Chapter 178 Consort Fucha
Although Consort Qi was anxious after entering the palace, she did not forget her manners.
She walked quickly to Fucha Peiyun and bowed deeply to her back.
"Your Majesty, I greet you. May Your Majesty enjoy boundless blessings and peace."
Fucha Peiyun smiled slightly and said softly, "Please rise, Consort Qi. There's no need for such formalities."
"Come, sit down and have a cup of tea to soothe your throat."
After thanking her, Consort Qi slowly took her seat.
She picked up her teacup, took a small sip, then put the cup down and got straight to the point:
"Your Highness, the deposed empress has actually managed to bring smallpox into the palace this time."
"She caused Hongshi and Hongchang to contract the disease; I wish I could tear her to pieces."
Upon hearing this, Fucha Peiyun frowned slightly, and her expression became serious.
She sighed softly and said:
"Yes, this deposed empress is truly vicious, and I hate her to the bone."
If it hadn't been discovered in time, Hongchang would still be so young, how could he have withstood it?
"I only have Hongchang as my child. Just thinking about the suffering he endured when he had smallpox makes my heart ache."
Consort Qi nodded repeatedly in agreement, saying, "That's right! I have given birth to three sons and one daughter, but only Hongshi has survived."
He is the apple of my eye! This was truly a close call, but thankfully it ended without serious harm.
Zhen Huan went to the Cold Palace today. I thought she would teach that vile woman, Ulanara, a lesson.
I never expected her to slap Ulanara three times. She's really... really useless.
She's not usually so quick-witted, why did she chicken out this time?
Consort Qi was extremely disappointed in her son.
Fucha Peiyun shook her head and said, "As far as I know, Consort Wan is not someone who can swallow her anger."
This time, when she went to the Cold Palace, she only slapped the deposed empress a few times; it was probably just an appetizer.
There are definitely even more powerful methods waiting in the future.
Consort Qi listened and asked with some doubt:
"Your Highness, are you saying that Consort Wan has another plan?"
Fucha Peiyun put down her teacup and smiled slightly.
"Consort Wan is always meticulous and will not easily let go of the deposed empress."
She's only venting her anger now; she'll definitely resort to even more ruthless methods later.
Consort Qi frowned and said urgently:
"But I simply cannot wait any longer, to see Hongshi suffer."
"I wish I could go to the Cold Palace right now and tear that deposed empress to pieces."
Fucha Peiyun shook her head and said, "If Consort Wan can be Consort Wan, then we can be ourselves."
The child came from our womb and we raised him with all our heart and soul.
How can we stand by and watch our children suffer without doing anything?
Fucha Peiyun's eyes darted around, and she instantly made up her mind.
"We can also go to the Cold Palace and teach that deposed empress a lesson, let her know what's what."
However, you have to be careful not to accidentally kill her, or that would be too easy on her.
We need to torture her slowly, making her wish she were dead.
This will also give Consort Wan's methods a chance to be used.
Fucha Peiyun raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a sly smile.
Upon hearing this, Consort Qi's eyes lit up suddenly, as if enlightened, and she quickly echoed:
"Your Highness Consort Shu is so thoughtful! I understand, and I will certainly do as Your Highness says."
Once the two had reached an agreement, they began making preparations in earnest.
The next morning, Fucha Peiyun took Ye'er to the Cold Palace.
Ye'er followed closely behind Fucha Peiyun, holding a long whip in her hand.
The whip was entirely black, with a faint gleam of cold light; anyone with eyes could tell at a glance what it was for.
Before long, the two arrived at the gate of the Cold Palace.
The head maid of the Cold Palace saw someone walking this way from afar.
His face immediately lit up with a smile, and he hurried forward to greet her.
Life in the cold palace was already hard enough, and now someone was finally offering them something nice.
How could she not be happy?
The head maidservant greeted her with great joy, initially assuming it was Consort Wan who had come again.
But when she looked closely, she realized that the person who had come was not Consort Wan.
Judging from her attire, her rank is even higher than that of Consort Wan.
I wonder which important person it is?
The head maidservant hurried forward, curtsying with a fawning expression:
"This servant greets Your Majesty, may Your Majesty be blessed with long life and good health!"
Upon hearing the address given to the old woman, Ye'er understood that the old woman knew Fucha Peiyun's identity.
Ye'er quickly stepped forward and whispered:
"This is Consort Shu, you must look closely."
Upon hearing this, the head maid's eyes lit up, and she was secretly delighted:
So it's Consort Shu! You've really struck it rich now!
She quickly bowed again, and said with trepidation:
"Oh my, it's Consort Shu, the Imperial Concubine, graced us with her presence!"
"It's all my fault for being blind and not recognizing Your Majesty. I have offended you, Your Majesty. Please forgive me!"
Seeing this, Ye'er took out an exquisite purse from her bosom and handed it to the head maid in a leisurely manner.
The head maid's eyes lit up when she saw this.
His smile grew even brighter, almost closing his eyes into slits.
She happily accepted the purse, muttering to herself:
"Thank you for your generous gift, Your Majesty! Thank you for your generous gift, Your Majesty!"
Fucha Peiyun watched all this expressionlessly, and simply said:
"Lead the way."
The head maid nodded and bowed hurriedly, leading Fucha Peiyun and Ye'er inside.
Before long, they arrived at the small house where Ulanara Yixiu was.
The head maid, all smiles, pushed open the door and respectfully invited Fucha Peiyun and Ye'er inside.
Ulanara Yixiu heard the noise and slowly raised her head.
When she recognized the person as Fucha Peiyun, she exclaimed in astonishment:
"It's you, Lady Fuca?"
The head maidservant rushed to Ulanara Yixiu's side in a flash, like a gust of wind.
Without saying a word, he raised his hand and slapped her hard across the face.
That slap was really hard; Ulanara Yixiu staggered and almost fell to the ground.
But she was, after all, an empress, and she still retained a certain arrogance in her bones.
So despite swaying slightly, she endured the pain, straightened her back, and stood there steadily.
He simply refused to bow to Fucha Peiyun.
Her eyes were fixed on the head maid, as if they were spitting fire.
Clearly, they hadn't expected this old woman to be so bold.
How dare an old servant slap her?
However, the head maid was not intimidated by Ulanara Yixiu's gaze at all.
Instead, he raised his hand again.
With another "smack," he delivered a second, hard slap to her.
This caused Ulanara Yixiu's face to swell even more.
I feel like my face doesn't even belong to me anymore.
These two slaps from the old woman were much harder than the three slaps Zhen Huan received yesterday.
But Ulanara Yixiu gritted her teeth and refused to give in.
Seeing this, the head maid couldn't help but sneer inwardly:
"Hmph, you deposed empress, you've already been banished to the cold palace, what are you still putting on airs of an empress for?"
Do you really think you can still be as powerful and influential as before?
Let me tell you, this isn't the time for you to make the decisions!
