AWB Chapter 218 Consort Fucha
Chapter 218 Consort Fucha
As soon as she finished speaking, Nian Shilan quickly presented the sachet and said:
"Your Majesty, this was found in an abandoned corner of Yanxi Palace, and it contained safflower powder."
Big Orange took the sachet and examined it carefully. His gaze fell on the unique patterns on the sachet.
Suddenly, his face turned gloomy.
The pattern on the sachet looked familiar to him.
But he couldn't recall where he had seen this sachet before.
The chubby orange cat rubbed the sachet in its hands, trying hard to recall where it had seen this sachet before.
Fucha Peiyun and Nian Shilan exchanged a glance and then bowed in unison:
"It is all due to the dereliction of duty by your concubines and others."
The palace failed to discover in time that there was such a wicked person in it who dared to harm the imperial heir.
Now that Consort Shun's unborn child has been harmed, her crime is truly heinous. We beg Your Majesty to punish her.”
Although Big Fat Orange has harbored some resentment towards Fucha Peiyun and Nian Shilan in recent years...
But he wouldn't go against his conscience and say that they were not good empresses.
In fact, these two were absolutely flawless in managing their harem.
They handled all the affairs of the harem in an orderly manner, never causing the chubby orange any worry.
Moreover, in the first two months alone, the imperial harem had more than ten pregnant women.
Everyone else was safe and sound, but this newly appointed Consort Shun had a problem, which really makes one wonder.
The chubby orange cat's gaze unconsciously fell towards the east side hall of Yanxi Palace.
Big Fat Orange really didn't want to doubt Fu Yu Rao.
After all, she possessed the beautiful face and outstanding talent that he admired, and her temperament was also quite good.
However, it cannot be ignored that Fu Yurao did have a motive.
She and Consort Shun entered the palace in the same batch, and not only that, they also lived in the same palace.
It should be noted that before Consort Shun became pregnant, she was not favored much and was just a low-ranking concubine without a title.
In contrast, Fu Yurao was appointed "Consort Zhao" upon entering the palace.
As soon as Consort Shun became pregnant, she was placed on equal footing with Fu Yu Rao.
He worried that Fu Yurao might do something wrong due to a momentary emotional imbalance.
After all, in the imperial harem, jealousy and the desire to compete often lead people to lose their minds.
Fortunately, Consort Shun's pregnancy was not greatly affected, and thankfully, it ended without any major disaster.
These thoughts flashed through the fat orange's mind in an instant.
When his gaze returned to the person who had come to apologize,
The chubby orange cat reached out and helped the two of them up, offering words of comfort:
"This is not your fault. People in the harem are unpredictable, and it is impossible for you to please everyone."
However, this matter of the sachet must be thoroughly investigated; I am determined to find the mastermind behind it all!
Upon hearing this, Fucha Peiyun and Nian Shilan quickly responded:
"Your Majesty, we will cooperate fully and investigate to the end."
Big Fatty Orange's gaze fell on the sachet again; he still didn't want Fu Yu Rao to be the one to harm Consort Shun this time.
The pattern on the sachet gave him a strange sense of familiarity, as if he had seen it somewhere before.
However, because so much time had passed, he couldn't recall it for the time being.
“Many years…” Big Fat Orange murmured to himself, and suddenly a figure flashed through his mind—Ulanara Yixiu.
But he immediately shook his head, dismissing the idea. This pattern wasn't one that Yixiu often used.
So, who could it be?
The Empress Dowager? Big Fat Orange once again rejected this guess in his mind.
Just then, a name suddenly came to mind—the former Consort Duan, Qi Yuebin.
"Yes, that's her!" Big Fat Orange's eyes lit up.
He finally remembered; this was Consort Duan's favorite pattern.
However, Consort Duan has been dead for many years, so how could she be related to this matter?
Could it be that she left behind some last message or clue before she died?
Thinking of this, Big Fat Orange felt a pang of anxiety.
The events of that year were complicated, and it's hard to say whether Consort Duan revealed any secrets to others.
If this matter is truly related to Consort Duan, then Shilan absolutely cannot be allowed to investigate today's events.
He didn't want Shilan to recall those unpleasant memories.
The chubby orange cat made a quick decision, handing the sachet in its hand to Su Peisheng behind it and instructing him:
"Let Su Peisheng investigate this matter. I'll go see Consort Shun."
Su Peisheng immediately knelt down to accept the order.
"This servant will do everything in his power to find out the truth."
Although Fucha Peiyun and Nian Shilan were somewhat surprised, they dared not say anything.
Big Fat Orange arrived at the west side hall, where Consort Shun was lying weakly on the bed.
Seeing the Emperor approach, she struggled to rise and pay her respects, but the chubby orange quickly stepped forward to support her and gently comforted her:
"Rest assured and recover. I will find the person who harmed you."
Consort Shun nodded gratefully, tears welling in her eyes.
Big Fat Orange still harbored suspicions about Fu Yu Rao, and after some thought, decided to move Consort Shun to another palace.
Big Fat Orange looked at Fucha Peiyun
"Ah-Jun, Consort Shun is young and inexperienced; I'm afraid she won't be able to properly care for the fetus."
I'm thinking of moving her to a different palace so that someone experienced can take care of her. Which palace do you think would be suitable?
Fucha Peiyun pondered for a moment and said:
"Xianfu Palace is quite peaceful, and it's well taken care of by two experienced concubines, Consort Jing and Consort Hui."
It would be most suitable for Consort Shun to move there.
Big Fat Orange nodded slightly, finding Fucha Peiyun's suggestion quite appropriate:
"Alright, then let Consort Shun move to Xianfu Palace."
"Please make the arrangements yourself, ensuring that Consort Shun can focus on her pregnancy."
Fucha Peiyun accepted the order and left. The chubby orange gave Consort Shun a few more detailed instructions before turning and leaving the west side hall.
His mind was in turmoil; the matter of this sachet was truly strange.
If it is truly related to the deceased Consort Duan, Qi Yuebin, then there must be a hidden story behind it.
As he walked, he pondered. Since that incident years ago, Consort Duan had remained very quiet.
The same was true when she entered the palace; even though she was constantly tormented by Shilan, she never caused any trouble.
Until that year, he left the palace with the deposed empress.
Shilan, provoked, went to Tingqing Palace to vent her anger on Consort Duan.
Consort Duan, perhaps driven to desperation, revealed the truth of what happened back then to Shilan.
Shilan lost her memory after hitting a wall, and not long after, Consort Duan died.
Big Fat Orange also forgot for a moment that he was supposed to get rid of Consort Duan's people!
Over the years, he has also come to realize that there are no truly innocent people in this harem.
Some people just hide it well.
Consort Duan grew up by the Empress Dowager's side; how could she possibly lack any skills?
Why have Consort Duan's people been silent for so many years, and why have they suddenly reappeared?
Or is someone using these things to cause trouble?
Su Peisheng followed closely behind the chubby orange, but seeing that he was preoccupied, he didn't dare to speak rashly.
Only when the chubby orange cat stopped beside a rockery did it ask softly:
"Your Majesty, what are your orders?"
The chubby orange cat came to its senses.
Let Su Peisheng examine the sachet carefully.
"Su Peisheng, you have served me for many years, have you ever seen the pattern on this sachet?"
Su Peisheng took the sachet, examined it carefully for a moment, and shook his head, saying:
"This servant is dull-witted, but I feel that the pattern on this sachet is somewhat familiar."
But I can't remember right now.
