AWB Chapter 283 Noble Lady Fucha
Chapter 283 Noble Lady Fucha
The glimmer of hope that had briefly flickered in the heart of the chubby orange cat slowly faded away.
Big Fat Orange wants to ask
Shilan?
Why would you treat me like this?
What is this place? Why have I been placed here?
Unfortunately, the big fat orange can't speak.
But Nian Shilan understood the question in Da Pang Ju's eyes.
"This is the Old Summer Palace (Yuanmingyuan), this is a place I had specially found for you."
A place where you can properly 'recover'.
The last glimmer of hope in Big Fat Orange's heart was completely extinguished.
He looked at Nian Shilan, his eyes full of questioning.
"Why? Why are you doing this to me?"
Nian Shilan placed her hands on her abdomen
"Why? Do you remember there was once a child here?"
Nian Shilan's voice was cold and calm, as if she were talking about something that had nothing to do with her:
That child should have been ours.
But because of your and the Empress Dowager's ruthlessness,
That vile woman Qi Yuebin gave me a bowl of abortion medicine, and I miscarried.
A child who had already taken shape has been killed by you.
Even tigers don't eat their cubs; you and the Empress Dowager are truly disgusting.
Big Fat Orange's body trembled slightly; he couldn't believe that Nian Shilan knew about this.
His eyes were filled with guilt and fear, as if his deepest wounds had been exposed.
He tried to explain, but his throat felt blocked, and he couldn't utter a single word.
Nian Shilan's gaze grew increasingly cold. She slowly walked to the bedside of the large, chubby boy, looking down at him.
"You and the Empress Dowager plotted to make me marry you in order to seize the throne."
Yet they are wary of our Nian family, and can't even tolerate one of our children.
We siblings have been completely fooled by you and your son.
The big orange cat's eyes immediately became evasive and shocked.
Shilan found out? How could she have known?
Nian Shilan recalled, "After losing that child, before knowing the truth..."
I just thought it was my own naiveté.
I mistakenly trusted that vile woman Qi Yuebin and harmed that child.
I blame myself for not protecting our child, and I feel like I've let you down.
I gritted my teeth and drank the bowls of bitter medicine.
So that I can get pregnant with another child for you as soon as possible.
I was so naive back then, so full of hope time and time again.
Disappointment after disappointment, whenever I hear that another woman is pregnant.
I was filled with envy and jealousy; my heart was breaking.
I asked God again and again.
Why can everyone else get pregnant but I can't?
I come from a wealthy family and am in good health, so why have I never been able to conceive again?
I forced myself to eat pickled cucumbers, which made me vomit and experience acid reflux.
This reaction makes me uncomfortable.
But I deceived myself by telling myself that I was pregnant.
I do this foolish thing every time someone in the palace becomes pregnant.
Back then, I'm afraid the entire harem was laughing at me.
Every time someone in the palace becomes pregnant
I also think about Qi Yuebin's betrayal of me back then.
I trusted her so much back then, and treated her like a best friend.
But it turned out that my best friend stabbed me in the back.
It ruined the child I had been waiting for for so long
There was no sisterly affection in the inner quarters; I was just too naive and foolish.
Consort Duan, is that the "Duan" in "Duan Yao" (meaning "to carry medicine")? Why couldn't I see it clearly back then?
How could a criminal who caused the death of a royal prince become a concubine?
That's because she's always been doing things for others.
Someone is willing to protect her.
That's how she survived so many years despite my repeated torment.
Big Orange tried to shake his head in denial, saying that what happened back then had nothing to do with him.
But he found that he couldn't even do this simple action.
He was filled with guilt; he wanted to say sorry, but he couldn't bring himself to say it.
He had his reasons, for the sake of the Qing Dynasty.
He could only sacrifice that child.
He made it up to her too.
Can't we make up for the years of favor we've received?
It was because Nian Gengyao was too arrogant and domineering, and did not know how to restrain himself.
He had to be on guard.
He also knew that any further explanation would be pale and powerless.
Nian Shilan forcefully wiped away the tears that had been streaming down her face.
It's not worth shedding tears for such a hypocritical, disgusting, and inhuman person.
Why have I been unable to conceive again after all these years?
Every day I light the incense of joy that you personally brought me.
We eagerly anticipate having a child of our own.
It wasn't until I learned the truth that I realized it was all a cruel deception!
You've long wanted to stop me from getting pregnant, so I'll have to go through all the trouble of getting an abortion.
That's why there's this Huan Yi Incense, personally blended by the Empress Dowager.
The musk in this incense was actually brought as tribute from the Northwest by my brother!
I always thought it was my stomach that was letting me down, but I never imagined that the real reason was so terrible!
