Chapter 277 Consort Fucha
The Empress Dowager was filled with resentment, but there was nothing she could do.
She stared at Nian Shilan, her eyes filled with disbelief and despair.
Her lips trembled, but she could only utter weak sobs.
Her withered fingers gripped the soft couch tightly.
It seemed as if it was trying to grasp at the last glimmer of hope, but in the end it could only fall helplessly.
Seeing the old woman in such pain, Nian Shilan felt a special kind of satisfaction.
"Neither the Uya family, which you care about, nor the Ulanara family, which is related to the Uya family, will have a good ending."
That's not all; even the powerful families of bondservants have been wiped out by your good son.
Those who were executed were executed, and those who were exiled were exiled.
It never gained any traction again.
The Empress Dowager never imagined that her fourth son, this rebellious son, would be so ruthless. There was no limit to how ruthless he could be!
Although she admitted that she was somewhat biased towards the fourteenth prince, she was not entirely indifferent to the fourth prince either!
After all, the fourth son didn't grow up by her side.
Unlike the fourteenth prince, she wasn't as considerate. It's only natural that she showed a slight preference for the fourteenth prince.
But the fourth brother was really ruthless, uprooting both the Uya and Ulana families!
Does this unfilial son truly have no regard for the bond between mother and son?
The Empress Dowager grew angrier the more she thought about it, cursing her unfilial son for being heartless and cruel, saying he would get his comeuppance sooner or later!
Nian Shilan observed the Empress Dowager's changing expressions and was secretly pleased.
She suppressed it for so many years, forcing herself to forget the hatred in her heart.
We've been waiting for this moment to arrive.
When she learned the truth and awoke from that false prosperity...
She then resolved to make those who killed her child pay the price.
All the schemes of the disgusting mother and son, the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, came to naught, making their lives worse than death.
With a smile on her face, Nian Shilan looked directly into the Empress Dowager's eyes and slowly said:
"Your Majesty, do you secretly wish your good son would die right now?"
But don't worry, I've always been an understanding person.
I came here today specifically to tell you some good news.
Your good son is now just like you, lying in bed, unable to move, and unable to even speak!
How about it? Aren't you especially happy and surprised?
Haha, you two are truly a mother and son!
Upon hearing this, the Empress Dowager's already withered body trembled violently.
A look of horror and disbelief flashed in her eyes, as if she couldn't believe her ears.
Her dry lips moved slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she only let out a weak sob.
The Empress Dowager never expected that her rebellious son's retribution would come so quickly.
Nian Shilan said viciously, "Empress Dowager, do you think this world is really strange?"
Your good son is an emperor, high above, who controls the lives and deaths of everyone.
But he lies in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, just like you, unable to move or speak.
He could only watch helplessly as power slipped away, and his life and death were controlled by people he had never cared about.
"But we were powerless to do anything about it; isn't this retribution?"
Nian Shilan smiled slightly and continued:
"Empress Dowager, don't you think this retribution came too quickly?"
In fact, this is all the result of your own actions, and now you are simply reaping the fruits of your labor.
You caused me to lose my child back then, and now you're plotting against our Nian family.
Now, you and your good son are experiencing the same thing.
Isn't this a fair exchange?
Seeing the despair flash in the Empress Dowager's eyes, yet there was nothing he could do.
Nian Shilan felt a mixture of pleasure and boredom.
She was no longer satisfied with watching the Empress Dowager's desperate and helpless state.
She wanted to see the Empress Dowager cry out, she wanted to see her scream and rage.
Thinking about it this way, Nian Shilan suddenly felt it was pointless.
He straightened up, smoothed his temples, and turned to leave.
Suddenly, something else came to mind.
"I will send you this good news after your good son passes away."
I just don't know if you'll be able to wait any longer. You should take good care of yourself.
I wonder if you'll die first, or your good son will die first.
Having said all that, I should now take my leave.
Nian Shilan slowly walked out of Shou Kang Palace, leaving only the Empress Dowager lying on the couch in despair, gasping for breath.
Before Nian Shilan could leave, the Empress Dowager suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood.
Nian Shilan's lips curled up slightly, revealing a cold smile.
She didn't look back, but quickened her pace and left the Empress Dowager's bedroom.
When Songzhi, Zhou Ninghai, and the others saw Nian Shilan come out, they immediately went to greet her.
"Your Majesty, you've come out."
Nian Shilan said, "Let's go back."
The Empress Dowager lay on the couch, the bright red blood...
It slowly dripped from the corners of her dry mouth, staining her wrinkled face red.
Her breathing was rapid and labored, as if each breath was a struggle against death.
Her eyes were filled with resentment and anger, but even more so with despair.
She was tricked by Longkodo into entering the late emperor's palace.
From a lowly maidservant to a Noble Lady, then to Consort De, and finally to one of the Four Consorts, the Imperial Concubine De.
She was humble and submissive, gentle and considerate.
He climbed his way up to his current position step by step.
She sacrificed so much for her place in the palace, for the Wuya family, and for the fourteenth prince.
She once thought she was strong enough to control everything, but now she finds herself unable to grasp anything.
She was unwilling to accept it.
As soon as Nian Shilan left, Zhu Xi hurried to the Empress Dowager's bedroom.
He walked to the Empress Dowager's side, knelt down, and asked urgently:
"Your Majesty, how are you? Please don't frighten this servant."
Fearing that the Empress Dowager might die, Zhu Xi hurriedly took out a porcelain bottle from his sleeve.
Pour out a pill and put it into the Empress Dowager's mouth.
Not long after Fucha Peiyun returned to Kunning Palace,
The Imperial Household Department then sent the newly made Crown Prince's court robes and auspicious robes for Hongchang to the Kunning Palace.
A short while later, the chief eunuch of the Imperial Household Department led a group of people in, personally carrying the court robes and ceremonial robes.
Fucha Peiyun instructed them to place all the items on the table in the hall.
The head eunuch respectfully said, "Your Majesty the Empress,"
The Crown Prince's court robes and ceremonial robes are both made of the finest materials.
The most skilled embroiderers in the palace meticulously sewed the pieces, working through the night, with every detail strictly adhering to regulations.
Fucha Peiyun stepped forward and examined her closely.
The golden shawl and python robe, embroidered with exquisite cloud and dragon patterns, shimmered with a magnificent luster under the light.
Fucha Peiyun reached out and gently touched the delicate fabric.
They carefully inspected every inch of the fabric, afraid of making even the slightest mistake.
At Hongchang's investiture ceremony, he will need to wear [the appropriate attire].
Time is of the essence; if a problem arises and goes undetected, it could lead to a major disaster.
After Fucha Peiyun led Ye'er and the others to check that there were no problems,
Only then did Ye'er give the reward and send the people from the Imperial Household Department away.
As soon as the people from the Imperial Household Department left, Fucha Peiyun asked Ye'er to prepare the meals and snacks that Hongchang liked.
I'm planning to visit Hongchang at the Prince's residence, and I'll take the opportunity to send his court robes and ceremonial robes there together.
