A fairy from various TV dramas and movies travels through time, starting with Consort Fucha.

Chapter 128 Consort Fucha's Schemes

The next day, Guarjia Wenyuan indeed arrived at Yanxi Palace.

Fucha Peiyun had Ye'er serve tea and snacks to Guarjia Wenyuan.

But Guarjia Wenyuan had no appetite for tea or snacks; she stared longingly at Fucha Peiyun.

Upon seeing this, Fucha Peiyun said, "Give me the jade pendant."

Upon hearing this, Guarjia Wenyuan immediately took off the red musk from her neck and handed it to Fucha Peiyun.

Fucha Peiyun took it and said, "I happen to have a string of very similar ones here."

You can wear this one; leave this one with me for now.

I will return it to you when the time is right.

Guarjia Wenyuan hesitated and asked, "Is this acceptable, Your Highness Consort Shu?"

Fucha Peiyun said, "Don't worry, you sit down first. I'll go get the pearl necklace."

Having said that, Fucha Peiyun turned and walked towards her own bedchamber.

Guarjia Wenyuan waited anxiously.

Sitting in his baby chair, Hongchang said, "Don't worry, Mother Wen, my mother is very capable."

Guarjia Wenyuan snapped out of her daze, never expecting that the Sixth Prince, even at such a young age, could comfort people.

She hadn't really cared that the Empress wanted to cut off her ability to have children.

What she cared more about was that the Empress was plotting against her.

She was never one to suffer losses, and if it weren't for her father's repeated warnings before she entered the palace...

With her personality, she would have exploded long ago.

Seeing such an adorable child as the Sixth Prince now, I can't help but think about what would have happened if she hadn't discovered the secret of the red musk beaded necklace.

If I can't get pregnant again, I'll never have such a lovely child.

This deepened her hatred for the Empress.

However, Guarjia Wenyuan also knew how to restrain her expression in front of the children.

Guarjia Wenyuan smiled at Hongwen, unconsciously raising her voice as she spoke.

"Your Highness, thank you for your comfort, Sixth Prince."

Hongchang said, "You're welcome."

Before long, Fucha Peiyun came out carrying a string of exquisite beads.

The necklace has a warm, lustrous color, and each bead is full and plump.

It is extremely similar to the red musk necklace that Guarjia Wenyuan handed over before.

Fucha Peiyun smiled and handed the pearl necklace to Guarjia Wenyuan, saying:

"Look, this one is also very nice."

Guarjia Wenyuan took it and examined it carefully. She found that it was indeed difficult to distinguish, and felt somewhat relieved.

But this string of beads seems no different from the previous red musk string of beads.

Some suspect this is the red musk beaded necklace.

Fucha Peiyun smiled upon seeing this.

"Doesn't this string look similar? But you can smell the scent on this beaded bracelet."

Guarjia Wenyuan held the pearl bracelet under her nose and smelled it carefully.

Then they discovered that the beaded necklace had no scent at all.

Guarjia Wenyuan breathed a sigh of relief and bowed to Fucha Peiyun in gratitude:

"Thank you so much, Your Highness, for coming to my rescue. I was really worried."

Fucha Peiyun helped her up and said gently:

"Your father already gave the instructions, so I will naturally take care of you."

You just need to be more careful in the future, so as not to be schemed against by others again.

"I can't help you forever."

Guarjia Wenyuan replied, "Yes, Your Highness, I will be more careful in the future."

With a sense of relief, Guarjia Wenyuan was also able to enjoy the snacks and tea at Yanxi Palace.

After playing with Hongchang's toys for a while, they left Yanxi Palace and returned to Changchun Palace.

After returning to Changchun Palace, Guarjia Wenyuan went to the main hall to request an audience with Li Jingyan.

Cui Guo quickly led Guarjia Wenyuan into the main hall.

Li Jingyan sat leaning against the couch, looking rather listless.

Guarjia Wenyuan was startled, "Consort Qi, what's wrong?"

