Chapter 59 Consort Fucha's Suspicion
Although Zhen Huan had anticipated that the Emperor would not severely punish the Empress,
But when they actually found out, it was still incredibly painful; the Empress was the murderer who harmed their daughter.
That was the child they had been longing for, but he died before he was even born.
This made it impossible for Zhen Huan to hide her disappointment.
Big Fat Orange knew perfectly well that his treatment of the Empress was somewhat unfair to Huanhuan.
However, the matter of deposing the empress was of great importance, as it had far-reaching consequences.
Even as the ruler of a country, he had to act with caution.
After weighing the pros and cons, the chubby orange cat finally decided to only confine the empress to her quarters and never release her again.
Looking at the heartbroken Huanhuan before him, Da Pang Ju felt a pang of heartache and secretly pondered how to make it up to her.
After much thought, he came up with a plan—to promote Huanhuan to the rank of Consort.
As soon as the idea popped into his head, Big Fat Orange thought it was quite feasible.
He had long wanted to promote Huanhuan to the rank of Consort, and since she had suffered so much this time, he decided to do so.
However, when his gaze inadvertently fell upon the heavily pregnant Consort Shu, he couldn't help but hesitate.
If only Huanhuan is promoted to the rank of Consort, while ignoring the pregnant Consort Shu,
This would likely cause controversy among the women in the harem, and might even trigger unnecessary conflicts and disturbances.
For a moment, the chubby orange cat was caught in a dilemma.
After careful consideration, Big Fat Orange finally decided to put aside the idea of becoming a concubine for the time being.
Big Fatty Orange wouldn't forget the grievances Huanhuan suffered, and was thinking of ways to make amends in other ways.
Big Fat Orange personally escorted Zhen Huan back to Suiyu Pavilion.
Although Huanhuan kept a straight face and ignored Da Pang Ju the whole way, Da Pang Ju didn't care at all.
Watching the chubby orange cat and Zhen Huan gradually walk away from each other.
Nian Shilan lowered her voice and whispered in Fucha Peiyun's ear:
"That old guy, he's so timid and hesitant in everything he does!"
I really don't know how I could have been so blind to fall for him.
Faced with Nian Shilan's complaints, Fucha Peiyun remained quite calm and responded softly:
"Although the Emperor is indeed muddle-headed in handling matters of the harem."
However, he can be considered a good emperor.
Upon hearing this, Nian Shilan snorted coldly and said dismissively:
"I don't understand these things. Never mind, let's not talk about this unpleasant topic."
I've had enough of watching the show today. Seeing your big belly makes me tired just thinking about it.
"Come on, I'll escort you back to your Yanxi Palace."
Cao Qinmo followed closely behind.
The three of them had just disappeared from sight.
Consort Xin turned to Consort Jing beside her with a suspicious look, and said in a low voice:
"Sister Jingfei, this is truly strange!"
How did Consort Hua end up getting involved with Consort Shu after she lost her memory?
Consort Jing frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then replied:
"Perhaps it's because the two of them have similar personalities."
After listening, Xin Chang nodded thoughtfully, then sighed:
"Yes, what my sister said makes sense!"
Consort Hua's amnesia has changed quite a bit.
In this way, we can finally breathe a little easier in the palace.
After all, the Empress is currently under house arrest, and Consort Hua seems to have lost her usual penchant for tormenting others.
Only Shen Meizhuang remained solemn, secretly worried about her good friend Huan'er.
Thinking that he would go to Suiyuxuan tomorrow to comfort her properly.
After Zhen Huan suffered a miscarriage, Da Pang Ju went to visit her at Suiyu Pavilion every day, but Zhen Huan refused to see him.
Gradually, the chubby orange cat stopped trying to win him over.
Suiyuxuan suddenly went from being bustling with customers to being deserted.
That night, all was quiet, and the entire palace was immersed in tranquility.
Zhen Huan, in the Broken Jade Pavilion, was suddenly awakened from her sleep in the middle of the night.
She suddenly opened her eyes, her forehead covered in cold sweat.
She sat up shakily, feeling a chilling, eerie atmosphere permeating the room.
It felt as if countless eyes were hiding in that endless darkness, coldly watching me.
The feeling of being watched was so intense that it sent chills down her spine.
Just then, Jinxi and Liuzhu, who were sleeping in the outer room, also heard the commotion inside and rushed over to check.
When they saw Zhen Huan's face, which had turned deathly pale with fear,
Jinxi quickly stepped forward, gently patted Zhen Huan's back, and softly comforted her:
"Did Your Majesty have a nightmare?"
Liu Zhu quickly went to the table and lit the candles on the candlestick.
Zhen Huan was still shaken, her body trembling uncontrollably.
"When I woke up just now, I clearly felt as if something was staring intently at me."
That gaze was icy and chilling, sending shivers down my spine.
After listening, Jinxi pondered for a moment, then comforted her:
"Your Highness, perhaps it's just a stray cat from the neighborhood that accidentally wandered into the palace. There's no need to panic."
