Chapter 127 Chenghu's High Fever Remains
"That's wonderful, Your Majesty. Thank you for your trouble." Fanghua wouldn't refuse.
Whether Consort Sun regains favor or not is irrelevant to her. Even if she does regain favor, can she possibly surpass her, the Empress?
"Then the Empress can reward me handsomely," Kangxi replied without any politeness.
Fanghua rolled her eyes at him. This man, wasn't he afraid of harming his body?
You know, ever since that poisoning incident, his health has been far worse than before.
"Never serious."
····
Sun finally managed to send the letter out of the palace, but after waiting and waiting, her family still hadn't come to rescue her.
She became anxious, fearing that her letter had not been delivered out of the palace, so she sent someone to find Consort Cao.
Yes, Consort Cao has been promoted to the rank of Changzai for her meritorious service in serving the emperor.
“Your Highness, Consort Cao resides in the rear hall of Yikun Palace. This servant cannot stray too far and thus cannot see Consort Cao.” Xiao Lü was a palace maid assigned to Consort Sun by the Imperial Household Department.
It was obvious that this was an excuse, but Sun, like a fool, couldn't see through Xiao Lü's prevarication.
If it weren't for the generous gifts from the Sun family, she would have already used her connections to transfer away from Gyeongbokgung Palace.
Who wants to take care of Sun's body?
Previously, the Imperial Household Department helped send a message out of the palace because they were all bondservants.
Little did they know that although Sun the wet nurse had entered the palace, she had not been of any use and had been expelled from the palace by the empress.
It's just that Gyeongbokgung Palace is remote, and they haven't received the news yet.
The bondservant class was a united group, but Sun was not the only bondervant to enter the palace; Cao was also among them, which naturally led to a bias.
To put it bluntly, Sun was the one who was abandoned.
If she still dares to cause trouble, she'll likely only face certain death.
"Then find my family. I refuse to believe that the Emperor will ignore me once he finds out." Consort Sun really thinks too highly of herself.
Little Green was speechless.
Previously, because of this connection with the Sun family, everyone had a very high opinion of the Sun family.
But what was the result?
"Yes, Your Highness. Please have your meal first. I will go to the Imperial Kitchen to deliver a message to Chief Steward Wuya shortly."
Mrs. Sun nodded, indicating that she was satisfied with her answer.
Unfortunately, what she didn't know was that news of Sun's expulsion from the palace had already spread. Not only the bondservant families, but even the Cao family had repeatedly instructed Sun not to get involved in the matter anymore.
The Sun family was abandoned by the bondservantes.
Fanghua's control over the harem was so absolute that even stones could be used as ears.
The commotion at Gyeongbokgung Palace was immediately reported to Yi Changbok.
Li Changfu didn't think much of it and reported it directly to the Empress.
Upon learning this, Fanghua waved her hand, "Don't worry about it, it won't cause any trouble." Since the Emperor had spoken, she would no longer concern herself with this matter.
"Just keep an eye on things and make sure they don't cause any big commotion. Also, let Consort Cao know. I believe she can make a wise choice." Consort Cao is a smart woman.
Otherwise, after all this time, she wouldn't have gone to their door to plead for mercy.
It was precisely because she was so clear-headed that Fanghua let things go unchecked.
If she were truly petty, Cao would never be allowed to serve the emperor.
"yes."
Li Changfu accepted the order and left.
Fanghua didn't care about any of these trivial matters.
She was interested in the effects of Xiao Dezi taking so many of her internal energy pills and wanted to know how things were going over there.
So he sent Xiaofeng to take a look.
Seeing Fanghua return made my heart ache.
Not only was she in pain, but Xiaofeng was in pain too.
Xiao Dezi is truly a talent; he actually used internal energy pills as a foundation for martial arts training to lay the groundwork for those secret guards.
Xiao Feng was alarmed by the daily expenses, but fortunately, each one brought unexpected gains.
I encountered several talented individuals who not only cultivated their own internal energy but also broke through bottlenecks thanks to the internal energy pills.
Even Fanghua was envious.
However, to make further progress, we need the assistance of more potent internal energy pills.
Fanghua sent Xiaofeng to refine the medicine pills, and she decided to stay with her son.
At Yikun Palace, Li Changfu had someone leak the news to Consort Cao.
At this moment, Cao Changzai was filled with shock.
Their little schemes couldn't escape the Empress's notice. "We don't need to concern ourselves with this matter anymore. If we receive any letters from home asking about it, just say that I couldn't see the Emperor and therefore couldn't plead for Consort Sun."
She can clearly distinguish between what's good for herself and what's good for others.
Compared to saving Sun Yingying, her own future was more important to her.
"My lady, if that's the case, what should we say to the Second Madam?"
The servants who attended to Cao were members of the Cao family who had been brought in using their connections.
After all, a concubine cannot bring her own people into the palace. If she wants a close attendant by her side, she has to use some tricks.
Rain was very worried, after all, she was also a member of the Cao family and naturally knew about the affairs of the mansion.
"It's alright. If the Emperor doesn't stand up for Second Aunt this time, she'll probably back down." She always knew what Second Aunt relied on. As long as the Emperor didn't step in, no one could do anything about Consort Sun's matter.
It's just that the Sun family couldn't see through it, which is why they let Second Aunt enter the palace.
Although she didn't know how her second aunt had offended the Empress, it was not a good thing for her; she understood the principle that one's honor is the honor of all.
It seems that next time the Emperor summons her to his bedchamber, she'll have to put in a good word for her second aunt.
I hope the Emperor will let this matter go, considering that my second aunt was his grandmother.
“Write a letter to my parents, telling them to keep an eye on my second aunt and make sure she doesn’t do anything that would harm the family.”
Although their family was favored by the emperor because of their second aunt, they still overstepped their bounds this time.
Restoring the Emperor's trust is the most important thing.
“Yes, I’ve got it.” Rain Water nodded in response.
Everything seemed to have been put on pause, and life went on peacefully.
Fanghua is now only worried about her son's death. As long as he survives this year and overcomes the death calamity of his previous life, Chenghu's fate will be changed.
But Fanghua's worries were premature.
Just as the sweltering heat was about to pass, Chenghu suddenly developed a high fever. This was the first time Chenghu had been sick since birth, and Fanghua's mind was in a complete mess.
Thinking of everything that happened in her previous life, Fanghua felt a tightness in her chest.
The prince's high fever immediately prompted the Kunning Palace to be brightly lit day and night.
"Xiao Feng, why are you sick? Quickly check if Cheng Hu has caught it." Fang Hua, very worried, went to Xiao Feng because her high fever wouldn't go down.
Upon learning this, Xiao Feng immediately checked on the young master and found him to be fine. It was just bone and muscle remodeling, and the high fever was inevitable. However, despite explaining this to him many times, the young master simply refused to believe it.
"Master, the young master is alright. This is a necessary process for body tempering, much like the marrow cleansing in cultivation." Only the young master has such an opportunity; others don't have this luck.
"Washing tendons and marrow, what does that mean?" My son just soaks in medicinal baths to practice martial arts, so what does "washing tendons and marrow" mean now?
Looking at the spiritual energy surrounding its young master, Xiao Feng didn't know how to explain it to him.
After all, this is the awakening of a spiritual root. If they can survive it, everything will be fine; but if they can't, then the young master will be in trouble...
It can be considered a test of defying fate.
Whether or not it will pass depends entirely on fate. Fate cannot be defied. If Heaven is willing to accept the young master's transformation, then the young master will surely be able to walk a supreme path in the future.
