Chapter 53 Ascension



"Fourth sister-in-law? What's going on? Yonglian is here, come in quickly." Hong Zhou went out immediately after hearing the voice and brought Fu Cha Langya and Yonglian in.

"My Lord, Fourth Sister-in-law, this is."

"I'll take Yonglian in first, and you can talk to Fourth Sister-in-law."

"Yes." Hong Zhou took Yong Lian inside and mixed the flower dew that Hai Lan had saved with warm water for Yong Lian to drink. Yong Lian's pulse stabilized immediately.

"Don't worry, Fourth Sister-in-law. Hong Zhou will definitely cure Yong Lian." Fu Cha Lang Ya looked at Qing Ying's hand holding hers. The contrast was so clear. She knew that Hong Li's heart was always thinking about Qing Ying. She was jealous and resentful, but after all, Qing Ying was already the wife of Prince Heqin. Now, there was a difference between immortal and mortal.

Looking at Qingying now, she was truly a fairy who had descended to the mortal world with beauty and a kind heart. She could feel the gentleness emanating from her from the inside out, which calmed her flustered heart instantly.

More than ten years have passed, and she has become haggard and old because of the glory of the Fucha family and the things in the backyard of the prince's mansion. But the person in front of her is still as bright and lively as a young girl in her twenties, but the compassion in her eyes is as if Guanyin has come to the world, making people want to kowtow devoutly.

Fu Cha Langya calmed down, and Qingying had tea served.

"Mother." The twelve-year-old boy was so thin that it seemed as if only bones were left on his body.

"Yonglian!" Fucha Langya looked at Yonglian who had woken up and was able to walk to her. She hugged Yonglian and burst into tears. Hongzhou and Qingying left the space for the mother and son.

Yonglian was too weak to receive the Marrow Cleansing Pill, so he had to slowly recuperate with Flower Dew before taking the Body Strengthening Pill. This process was very long. Fu Cha Langya decided to let Yonglian stay in Caixia Garden.

"Where's Yonglian?"

"Your Majesty."

"I'm asking you about Yonglian?" Hongli was terribly gloomy at the moment. But when Fucha Langya looked at Hongli and thought about Hongzhou's treatment of Qingying, she felt that the first half of her life was too ridiculous.

"Yonglian's body needs to be nurtured, so he stays in Erxian Garden." Fu Cha Langya said calmly.

"Who told you to stay there? Who allowed you to leave Yonglian there? Fucha Langya! Bang!" Hongli threw the teacup off the table. The scalding tea splashed on her feet, and the splashing fragments cut her hand. But Fucha Langya just sat quietly, without panic or argument.

"Go ahead."

"Your Highness, what do you want me to say? How many times have you seen Yonglian since he was born? You raised him with great difficulty. Do you want me to watch Yonglian die?"

"How dare you! He is my son. He has the best doctors, the best medicine, and everything else. It's his fate that he can't survive."

"Heh, but some people can defy fate and change their destiny!"

"You look down on me, and you look down on me too. Why, why, why? She belongs to me, and everything should belong to me." Hongli smashed things crazily. Fucha Langya stood aside silently to protect herself.

When she first saw the Fourth Prince in Jiangxuexuan, she was attracted by his handsome appearance and became his wife with great joy. However, in the end, this man was far from being as handsome as she had imagined, and was not a good husband. Now she envied Qingying for not being able to enter the palace. With the prince's selfish and mean nature, she would eventually die in the backyard.

Never mind, it’s nothing to be envied, as she also carries the glory of the Fucha family.

After Hongli finished going crazy, Fucha Langya calmly had someone clean up the mess.

"Your Highness, you and I are now one, husband and wife, sharing our glory. The Third Prince has been adopted, and the Sixth Prince died young. Prince Heqin has sought immortality, and you, Your Highness, are the only one who has shown filial piety to the Emperor. However, Your Highness, Prince Heqin presented the elixir to the Emperor, and the Emperor is now in good health. Even the uncles can now be employed. Your Highness, the example of the Second Uncle is still fresh in my mind."

"Why are you saying this? What else can I think of now?"

"Your Highness, as the saying goes, the one who tied the bell must untie it. It is the Prince of Heqin who has kept the Emperor healthy. So..."

"Do you think Lao Wu can help me harm the Emperor?"

"Of course not, Your Highness, haven't you ever been tempted? Immortality, ascension in broad daylight. Now is the perfect time for us to connect Yonglian with my fifth brother. You should come to the palace more often and tell the Emperor more about my fifth brother's life. Your Highness, no matter how good the elixir is, the Emperor has already passed the age of sixty and will soon be seventy."

"The one who understands me is Langya." Hongli held Fucha Langya's hand.

"What the prince wants is what Langya wishes." Her face was full of affection, but Langya's heart was very calm. Returning to her own courtyard, Langya dismissed everyone. She had never been so calm before.

When she thinks carefully about these years, everything seems to be incongruous. But she is Fu Cha Langya. What is she afraid of? The men of the Fu Cha family have worked hard to earn the glory, but what she is doing now is to bring discredit to the Fu Cha family.

The next day, Hongli rode to Caixia Garden as soon as he finished court. Meanwhile, Fucha Langya wrote a letter to her uncle and returned Su Lian to the Fucha Mansion. She also summoned Gao Xiyue, claiming the bracelet was old and removed it, and gave her a new warm jade bracelet. She vigorously tidied up the backyard.

Hongli only saw Qingying once every five or six visits to Caixia Garden, and only from a distance, always with a respectful glance. But the more Hongli saw her, the more he couldn't let her go. He even dreamed that Qingying was a goddess from the Moon Palace, descending to earth to meet him daily. He wanted to be emperor, and only then would Qingying be his!

Six months later, Yonglian recovered. Hongzhou sent Yonglian back to Prince Bao's residence. Hongzhou also took Qingying out to travel. Cultivation cannot be achieved in isolation; accumulating merit is essential. As for faith and incense, they dared not touch them at all.

Hong Zhou, along with Qing Ying, traveled the world treating patients and dispensing medicine, combating floods, and punishing corrupt officials. He also took in two young apprentices. Whenever he arrived at a place, he would deliver letters and local specialties to Yongzheng and Concubine Yu. Furthermore, Hong Li would sometimes praise his fifth brother's carefree lifestyle, and sometimes say he also wanted to cultivate immortality.