Li Jingyan has been feigning illness these past few days and hasn't even gone to pay her respects.

Guarjia Wenyuan never expected Li Jingyan to turn out like this.

This looks like she's really sick.

Li Jingyan waved her hand and said, "I'm fine, I just didn't rest well last night."

How is your situation?

"What did Consort Shu say when you went to Yanxi Palace today?"

Guarjia Wenyuan never expected that Consort Qi still cared about her.

This deeply moved Guarjia Wenyuan.

"Your Highness Qi, rest assured, Consort Shu has helped me change to a different beaded necklace."

Guarjia Wenyuan took off the pearl necklace from her neck and showed it to Li Jingyan.

Li Jingyan took it and looked at it, then asked in confusion, "Isn't this the red musk beaded necklace?"

Guarjia Wenyuan said, "Your Majesty may smell the aroma of this string of jade."

Upon hearing this, Li Jingyan carefully smelled the pearl.

"It has no flavor, but this skewer looks so much like the previous one!"

Guarjia Wenyuan: "Yes, I think so too."

Li Jingyan asked, "Could it be that Consort Shu used some method to remove the musk?"

Guarjia Wenyuan said, "That shouldn't be possible. What method could possibly remove the smell so easily?"

Li Jingyan suggested, "Why don't we go and find Physician Wen to take a look?"

Guarjia Wenyuan said, "No need. Since Consort Shu is helping me, how could I possibly doubt her?"

Li Jingyan quickly shook her head, "I don't doubt Consort Shu, I'm just a little curious."

Guarjia Wenyuan was also curious, so she said, "Alright then, let Physician Wen take Her Majesty's pulse again to check her health."

Your Majesty, you don't look well.

So Cuiguo hurriedly sent someone to invite Wen Shichu from the Imperial Hospital.

Before long, Wen Shichu rushed over.

After the formalities were completed, Physician Wen first took Li Jingyan's pulse.

"Your Majesty, you are worrying too much. This is bad for your health. The prescription I gave you last time..."

"Your Majesty, have you not drunk your drink on time?"

Li Jingyan felt a little guilty; she found the medicine too bitter and only drank it twice.

The later ones were all secretly dumped.

Li Jingyan turned her head away somewhat embarrassed.

"Imperial Physician Wen, I know I was wrong and I will definitely take my medicine properly. However, there is one more thing I would like to trouble you with today."

He gestured for Guarjia Wenyuan to take out the string of beads.

Wen Shichu took the bead and examined it carefully, then held it under his nose and sniffed it gently.

This beaded necklace is actually the same red musk beaded necklace from last time.

I just don't know how they completely sealed off the scent of the musk.

Such methods are most likely the work of the master.

A moment later, Wen Shichu raised his head.

"Your Majesty, this pearl necklace shows no signs of being soaked in musk or other drugs."

It must be an ordinary pearl necklace.

Upon hearing this, Guarjia Wenyuan breathed a sigh of relief, "It seems that I was overthinking things. Consort Shu is truly a kind person."

Li Jingyan said, "Consort Shu is truly skilled; she found such a consummate pearl necklace so quickly."

Wen Shichu instructed, "Consort Qi, you must take your medicine on time."

You need to relax; if the Empress doesn't cooperate, a minor illness could turn into a major one.

Worry and overwork ruined my health.

Li Jingyan said, "Alright, alright, I understand."

As soon as Wen Shichu left, Guarjia Wenyuan said to Li Jingyan

"Your Majesty, you must listen to Physician Wen and take your medicine properly."

Otherwise, I'll come every day to supervise you as you take your medicine.

Li Jingyan hurriedly replied, "Alright, alright, I understand."

After resolving the issue of the red musk beads, Guarjia Wenyuan became even more unrestrained and reckless.

Regardless of whether it was a day for paying respects or not, Guarjia Wenyuan would go to Jingren Palace to sit every day.

The more the Empress forbade something, the more Guarjia Wenyuan said it.

