Chapter 143 Consort Fucha is about to give birth.
Chapter 143 Consort Fucha is about to give birth.
Seeing this, Jinxi was afraid that Zhen Huan wouldn't be able to bear it if she learned the truth.
They were also afraid that the deposed empress might go mad and hurt Zhen Huan.
Jinxi said:
"Your Majesty, look at this deposed empress; she is now completely out of her mind, acting like a madwoman."
We'd better leave Jingren Palace as soon as possible.
What if she goes berserk and hurts you?
Zhen Huan gently shook her head.
She's determined to get to the bottom of this today.
For some reason, she had a vague feeling that this matter seemed to conceal an extremely important secret.
If I can't figure this out today, I don't know if I'll ever have the chance again.
Ignoring Jinxi's advice, she slowly took a few steps closer to Ulanara.
When Zhen Huan approached Ulanara...
Ulanara Yixiu suddenly became excited, waving her hands.
"You all deserve to die! Die! Those who stole my things deserve to die!"
Zhen Huan shouted, "Calm down first. Look carefully, I am Zhen Huan, not Rou Ze."
At this moment, Ulanara Yixiu had already lost her mind and was completely unable to tell who the person in front of her was.
She just kept screaming, "Die! Die! You all deserve to die!"
Seeing this, Jinxi advised again:
"Your Majesty, in my humble opinion, this deposed empress has probably truly gone mad."
"Staying here any longer won't get us anywhere; let's go back to Suiyu Pavilion."
Zhen Huan: "Wait a minute!"
Ulanara Yixiu suddenly stared intently at Zhen Huan.
Do you know why the Emperor likes you so much? Do you know why you were immediately promoted to Consort Wan upon entering the palace?
Do you know why you always manage to regain favor even after falling out of favor?
Ulanara Yixiu's voice was cold and sharp, like a sharp sword piercing Zhen Huan's heart.
Zhen Huan suppressed her shock and raised her head.
Without flinching, he looked directly into Ulanara Yixiu's eyes and said in a deep voice:
"why?"
Ulanara Yixiu's lips curled into a cold smile, followed by a chilling laugh:
Hahaha...because of your face,
Zhen Huan! You were born with a face that is extremely similar to Rou Ze's.
The Emperor's favor towards you is nothing more than a way of seeing that vile woman Rouze through you.
Even the title '莞' (Wan) comes from Rouze's childhood nickname—莞莞 (Wanwan).
Zhen Huan felt as if her mind was being struck by lightning.
It turns out that the favors I've received all this time...
All that he had experienced was because of this face that so closely resembled the late empress.
It turns out that all along, Zhen Huan was nothing but a huge joke...
All the favors and love I once thought I had turned out to be nothing but an illusion.
It turns out that Zhen Huan was actually someone else's stand-in from beginning to end.
All that so-called deep affection was because of her face, which looked so much like the late Empress Chun Yuan.
The red walls draped with curtains, and the dragon and phoenix candles are all fake.
None of them were for Zhen Huan.
Ulanara Yixiu looked at Zhen Huan's distraught appearance.
A colder smile curled at the corner of his lips as he mocked:
"Hmph, Zhen Huan, Zhen Huan, do you even know..."
Without this face, how would you be any different from the millions of ordinary women in this harem?
If I had cruelly ruined your beautiful face earlier,
You would probably have been banished to the cold palace long ago, how could you possibly have the chance to be favored by the emperor again and again?
How dare you stand here today and watch me make a fool of myself?
Let me tell you, without this face, you, Zhen Huan, are nothing! Hahahaha!
Hearing Ulanara Yixiu's harsh words
Zhen Huan slowly shook her head, her eyes filled with resentment.
No, absolutely not! Zhen Huan considered herself to be beautiful, talented, and intelligent, a veritable female Zhuge Liang.
Even though she bears absolutely no resemblance to Empress Chun Yuan,
With her talent and strategy, she was confident that she would win the emperor's true favor.
Ulanara Yixiu: "If the wind understands my heart, it will not easily cause harm."
This poem is also one that that vile woman, Rouze, likes.
Also, why did you, Zhen Huan, learn the Jinghong Dance that Rou Ze loved to dance from a young age?
Playing the flute and enjoying poetry and books—these are all things that that vile woman Rouze likes.
Stop pretending! Why are you acting like you know nothing about this?
"Didn't your Zhen family deliberately train you to be a substitute for Rouze and send you into the palace?"
Upon hearing these words, Zhen Huan was struck dumb, her body trembled uncontrollably, and her face grew even paler.
She stared wide-eyed at Ulanara Yixiu in disbelief.
No, impossible, Zhen Huan couldn't believe it.
She, Zhen Huan, is Zhen Huan, not someone else's substitute, but how could it be such a coincidence?
