Chapter 92 Suma's Funeral
"Why did my grandfather die of illness? Why does my father have a title but no merit? Why are my brothers born with obstacles? Do you really think I, the Hesheli clan, am a pushover?"
Fanghua's murderous aura was palpable as she spoke, "She even tried to suppress me. Seeing that I was pregnant and that it would threaten the imperial power, she actually dared to drug me. Haha, Su, do you know how your master got her headaches?"
What good is it for a dying person to know the truth?
She will not let her leave tonight.
"Yes, it's you." Su Ma was shocked. "How is this possible?" She looked at him in disbelief. "How did you do it?"
How did the Empress manage to keep such tight security around the princess?
The Imperial Household Department is also the master's people. When did the Empress's hand reach in?
All these questions are destined to remain unanswered.
Fanghua wouldn't explain to her, she just smiled and watched the crazed Su.
"Does it even matter anymore? After all, the dead cannot be brought back to life." Fanghua laughed heartily. "You and your servant schemed so much, but you didn't expect the mantis to be lurking behind you."
"I've said enough, Su, what's your choice?" Fanghua smiled like a devil. "If you don't choose, then I don't mind making the choice for you."
"You don't want the Empress Dowager to be implicated, do you?"
After saying that, she squatted down, looked Su Ma in the eye, and let her make a choice.
"How dare you? That's the Empress Dowager! The Emperor will not allow you to do this." If something happens to the Empress Dowager, all the princess's plans in her life will be in vain, and she will be the sinner.
The Empress Dowager must not be harmed.
"Your Majesty, Su, after he chose to conceal the fact that you poisoned me, do you think Your Majesty still has a place in my heart?" Fanghua said with a laugh.
Su Ma felt a chill run down her spine. The Empress was terrifying, so terrifying.
They all underestimated the Queen.
Princess, you've judged countless people in your life, but unfortunately, you've misjudged this one.
The empress is a devil who eats people without spitting out the bones.
"I don't have time to waste with you. If you don't make a choice, I'll choose for you." Fanghua's eyes flashed with malice, all her smile vanished, leaving only a fierce look in her eyes.
Su Ma's eyes were lifeless. She knew she had broken her promise and could not fulfill the princess's entrustment to her.
"I can die, but you are not allowed to touch the Empress Dowager. Otherwise, I will haunt you even as a ghost." Su Ma said these harsh words before she died.
In Fanghua's eyes, it was nothing more than a dying struggle, a clown.
"Threatening me?" Fanghua glared down at her angrily. "I'm not afraid of being a person, let alone dying. You can pray that I'm a person of my word."
"You have no choice but to gamble."
Suma knew he had no other choice.
She gave a bitter laugh. "This servant understands. Your Highness is a person of your word, and this servant has always known this."
Next, Fanghua watched as Su Ma brushed away the dirt and wrinkles from her clothes, then tidied her hair, and then lit the last stick of incense for her princess.
After offering incense, she looked at the palace where she had lived for many years, and then she directly rammed her head against the coffin of the Empress Dowager.
Blood splattered everywhere, some even landing on Fanghua's dress, but Fanghua was nowhere to be seen.
After Su Ma passed away, she went forward to check on her and then left this unlucky place.
She slept soundly through the night, and when she awoke, news of Su Ma's suicide had spread throughout the palace.
It is said that the Emperor personally went to collect Su Ma's body, and then ordered the Imperial Astronomical Bureau to find an auspicious place and time for her burial. At this time, she was also placed in the Cining Palace.
"His Majesty is indeed overflowing with filial piety." What she didn't say was that he was just a servant, yet he treated him like an elder. She wondered if the ancestors of the Aisin Gioro clan would be so angry that they would jump out of their tombs if they saw this.
"Your Majesty." Upon hearing her mistress's words, Zhang Mama immediately interrupted, "You must not speak recklessly."
"Granny, has His Majesty ordered anyone from the harem to go and offer condolences?" Fanghua waved her hand dismissively and asked.
If he does something inhuman, she wouldn't mind dirtying Su Ma's reincarnation.
"No, not at all." Zhang Mama shook her head after hearing this. "However, after the Imperial Concubine went there, some lower-ranking concubines in the harem also went to offer incense."
Fanghua's delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly, then relaxed a moment later.
Although she didn't know why Niohuru would go, she knew that the Imperial Concubine had no feelings for Suma, so even if she went, it couldn't be for anything else; she was probably just there to watch the spectacle.
Those low-ranking concubines are all clueless; how could she possibly stop them from becoming filial sons to the servants?
Anyway, she won't go.
"Since His Majesty has not given any orders, then you, Granny, may offer incense on my behalf, as a way of fulfilling the duty of caring for me back then."
After giving the order, Fanghua stopped worrying about the matter. Recently, because of the Empress Dowager's mourning period, there were no major events in the palace, so she, as the Empress, could also take a break.
So he went to find his son to do something important.
She should ask Xiaofeng about the lack of progress since she asked Xiaofeng to use Chenghu's blood to find the dragon spirit to recognize him as its master.
Arriving at the side hall where his son lived, the little guy could now walk on his own. As soon as he arrived, he was seen rummaging through things with his bottom sticking out, with Xiangxia guarding him beside him.
"What's going on here?" Fanghua asked as soon as she entered the room.
Upon hearing the familiar voice, Chenghu stopped searching, stood up, and threw himself at his mother, the Empress Dowager, with such force.
Youth is too much to bear.
This kid was raised on spiritual spring water, and his strength is comparable to that of a half-grown boy.
It was something that a woman like her couldn't possibly bear.
"My dear son, be gentle, be gentle, your imperial mother can't take a bump like that." Fanghua quickly went to help him up, preventing him from bumping into her.
Unfortunately, it was too late.
She stumbled back several steps before regaining her balance. "You brat, why are you so disobedient? You're getting more and more naughty as you grow up." Luckily, Qiaoling and the others were behind her, otherwise it wouldn't have been just a few steps.
I'm afraid both mother and child will fall to the ground.
"Empress Mother, your son was wrong, please don't spank me, please don't spank me." The brat was quite the charmer, calling her "Empress Mother" again and again, which softened her heart.
"Then tell your mother what you're looking for?" She was quite curious about that.
Upon hearing that he wouldn't be spanked, Chenghu immediately told the truth: "Empress Mother, I was looking for Xiaofeng. It's naughty, it pecked me." As he spoke, tears welled up in the little guy's eyes, showing how much it had hurt him.
Fanghua hadn't expected him to be looking for Xiaofeng. She said helplessly, "Xiaofeng can fly, how could it be hiding in the box?" She picked up her son with a sigh, "Come on, let's go look for it outside."
Upon hearing this, Chenghu became unhappy. "It's there, it's inside! I saw it fly in!" He struggled to get down, but Fanghua couldn't persuade him otherwise and had to let him down.
"It's definitely lying to you." After saying that, he called out Xiaofeng's name in his mind.
Just as Fanghua had expected, Xiaofeng had already disappeared without a trace.
"Master, don't look for me. I'll go back in a few days. My little master is too cruel. He wants to pluck my feathers." Xiao Feng's voice was full of grievance.
Fanghua felt utterly helpless.
"Okay, then come back tonight. I need to talk to you."
"Oh, okay, Master. Should I bring that Dragon Spirit guy into the space?" Go back? No way! I'll wait until my little master forgets about it before I go back.
It enters the space at night.
