Chapter 41: Of course I will do it

Fucha is a Manchu surname and one of the eight major surnames. As the oldest surname of the Manchus, the Fucha clan has been related to the royal family for generations. In other words, no matter who becomes the emperor, there must be a Fucha woman among the emperor's concubines.

"Okay, Su Peisheng, let's go to Yanxi Palace."

Su Peisheng threw the whisk over his arm and said, "Set up a battle in Yanxi Palace."

"Your Majesty, the Emperor was originally going to come to our Yikun Palace, but the Empress instigated him to change his name and go to Noble Lady Fucha." Songzhi sent someone to inquire about the Emperor's movements, only to find out that the Empress had once again intercepted her own mistress, Concubine Hua.

Hua Fei looked at the table full of food and waved her hand, "Then clear away all the food."

Songzhi complained, "This Queen is really abominable. She always deliberately goes against you."

Hua Fei said indifferently, "There are some things that she can't get even if she schemes hard."

For example, the Queen never received the Emperor's favor from beginning to end.

For several days, the Empress and the Queen Mother asked the Emperor to turn over the cards. Concubine Hua also had no chance to see the Emperor.

She originally thought that if the emperor did not come to Yikun Palace, he would go to Suiyuxuan. After all, the emperor would always miss Zhen Huan because of her face.

But what Hua Fei didn't expect was that the emperor didn't even go to Sui Yuxuan.

After careful inquiries, I found out that the Queen said that Zhen Huan was ill and was afraid that the illness would be passed on to Zhen Huan, so she didn't let the Emperor go to destroy Yuxuan.

Concubine Hua sneered, thinking that the Queen was just afraid that Zhen Huan would gain favor.

Since the Queen doesn't want Zhen Huan to be favored, then Concubine Hua wants Zhen Huan to be favored by the Emperor.

On the second day, after paying her respects to the Queen, Concubine Hua went to Sui Yuxuan to see Zhen Huan.

Zhen Huan was reading in the yard. When she heard Concubine Hua coming, she hurried to greet her.

"Greetings to Her Majesty Hua Fei."

"My sister is not feeling well, please get up."

Concubine Hua stepped forward and helped Zhen Huan up.

Zhen Huan was somewhat surprised that the always proud and arrogant Concubine Hua would treat her so politely. She hurriedly ushered Concubine Hua into the room and sat down.

"I am not fully recovered from my illness. I am really afraid that I may pass my illness on to Your Majesty."

Hua Fei smiled and said, "I am light and healthy, so I am not afraid. But my sister has been ill for a long time. Why is she not getting better?"

Zhen Huan said, "As the saying goes, illness comes like a mountain falling, and goes away like a thread being pulled out. It will take at least another half month."

Hua Fei was worried, "Since my sister was ill, the emperor has been thinking about her all the time. The emperor always said that my sister is the one who understands him the most. If my sister gets better soon, it will also ease the emperor's longing for her."

Zhen Huan said modestly, "Your Majesty, you are joking. The relationship between you and the Emperor over the years is something I cannot compare to."

The two were chatting when Xiao Yunzi rushed in.

Jin Xi scolded, "You are so impatient. Can't you see that Concubine Hua is here?"

Xiao Yunzi quickly bowed and apologized, "Madam Hua, please forgive me, please forgive me!"

Hua Fei curled her lips and smiled, "It's okay, get up."

Xiao Yunzi straightened up, and the red slap mark on his face was seen by everyone present.

Zhen Huan frowned, "Xiao Yunzi, what's wrong with your face?"

Xiao Yunzi covered her face and whispered, "On the way back just now, I accidentally bumped into Noble Lady Fucha, and she slapped me ten times."

Jin Xi was surprised. They say that one should look at the owner before beating a dog. This noble lady Fucha deliberately slapped Xiao Yunzi ten times, which was equivalent to slapping Zhen Huan in the face.

Jinxi looked at Zhen Huan, and Zhen Huan's face looked very ugly.

Ever since Zhen Huan fell ill, the servants in the palace have dared to give her orders, let alone Xiao Yunzi, Jinxi and the others?

"It's my fault. I failed to protect you." Zhen Huan looked at Xiao Yunzi apologetically.

Xiao Yunzi's brother was ill before, and Zhen Huan asked Doctor Wen to cure him. Therefore, Xiao Yunzi has always been grateful to Zhen Huan.

"My lady, please don't say that. It's not your fault. It's just that those people are too bullying!" Xiao Yunzi comforted Zhen Huan.

Zhen Huan smiled bitterly, her eyes passing over Jin Xi, Xiao Yun Zi, Liu Zhu, and Huan Bi, "Even if you don't tell me, I know that you have had a very hard time during this period. From now on, I will not let you live like this again."

When Concubine Hua saw that Zhen Huan had figured it out, she felt relieved.

"This noble lady Fucha has been quite favored by the emperor in recent days, yet she dares to be so presumptuous. I will teach her a lesson on behalf of my sister!" Concubine Hua stood up for Zhen Huan.

Zhen Huan said: "I appreciate your kindness, Madam. But after all, I am only a maid, and she is a noble lady..."

Seeing Zhen Huan feeling lost, Concubine Hua comforted her softly, "I'm not trying to flatter you. With your beauty and talent, if you put in a little more effort, the Emperor will surely look upon you with favor. You still have a long way to go in the harem. Do you want to live like this forever?"

Having said that, Concubine Hua did not say anything else.

After chatting for a few more words, Concubine Hua left.

After Concubine Hua left, Jin Xi cautiously tested Zhen Huan, "My lady, what are your plans for the future?"

Zhen Huan raised her arms and looked towards the sky, "Go call Doctor Wen over."

Imperial Doctor Wen had just finished a consultation somewhere else, and when he heard that Zhen Huan asked him to check Ping An's pulse, he rushed over without stopping.

After sending everyone else away, Zhen Huan revealed the truth to Doctor Wen.

"Recently, when I was ill, I realized that even if I didn't fight, I couldn't live in peace, and I might even die a more miserable death. That day, when you talked about the grudge between Concubine Duan and Concubine Hua, I was worried that my child would be difficult to give birth to, so I thought about simply not accepting the emperor's grace, and then there would be no such troubles. But I never thought that even if I hid in this remote Suiyuxuan, those people would still not let me go."

Wen Shichu knelt on the ground in an orderly manner, raised his head and asked, "What are your plans, young master?"

Zhen Huan smiled bitterly, "Since I can't survive if I don't fight, I will fight for it. I also ask Doctor Wen to adjust the prescription for me so that I can get better faster."

Wen Shichu lowered his head and remained silent for a while, struggling internally.

Although he knew that Zhen Huan was already the emperor's woman and it was her job to serve and please the emperor, he still felt a little uncomfortable.

But the silence lasted for a while, and Wen Shichu finally agreed.

"Then I will give you a new prescription so that you can get better faster."

"Thank you for your hard work, Doctor Wen."

Knowing that Zhen Huan was trying to win favor, Concubine Hua slept much more soundly these past few days.

She knew that with Zhen Huan's methods, it was only a matter of time before she could firmly grasp the emperor's heart.

However, she still felt a little uneasy when she thought about her brother going on a long journey.

The emperor finally had time to come and see Concubine Hua, and Concubine Hua took the opportunity to tell him that she wanted to see her brother Nian Gengyao off.

The emperor immediately became alert, but remained calm on the surface. "If you want to see your brother off, I will certainly fulfill your wish."
