Chapter 20: Consort Fucha's Revenge (Part 1)
Xue'er frowned and said with a troubled expression, "Your Majesty, Yikun Palace has been quite quiet these days."
However, I have heard that Consort Hua has recently been frequently enraged and her temper has become unusually volatile.
Moreover, Consort Cao has been frequently visiting Yikun Palace these past few days.
I really wonder if those two are secretly plotting something shady!
Xue'er shook her head, indicating that she did not know about it.
However, Fucha Peiyun knew perfectly well what was going on.
At this moment, Fucha Peiyun turned her gaze to Ye'er beside her and asked softly:
"How is the preparation of my auspicious robe going?"
Ye'er quickly nodded and replied, "Your Majesty, this servant has already inquired."
They said the wedding dress could be picked up in two days.
Hearing this, Sang'er, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but feel very curious. She asked in confusion:
"Shouldn't these auspicious robes be prepared by the Imperial Household Department?"
Why did Your Majesty specifically request someone to embroider it yourself?
Fucha Peiyun did not respond to Sang'er's question.
Xue'er replied, "The reason Your Highness has made such careful arrangements must be because you are worried that someone might tamper with these auspicious robes!"
Upon hearing this, Sang'er frowned and asked in confusion:
"Who could it be? Could it be the Empress? Or perhaps Consort Hua?"
Xue'er thought for a moment, then cautiously replied:
"Whether it's the Empress or Consort Hua, we must be careful and on guard."
After all, the inner palace is a complex place where people's hearts are intertwined, and the power struggles never cease.
We must not let our guard down around any of them.
Fucha Peiyun, who was sitting to the side, nodded slightly, indicating that she agreed with Xue'er's opinion.
She pondered to herself, although it was still uncertain whether the Empress would tamper with her wedding attire.
But it's always better to be safe than sorry; it's never a bad thing to be cautious.
She had originally considered borrowing a set of imperial concubine robes from someone else as a temporary measure.
However, in this vast palace, only Consort Jing possessed the ceremonial robes befitting a concubine.
Oh wait, there's also the not-so-bright Consort Li. Fucha Peiyun has no connection with Consort Li, so she's not really interested in borrowing from her.
Unfortunately, Consort Jing and Zhen Huan have a close relationship. If one rashly seeks help from Consort Jing, she might tell Zhen Huan about this matter.
She didn't want Zhen Huan to be on guard beforehand. Zhen Huan was a smart person, and Fucha Peiyun didn't want her to know anything in advance.
After hearing the news from each palace, Fucha Peiyun sent Xue'er and the others away.
As night slowly fell, the entire Forbidden City was enveloped in a tranquil and mysterious atmosphere.
Fucha Peiyun was like a silent night owl.
The movements were so light, as if afraid of disturbing the tranquility of the night.
Then, like a ghost, she quietly left Yanxi Palace and disappeared into the darkness.
Along the way, she carefully avoided the patrolling guards.
With his familiarity with the palace layout and his keen intuition, he quickly arrived at the Empress's Jingren Palace.
The palace, bathed in the night, appeared exceptionally solemn and majestic, as if concealing countless untold secrets.
Recalling the Empress's various petty actions over the past few days, Fucha Peiyun felt very irritated.
As a fairy, she wasn't the type to swallow her anger.
Fucha Peiyun quickly arrived at the door of the Empress's bedroom with light steps.
She tilted her head slightly, a sly glint in her eyes, and stared quietly at the closed door.
She quietly pushed open the door, walked to the Queen's bedside, and looked at the Queen through the bed curtains.
The empress slept in an extremely upright posture, as still as a sculpture.
Fucha Peiyun stood by the bed, her mind racing as she considered what she should do.
The Empress, though she is not favored in the palace now, is still the Empress. Her phoenix aura surrounds her, and her majesty is inviolable.
If one were to lay a hand on her, the consequences would be unimaginable, and there would certainly be a backlash.
This is not as simple as giving Cao Qinmo that loyalty charm last time.
However, it is absolutely impossible for her to give up her thoughts so easily.
Her eyes scanned the room, and finally, she inadvertently caught sight of Jianqiu, who was keeping watch outside.
In an instant, an idea popped into her mind.
At this moment, Fucha Peiyun felt both nervous and expectant.
She took out two special talismans that emitted a faint light from the system space.
One is a talisman for farting; the other is a talisman for bad luck.
She took a deep breath and precisely inserted the two talismans, each containing mysterious power, into Jianqiu's body.
As the talisman silently entered Jianqiu's body, a strange power, like an awakened undercurrent, began to surge quietly within her.
Soon, the talismans inside Jianqiu's body began to take effect.
Jianqiu, fast asleep, was immersed in that ethereal dream world.
