"Boom boom boom!"
Cuiguo followed her master's request, went to the tightly closed door and knocked on the doorknob.
As the voice spread, Concubine Qi, who was standing not far away, shrank unconsciously.
It was already late at night and there was no one around. With the cold wind blowing, Concubine Qi felt an inexplicable sense of uneasiness in her heart.
"This damn place is really torturous!"
Concubine Qi muttered something, wanting to finish the job quickly, so she urged Cuiguo, "Hurry up and call the people inside out! Don't drag it out!"
Although it was her own decision to come here, at this moment, Concubine Qi had already begun to regret it.
If she had known that Jiaolu Pavilion would be so scary at night, she would have chosen to come here in broad daylight!
"Yes!"
Faced with Concubine Qi's urging, Cuiguo had no choice but to knock on the door and shout, "Is anyone here? Concubine Qi is here! Hurry up and come out to greet her!"
Cuiguo was also very panicked and her voice unconsciously became louder.
If it were before, Concubine Qi might have blamed Cuiguo for making a fuss and attracting attention.
But at this time, Concubine Qi had already thrown out the idea of not wanting to attract attention.
Perhaps the people inside heard the noise outside, and after a while, the palace door that was originally tightly closed was opened from the inside.
"It turns out that Concubine Qi is here."
After taking a look through the crack in the door and confirming the identity of the person, the palace maid opened the door and saluted to Concubine Qi with an expressionless face, "Good luck to Concubine Qi."
Cuiguo knew this palace maid and knew that her name was Sang'er. When Fucha was still a noble lady, Sang'er was her most trusted person.
But Cuiguo didn't expect that after Fucha fell into poverty, Sang'er would still be so loyal and accompany her all the way here.
However, Cuiguo’s thoughts were too “well-intentioned”.
Sang'er was once called "the smartest girl in the palace" by Noble Lady Fucha, and she certainly deserved this praise.
After Noble Lady Fucha got into trouble, Sang'er saw that the situation was not good and wanted to run away as soon as possible.
However, the Queen was determined to suppress Noble Lady Fucha at that time, and naturally would not allow any mishap to happen.
Because of this, Sonny didn't run away in the end.
"What's going on?"
Concubine Qi had also walked over at this time, and when she saw Sang'er greeting her, she couldn't help but frowned.
Unlike Cuiguo, she did not have a good memory, so naturally she could not remember the name of a palace maid. She just vaguely felt that Sang'er looked familiar, as if she had seen her beside Fucha before, and should have been serving her since early morning.
Having said that, the lifeless look on Sang'er's face made Concubine Qi more and more nervous.
She felt that this palace was simply not acceptable. Not only was it located in a remote area, it also gave off a desolate and dilapidated feeling.
On second thought, although Fu Cha's position was not abolished, it was equivalent to being "banished to the cold palace". After falling to this point, how could she get any good treatment?
"Are you here to visit our young master, Madam?"
While Concubine Qi was thinking about it, Sang'er saw at a glance the purpose of Concubine Qi and the other person's visit and asked.
"Ah."
Concubine Qi was brought back to her senses by Sang'er's words. She nodded slightly and asked, "Where is Fucha?"
Although she was demoted to a concubine, she was still a lady in the palace after all. When she saw me coming, Fucha didn't even come out to greet me. Was she trying to show off?
As if he had sensed Concubine Qi's dissatisfaction, Sang'er replied in a serious tone, "You don't know, Concubine Qi, but my young mistress needs to take the tranquilizer prescribed by the imperial physician every day, so she is often sleepy and is only awake for about two hours a day."
"what?"
Ever since the other party got into trouble, Concubine Qi has not taken the initiative to pay attention to the situation on Fucha's side.
Now, hearing what Sang'er said, she was stunned where she was.
Cuiguo saw Concubine Qi standing there in a daze, so she asked, "So is Lady Fucha awake now?"
Cuiguo still remembered the purpose of their visit. In addition to giving gifts and visiting, Concubine Qi had other "important matters".
That was a task ordered by the Queen Mother. If it could not be completed, Concubine Qi would naturally not be able to report to the Queen Mother.
But the prerequisite for completing this task is that Fucha must be awake. Otherwise, could Concubine Qi still enter her dreams and talk in her sleep?
"Your Highness, you came at a good time. My young mistress has already woken up."
While saying that Fu Cha was in a conscious state, Sang'er smiled slightly, which, combined with the surrounding scene, gave people an inexplicably creepy feeling.
"Does that mean I should ask her to come out?"
Hearing that Fucha was fine, Concubine Qi breathed a sigh of relief from the bottom of her heart.
The last thought was that the other party was clearly awake but deliberately did not come to greet him, and he suddenly felt very angry.
"My young lady stopped taking the medicine two days ago, so she still has restless reactions occasionally. I hope Your Majesty can forgive her for not being able to welcome her."
Sang'er knelt silently on the ground and kowtowed to Concubine Qi, as if he wanted to apologize on behalf of his master.
Concubine Qi was about to get angry, but after hearing what Sang'er said, although her brows were tightly furrowed, the words circled around her lips for a few times, and in the end she did not say anything blaming.
"That's all, that's all!"
Concubine Qi sighed, then signaled Sang'er to lead the way so that she could go in and meet Fucha.
"Yes."
This time, Sang'er did not delay at all, but nodded and signaled Concubine Qi to follow him.
"My lady, please watch your step!"
Cuiguo had already put aside the large and small bags in her hands when she entered the yard, and now she could support Concubine Qi.
Concubine Qi did not say anything, but instead focused all her attention on the environment she was in.
"My lady, Concubine Qi is here to see you."
Sonny brought the man into the house and said this to a figure lying on the bed.
The room was very simply furnished, with no unnecessary decorations other than the most basic furniture.
Now that night had fallen, the only light available was a small oil lamp.
The dim light was the only source of light in the room, and it seemed even weaker in the surrounding darkness.
As the door opened, cold wind blew into the house, causing the oil lamp to shake even more.
Under the flickering firelight, Concubine Qi saw Fu Cha, who was lying face down, slowly turn around and then sit up.
"Qi Fei - Sister? Haha, you are finally here!"
Although Fu Cha was not unkempt, she was still a far cry from her former glory.
Turning around, Fucha said this at the same time as she looked at Concubine Qi.
The gloomy tone made Concubine Qi's heart tremble with fear. She almost used all her strength to restrain herself from screaming on the spot.
Fortunately, she still remembered the Queen's instructions, and immediately signaled Cuiguo to get Sang'er out first, and then accompany her to talk to Fucha.
