Chapter 237 Consort Fucha
Chapter 237 Consort Fucha
By the time Wei Lin finished the acupuncture, the medicine had already been brewed.
Yaoqin quickly fed Fu Yurao the medicine.
Yaoqin carefully brought the bowl of medicine to Fu Yurao's lips.
He gently blew on it to make sure the medicine wasn't too hot and would burn her.
She called softly, "My lady, please drink some medicine. You'll feel better after you drink it."
However, Fu Yurao remained unconscious, and Yaoqin could only feed her the medicine little by little, afraid that she would choke.
Big Fat Orange watched nervously from the side, occasionally asking Wei Lin:
"Wei Lin, how long will it take for Consort Zhao to wake up after taking this medicine?"
At this moment, Fucha Peiyun said, "Your Majesty, I think Consort Zhao's fingers just seemed to move."
When Fucha Peiyun said this, everyone was stunned, and then their eyes all focused on Fu Yurao's fingers.
Fu Yurao's previously stiff fingers trembled slightly, as if they had regained some vitality.
Seeing this, the chubby orange cat's furrowed brows relaxed slightly, and it eagerly moved closer, asking repeatedly:
"Ah-Jun, did you see it clearly?"
Has Consort Zhao really made a move?
Fucha Peiyun remained calm and composed, her tone resolute:
"Your Majesty, I clearly saw Consort Zhao's finger move just now."
The medicine must have already taken effect; she should wake up soon.
Slowly, Fu Yurao's eyelids twitched, and she finally opened her eyes.
Her eyes still held a hint of confusion and weakness, but they quickly focused on the chubby orange boy's face.
His lips moved slightly, as if he wanted to speak but lacked the strength.
When the chubby orange cat saw Fu Yurao wake up, a rare tenderness appeared on its face. It gently held her hand and said softly:
"Yu Rao, you're finally awake. Don't be afraid, I'm here. You can rest well."
He turned to Wei Lin and said:
"Wei Lin, continue to take good care of Consort Zhao's health, and I will reward you handsomely."
Wei Lin quickly replied, "Your Majesty, rest assured, this servant will do his utmost."
Fu Yurao saw Fucha Peiyun and Nian Shilan again, and forced herself to bow to them once more.
Fucha Peiyun quickly stopped her, saying, "Consort Zhao, you are not feeling well right now, so these formalities are unnecessary."
Nian Shilan rolled her eyes and didn't say anything.
Big Fat Orange was very satisfied with Fucha Peiyun's magnanimity and echoed her words.
“Ah-Jun is right,”
"Yu Rao, you should focus on recovering first. We can discuss these formalities later."
Fucha Peiyun said, "Consort Zhao, you must take better care of your health in the future."
Fu Yurao quickly replied, "This concubine thanks Your Majesty for your concern."
Then Fu Yurao pretended to have just discovered that her rank had been restored.
I looked at the big fat orange cat with a mixture of shock, emotion, and shame.
A complex light flashed in Fu Yurao's eyes, but she quickly concealed it.
He looked weak yet grateful, and said in a trembling voice:
"Your Majesty, I...I really don't know how to repay your kindness."
My concubine committed such a grave mistake, yet you not only failed to punish her, but also...
On the contrary, he is so concerned about my illness; I am truly flattered.
I have no way to repay you except with my death.
Upon hearing this, the chubby orange quickly grasped her hand and said with concern:
"Yu Rao, what are you saying? That matter is in the past."
"Take good care of yourself, I won't blame you."
Fu Yurao's frail state immediately reminded him of his beloved wife, Wanwan, on her deathbed.
Nian Shilan really couldn't bear to watch their insincere behavior any longer, so she stood up and said:
"Your Majesty, now that Consort Zhao has awakened..."
"Then I shall take my leave now, lest I disturb Consort Zhao's recovery."
Her tone was somewhat impatient, and without waiting for Big Fat Orange to speak, she walked straight outside, with Songzhi quickly following.
Big Fat Orange only knew that Shilan was jealous back then, and didn't hold her little bit of capriciousness against her.
At this moment, Fucha Peiyun, who was standing nearby, also quickly stood up.
He spoke softly to the chubby orange:
"Your Majesty, I will also return to Kunning Palace now."
With Imperial Physician Wei Lin taking meticulous care of Consort Zhao, she should recover fully in no time.
"Your Majesty, I shall take my leave now."
The chubby orange cat smiled and nodded, then gave a concerned instruction:
"Ah-Jun, you should go back and rest early too. You've had a hard day."
After thanking the Emperor, Fucha Peiyun turned and slowly walked out of Yanxi Palace.
As soon as she stepped out of the palace gate, she saw Nian Shilan standing not far away.
It turned out that Nian Shilan had not gone far, but had been waiting for Fucha Peiyun here all along.
Upon seeing this, Fucha Peiyun was slightly taken aback, then gracefully stepped forward and softly asked:
"Shilan, what are you still doing here?"
Is there something you want to tell me?
Nian Shilan was clearly very unhappy. She frowned and said:
"My sweet dream was interrupted, and I won't be able to sleep when I get back, so I came to talk to you."
Her tone revealed a hint of helplessness and frustration.
Fucha Peiyun smiled slightly and said understandingly:
"Perfect timing! I'm not sleepy at the moment either. How about we take a walk together and chat as we go?"
Nian Shilan nodded in agreement, "Then let's go."
So the two of them got into their respective sedan chairs, and the sedan chair bearers steadily lifted them and moved them forward slowly.
Fucha Peiyun and Nian Shilan's sedan chairs proceeded side by side in complete silence.
Only the slight creaking of the sedan chair sounded exceptionally clear in the quiet night.
The night was as dark as ink, and everything in the deep palace was shrouded in darkness, appearing exceptionally quiet.
Moonlight filtered through the clouds, draping the entire palace in a silvery veil, making the scene seem like a dream.
Nian Shilan spoke first, looking impatient:
"Just now at Yanxi Palace, you actually had the leisure to accompany that old man and his little sweetheart in putting on an act!"
I absolutely do not want to deal with these messy things anymore!
I'm utterly fed up with this harem!
Fucha Peiyun advised in a calm tone:
"Shilan, I know you are unhappy."
Life in the harem can be tedious, but don't worry, it will all be over soon.
"Since I promised you, I will absolutely not go back on my word."
After listening to Fucha Peiyun's words, Nian Shilan calmed down a little and said:
"Of course I believe you, but deep down I can't help but feel restless and impatient."
Seeing this, Fucha Peiyun gently comforted her:
"Shilan, don't worry."
Don't you want to see his miserable end with your own eyes?
Nian Shilan suddenly raised her head and said through gritted teeth:
"Of course I want to!"
I've endured all these years just so I could witness his tragic end!
But life in the palace was just too unbearable.
"If it weren't for you, I probably would have been driven mad by your torment!"
Fucha Peiyun gently patted Nian Shilan's hand, comforting her:
"Shilan, just bear with it a little longer, our plan is about to succeed."
He will definitely pay the price for his actions in the future.
Nian Shilan snorted coldly, her eyes filled with hatred:
“He lied to me, and I’m going to make him taste what it’s like to lose everything.”
