Chapter Twenty-Five: The Legend of Zhen Huan - Fang Jiachunyi 25
Moreover, Hongxu and Hongyang are princes, and Jingshu is one of the auspicious dragon and phoenix.
Hongyang was weak, and Consort Wan was intelligent, so Hongxu and Jingshu, who were too young to remember things, were better choices for Consort Duan.
She had acted too well, and Consort Duan actually thought she was simple-minded.
I thought she was able to give birth smoothly only because of the Emperor's favor and Consort Xin's protection; she herself had no scheming whatsoever.
She wanted to bribe someone to tamper with her food, but she already had control over the palace servants in Yongshou Palace.
She knew from the moment she tried to bribe someone that she was just testing what she was up to.
Consort Jing's designs on Wen Yi were also partly due to her interference; she deliberately let Consort Jing know about Consort Xiang's affairs.
Killing two birds with one stone would be easier, since without Consort Duan, Wenyi would fall into Consort Jing's hands, and she didn't want anyone to take advantage of her.
The Cold Palace —
Hearing the news of Consort Duan's death and her posthumous conferment of the title of Noble Consort Duanshun.
Songzhi laughed heartily, but as she laughed, tears streamed down her face.
"Your Majesty, you hated Consort Duan the most when you were alive. This servant took her away for you. It's a pity that Consort Duan was buried with the rites of a Noble Consort. But it can be considered as avenging you and the young prince."
In my next life, I don't want to marry into the royal family again. That harem... it's a den of cannibals!"
With a 'bang,' the master and servant ended their lives in the same way.
In Jingyang Palace, the terminally ill Consort Xiang proposed to the Emperor that after her death, Princess Wenyi should be entrusted to Consort Jing for upbringing.
Out of guilt towards Consort Jing and out of Consort Xiang's love for her daughter, the Emperor agreed.
Consort Xiang was overjoyed. After arranging everything, she closed her eyes. The Emperor posthumously conferred upon her the title of Consort Xiang, while Princess Wenyi was sent to Xianfu Palace.
"Princess Wenyi is so lovely and has inherited the best features of both the Emperor and Consort Xiang."
Watching Wen Yi playing with Hong Xu and Jing Shu, Fang Jiachun raised her eyebrows, her expression slightly teasing.
Consort Xiang could only be described as pretty, while the Emperor was more imposing and dignified, with a dignified appearance but not exactly handsome. Princess Wenyi, on the other hand, looked like a beauty in the making.
“Princess Wenyi is indeed beautiful; I wonder which young master will be lucky enough to marry her in the future.” After a pause, Consort Jing lowered her eyes.
"I don't know why Consort Duanshun's health deteriorated so quickly, even though she had shown some improvement before."
"Sister, you're overthinking it. I only let Consort Xiang know that Consort Wan was plotting against her, and I also wanted to help Consort Duan Shun raise her Wen Yi."
Consort Xiang was not so magnanimous as to let her daughter become a bargaining chip for her enemy to make friends with others.
As for the death of Consort Duanshun… I heard that on the day she passed away, Consort Qiao from the Cold Palace also went there, and someone vaguely heard her muttering about Imperial Noble Consort Dunsu and the young prince.”
Fang Jiachun not only showed no guilt, but also had a somewhat sorrowful expression on her face.
"That's right. Consort Dunsu hates Consort Duanshun to the extreme. Every time she remembers the little prince, she goes to humiliate Consort Duanshun. Consort Qiao is indeed loyal. It's truly a case of one bite for another."
Consort Jing breathed a sigh of relief. Although she knew that Fang Jiachun had no reason to harm Consort Duanshun, the timing of Consort Duanshun's visit was too coincidental.
Now that I have the answer, I can finally relax.
She wasn't afraid that Fang Jiachun was trying to deceive her; she could find out by asking around.
Moreover, Fang Jiachunyi had no grudge against Consort Duanshun, and would not harm Consort Duanshun simply because she wanted Wenyi.
Fang Jiachun: I have a grudge, a deep grudge! She treated me like a fool, trying to take the mother away and keep the child! {cursing and swearing jpg.}
She doesn't have that much influence, and Fang Jiachun seems like a lazy person.