What about illegitimate daughters, childless women, or those who are not favored by the emperor?

Or perhaps she casually boasted to the Empress about what the Emperor had bestowed upon her.

The Empress thought she had long since stopped caring about these things, but Guarjia Wenyuan still made her forehead throb with anger.

On this day, Guarjia Wenyuan came to Jingren Palace as usual.

The Empress, barely suppressing her displeasure, asked with a forced smile:

"What brings you to my palace today?"

Guarjia Wenyuan smiled charmingly, bowed, and said:

"I received some fine tea from Jiangnan as tribute, and I thought Your Majesty the Empress would surely enjoy it, so I came to share it."

After saying this, he ordered Jinglan to present it.

The Empress smiled and praised, but the smile didn't reach her eyes: "You are thoughtful."

Guarjia Wenyuan pretended not to hear the coldness and continued:

"I've heard that this tea is incredibly precious, and that His Majesty bestowed it upon me alone."

How could I, your humble servant, dare to enjoy this alone? Your Majesty was the first person I thought of.

The Empress Dowager is the one who loves the concubines the most in this palace, and she even bestowed upon them such a precious red jade beaded necklace.”

As Guarjia Wenyuan spoke, she took out the necklace around her neck.

Upon seeing this, the Empress's initial suspicions vanished, but her anger remained undiminished.

Guarjia Wenyuan said, "Your Majesty is kind to me, so naturally I must repay Your Majesty."

The Empress said, "I have all these things here. You can keep the things the Emperor bestowed upon you."

Guarjia Wenyuan: "Really? But the tea I drank here last time didn't seem to be very good."

Before the Empress could speak, Guarjia Wenyuan continued...

"It seems the palace maid who was brewing tea accidentally took the wrong tea leaves."

Your Majesty the Empress is of such high status, how could your palace lack fine things?

However, these tea leaves are also a token of my affection.

"Your Majesty, please keep it and drink it."

The Empress looked at Guarjia Wenyuan, and although she was annoyed, she could not show it and had no choice but to reluctantly accept the tea.

Upon seeing this, Guarjia Wenyuan's lips curled into a barely perceptible smile.

After Guarjia Wenyuan left, Huichun said angrily

"Is Consort Wen out of her mind? Is she here to please the Empress, or to cause her trouble?"

The Queen rubbed her increasingly throbbing temples and said, "She probably doesn't have the guts."

Seeing this, Huichun quickly stepped forward to help the Empress press her forehead.

But this did not alleviate the Queen's headache at all.

Seeing this, Huichun hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, this servant will go and fetch the imperial physician for you."

The Empress waved her hand, "No need, it's an old ailment that's always the same."

Starting tomorrow, I will be retiring from the palace to worship Buddha, and they no longer need to come to pay their respects.

Painting Spring "Is"

The Empress was so angered by Guarjia Wenyuan that she shut herself in her palace, which made everyone who knew about it laugh at her.

Thus, the Empress closed her palace, and the people in the harem no longer needed to get up early to pay their respects to her.

Everyone was happy, and they all had a good impression of Consort Wen, Guarjia Wenyuan, who had managed to anger the Empress.

And just like that, several more days flew by.

On this day, inside Jingren Palace, sunlight streamed through the carved window lattices, casting dappled patterns of light and shadow on the ground.

Huichun tiptoed into the Buddhist hall.

He walked up to the empress kneeling before the Buddha statue, bowed slightly in respect, and then...

He then lowered his voice and reported the news he had just received to the Empress.

The Empress was kneeling before the Buddha, chanting sutras, when she heard what Huichun said.

He paused in the motion of turning the prayer beads in his hand, then looked up.

"News from Yikun Palace? Tell me quickly!"

Hui Chun said softly, "Your Highness, our spies planted in Yikun Palace have sent word..."

It's said that Yikun Palace seems to be paying quite a bit of attention to the Cold Palace lately.

