Chapter 325: The plan to capture the heart of the concubine Hua
The empress dowager never regained consciousness due to this illness. After the emperor learned from Zhuxi that Longkodo used the empress dowager as a substitute, he was angry but also asked Xia Qian to investigate whether this was true.
However, because this incident happened so long ago and the people involved were no longer alive, Xia Qie was unable to find out anything.
In order to report to the emperor, he had to confirm whether the empress dowager's sister really had a mole in the corner of her eye, and then reported the matter to the emperor.
When the emperor learned that it was just as the empress dowager said, he wanted to dig out the poisoned Longkodo and whip his corpse to vent his hatred.
As for the incident that caused the Empress Dowager to suspect the matter, the suspicious Emperor also sent people to investigate it carefully, but they could not find out anything after searching for a long time.
After all, this play is not only performed by this troupe, but also by all the famous troupes in Beijing.
What's more, people who are not aware of this play would not associate it with the Queen Mother, so the Emperor had no choice but to give up.
Fu Cha Zhixi finally breathed a sigh of relief after learning that the empress dowager would never wake up.
At least his plan was barely successful. Although the Queen Mother was not angered to death, there was nothing she could do now. It was even more impossible for her to leave a will to the Queen that required her to not be deposed.
She had thought it through. If this plan failed, she would have to find a way to drug the Queen Mother.
This method is risky. Unlike this psychological warfare, even if the emperor becomes suspicious and wants to investigate, he will not be able to find out anything.
As the weather got hotter day by day, the concubines in the palace could still withstand the high temperatures, but the crops outside the palace could not. There were even droughts, leading to a large-scale reduction in grain production.
The emperor could no longer sit still after seeing this situation, and planned to go to Ganlu Temple with the queen to pray for blessings.
Before leaving, the emperor went to the palaces of two pregnant concubines to comfort them, and finally came to Chengqian Palace.
Honestly speaking, if he leaves the palace this morning, Concubine Hua will most likely cause trouble. Besides, the Queen is gone and the Queen Mother is seriously ill, so there is no one who can suppress the other party. So he is a little worried.
Concubine Jing has always been a useless person, but Xier is the only one who takes the initiative to stand up to Concubine Hua when Concubine Hua does something unreasonable. So she came to Chengqian Palace, on the one hand, hoping that Xier can take good care of her and little Fuzhen, and on the other hand, she also hopes that Xier can control Concubine Hua a little in the palace.
"It is very dry outside the palace. The Queen and I are going to Ganlu Temple to pray for a while. You are alone in this palace. Please take good care of yourself and wait for my return."
The emperor reached out and held Fucha Zhixi's little hand and spoke softly.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I know what to do. Besides, I am not someone who will be bullied. I will not suffer any loss."
Fu Cha Zhixi took the emperor's hand and spoke softly.
She naturally understood what the emperor meant. After all, Concubine Hua was well-known for her love of stirring up trouble. She would naturally worry that the other party would cause trouble without the suppression of the empress and the queen mother.
"Yes, I understand that you will not be bullied for nothing, but I still can't let you go. After all, I know the truth that a higher-ranking official can crush someone to death."
The emperor's words were very clear. The only person with a higher rank than Fucha Zhixi in the palace was Concubine Hua.
"I will act according to the situation. If I really can't help it, I don't mind committing an offense."
When Fu Cha Zhixi saw this, the smile on his face became even more obvious.
At least the emperor could say such words in front of her, which meant that her past efforts were not in vain, and the emperor still had her in his heart.
"I have granted you permission to commit crimes at critical moments. If there is any urgent matter that needs to be notified to me, you can go to Aunt Fangruo. She knows what to do."
Although the emperor knew that Fu Cha Zhixi was not someone who could be bullied, he still decided to leave a backup plan for the other party just in case.
"Your Majesty treats me so well, I don't know how to repay your kindness."
"This is a purse that I embroidered myself. I hope Your Majesty likes it."
Fu Cha Zhixi would naturally not be stupid enough to refute the emperor and say nonsense like "the palace is very safe and Concubine Hua would not do anything".
When faced with a man’s kindness, what you need to do is not to refute it, but to accept it with a smile, and at the same time offer your heart to let him know that you are always thinking about her.
"Of course I like what you gave me."
The emperor took the purse and looked at it carefully. The pattern on it was not an ordinary auspicious pattern, but two puppies embroidered on it, which were his favorite "Bai Fu" and "Zhao Hua".
"Have a heart."
The emperor was deeply moved when he looked at this unique purse, and felt more and more that Fu Cha Zhixi was his confidant. No other concubine would pay such careful attention to his preferences.
How could he not value Xier more?
After the emperor hung the purse around his waist himself, he hesitated for a moment and then spoke to Fu Cha Zhixi.
"After I and the Queen leave the palace, although everything in the palace will be managed by the Imperial Concubine, you and Concubine Jing also have some of the power in this palace, so I hope that Xi'er, while protecting yourself, can take care of the two pregnant concubines in the palace. I will leave these two and the children in their bellies to you."
The emperor looked at Fu Cha Zhixi solemnly and said.
"Your Majesty, rest assured. I will do my best to protect these two people."
Seeing that the emperor was so serious, Fu Cha Zhixi naturally would not let her down at this time. After all, to be the queen it is not enough to have the emperor's favor, she also has to let the emperor see her abilities. With her in the harem, the emperor does not have to worry about any trouble in the harem.
"Xi'er, I hope you remember that you and Fu Zhen are the most important in my heart. No one else is as important as you."
The emperor was naturally very happy to see that Fu Cha Zhixi agreed so readily, but at the same time he was worried that the other party would neglect the safety of himself and his children because of protecting others.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I am not that stupid."
Fu Cha Zhixi smiled and looked at the emperor and spoke.
The emperor stretched out his hands and took the person into his arms, gently kissed Fucha Zhixi's forehead, sniffed the fragrance of the person in his arms, and felt a lot of emotions in his heart.
On the last night before leaving, the emperor went to Concubine Nian's courtyard in the Yikun Palace in order to stir up Concubine Hua's hatred towards Concubine Nian.
After the emperor officially left the palace, Concubine Hua couldn't wait to summon the concubines to Yikun Palace.
Naturally, Fu Cha Zhixi would not attract Concubine Hua's firepower on the first day and followed the other concubines to the Yikun Palace.
