen Mother issued an imperial decree directly.

After hearing what the Queen Mother said, Concubine Hua felt a little sad.

"I just want to serve you more, Your Majesty."

The Queen Mother sighed, "I understand your intentions. It won't be too late to come and see me again after you give birth to the little prince safely."

Aunt Zhuxi also advised: "The Queen Mother is right. The Queen Mother knows your filial piety, Concubine Hua! However, you and the little prince in your belly are the most important right now. The Queen Mother is still waiting to hold the emperor's grandson."

Over the past two years, Zhuxi had watched Concubine Hua visit the Empress Dowager from time to time, and she felt truly touched.

Like the Queen Mother, she sincerely hoped that Concubine Hua could give birth to a little prince safely.

When Concubine Hua heard what Aunt Zhuxi and the Queen Mother said, she nodded obediently.

"Then I will be lazy for a while."

The Queen Mother and Zhu Xi looked at each other and smiled with relief.

Although the emperor no longer visited Concubine Hua, he often asked Su Peisheng to deliver things to him.

Seven days later, Su Peisheng hurried into the Yangxin Palace and said anxiously, "Your Majesty, this is bad! Concubine Hua has been in a coma for a whole day and hasn't woken up yet!"

The emperor immediately put down the memorial in his hand and asked, "What's going on?"

Su Peisheng bowed, "I don't know either, I heard that he was poisoned!"

The emperor stood up and hurried towards the Yikun Palace.

As soon as I entered Yikun Palace, I happened to meet Wen Shichu.

"Doctor Wen, go check on Concubine Hua!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Wen Shichu hurriedly walked into the bedroom of Yikun Palace.

At this time, Songzhi came over with a basin of water. Wen Shichu walked with his head down and didn't pay attention. He quickly dodged to the side, but bumped into the wooden cabinet next to him.

A crisp "crash" sound!

The sound of porcelain falling to the ground was heard. Everyone looked and found that the Sansevieria placed in front of Concubine Hua's bed had been knocked over and fell to the ground.

Seeing this, Songzhi quickly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me! Your Majesty, please forgive me!"

The emperor was a little upset, "Get up and clean up quickly."

He looked up at the broken tiger skin plant potted on the ground, and narrowed his eyes slightly: "Wait, what is this!"
