The Reborn Noble Girl Is Hard To Find

Chapter 138 : Never Despair

Doctor Wu and Cheng Lei looked at each other, then they quietly withdrew, leaving the space for the two people. Han Yan and Fu Yun Xi must have a lot to say.

"Fu Yun Xi," Han Yan asked, "How is your cold poison?"

As soon as the three words "Fu Yun Xi" came out, Han Yan paused slightly, and Fu Yun Xi was the same. When they were together before, whenever Han Yan got carried away, she would call him by his name, not the cold 'Your Highness' or 'Prince'. There was no politeness and alienation, but only subtle intimacy. After such a long time, hearing Han Yan call him like this again, Fu Yun Xi actually felt as if he was in another world.

"For now," he said, "I won't die yet."

Han Yan turned her head and looked at him. Although this handsome young man was bedridden, he was still very charming and had no sense of depression. It seemed that nothing in this world could stump him, but this man could not even control his own destiny.

She didn't know what to say, and it seemed that she didn't need to say anything. After knowing the truth, even explanations were redundant. She had been holding Fu Yun Xi's sleeve stubbornly, as if she was afraid that he would run away, and as if to calm her inner uneasiness. Fu Yun Xi also noticed her action and took the initiative to reach out and cover her little hand. Although Fu Yun Xi's hand was cold, Han Yan seemed to feel a hint of warmth. This made her confused heart calm down a lot.

"Can you tell me about the cold poison?" Han Yan asked after a long while.

Fu Yun Xi paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Alright." Then he began to slowly tell the story of the past that had been buried deep in his heart for many years and had never been told to anyone else.

Fu Yun Xi's biological mother, Concubine Jing, is a great beauty, which can be seen from the appearance of Fu Yun Xi and the Emperor. Both Fu Yun Xi and his brother inherited their mother's excellent appearance. Concubine Jing is kind and gentle by nature, and exists like a lotus in the palace. Such a person is not suitable for survival in the palace, but Concubine Jing is an exception. Because the Emperor loves her very much, not only does the Enperor love her, but the Emperor's favor alone is not enough.

The Emperor cannot control the affairs of the harem, but Concubine Jing's blessing is that the Empress Dowager at that time also liked Concubine Jing very much. The majesty of the Empress Dowager in the palace is unquestionable, so no one dared to touch Concubine Jing.

Concubine Jing was gentle and did not compete for favor. The more she was like this, the more the Emperor liked her. But the Emperor's favor was not always a good thing. The women in the harem were jealous of her, and the Empress was the worst.

As the Empress of the six palaces, she had to maintain a virtuous and tolerant appearance on days, but this did not mean that the Empress would tolerate any woman occupying the Emperor. In particular, the Emperor's favor for Concubine Jing had made the Empress feel a sense of crisis, making her feel that her guard was somewhat unstable. After Concubine Jing gave birth to two sons for the Emperor, when she was about to give birth to the third son, the Empress finally couldn't sit still.

The Empress herself has no sons, and the Emperor favors Concubine Jing. Now that Concubine Jing has given birth to sons for the Emperor one after another, her position is unshakable, and even surpasses that of the Empress privately. If the Emperor wants to make Concubine Jing's son the Crown Prince, her position will be in jeopardy. Could it be that she has worked hard all her life to play the role of a generous and virtuous Empress, but in the end she is just making things easier for others?

So when Concubine Jing was giving birth, she bribed the maidservant around Concubine Jing and lit a scent in Concubine Jing's room. The scent contained musk, which could cause miscarriage and infertility. Concubine Jing loved spices, and the various spices mixed together could not be smelled. How did the Empress bribe the maidservants around Concubine Jing? It was nothing more than coercion and inducement. The people around Concubine Jing were as simple as Concubine Jing, and the Empress could easily control them. Two months before Concubine Jing gave birth, the Empress went to Wutai mountain, under the pretext of praying for the baby in Concubine Jing's belly. Because the Empress was not there on the night when Concubine Jing had the accident, there was no evidence.
