Chapter 375 Testing Fu Cha, a fatal blow
"Yes, I know you've had a hard time during this period and I've been worried about the children. Now everything is fine, and our family will never be separated again."
The emperor reached out and patted Fucha Zhixi's shoulder and spoke softly.
"Well, the emperor must have been exhausted during this period."
Fu Cha Zhixi looked at the emperor who looked tired with concern and said.
"Fortunately, everything went smoothly. Your brother played a great role this time."
The emperor looked at Fucha Zhixi and spoke.
"Brother is a subject of the Emperor. Being loyal to the Emperor is a blessing for brother and even more so for our Fucha family."
Naturally, Fu Cha Zhixi would not show the slightest complacency because of this matter. She must know that the Nian family and Concubine Hua are lessons from the past, and she must be humble again and again.
"You said your brother has made such a great contribution. How should I reward him?"
The emperor looked at Fucha Zhixi with a smile in his eyes, and his words did not seem to contain any trace of temptation.
But Fu Cha Zhixi was not so naive as to think that the emperor was just talking casually.
"How can I know this? I have never been interested in these things. Moreover, I believe that the emperor can see my brother's loyalty and will not treat him unfairly."
Fu Cha Zhixi looked at the emperor with a cute smile on her face, as if she didn't notice anything wrong with this sentence at all.
"What if I don't reward your brother?"
The emperor looked at Fu Cha Zhixi and asked jokingly.
"Thunder and rain are all grace from the emperor. It is my brother's duty as a subject to work for the emperor. As for whether the emperor wants to reward my brother, it is his business. The emperor must have his own ideas."
Fu Cha Zhixi pretended to be very trusting of the emperor and said to him with admiring eyes.
"I think your brother is still young. If I give him a high position too early, I am worried that he will fail easily, which is not a good thing. So I plan to suppress his achievements and reward him again when he makes more contributions in the future."
Upon hearing this, the emperor finally revealed a satisfied smile.
"I don't understand these things either, but I think the emperor must have his own reasons. I am just a little woman, and it is enough for the emperor to make the decision."
Fu Cha Zhixi leaned on the emperor's shoulder quite affectionately.
Fu Zhen, who was sandwiched between the two, listened to his father and mother talking back and forth, and sighed in his heart.
It seemed that his cheap father was wary of his mother's family, but fortunately his mother reacted quickly and managed to dispel his father's suspicion.
When Zhen Huan learned that the Emperor's plan was going smoothly, she was overjoyed. Now she could finally avenge her child.
When Concubine Hua heard the news, she immediately ran to the Yangxin Palace and begged the emperor to forgive Nian Gengyao, but she did not even see the emperor.
Under Su Peisheng's persuasion, Concubine Hua had to leave in disappointment in order not to anger the emperor.
After returning to the palace, Concubine Hua planned to go to Noble Lady Nian to discuss the matter at the suggestion of Songzhi.
Thinking that Noble Lady Nian was also a member of the Nian family, if anything happened to her brother, the Nian family would not be in any good situation.
But unexpectedly, Noble Nian did not seem anxious at all, but was extremely happy instead.
Concubine Hua questioned the other party angrily, but Concubine Nian mocked her harshly instead.
He was even too proud for a moment and let it be known that it was the Nian family who was behind Nian Gengyao's misfortune.
This stirred up a hornet's nest. Hua Fei was so angry that she kicked Concubine Nian to the ground. Then she grabbed Concubine Nian by the collar and interrogated her. Only then did she find out that the Emperor had long wanted to take action against her brother, and other members of the Nian family had also betrayed her brother, so her brother was demoted by the Emperor.
At the same time, Hua Fei also learned that her brother actually planned to rebel with Prince Dun. This made it difficult for Hua Fei to accept this reality for a while. She thought that it was only because her brother's achievements were too great that the emperor could not tolerate her brother.
But she never expected that her brother would actually betray the emperor.
Thinking of this, Concubine Hua lost all her strength in an instant, and was supported by Songzhi back to her own garden in a daze.
After being beaten by Concubine Hua, Noble Lady Nian was so angry that she didn't even bother to clean herself up. She just ran to the Yangxin Palace crying with her beaten face, wanting to complain to the Emperor.
The emperor did not refuse Noble Lady Nian's request for an audience. After all, he couldn't just turn his back on someone just because he had made a great contribution.
But he didn't expect that Noble Nian would be so embarrassed, which made him a little confused about what was going on.
"What happened to you? Did someone hit you?"
Although it seems unlikely, Mr. Nian's injuries don't look like the result of a fall.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Hua wanted me to come with her to plead for the traitor Nian Gengyao. I was unwilling to plead for such a traitor, so Concubine Hua beat me up. I really don't know what to do. Please, Your Majesty, help me."
The noble lady looked at the emperor aggrievedly and said.
"It is true that Concubine Hua is a bit rude. Let me ask the imperial physician to come and take a good look at your injuries to see how serious they are."
The emperor kept silent about how to deal with Concubine Hua. After all, he felt somewhat guilty towards her, so he had no intention of taking any action against her for the time being.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Hua bullies me like this, won't Your Majesty punish her?"
"I will not obey."
The noble lady Nian had a swollen face and acted coquettishly to the emperor.
This really didn't arouse much sympathy from the emperor, but rather some annoyance.
"I will give you an explanation."
The emperor frowned and looked at Noble Lady Nian and spoke.
Although Guiren Nian was indignant, he did not dare to say anything more.
Soon, the news spread throughout the harem, causing the servants who were originally prepared to take advantage of the situation to not dare to act rashly against Concubine Hua.
The Queen and other concubines were confused as to how much affection the Emperor still had for Concubine Hua. However, the concubines who had a grudge against Concubine Hua did not care about these trivial matters. They just wanted to suppress Concubine Hua as quickly as possible and not give her a chance to turn over.
Especially after Zhen Huan learned the news, she felt anxious, fearing that Concubine Hua would arouse the emperor's pity and turn the tables again.
So she went to sister Mei's palace overnight and explained everything to sister Mei. After knowing the truth, sister Mei regretted treating Zhen Huan like this.
After communicating with Zhen Huan again that night, the two sisters decided to launch a fatal attack on Concubine Hua at the morning meeting tomorrow.
"After all, we are not close to her. At times like this, I'm afraid we still have to ask Concubine Cao to take action."
Zhen Huan looked at Sister Mei meaningfully and said.
"But Concubine Cao is Concubine Hua's person. Would she be willing to stand up and correct Concubine Hua at this time?"
Shen Meizhuang looked at Zhen Huan with some concern and asked.