Suddenly, she felt as if a tangled mess was churning inside her stomach, causing her indescribable discomfort.
Immediately afterwards, a series of "puff puff puff" sounds, like thunderclaps, rang out in her abdomen.
The sound was exceptionally loud in the otherwise quiet night, where you could hear a pin drop.
This sudden situation abruptly woke Jianqiu from her sweet dream.
She was terrified and instinctively covered her stomach tightly with both hands, as if afraid that something inside her might suddenly jump out.
At this moment, her mind was in complete chaos, she couldn't make sense of anything, and she had no idea what had happened.
She had only one thought in her mind: to find the latrine as soon as possible.
Just then, the bad luck charm started to activate, and as she prepared to get up...
Her left foot inexplicably tripped over her right foot, causing her to lose her balance and fall like an out-of-control cannonball.
In that instant, her body reacted instinctively.
Jianqiu instinctively tried to grab the table next to her to steady herself.
But it seems that she used too much force and not only failed to get a grip on the table,
Instead, it knocked the table to the ground with it, making a dull, loud thud.
Jianqiu fell heavily to the ground like a doll that had lost its balance.
For a moment, it felt like countless bees were buzzing in my head.
She was thrown around so hard she was dizzy and disoriented; the violent impact instantly numbed her body.
He didn't even have the strength to struggle to his feet, and could only lie on the ground, panting heavily.
But the embarrassing loud farts continued to emanate from beneath her.
In the dead of night, Jianqiu made such a loud noise, how could the others not hear it?
The Empress already suffered from headaches and was a very light sleeper; being so close to her...
She was naturally awakened by the sudden loud noise very quickly.
Being woken up so abruptly in the middle of the night would be difficult for anyone to remain calm; the Empress was filled with anger and confusion.
She was unaware that Jianqiu was in trouble, and she instinctively called out, "Jianqiu, Jianqiu, what happened?"
At the same time, the palace maids and eunuchs guarding outside were also awakened by the noise.
The Empress resides in this palace; if anything happens to her, they'll be in deep trouble.
A group of figures rushed in hurriedly, followed by several palace maids carrying lanterns.
They were eager to go in and check on the Queen's condition.
Meanwhile, Fucha Peiyun, who had already used an invisibility talisman, quietly hid in the shadows, watching them.
A strange light flickered in Fucha Peiyun's eyes, and her smile was like a ghost in the dark night, sending chills down one's spine.
The Empress called out to Jianqiu anxiously several times, but received no response.
A strange unease welled up in her heart, so she got up, lifted the heavy bed curtains, and slowly got out of bed, preparing to investigate for herself.
However, all she could see was pitch black, so dark that she couldn't see her own hand in front of her face. The Empress couldn't see anything and could only wait for someone to come in.
Just then, the palace maids carrying lanterns finally entered the bedchamber.
The dim light instantly dispelled some of the darkness, allowing the palace maids and servants to see clearly what was happening inside.
The Empress secretly guessed that something must have happened to Jianqiu, given the presence of this light.
She couldn't wait to see what had happened to Jianqiu.
You have to understand, Jianqiu grew up alongside the Empress, so there's bound to be some affection between them.
Before long, Na Huichun hurriedly walked up to the Empress.
Her anxious expression was evident on her face, and her eyes were full of concern and worry.
After confirming that the Empress was alright, she reached out her hands to support the Empress and walked very cautiously toward Jianqiu, who had fallen to the ground.
At the same time, two other palace maids quickly stepped forward and reached out to help Jianqiu up.
At that moment, Fucha Peiyun, who had been hiding in the shadows,
At this moment, it was like a lurking cheetah, keeping a close eye on these figures that were slowly approaching.
The light that gleamed in her eyes was like a ghostly fire in the dead of night, faintly revealing a hint of cunning.
Then, she suddenly waved her hand and threw another unlucky charm at Huichun, who was supporting the Empress.
The bad luck charm instantly entered Huichun's body.
Huichun's previously steady steps suddenly became unsteady; she first tripped over her own foot,
Immediately afterwards, his entire body began to fall uncontrollably to the ground.
The force was so great that she and the empress fell to the ground together.
Meanwhile, the palace maids who originally wanted to help Jianqiu were...
Unwittingly, she was also affected by the unlucky charm on Jianqiu's body.
They seemed to be under a spell, stepping on each other's feet.
They were entangled together, a chaotic mess.
Hui Chun, supporting the Empress, had already reached Jian Qiu's side. Now, with the combined effects of the two unlucky charms, their power was greatly amplified.
Some bumped their foreheads on the corner of the table, instantly getting big bumps; others hit their knees on the ground, wincing in pain.
For a moment, screams echoed throughout Jingren Palace like a tidal wave, rising and falling incessantly.