Why are the things she likes so similar to those of Empress Chun Yuan?
Zhen Huan's emotions fluctuated wildly.
Blood vessels gradually spread across her eyes.
Ulanara Yixiu suddenly said again:
"I heard you have a younger sister?"
Upon hearing this, Zhen Huan's heart skipped a beat, and she instantly became alert.
She glared at Ulanara Yixiu with wide eyes and shouted sharply:
Why did you suddenly bring up my sister! What does our feud have to do with her?
"You've already killed Huanbi and her child, are you still not satisfied and insist on extending your poisonous hand to Yu Rao?"
At this point, Zhen Huan's voice trembled slightly with anger and fear.
A moment later, Zhen Huan suddenly remembered Ulanara Yixiu's situation.
She took a deep breath to calm herself down, then said with a cold smile:
"Hmph, you have now been deposed, and Jingren Palace has become a cold palace."
"Given your current situation, what can you do to my sister? You can't possibly harm Yu Rao!"
Ulanara Yixiu, however, let out a ferocious, maniacal laugh:
"Really? Hahahaha..."
Laughter echoed through the empty palace, sending chills down one's spine.
Upon seeing this, Zhen Huan was horrified and hurriedly asked, "What exactly did you do to Yu Rao? Tell me!"
A sinister smile appeared on Ulanara Yixiu's distorted face as she slowly spoke:
Do you think that I am helpless now that I am trapped here?
I had already arranged the fate of your Zhen family long ago.
Haha, Zhen Huan, you're so naive!
I'll be right here waiting to see how tragic your end will be!
I'm afraid your fate won't be any better than mine in the future.
Haha, I'm waiting for you!
Zhen Huan stepped forward and loudly questioned:
"What exactly did you do to Yu Rao? And to my mother! Tell me!"
However, Ulanara Yixiu seemed not to have heard anything.
He slowly knelt back on the prayer mat, clasped his hands together, closed his eyes, and began to chant incantations.
Completely ignoring Zhen Huan's anger and anxiety.
Seeing this, Zhen Huan became even more anxious and worried, and she asked loudly again:
"What exactly did you do to Yu Rao and the others? Speak up!"
No matter how loudly Zhen Huan questioned her, Ulanara Yixiu remained unmoved.
Just then, the guard who had accepted Jinxi's purse earlier hurriedly walked in.
He glanced nervously at Zhen Huan, then lowered his voice and said:
"Your Highness Consort Wan, it's getting late, you should leave now."
If anyone else discovers that I let you in without permission today...
I'm afraid all of us will be in deep trouble!
Upon hearing this, Zhen Huan shook her head and said:
"No, wait a little longer. I have to get the truth out of her!"
The guard looked troubled and explained with a helpless expression:
"Your Majesty, this servant was merely following orders. Please forgive me."
If anything goes wrong, this servant's life will be in danger!
Seeing this, Jinxi quickly stepped forward, stuffed more silver into the guard's hand, and said with a smile:
"Young man, could you please do me another favor? My lady is really worried about us."
The guard looked at the heavy silver in his hand, hesitated for a long time, then shook his head, sighed, and said:
"It's not that we're being unreasonable, but rather that you've been staying here far too long."
"Your Highness, please have mercy and don't make things difficult for me."
Zhen Huan stared at the guard and said, word by word:
"Brother, let me ask her one last question."
"I'll leave immediately after asking the questions, without delaying even a moment!"
The guard hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded slightly, which was considered as agreeing to Zhen Huan's request.
Zhen Huan walked up to Ulanara Yixiu and said in a low voice with resentment:
"No matter what you have done to Yu Rao, I will find a way to redeem her."
If Yu Rao suffers even the slightest harm because of you,
I will absolutely not let you, with your venomous heart, get away with this easily!
Even if you die and your soul perishes, I will make the entire Ulanara family pay for it!
After speaking, Zhen Huan suddenly sat up straight and glared fiercely at Ulanara Yixiu.
Then he turned and left without hesitation.
Faced with Zhen Huan's threats, Ulanara Yixiu remained unfazed and calm.
These words seemed to pass by unnoticed.
What connection does this so-called Ulanara family have with her?
She even secretly hoped that Zhen Huan could completely destroy the Ulanara and Uya families in one fell swoop.
Zhen Huan, supported by Jinxi's hand, struggled all the way back to Suiyu Pavilion.
When they returned to Suiyu Pavilion, Zhen Huan could no longer hold on and clutched her stomach, crying out in pain.
Seeing this, Liu Zhu and Xiao Yunzi rushed over to help Zhen Huan back to her room.
Jinxi then felt something strange in her hand, and upon looking down, she found it covered in blood.
