Just as she was dreaming of a loving marriage with the emperor, she suddenly realized that everything had changed and that the emperor had fallen in love with Lanqin.
The thought of Consort Xi, who had stolen her favor, made Lady Fucha tremble with hatred. She remembered that in her previous life, Consort Xi was always timid and submissive, and the Emperor didn't like her at all. However, because she had entered the palace early, he eventually gave her the title of Consort.
Lanqin in this life is completely different from her previous life, and Lady Fucha wonders if she has also been reborn.
After finally getting rid of Nian Shilan, the Emperor has fallen for Consort Xi. Why, why? Why won't the Emperor even glance at her, even though I love him so much?
She had fallen in love with him even before she married him in her previous life. She had only seen him by chance at a palace banquet, and his calm and composed eyes had captured her heart. She recalled his handsome face several times, and even as a young girl, she couldn't help but blush.
She inquired around and learned that he was Prince Yong, the emperor's son. From that moment on, she dreamed of marrying him, didn't she? Fucha asked herself.
Lady Fucha thought back to how excited she was to hear she could marry into Prince Yong's household, and how she couldn't sleep for days. Now that she thought about it, it was really laughable!
Empress Fucha stood before the palace gate and gave a wry smile, drawing the attention of the gatekeepers.
The maidservant whispered, "My esteemed lady."
Lady Fucha snapped out of her daze and wiped the bitter smile from her face.
Seeing that she seemed preoccupied, the maid asked with concern, "My lady, why did we come here?"
Lady Fucha ignored her and walked to the gate by herself, peering inside.
She recalled that she had lived here in her previous life. Back then, the Fourth Prince doted on her, which aroused Lady Nian's jealousy. She was falsely accused of killing the young prince and was beaten to death.
Every corner here holds precious memories for her and the Emperor. This is the place she loves and hates the most. She can't help but hate Consort Nian again, for it was she who destroyed the precious memories between her and the Emperor.
Empress Fucha took off a ring from her hand and said to her maid, "Go and give this to the gatekeeper. Tell him that I want to go in and take a look."
The maid went over and gave the ring to the gatekeeper.
The gatekeeper looked at him and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but you can't stay too long, or you'll be discovered."
Empress Fucha said, "Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you. I know what I'm doing."
The gatekeeper, having accepted the bribe, let them in. Empress Fucha arrived at the palace where she had lived in her previous life. As soon as she entered the courtyard, seeing the place that hadn't been cleaned in so long, a pang of pain shot through her heart. How beautiful and luxurious it had once been! And now it had become like this.
She walked slowly in the courtyard, and with each step she took, she recalled the loving moments she had shared with Fourth Master, which made her heart ache.
"Someone come here! Clean this place up," Fucha ordered her servants.
The maid said, "My lord, why are we going to all this trouble to clean this place?"
Empress Fucha glared at her and said, "When have I ever needed to inform you of my actions? Who is the master, you or me?"
Upon hearing that Lady Fucha was angry, the maidservant quickly lowered her head and said, "Your Highness, please forgive me. I misspoke."
Empress Fucha ignored her and turned to walk towards her bedchamber. The maidservant found it strange, but dared not say anything more.