Seeing this, Liu Zhu volunteered and said:
"Your Majesty, don't be afraid. Let me go out and see what is playing tricks on you."
However, before she could finish speaking, a cold, damp wind suddenly swept through and blew straight into the room.
The candle flame, already only the size of a bean, was now being violently tossed about by the gust of cold wind.
It seemed as if it could go out at any moment.
Just then, a shrill scream suddenly came from outside the door.
The scream pierced the silent night sky, sounding particularly abrupt and terrifying in the dead of night.
Zhen Huan and the others were all startled upon hearing the sound, and after careful discernment,
They discovered that the voice sounded exactly like Huanbi's.
For a moment, a sense of fear involuntarily rose in the hearts of all of them.
After exchanging bewildered glances, Jinxi finally took a deep breath and composed herself.
She mustered her courage and walked towards the door, ready to see what was happening outside.
She carefully pushed open the door and stepped into the darkness.
By the faint moonlight, a figure could be seen lying on the ground not far away—it was Huanbi!
Just as Jinxi walked to Huanbi's side, Xiaoyunzi ran over.
His face was filled with panic, and he asked anxiously:
"Aunt Jinxi, what... what exactly happened?"
How did Huanbi end up lying here?
Jinxi didn't answer Xiaoyunzi's question immediately, but quickly squatted down.
He reached out and carefully checked Huanbi's breath.
After a brief pause, she said softly, as if a great weight had been lifted from her shoulders:
"Thankfully, he's still breathing; he must have just passed out."
Xiao Yunzi breathed a sigh of relief, but the worry in her eyes still lingered.
Immediately afterwards, he and Jinxi worked together to slowly lift the unconscious Huanbi up and gently walk her into the house.
Zhen Huan and Liu Zhu walked over with worried expressions.
Jinxi gently placed Huanbi on the couch, then reached out and pinched her philtrum.
Not long after, Huanbi's eyelashes trembled slightly, and then she slowly opened her eyes.
Seeing that Huanbi had woken up, Zhen Huan quickly leaned closer and asked softly:
"Huanbi, what exactly happened? Why did you suddenly faint?"
Huanbi's body trembled violently, as if she had not yet recovered from the shock.
She composed herself, took a few deep breaths, and then answered in a slightly trembling voice:
"I heard noises coming from the Empress's room, and I was worried, so I came to check on her."
But then... but as soon as I stepped out of the room, I saw a white shadow flash by, moving at an astonishing speed!
At that moment, I felt a chill run down my spine, and my mind went completely blank.
Then everything went black, and I knew nothing more.
Just as everyone was holding their breath listening to Huanbi recount what had happened,
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning, as bright as day, streaked across the once pitch-black night sky.
It was like a silver dragon with its claws outstretched suddenly tearing through the dark night.
Following the dazzling flash of lightning was a deafening roar of thunder.
It was like a thunderbolt exploding in the sky, shocking everyone and making their ears ring.
Just then, they all saw a white shadow flash by like a ghost.
Caught off guard, Liuzhu and Huanbi screamed in fright at the sudden appearance of the shadow.
Before anyone could react, the previously calm sky seemed to have been ripped open with a huge gash.
A torrential downpour swept across the land.
Lightning flashed across the sky intermittently, accompanied by occasional claps of thunder.
This plunged Zhen Huan and the others into fear.
Zhen Huan even recalled the time when she had just gained the Emperor's favor, when the Emperor knew she was afraid of thunder.
That night, Si Lang was in Consort Hua's Lingkun Palace, but he still worried and rushed over in the rain to be with her.
At this moment, she desperately wished that her beloved Silang would suddenly appear.
She kept glancing towards the door, but the person she longed for never appeared.
The sounds of wind, rain, and thunder outside.
The fear in my heart spread even further.
Recalling the events of the night, Zhen Huan felt both frightened and uncertain.
She used to never believe in the existence of ghosts or monsters.
It was precisely because of this that she had the audacity to have Xiao Yunzi disguise herself as a ghost to scare Consort Li and the others.
But tonight, after witnessing those strange phenomena with her own eyes,
She began to doubt her past beliefs, and the certainty in her heart became less firm.
Just think of An Lingrong who rammed her head against the wall at Jingren Palace a few days ago, the sight of blood splattering everywhere.
At this moment, it was as if it were imprinted in her mind, constantly appearing before her eyes.
She always felt that the blood-covered face would suddenly appear from somewhere.
To dispel the fear and darkness in their hearts, the people in the Broken Jade Pavilion lit many candlesticks.
The flickering candlelight cast dappled, yellowish shadows throughout the room.
It barely brought a faint glimmer of light to this terrible night.
And so, they endured the long night in anxiety.
Finally, one by one, they dragged their exhausted bodies to bed to rest.
As for why the chubby orange cat didn't remember to visit Zhen Huan, it was because his beloved Shi Lan was no longer paying attention to him.
Zhen Huan gave him the cold shoulder, but Shi Lan was willing to talk to him again. So it's obvious who he would choose.
He was the ruler of a country; it was impossible for him to continue to fawn over someone who had been repeatedly humiliated.