"Little Yunzi, Her Majesty seems to be about to give birth. Quickly go to the Imperial Hospital and fetch Physician Wen."
"Liuzhu, go check the delivery room and have someone boil some water."
Xiao Yunzi rushed out, and Liuzhu hurriedly ran to prepare for the delivery room.
While comforting Zhen Huan, Jinxi tried to wipe the blood off her hands with a handkerchief.
Zhen Huan was in pain
Zhen Huan's tightly furrowed brows were covered with fine beads of sweat, which slid down her cheeks.
She clenched her teeth and called out intermittently:
“Jinxi…Yurao…”
Jinxi quickly replied, "Your Majesty, rest assured, this servant will immediately send someone to Ningguta."
"We must find out as to what news of Miss Yu Rao and the others."
Before the words were finished, a figure rushed into the room.
The visitor was Wen Shichu. He didn't even have time to bow to Zhen Huan.
He quickly went to Zhen Huan's bedside and took her pulse.
After a period of intensive diagnosis and treatment,
Wen Shichu's expression grew increasingly serious, his brows furrowing tightly.
After a moment, he slowly spoke:
"Your Majesty's condition is due to a combination of anxiety and exhaustion."
The fetus in her womb is now in extremely critical condition.
If measures are not taken promptly, both the Empress and the child may be in mortal danger!
Upon hearing this, Jinxi panicked. She grabbed Wen Shichu's sleeve and pleaded:
"Lord Wen, I beg you, you must do everything you can to save the Empress and her unborn child!"
Wen Shichu took a deep breath, steadied himself, then wiped the large beads of sweat from his forehead with his sleeve and said in a deep voice:
"Without further ado, I'll first prescribe a labor-inducing medicine for Her Majesty."
"Quickly and carefully move Her Majesty to the delivery room, and notify the midwife to prepare for the delivery."
After saying that, he turned around and walked quickly to his desk, where he swiftly picked up his pen and wrote down the prescription.
Everyone busied themselves as Wen Shichu had instructed, moving Zhen Huan to the delivery room.
The four midwives were very experienced; they only needed to glance at them.
He immediately noticed that Consort Wan's pregnancy was unusual.
However, someone had already secretly spoken to them beforehand.
Therefore, they could only pretend to be completely unaware of these unusual occurrences.
In this palace, the more you know, the faster you die.
Wen Shichu had already quickly prepared the labor-inducing medicine.
Jinxi placed the dish in front of Zhen Huan and gently comforted her:
"Your Majesty, do not be afraid. Drink this labor-inducing medicine first, it will help with childbirth."
Zhen Huan gritted her teeth, endured the excruciating pain, nodded, and then struggled to drink the labor-inducing medicine.
Despite enduring immense physical pain, her heart was always with Yu Rao.
A heavy and oppressive atmosphere permeated the entire delivery room.
Time passed second by second, and Zhen Huan's pain became increasingly intense.
Large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.
Zhen Huan's baby showed no signs of coming out.
Seeing this, Jinxi was extremely anxious and hurriedly asked the midwives to think of a solution.
At this moment, Fucha Peiyun, Nian Shilan, Feng Ruozhao, Cao Qinmo, and other concubines also rushed to Suiyuxuan.
Nian Shilan asked Xiao Yunzi, who was standing to the side, with an anxious look on her face:
"What exactly happened? Why did Consort Wan suddenly give birth prematurely?"
Immediately afterwards, Fucha Peiyun also asked anxiously:
"How is Consort Wan doing now? Has her birth canal opened?"
Xiao Yunzi replied respectfully:
"Reporting to Your Highness, Imperial Noble Consort and Noble Consort Shu..."
Our lady was accidentally startled by a stray cat today, which resulted in premature birth.
"Well, Physician Wen just finished prescribing the labor-inducing drugs."
Just then, a figure was seen rushing towards them from afar.
It turned out that Big Fatty Orange had heard the news and rushed to Suiyu Pavilion.
As soon as he arrived at the door, he saw basins of bloody water being continuously carried out of the delivery room.
The shocking red color was terrifying.
From time to time, Zhen Huan's agonizing screams could be heard from inside the delivery room, each one piercing and heart-wrenching.
Hearing these screams, the big orange cat felt an intense, burning anxiety within it.
He didn't care about anything else and was about to rush into the delivery room to see Zhen Huan.
Seeing this, Feng Ruozhao quickly stepped forward to stop him and advised him:
"Your Majesty, the delivery room is a place of filth, and Your Majesty's precious body is truly not suited to enter!"
However, the chubby orange cat didn't listen to her at all, and with a wave of its hand, shouted loudly:
"I am the Son of Heaven, why would I fear such things?"
He then continued to walk forward.
