When Cai Xiang returned from Changchun Palace, she found Consort Fucha standing at the entrance of the side hall, as if waiting for her. "Consort... what are you doing standing here? It's hot. I'll go find you a palm-leaf fan to cool you down," Cai Xiang said hurriedly as she ran over.

"Wait, where have you been? You've been gone for so long!" Lady Fucha looked at Caixiang, her personal maid, who didn't even acknowledge her when she left.

Cai Xiang panicked, thinking that her trip to Changchun Palace had been exposed. On the surface, she still pretended to be calm. "Your Excellency, I went to the Imperial Household Department to check your half-month allowance. You don't know these people. As long as you don't keep an eye on them, they will definitely take some out for themselves."

Hearing Cai Xiang say this, Lady Fucha decided not to pursue the matter further. "Come with me to Chuxiu Palace and see Consort Fang and Consort Shu."

"Your Highness, why are you still going to Chuxiu Palace? Aren't they no longer of any use to you?" Caixiang asked, puzzled. Was Fucha about to make another move?

Fucha gave Caixiang a meaningful look. “Caixiang, you’re usually quite clever, so why are you being so stupid today? Although Consort Fang and Consort Shu don’t know that I gave Consort Sun the soul-snatching drug, they have some dealings with me after all. When Lanqin takes them in for questioning, I want them to know what they can and cannot say.”

Cai Xiang helped Lady Fucha to Chuxiu Palace. When Consort Fang and Shumulu heard that Lady Fucha had arrived, they both became more vigilant. After all, they still clearly remembered how Consort Sun had entered the Shenxing Division last time.

"I wonder what brings Consort Fucha here today?" Consort Fang didn't want to have any more dealings with her, and Consort Fucha sensed the unfamiliarity in Consort Fang's tone. "It's been a long time since I've come to see you, so I've come especially to visit you today."

"Oh, Consort Fucha has the leisure to visit us today. She's been quite busy these past few days!" Shumulu no longer cared that she was a consort. Anyway, he couldn't gain the Emperor's favor in Chuxiu Palace, so he didn't care about offending a consort.

Lady Fucha looked displeased, but did not want to break off relations. "I am here today to remind my two younger sisters that Consort Xi hates anyone who tries to compete with her for the Emperor's favor. Consort Sun ended up like this because she wanted to win the Emperor's favor. So you must never let her know that you have had such thoughts."

Consort Fang and Shumulu were taken aback by Lady Fucha's words. Lady Fucha continued, "So, you know whether you should say these things or not?" The two consorts knew that although Lady Fucha was reminding them on the surface, she was actually threatening them not to speak carelessly in front of Consort Xi.

Both women nodded in agreement, having already witnessed the formidable power of Consort Xi. Seeing their cooperation, Lady Fucha did not linger and was about to leave when Consort Fang stopped her.

"My lord, can Consort Sun still be saved?" As sisters, Consort Fang didn't want her to go to the Censorate like this. Lady Fucha glanced at Consort Pu Sun and moved her lips. "That depends on her own fate!" After saying that, she turned and left.

“Alas, Consort Sun is truly pitiful. If she hadn’t befriended this Noble Lady Fucha, she wouldn’t be in this predicament today,” Consort Fang said.
