The Legend of Zhen Huan: Entering the Palace to Become the Queen Mother

Chapter 148 The palace rules are strict, can’t we find out?

"The emperor's offspring is naturally smart. Plus, my little Yueyue has been very smart since she was a child. It's hard for the child born to not be smart."

Upon hearing this, Madam Fucha smiled and spoke.

"So, mother, don't worry about me. In fact, I have been living a good life since I entered the palace. The emperor has been very good to me, and the little one in my belly has not bullied me."

Fu Cha Zhixi had somehow learned to only report good news and not bad news to her closest mother.

"Silly boy."

Mrs. Fucha hugged Fucha Zhixi in her arms with heartache.

Although she had never been to the palace, she knew very well that the palace was not a paradise but a devil's den where people were eaten without leaving any bones.

How could she really believe Fu Cha Zhixi's words of comfort?

She was just sad. Her little daughter, who used to tell her everything, had learned to hide things from her. She swallowed all the pain and only showed them the good side.

Yes, everyone in and outside the palace knows that the emperor favors Concubine Xiang, but the emperor's favor is an illusory thing that will be blown away by the wind. Even if the emperor is good to her daughter now, who can guarantee that he will always be good to her in the future?

What's more, if she really cared about her daughter, why would she cover up for the mastermind behind the incident?

Her little Yueliang is the youngest sister of the Fucha clan and is the treasure of the whole clan. The emperor has too many concerns and is unwilling to seek justice for his daughter, but the Fucha clan will not show mercy.

If you dare to touch her daughter, you must be prepared to be targeted by the Fucha clan.

"Mother, according to the palace rules, once a concubine is eight months pregnant, her mother's family can send someone to accompany her during childbirth. However, we were busy rushing to the Old Summer Palace and it took some time, so it has been delayed until now."

Fu Cha Zhixi thought for a moment and then began to explain.

"The palace has strict rules and regulations. It's never wrong to follow the rules."

Madam Fucha naturally knew that it had already been eight months, but there was no news from the palace, so it was useless for her to wait even if she was anxious.

She didn't want to cause any trouble to her daughter and would rather wait a little longer, as long as her daughter lived well.

"Mother misses you, Xier, too, but she doesn't want you to be criticized."

Upon hearing this, Fu Cha Zhixi couldn't help but shed tears. She could clearly feel the deep love from her mother.

She raised her head again, and quickly put on a smile and looked at Madam Fucha.

"Mother will stay in the palace for more than two months this time. My daughter has already arranged a side hall for her to live in. Why don't I take her there to have a look?"

"It's okay. Just let the maid take me there. Your belly is so big now. You can't walk around all the time. You have to be more careful."

Mrs. Fucha patted the back of Fucha Zhixi's hand, her tone gentle but with a hint of unwillingness to give in.

When her mother spoke to her in this tone when she was a child, it meant that there was no room for negotiation on the matter.

So even though she is now Concubine Xiang, she is still her mother's youngest daughter and can only choose to be obedient.

"Okay, then let Suqin take mother over to have a look."

"I personally supervised the cleaning of this side hall. I asked them to follow the rules of our mansion in all matters, so that mother would not be uncomfortable."

Fucha Zhixi said with a smile.

"Wouldn't this be a bit against the rules?"

Madam Fucha was not too picky about food, clothing and other expenses. After all, the good things in the palace, especially in the palace of the favorite concubine, were treasures that were unimaginable outside the palace, so naturally they would not be too bad.

But she was worried that she might do something against the rules without knowing the palace rules, which would cause trouble for her daughter.

Even before entering the palace, she specifically sought out questions from the old people who had come out of the palace, and also learned the rules from the aunt sent from the palace for a long time, but for the sake of her daughter she had to be extra careful.

"Don't worry, mother. Although your daughter has no other abilities, she can still make you live comfortably in the palace."

Fu Cha Zhixi naturally understood why his mother, who had always been dignified and generous, was now acting so cautiously.

She looked at her mother and nodded seriously, signaling her mother to relax.

Seeing Fu Cha Zhixi smiling with confidence, Madam Fu Cha smiled and went to the side hall with Su Qin.

This side hall was arranged personally under the supervision of Fucha Zhixi, so naturally everything was in perfect order. Madam Fucha came to the palace just to see her daughter, so she would not be too picky, and she was full of praise after seeing everything.

When Suqin brought Mrs. Fucha back again, Fucha Zhixi was already drinking the necessary health-preserving soup for the day.

"Mother, if you see anything wrong, don't be polite and just tell Suqin directly."

"She is now the head maid in my palace. Naturally, she can arrange everything for you."

Fu Cha Zhixi smiled and looked at his mother and spoke.

"Okay, all is well. You don't have to worry about me. Are you still worried about your mother doing things?"

Mrs. Fucha smiled lovingly and said to Fucha Zhixi.

"Don't worry, I'll put everything at ease now that my mother is here."

Fu Cha Zhixi naturally knew her mother's abilities. She was not some naive and brainless white flower. She was a representative of the dignified and virtuous ladies in the capital who were highly praised by everyone.

"I asked your eldest brother to check for you the matter mentioned in the letter you sent back earlier."

When Mrs. Fucha saw Fucha Zhixi drink the health-preserving soup in one gulp with a frown on his face, she pondered for a moment and then spoke.

"So who did you find out, brother?"

Fu Cha Zhixi put the bowl back on the tray in Aunt Fang Qiu's hand, looked at Madam Fu Cha with a serious look and asked.

"It was Concubine Qi, but your eldest brother found out that the family of the young eunuch who served the horse received a large sum of silver before that incident happened."

Mrs. Fucha spoke up.

"Who gave this money?"

Fu Cha Zhixi frowned slightly and then asked.

"Queen."

Mrs. Fucha spoke.

Fu Cha Zhixi did not find this result strange. After all, she had probably guessed that the person behind this might be the queen, and now it was just a matter of confirmation.

"I knew it was the Queen who did it. Concubine Qi is so stupid, how could she come up with such a brilliant plan?"

Fu Cha Zhixi snorted coldly and spoke with great disdain.

But she knew that Concubine Qi didn't have this ability. Could it be that the Emperor didn't know what kind of character this woman who had been with him for more than ten years had?

But he just insisted that it was Concubine Qi who did it.

She didn't believe that the emperor couldn't find out something that her elder brother could.

Whether he is unable to find out the truth or is unwilling to continue investigating, only the emperor himself knows.
