Chapter 91 She Wants to Go on a Hunger Strike
Fu Danjun understood that they were all pitiful people and patiently explained, "I don't have any secrets, and I didn't teach Zhang Shangyue either. Don't believe the rumors."
"Sister, please have pity on us."
More than ten palace concubines knelt down together and cried.
Fu Danjun persuaded them one by one and pulled them up: "Don't worry, wait for me to persuade the emperor."
When the palace concubines heard this, their eyes were filled with anticipation.
In the evening, when Xie Changsheng came, Fu Danjun pushed him out: "Other women are waiting for you, go find them."
These days, Xie Changsheng was considerate of her poor health and slept soundly.
He hoped that Fu Danjun would get better and satisfy him like before.
Who knew she pushed him out, and he couldn't help but say angrily: "I gave you face? You bastard!"
Seeing that he was angry, Fu Danjun stopped and said, "I am a bastard woman, and you are a bastard emperor."
Xie Changsheng suppressed his emotions and didn't get angry with her: "We've been so harmonious these past few days, what happened today?"
Fu Danjun sighed and said, "Your concubines came to me in a group, crying and sobbing, all because you didn't favor them."
Xie Changsheng was stunned for a moment, then relieved: "So that's how it is. I was wondering what happened."
Fu Danjun couldn't help but say angrily, "Is this a trivial matter? So many women have wasted their youth for you, don't you feel any guilt at all?"
Xie Changsheng's face darkened: "They don't have to come. The audition is voluntary."
This sentence left Fu Danjun speechless, and he realized that what Xie Changsheng said was right!
These women in the harem all participated in the selection voluntarily. Although they might have been forced by their parents and relatives, Xie Changsheng could not be blamed in any way.
So she shrugged dejectedly: "Okay, just forget I said anything."
Xie Changsheng rushed over, pinched her chin, and scolded her harshly: "Wrong is wrong, you're going to eat it back after you spit it out?"
Fu Danjun had no choice but to kneel down and kowtow: "This servant was wrong, this servant deserves to die!"
Xie Changsheng deliberately said: "Drag him out and torture him to death!"
Eunuch Chang knew it was fake, so he agreed: "Yes, sir!"
When Fu Danjun heard this, he jumped up in anger and ran towards the wall.
She also knew that the death penalty by slicing was just a rant, so she pretended to hit her head against the wall to save herself.
Xie Changsheng saw her rushing towards the wall and flew over to block her. "From which life is this enemy coming to torture me?"
He hugged Fu Danjun in agony and helplessness, and Fu Danjun took the opportunity to burst into tears: "I don't want to live anymore, I want to die."
Fu Danjun cried and made a fuss, tearing Xie Changsheng's clothes.
Eunuch Chang was afraid that the emperor would be embarrassed and lose face, so he quickly withdrew.
Xie Changsheng had softened his heart, but his way of comforting Fu Danjun was rough and direct.
Otherwise, he would have no better means to push her onto the couch and have physical contact with her.
Fu Danjun was dumbfounded. How did it become a daytime affair?
"Your Majesty, don't do this..."
How could Xie Changsheng stop being so excited?
Zhang Shangyue came to look for Fu Danjun, but was stopped by Eunuch Chang and refused to let her in: "The Emperor is inside, it's not convenient."
Zhang Shangyue was very surprised, thinking, what if the emperor was in there?
Then there was a crackling sound from inside, as if porcelain was breaking.
Seeing that she didn't leave, Eunuch Chang could only remind her: "The Emperor and Miss Fu are making love, and it won't stop for a few hours."
Zhang Shangyue came to her senses and blushed, "It's broad daylight, this is too much."
Eunuch Chang quickly waved his hands: "You can't say such things. Concubine Zhou was executed a few days ago. Isn't this a warning?"
Zhang Shangyue shuddered with fear and quickly walked away.
The next day, more concubines came to Fu Danjun to seek advice.
Some people originally thought that the emperor was ill and could not visit his concubines.
Now, after Zhang Shangyue's exaggeration, all doubts have been dispelled.
Fu Danjun was so annoyed that he could only say, "I never take the initiative. It's always the emperor who forces me, so I really have no experience."
In an instant, the concubines all sighed and expressed their disbelief.
Fu Danjun had no choice but to wait until they left on their own.
Then, she thought about it and decided that she couldn't continue living like this.
Xie Changsheng came again in the evening, and Fu Danjun took advantage of his cheerfulness to ask, "When will you let me leave?"
Xie Changsheng's face darkened instantly: "I never intended to let you go, so give up as soon as possible."
Fu Danjun hung his head in displeasure, causing Xie Changsheng to lose his good mood as well: "Fool, is there any place better than the Imperial Palace? Under my protection, you can get anything you want."
Fu Danjun remained silent with her head bowed. Xie Changsheng hooked his finger under her chin and said, "You're worried about your parents, right? I can send them a letter and tell them you're fine."
Fu Danjun took the opportunity to say, "Why don't I go back and see them?"
Xie Changsheng shook his head in denial: "You running in and out, running around, will cause discussion."
Fu Danjun clenched his fists and mustered up the courage to say, "I don't like the palace. I want to live a free and easy life."
Although it was natural, Fu Danjun didn't dare to look up at Xie Changsheng.
She knew Xie Changsheng would be angry and sad.
Xie Changsheng's expression was indeed gloomy, and he warned, "How you want to live your life is not up to you, but I have the final say!"
Fu Danjun already knew the outcome, but he still felt a chill in his heart: "Your Majesty, if you truly love me..."
Before he could finish his words, Xie Changsheng stopped him with a gesture: "No, I don't love you, don't get me wrong!"
Seeing this, Fu Danjun could only cry aggrievedly: "Wuwuwu..."
Xie Changsheng sat down calmly and waited for her to finish crying.
Fu Danjun cried for a long time but felt bored, so she lay down on the bed and said, "From now on, I'm on a hunger strike."
Xie Changsheng sipped his tea leisurely: "I'm starving to death. What about your parents, brother and sister-in-law?"
Fu Danjun's eyes darkened and he sighed, "Why don't you think about it? There are already so many lonely beauties in the harem, why add me?"
Xie Changsheng snorted and laughed: "If you still feel lonely, then I will come every day."
Fu Danjun suddenly jumped up and asked mysteriously, "What if those women are jealous of me and poison me? Just like what happened to that little Concubine Zhou last time?"
Xie Changsheng was reminded and said suddenly, "That's right. Wait until I give you a few maids and ask them to taste every bite of food first."
Fu Danjun shook his head and smiled bitterly: "If it is a chronic poison, there is no way to test it out. Besides, I am not a concubine and do not deserve such treatment."
Xie Changsheng suddenly became irritated: "That's enough! It's not over yet, is it?"
Fu Danjun lay back down on the bed and said, "I'd better go on a hunger strike. I can't care what my parents, brother, and sister-in-law do to me."
Xie Changsheng ignored her and walked away with a sullen face.
The next day, Fu Danjun refused to eat or drink and began a hunger strike.
She also knew that she wouldn't starve to death, and Xie Changsheng would help if necessary.
But if I don’t show my determination like this, when will I be able to leave the palace and go home to see my parents?
Two days later, Fu Danjun could no longer hold on.
She was now so hungry that she wanted to chew mud to fill her stomach, and just then two maids brought her some snacks.
