The Legend of Zhen Huan: Entering the Palace to Become the Queen Mother

Chapter 73: Concubine Hua is willing to rest and recuperate

"I shouldn't do that. What shouldn't I do? That bitch Fu Cha Zhixi has already found out, and you're still talking nonsense!"

Concubine Hua simply poured the teacup at hand, along with the scalding hot tea inside, over to him.

"You are deliberately trying to harm me, right?"

When Concubine Hua saw Concubine Cao kneeling in front of her with her head down and not saying a word, she couldn't help but feel angry.

"My lady, how could I harm you?"

"Everything I have is given by you, my lady. I will never do such a thing."

Concubine Cao didn't care about the burns on her body and face, and spoke to Concubine Hua very respectfully.

Hua Fei's words made her swallow back the guess she was about to express. Although she roughly guessed that there were other people behind this, since Hua Fei herself didn't care, why should she say anything more?

Anyway, this matter has nothing to do with her, right?

"Okay, enough of the nonsense. Hurry up and think of a way to deal with this matter for me."

Concubine Hua glanced at Concubine Cao impatiently and said.

"Your Majesty, this is not difficult. After all, all of this was done by the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. What does it have to do with you, Your Majesty?"

Concubine Cao suppressed the anger of being humiliated, her eyes flickered slightly, and she looked up at Concubine Hua very respectfully and said.

"You mean to put the blame on Xiao Dengzi?"

Although Concubine Hua is not very smart, she reacts quickly at times like this.

"But I'm afraid a little Dengzi won't let that old woman, the queen, give up."

"My lady, it depends on whether you are willing to give it up."

Concubine Cao said meaningfully.

"You mean Huang Guiquan?"

"Your Majesty is smart."

Concubine Cao looked at Concubine Hua in a flattering manner and said.

"But he."

Concubine Hua was a little hesitant. After all, this person had some relationship with her, and he also helped her do a lot of things. If the Ministry of Internal Affairs lost such a person, it would not be so convenient for her to do things in the future.

"My queen, as long as you are alive, you will never have to worry about lack of firewood. As long as you are fine, the others are just not enough to serve you. If one is missing, you can always get a new one."

Concubine Cao naturally knew the importance of Huang Guiquan, but she was very clear that in order to give Concubine Xiang an explanation, she had to give up Huang Guiquan.

After all, a small eunuch is not enough to appease the anger of the Fucha family, and Concubine Hua must be made to bleed.

Besides, even if she had a better way, why should she tell Concubine Hua?

She was not so lowly. If she hadn't been thinking about Wen Yi's future, she wouldn't have been so servile in front of Concubine Hua.

As long as the emperor still needs Nian Gengyao, Concubine Hua will never really fall down. She is very clear about this.

"Okay, Songzhi, go tell Huang Guiquan that he knows what he should and shouldn't say. Our Nian family will take good care of his brother, so he can go with peace of mind."

After Hua Fei made up her mind, she no longer hesitated and spoke to Song Zhi.

"Slave, go now."

Songzhi nodded in agreement.

Gyeongin Palace

"My lady, Huang Guiquan is dead."

Jianqiu walked into the hall quietly and spoke to the queen.

"Really? Did you say anything?"

The queen asked in a calm tone without even raising her eyelids.

"No one said much, but I heard that Songzhi had come before Huang Guiquan died."

Jianqiu spoke.

"Hua Fei, ah Hua Fei, you really can't keep your temper."

"This is too cruel. It's a human life after all. Oh, Amitabha, it's such a sin."

The queen has gentle features and compassionate eyes, and no one can tell that she is the one manipulating the overall situation behind the scenes.

But the slight upward curve of her lips revealed her inner joy.

"Go and have someone pass this news to Chengqian Palace."

“This show is getting more and more exciting.”

The queen fiddled with the Buddhist beads in her hand with great interest.

"Although I was discovered this time, it's not a loss to let Concubine Hua and Concubine Xiang fight each other."

"Have all the people been dealt with?"

"My lady, the people who drugged us have been dealt with."

Jianqiu looked at the queen respectfully and replied.

"Such a secret medicine has been discovered. Lady Xiang is really lucky."

The Queen said with emotion.

But your luck ends here.

"Yes, this thing is supposed to be a secret medicine from the previous dynasty. Most people have never heard of it. How did Xiang Guiren discover this?"

Jianqiu's eyes were filled with confusion and puzzlement.

"This is not difficult to explain. After all, Xiang Guiren is from the Fucha family, so she naturally knows more."

The Queen spoke with a calm look in her eyes.

Although she failed, it didn't matter to her. After all, she had achieved half of her goal.

"It's a pity that such a good opportunity was wasted."

There was a hint of regret between Jianqiu's brows.

After all, the medicine that Concubine Hua gave, combined with another medicine, can form a mixture that can be used to burn incense. Add to that the magnolia pollen outside Chengqian Palace, and the poison is much heavier than the one that Concubine Hua gave at the beginning.

If Concubine Xiang had discovered the poison later, even Hua Tuo would not have been able to cure the poison.

"My lady, this Xiang Guiren has secretly become pregnant with the heir to the throne without your knowledge. Do you want me to be your servant?"

"No, Chengqian Palace is right now at the center of the storm, and the Emperor has his eyes on Chengqian Palace all the time. If we take action now, the Emperor will definitely notice it."

The queen quickly spoke up to stop him.

"Don't worry. This woman has been pregnant for ten months, and there is still a long time to go. Moreover, giving birth is a test of fate. If you are not careful, there may be two deaths, just like my sister."

The corners of the queen's mouth rose slightly, revealing a satisfied arc.

Shoukang Palace

"What do you think about today's events?"

The Queen Mother sat back beside the couch, threading Buddhist beads in her hand.

"I dare not say more."

Zhuxi knelt down and saluted, then spoke.

"You, why don't you tell me something? This must have been done by the Queen. How could Concubine Hua know any secret medicine from the previous dynasty?"

The Queen Mother put down the Buddhist beads in her hand, took a deep breath and said.

"The queen is becoming more and more impetuous. She dares to touch the daughter of the Fucha family at will. The Ulanara family cannot bear the wrath of the Fucha family. Will she not give up until she drags the entire family into this?"

The Fucha clan has been extremely powerful since they entered the Pass, and now members of the clan are spread throughout the court.

Although the Fucha clan has temporarily rested and recuperated because of the Nine Dragons' Succession Battle, this does not mean that the Ulanara clan, who only relied on the women in the harem to gain power, can provoke them at will.

"I feel a little uncomfortable in my head. Go and call the queen to take care of me."

The Queen Mother spoke to Zhuxi.

"Slave, go now."

Soon, the queen brought Jianqiu to Shoukang Palace.
