Lingxiu was unaware that Lady Fucha was a reborn person, and naturally knew nothing about Lady Fucha's experiences.
After finally calming her unease, Lady Fucha noticed Lingxiu's suspicion and rallied her spirits to comfort her, saying, "Miss, don't worry, I'm really fine. You just said that Her Majesty the Empress wanted to deal with Consort Nian?"
Lingxiu sighed helplessly, "Yes, now that Consort Xi is no longer in the palace, only Consort Nian and Her Majesty the Empress remain. As long as Consort Nian is gone, Her Majesty the Empress can rest easy. We all depend on Her Majesty the Empress for our livelihood, so naturally we must think of Her Majesty's best interests..."
Although Empress Fucha disagreed with Lingxiu's words, she could only rely on the Empress in the current situation. In order to gain the Empress's help, Empress Fucha whispered to Lingxiu, "There is only one way to cut off Consort Nian's path... that is to prevent Prince Hongfu from becoming the Crown Prince..."
Lingxiu was overjoyed. She looked around and whispered in Fucha's ear, "Her Majesty the Empress also had the same idea..."
Fucha was startled, and a terrible thought appeared in her mind.
"Are you saying that Her Majesty the Empress also wants the young prince dead?" Fucha asked calmly, secretly clenching her fists to hide her nervousness.
Lingxiu nodded and replied, "The Emperor has been hesitant about who should be the Crown Prince. Consort Xi has unfortunately angered the Emperor this time, so her son naturally has no chance. That leaves only the young prince and the Empress's Hongshi. If the young prince is too young and frail and unfortunately dies young, who do you think will be the Crown Prince?"
Fucha suppressed her inner fear and slowly smiled, "Yes, you are right, young lady... At this time, Her Majesty the Empress will definitely try her best to make Hongshi sit on the throne of Crown Prince... So Her Majesty the Empress will definitely be interested in what I have to say."
Lingxiu said, "Of course, Her Majesty the Empress cannot do this herself. If the Emperor finds out and takes his anger out on her, Her Majesty the Empress will be in danger. We must have a comprehensive plan to ensure that nothing goes wrong..."
Fucha's face hardened, and she gritted her teeth, muttering to herself, "It would be best to find a scapegoat to do everything for me before being executed. That way, no one will ever find out, because the dead can't speak..."
Lingxiu didn't hear clearly, so she nudged Fucha and asked, "What did you just say? What the hell?"
Empress Fucha took a deep breath, stiffly turned around, and said, "No... I'm trying to think of a solution for Her Majesty the Empress..."
Lingxiu said, "Well, take your time thinking about it. I'll come again... As long as you can help Her Majesty the Empress achieve her goal, you won't have to spend all day and night washing clothes in the Laundry Department..."
After Lingxiu left the Xin Zhe Ku (a place for palace maids), Empress Fucha raised her head and sneered, "Your Majesty the Empress would never have imagined that even the dead can speak... In my previous life, I died without knowing why, but now I understand. It was all your doing... You framed me and made me your scapegoat. Heaven gave me a second chance to punish you, hahaha... I finally understand..."
Watching Lingxiu's departing figure, Empress Fucha, thinking of everything Consort Nian and the Empress had done to her, gritted her teeth in hatred. She secretly vowed never to let the two of them live in peace again; even if it meant eternal damnation, she would drag Consort Nian and the Empress down to hell with her. Thus, a complete plan took shape in her mind, and Lingxiu was perhaps an indispensable pawn in this plan…