You and your mother are probably laughing at us siblings behind our backs, treating us like fools being manipulated.
Nian Shilan's laughter echoed in the air; it was a laugh filled with self-mockery and sorrow.
"Hahaha, how ridiculous!"
How could I have fallen in love with such a disgusting person like you!
I feel incredibly ashamed of my past foolishness and naivety!
As the chubby orange cat listened to Nian Shilan's recollections, it felt guilty, angry, and ashamed.
She was still wondering who had told Nian Shilan all this.
Nian Shilan took a deep breath, gradually calming herself down.
Nian Shilan looked down at the big fat orange.
"You must be very curious about who told me all this, right?"
Nian Shilan's voice was cold and calm, without the slightest ripple.
Seeing the disheveled state of the chubby orange cat, Nian Shilan felt a sense of satisfaction.
If it weren't for Fucha Peiyun's reminder back then, she, her brother, and the Nian family would all have met a terrible end.
Now, it is this high and mighty emperor who will suffer a terrible fate.
Nian Shilan's lips curled slightly upward, revealing a mocking smile, and she continued:
"It all started with your first audition."
"You chose Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang to enter the palace."
Shen Meizhuang, you and that old hag Empress Dowager specially chose this pawn to keep me in check;
As for Zhen Huan, it's because she resembles the late Empress Chun Yuan, whom you cherish so much.
Nian Shilan's tone was full of contempt and disdain; she was extremely resentful of Da Pangju's behavior.
"The selection of these two people into the palace was naturally a huge threat to me at the time."
But for Empress Ulanara Yixiu, who was in power but lacked real authority at the time, she was also a huge threat.
Nian Shilan paused briefly, then continued:
"However, Ulanara Yixiu is even more treacherous and cunning than I am."
She's been hiding in the shadows, secretly plotting and sowing discord between me and Zhen Huan.
I fought with them many times, while Ulanara Yixiu always hid in the shadows and reaped the benefits.
Soon, Zhen Huan became pregnant.
Although I harbor resentment towards Zhen Huan, I occasionally retaliate against those who compete with me for the emperor's favor.
But I absolutely never intended to cause Zhen Huan to miscarry.
Nian Shilan's voice rose slightly, and she became somewhat agitated.
"But Ulanara Yixiu was a truly wicked woman; she couldn't tolerate anyone in the palace getting pregnant."
She secretly plotted to cause Zhen Huan to miscarry, and then tried to frame me for it.
That time you and Ulanara Yixiu left the palace, and before Ulanara Yixiu left the palace,
They even deliberately stirred up my dissatisfaction with Zhen Huan!
This made me unable to suppress my dissatisfaction with Zhen Huan.
No sooner had you left the palace than I hastily summoned all the concubines of the harem to Lingkun Palace.
I'm going to teach Zhen Huan a lesson she won't forget!
Lingkun Palace burns the Joyful Incense every day; its fragrance is rich and strong.
If Zhen Huan had stayed in Lingkun Palace any longer, she would definitely have lost her baby.
If it weren't for Cao Qinmo's kind advice, Zhen Huan would probably have miscarried in my palace long ago.
However, it was precisely because of Cao Qinmo's advice that
That's how I managed to shift some of my anger onto that bitch Qi Yuebin.
So, I rushed to Qi Yuebin's palace in a huff to settle accounts with her.
Unexpectedly, this vile woman actually told me in person all about your schemes with the Empress Dowager and her son!
It was only then that I realized how utterly unbelievable those so-called truths were.
What you and your son have done is utterly disgusting and hypocritical!
When the chubby orange tree heard that Qi Yuebin had told Nian Shilan the truth,
He secretly wished he could grind Qi Yuebin to dust.
After all these years, Nian Shilan can still remember how well she knows the big fat orange.
How could I not know what he was thinking?
"Back then, the reason you chose Qi Yuebin to deliver abortion pills to me was..."
It was simply because I trusted Qi Yuebin completely at the time.
But besides that, there is another important reason: Qi Yuebin also came from a family of military generals.
Just as you are wary of my Nian family, you and the Empress Dowager are also wary of the power behind Qi Yuebin.
You don't want me and Qi Yuebin to get too close, and you also hope that our two families can check and balance each other.
That's why you made Qi Yuebin the scapegoat.
Nian Shilan's voice was cold and resolute, as if every word carried endless hatred.
"It's a pity that you never expected Qi Yuebin would tell me the truth."
From the moment I learned the truth, I made up my mind.
I will make you and your child suffer a fate worse than death, to avenge my poor child.
You'll get what you deserve!
