Empress Fucha looked up at the Empress, who clearly didn't want her to ask any more questions.
Empress Fucha knew that the Empress was not a kind person, so she had no choice but to avert her gaze, lower her head and respectfully reply, "Yes, Your Majesty, this concubine takes her leave." After saying that, she withdrew.
Since she still needs the Empress to deal with Nian Gengyao, she cannot afford to become enemies with the Empress.
"Hmph! You won't be powerful for long. Once I bring down Consort Xi, you'll be next."
Fucha thought angrily and then turned to leave.
"Don't forget what happened to the Nian family."
The Empress spoke slowly behind her, a calm sentence that made Lady Fucha tremble. How could she know what she was thinking?
Empress Fucha felt that the Empress seemed to see right through her, from head to toe, and even her most shameful thoughts were exposed in front of the Empress!
Then, she sighed inwardly. The Empress was indeed far superior to her. The Empress, having managed the harem for so many years, possessed abilities that were not easily acquired by ordinary people. It seemed she would have to be more careful in the future and treat her with utmost respect.
Watching her departing figure, the Empress angrily smashed her teacup on the ground and said, "You vile woman, you don't even know your own situation yet you dare to threaten me!"
The old woman quickly squatted down and picked up the broken teacup pieces, saying, "Your Highness, don't be angry. She's just a pawn. If you don't like her, just get rid of her."
"She's still useful. I need her to deal with Consort Xi," the Empress said bitterly.
Only after leaving the Empress's Jingren Palace did Lady Fucha finally let out a long sigh of relief, and her body felt much lighter.
Now that Nian is half-dead, she has finally been able to vent her long-standing grievances. She is so happy that she is dizzy and can hardly stand.
Fortunately, the maid beside her was quick-witted and grabbed Fucha's arm, allowing Fucha to lean against her.
The maidservant glanced at her worriedly and whispered, "Your Highness, are you alright?"
Empress Fucha straightened up, flicked her sleeves, and said, "I'm fine."
Empress Fucha said to her maid, "Kouzhu, help me to a place."
The maidservant, Kouzhu, asked, "Your Highness, where are you going?"
Chengqian Palace.
The two arrived at Chengqian Palace. Standing in front of the palace gate, looking at the words on the plaque, memories of her past life flooded her mind. Scenes appeared before her eyes one after another, finally settling on the hateful face of Nian Shilan that she looked at before she died.
She remembers seeing her mother when she first woke up.
She thought she had gone to the underworld and seen her mother's ghost, and she couldn't help but cry, "Mother, I'm so wronged!"
Her mother held her and comforted her softly. Only then did she realize that she could touch her mother, which meant that it was all real.
She was given a second chance at life.
She initially thought she possessed some kind of magic, but later discovered she was just an ordinary person, no different from anyone else except for having lived two lifetimes.
Perhaps God saw her injustice and gave her a chance to start over.
It was at that moment that she vowed never to repeat the mistakes of her past life, and never again to be at the mercy of others as before.
She wanted to return to the Emperor's side, even though the Emperor wasn't the Emperor at the time. She tried every means to get close to the Fourth Prince, hoping to help him, the man she had loved for two lifetimes, the most important man in her life.