Upon hearing this, the Empress frowned slightly and asked in confusion, "The Cold Palace?"

What was Nian Shilan concerned about in the Cold Palace?

Huichun shook her head, indicating that she didn't know the reason either.

"I really don't know the specific reason."

The message coming back from Yikun Palace was only that the Imperial Noble Consort had been keeping a close eye on the movements in the Cold Palace.

But even our informants couldn't find out the more detailed information.

That person was probably worried that getting too close would arouse the Imperial Noble Consort's suspicion.

At this point, Eichun paused slightly, then added:

"After all, the Imperial Noble Consort's behavior is quite different from before, and we can't be sure what she's thinking."

We finally heard this news, so if we're not careful...

This would likely not only render all our previous efforts futile, but also bring us trouble.

The Empress's expression softened slightly upon hearing this:

"Yes, Nian Shilan is indeed hard to fathom now."

Nian Shilan would never have developed an interest in the Cold Palace for no reason.

Something must have happened in the Cold Palace.

Huichun, quickly send someone to find out what's going on.

Remember, always act with extreme caution and avoid making any moves that might alert the enemy or attract attention.

Hui Chun quickly replied, "Yes, Your Highness. This servant will give the order immediately."

I will certainly handle this matter properly and live up to Your Majesty's expectations.

After speaking, she bowed to the Empress again, then turned and hurriedly left to arrange for people to investigate the matter in the Cold Palace.

A few days later, Huichun hurriedly reported to the Empress.

"Your Majesty, Huanbi in the Cold Palace is pregnant."

"Pregnancy?" As the head of the abortion squad, the queen was particularly sensitive to pregnancy.

Upon hearing this, the Empress frowned, utterly shocked, and said sternly:

"Who are you saying is pregnant?"

Hui Chun quickly repeated, "Your Highness, it's Huan Bi."

That's Huanbi, the younger sister of Consort Wan who worked as a palace maid and was later given the title of Lady Huan.

A flash of anger crossed the Empress's eyes, and she said through gritted teeth:

"How could she suddenly be pregnant? Could someone have dared to defile the harem?"

"That bitch has gotten herself incredibly audacious!"

Hui Chun quickly replied, "Your Majesty, please calm your anger. This servant has already investigated carefully."

Since being sent to the Cold Palace, Huanbi has not had any contact with any men.

Therefore, in my humble opinion, the child in Huanbi's womb should undoubtedly be His Majesty's offspring.

Upon hearing this, the Empress snorted coldly and said with a face full of disdain, "Hmph, I never thought that Huanbi would have such luck."

But what good is it to just be able to get pregnant?

Whether she can safely deliver this child is still unknown!

As she spoke, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, revealing a sinister smile.

She can't touch other women's pregnancies, so does that mean she can't even touch the pregnancies of commoners in the cold palace?

After a brief pause, the Empress continued with her instructions:

"Go, send someone to deliver some good things to the Cold Palace."

Upon hearing this, Huichun was startled and hurriedly tried to dissuade him:

"Your Majesty, you mustn't!"

Now that the Imperial Noble Consort is paying close attention to the affairs of the Cold Palace, she must already know about Huanbi's pregnancy.

If you act rashly now, it might cause unnecessary trouble!

The Empress suddenly came to her senses, feeling somewhat uneasy, and murmured to herself:

"Could this be a trap that Nian Shilan has meticulously designed for me?"

She frowned slightly, lost in thought.

After a moment of silence, the Empress raised her head, looked at Huichun, and slowly spoke:

"You're right, this matter needs further consideration."

Do not act rashly for now, lest you alert the enemy.

I believe we should hold our positions for now and send someone to investigate further.

"I'll think about what to do next."

Hui Chun accepted the order and left.

Meanwhile, in Yikun Palace, Nian Shilan sat on a couch, playing with the jade hairpin in her hand.

Songzhi stood aside and whispered, "Your Majesty, it seems that Jingren Palace has noticed something."