The chubby orange cat's pupils constricted, a flicker of fear crossing its eyes.
His former power and authority seemed so insignificant and powerless at this moment.
Nian Shilan smiled, but a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes as she slowly spoke:
"Since the Empress Dowager cares so much about Longkodo and her youngest son, then I will make sure they die."
"The Uya family, the Ulanara family—this is the price the Empress Dowager paid for killing my son."
Big Fat Orange was startled by Nian Shilan's words.
He was initially worried about the Empress Dowager, but when he thought about her favoritism and all the things she had done,
Those worries vanished instantly.
His relationship with the Empress Dowager had been severed many years ago.
He did not regret eliminating Longkodo, as well as the Uya and Ulanara families.
Longkodo was arrogant and complacent, and his crimes of forming cliques and engaging in personal gain are too numerous to list.
The Uya family and the Ulanara family dared to interfere in royal affairs.
Murdering royal heirs, embezzlement, and deceiving the emperor.
He absolutely could not tolerate these things.
What he hadn't expected was that Nian Shilan knew so much.
They even knew about royal scandals such as the affair between the Empress Dowager and Longkodo.
Thinking of this, Big Fat Orange couldn't help but feel even more wary of Nian Shilan.
He never expected that Nian Shilan, who had always preferred straightforwardness...
They were able to secretly plot so many things.
Perhaps these things were all planned and orchestrated by family members behind the scenes.
He realized that the Nian family's power was probably even greater than he had imagined.
If he had known this would happen, he shouldn't have been soft-hearted towards the Nian family in the first place, leaving such a troublesome legacy.
Now, he couldn't help but worry about Hongchang's future, wondering if Hongchang could cope with the threat from the Nian family.
He is still grateful that he hasn't gotten Lian Shilan pregnant all these years.
If Nian Shilan really gives birth to a prince, the Nian family will definitely support Nian Shilan's child to ascend to the throne.
I wonder if Hongchang will discover that he is being controlled by Nian Shilan.
Send someone to rescue him
Nian Shilan said, "Originally, I wanted to make sure you had no descendants, but unfortunately..."
If it weren't for Fucha Peiyun, Nian Shilan would definitely have killed all of Da Pangju's children.
Upon hearing that Nian Shilan wanted him to be childless, the fat orange's pupils contracted again.
I began to worry about Hongchang in the palace.
Considering that Hongchang is now the emperor, and the palace is heavily guarded...
The Nian family definitely cannot harm Hongchang.
Hongchang was also protected by powerful Manchu families like the Fucha family, so the Nian family dared not oppose such powerful Manchu families.
Nian Shilan's lips curled into a cold smile as she mercilessly mocked:
"You treat women as pawns that you can manipulate at will."
Who would have thought that one day he would be manipulated by a woman, completely played like a puppet!
Big Fat Orange stared wide-eyed at Nian Shilan.
Faced with Nian Shilan's sarcasm, he was powerless and unable to refute it, because what she said was true.
He never imagined he would be completely fooled by Nian Shilan.
Nian Shilan's lips curled up slightly, revealing a playful smile.
"You care so much about Zhen Huan"
Who would have thought she'd actually cuckold you!
Nian Shilan's voice was full of sarcasm and disdain.
It seemed to be mocking the fat orange cat's stupidity and blindness.
She continued, "Not only that, she also made you willingly raise her and Prince Guo's son."
This is truly a good show.
Nian Shilan's words were like a sharp sword.
It pierced straight into the heart of the big, fat orange, drawing blood.
"How ridiculous! Utterly ridiculous!"
Nian Shilan suddenly burst into laughter, the sound echoing in the air and filling everyone with dread.
"If it weren't for Ulanara Yixiu killing those twins with smallpox,..."
Who knows, at some banquet you might discover just how much your Seventh Prince resembles Prince Guo's eldest son!
A hint of regret flashed in Nian Shilan's eyes, as if she had missed a wonderful performance.
"It's a pity the twins died so young, otherwise, it would have been so exciting. What a pity, such a pity..."
She murmured to herself, her tone revealing a deep sense of regret.
They're all despicable women! I'm going to kill them!
Big Fatty's breathing became rapid.
Unexpectedly, he never imagined that this vile woman, Zhen Huan, would dare to...
And the seventeenth prince
How dare they? I am the Emperor, how dare they?
Nian Shilan's voice grew increasingly shrill, "The Empress Dowager and Longkodo have an affair."
Maybe you're not of royal blood at all, but a complete bastard! Hahahaha…”
Big Fat Orange could no longer endure such humiliation; his chest heaved violently.
A mouthful of blood gushed from his mouth, splattering onto the ground and forming a shocking pool of crimson.
