Chapter 328 Lingrong pretends to faint, Zhixi gets angry
Fu Cha Zhixi didn't know how to respond for a moment.
It seems that Concubine Hua often quarrels with other concubines, and she does have some ability.
Concubine Hua felt even more relieved when she saw Concubine Xuan, who was speechless because of her blockage.
"Songzhi, go get someone to shut Concubine Nian's mouth. I can't even hear Concubine Wan reading anymore."
Concubine Hua looked at Concubine Nian, who was kneeling beside her and not behaving well, with some impatience.
"Slave, go now."
Songzhi quickly agreed.
Concubine Hua smiled with satisfaction and said to the servants who were serving her.
"Go and move the concubines' chairs to this corridor, so that they can see what will happen if they disrespect me."
Concubine Hua went to the inner hall alone, enjoying the service of the palace maids and the coolness of the ice.
Fu Cha Zhixi looked at Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang who were kneeling on the ground and refusing to give in, then looked at An Lingrong who was obviously sweating, and could not help but frowning.
An Lingrong noticed her sister's worried look and turned to give Fu Cha Zhixi a reassuring look.
"It's the same if this beauty sweats. Go and bring my incense burner over and fumigate her properly."
Concubine Hua smelled the faint smell of sweat in the air and could not help but put a handkerchief in front of her nose and spoke with disgust.
Upon hearing that Concubine Hua was going to move the incense burner out, Fu Cha Zhixi frowned even more tightly.
Ling Rong can't be allowed to stay here any longer. If she smells this smell for too long, it might harm the baby in her belly.
An Lingrong, who always had a keen sense of smell, had naturally smelled that something was wrong with the spices smoked in Concubine Hua's palace a long time ago, but fortunately she had not stayed in Concubine Hua's palace for too long before. In addition, every time she returned to the palace, she would ask the imperial physician to treat her well.
She told her sister as soon as possible, but her sister was not worried about herself. Instead, she was more worried about her and the baby in her belly.
In fact, she didn't really want to come to Concubine Hua's palace, but Concubine Hua was clearly trying to establish her authority. Although she was not yet in Concubine Hua's eyes, if she openly rejected Concubine Hua, she was afraid that Concubine Hua would not let her go.
Now, looking at Zhen Huan kneeling under the scorching sun, she felt worried but also a little relieved. Fortunately, she had been obedient before, and Concubine Hua had not planned to use her as a scapegoat.
But at this moment, Concubine Hua wanted to move the incense burner in front of her, which might be a bit troublesome.
An Lingrong touched her belly and decided to follow the plan she had made with her sister. If she couldn't hold on any longer, she would just pretend to faint.
When her sister looked at her again, An Lingrong nodded imperceptibly.
After receiving An Lingrong's hint, Fu Cha Zhixi also gave her an affirmative look.
The next second, An Lingrong's body went limp.
"My lord, my lord, what's wrong with you?"
Chun Tao quickly supported An Lingrong's limp body and shouted in great concern.
Concubine Hua couldn't help but frown when she heard this. Why did Concubine An suddenly faint? Was she pretending to faint?
But I didn't do anything to her, so she couldn't have fainted from fear from me.
Concubine Hua was concerned about the child in An Lingrong's belly. After all, if something happened to the two pregnant concubines in the palace, even if the emperor doted on her, he probably wouldn't forgive her so easily.
Besides, she was not as disgusted with An Lingrong as Zhen Huan was, so she did not make things too difficult for her and had An Lingrong carried back to the palace.
On this side, Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang were already drowsy from the scorching sun, and when the incense burner was brought out, the rich fragrance rushed into Zhen Huan's nose, making her even more dizzy.
When Concubine Jing saw Zhen Huan like this, she was a little worried and wanted to help persuade Concubine Hua, but was blocked by Concubine Hua with one word.
Fu Cha Zhixi felt more and more troubled and uneasy when she saw Zhen Huan like this.
Does she really want to save Zhen Huan?
If Zhen Huan gave birth to a little prince, and if he looked somewhat like Queen Chun Yuan, wouldn't the emperor develop empathy and blame the child for all the wrong he had done to the Second Prince?
In this case, wouldn't Fu Zhen no longer be the emperor's most beloved child?
Fu Cha Zhixi bit her lip, but still couldn't make up her mind.
You know, once the plot is changed at this critical point, Zhen Huan, who successfully gave birth to a child, may not leave the palace in the future, and the emperor will not be so heartless to the prince's mother's family, and everything will change accordingly.
Forget it, she even endured Lingrong's child, so why should she worry about the child in Zhen Huan's belly?
Even if the emperor might share his love for Fu Zhen with this child in the future, she really couldn't bear to watch an innocent life disappear because of her decision.
She hopes that she can be at peace with herself and retain the last bit of her bottom line as a modern person.
"Empress Hua, this is almost over. One pregnant woman has already fainted. Do you want another pregnant woman to faint as well?"
"If something happens to the two pregnant concubines in the palace, even if you are a noble concubine, I am afraid you will not be able to withstand the emperor's wrath."
After Fu Cha Zhixi figured it out, he no longer hesitated, stood up and spoke sternly to Concubine Hua.
"Empress Xuan, are you openly challenging my authority? Do you also want to kneel with Concubine Wan and Concubine Hui?"
Concubine Hua did not expect that Concubine Xuan was still not giving up. After seeing the miserable condition of Concubine Wan and Concubine Hui, she still dared to speak to her so arrogantly.
Although Concubine Hua did not intend to take action against Fu Cha Zhixi, she had run into a dangerous situation. If she continued to indulge her, wouldn't all the concubines in the palace laugh at her?
She laughed at herself for being a noble concubine but not being able to control an ordinary concubine.
"Empress Hua, don't forget that you don't have the final say in this palace, and this palace doesn't belong to the Nian family!"
Fu Cha Zhixi was not afraid of Concubine Hua in the first place, and even though she was confronting her openly now, she did not feel the slightest bit of fear.
"is it?"
"Before His Majesty left, he personally handed over the affairs of the harem to me alone, so I naturally have the authority to do so."
Concubine Hua snorted coldly, looked at Fu Cha Zhixi with a mocking tone and spoke.
"Come here, since Concubine Xuan wants to accompany Concubine Wan to be punished, then I will grant your wish."
"presumptuous!"
"Whoever dares to touch me will come and see."
Fu Cha Zhixi looked at the servant who was approaching with a fierce look and spoke in a cold tone.
The servants around were not fools. Without Zhou Ninghai, the number one lackey, the rest of them naturally wouldn't dare to cling to the title of concubine.
Once the Emperor returns to the palace and knows about this, perhaps nothing serious will happen to Concubine Hua, but they, the servants, cannot say for sure.
