Chapter 60 Noble Lady Fucha and the Dark Ghost 60
Inside Lingkun Palace, the candlelight flickered, illuminating Nian Shilan's beautiful yet somewhat cold face.
She suppressed her disgust and revulsion and welcomed the large, fat orange into Lingkun Palace.
Although the chubby orange-haired man still had a cold expression, he didn't point at Shilan and call him an old man anymore.
Nian Shilan really didn't want to deal with him, so she had someone bring out wine and dishes.
Then they poured glass after glass of the specially prepared wine down his throat.
The chubby orange cat didn't notice anything unusual; it was only after Nian Shilan's persuasion that...
Before they knew it, they were drinking more and more.
After the chubby orange cat completely lost consciousness, Nian Shilan softly called out towards the door:
"Zhou Ninghai!"
A short while later, Zhou Ninghai dragged his limping leg in.
"Your Majesty, this servant is here," Zhou Ninghai said respectfully, bowing.
Nian Shilan nodded slightly, signaling Zhou Ninghai to put the big fat orange on the bed.
Zhou Ninghai dared not neglect his own family in the slightest, but he wasn't so gentle with the chubby orange cat.
I grabbed the big, fat orange cat and threw it onto the bed.
After taking a bath, Nian Shilan fell asleep on a soft couch with the help of Songzhi and others.
The next morning, as the sun rose, soft light streamed into the Suiyu Pavilion through the window lattice.
It was as if everything had cleared up after the rain.
However, in stark contrast to this beautiful morning light,
The people inside the Broken Jade Pavilion, however, looked listless and pale.
But everyone has their own things to do, and even if you're feeling down, you still have to get up.
Zhen Huan leaned back on the bed and instructed Xiao Yunzi:
"Go and find out which palace the Emperor spent the night in last night."
After agreeing, Xiao Yunzi hurriedly left.
After Zhen Huan finished washing up with the help of Jinxi and others...
Xiao Yunzi ran back.
He approached Zhen Huan, bowed, and said:
"Your Highness, I have learned that His Majesty stayed at Consort Hua's Lingkun Palace last night."
Upon hearing this, Zhen Huan's heart sank.
Her sleepy eyes, which had been half-closed, suddenly opened wide.
A hint of disappointment and worry was visible on his face.
She sat silently on the edge of the bed, staring blankly ahead.
Various thoughts involuntarily surfaced in my mind.
The affection she once held for the emperor was now being worn away bit by bit.
Seeing this, Jinxi's heart tightened, and she quickly stepped forward, then softly comforted him:
"Your Majesty, you must try to think more positively!"
Consort Hua was, after all, General Nian's younger sister, and the Emperor couldn't keep ignoring her forever!
I hope Your Majesty will not worry too much about this matter.
I believe His Majesty will come to see Your Majesty again soon.
However, at this moment, Zhen Huan seemed to be in another world, completely immersed in her own thoughts.
She acted as if she hadn't heard Jinxi's earnest advice, remaining completely deaf and unresponsive.
Soon after, Huanbi and Liuzhu also gathered around, cautiously offering their advice:
"Your Majesty, you haven't eaten or drunk anything all day."
How can my body handle this? Let's have some proper meals first.
As he spoke, he presented the carefully prepared dishes to Zhen Huan one by one.
Zhen Huan slowly turned her head, her gaze sweeping blankly over the sumptuous dishes on the table.
He absentmindedly picked up his chopsticks, casually ate a couple of bites of food, and then...
Then he sat blankly on the bed, lost in thought.
The crowd looked at each other, their faces filled with helplessness and worry, but no one dared to say anything more.
Time passed by, minute by minute, and a heavy, oppressive atmosphere permeated the entire Suiyu Pavilion.
No one dared to speak loudly, and they even walked very quietly, for fear of further displeasing Zhen Huan.
Suddenly, Su Peisheng's loud and clear announcement came from Suiyu Pavilion: "The Emperor has arrived!"
The sound broke the somber atmosphere of Suiyu Pavilion.
Huanbi breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that her elder sister should be happy now.
With a smile, she ran briskly into Zhen Huan's bedroom.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor has come to see you again!"
However, upon hearing this news, Zhen Huan, who was leaning against the bed, slightly moved her usually calm eyes.
But just a moment later, the light in those eyes quickly dimmed.
It returned to a stagnant, still state.
Zhen Huan remained seated on the bed, motionless, showing no reaction to the approaching emperor.
It was as if everything happening in the outside world had nothing to do with her.
Before long, the big, chubby orange cat walked in with steady steps.
When he saw Zhen Huan, who still wore a cold expression, a sense of displeasure welled up inside him.
But he suppressed his dissatisfaction and quickly walked to Zhen Huan's bedside, speaking softly and caringly:
"Huanhuan, how are you feeling today? You've just finished your period, so your health is the most important thing."
Take good care of yourself and don't worry too much; you'll have children eventually.
Zhen Huan glanced at the chubby orange cat expressionlessly and said in a cold tone:
"Even if there were another one, it would definitely not be this one."
After saying that, he turned his gaze elsewhere again, unwilling to look at the big fat orange cat any longer.
Seeing this, the chubby orange cat knew it was inappropriate to bring up the child again.
So they turned their attention to Zhen Huan's diet and daily life.
No matter how much he tried to comfort her, Zhen Huan remained silent, not even lifting her eyelids.
Finally, the chubby orange cat shook its head helplessly, and repeatedly reminded Zhen Huan to take good care of herself.
Filled with disappointment and displeasure, he turned and left Suiyu Pavilion.
Jinxi, who had been silently observing everything from the sidelines, quickly walked into Zhen Huan's bedroom after seeing the fat orange cat leave.
Zhen Huan remained lifeless as before, her eyes vacant as she stared into the distance.
He exuded an aura of coldness that made him unapproachable.
Jinxi walked gently to Zhen Huan's side and spoke cautiously:
"Your Majesty, the Emperor still cherishes your memory."
"It is not a wise move for you to push the Emperor away again and again!"
However, Zhen Huan seemed to ignore Jinxi's advice, and she only responded coldly:
"Jinxi, I really can't do it. My child has just left me."
At this time, I cannot bring myself to curry favor with my superiors.
After saying this, Zhen Huan's eyes reddened slightly, and tears welled up in them.
Seeing Zhen Huan in such pain, Jinxi felt a pang of sorrow in her heart.
She sighed softly and said:
"Your Majesty, in this harem, a woman's favor and offspring are of utmost importance."
Your Majesty, it seems unlikely that you will be able to conceive again anytime soon.
If we don't seize this favor while the Emperor is feeling guilty, what will become of us in the future?
Despite Jinxi's earnest and heartfelt advice, Zhen Huan remained unmoved.
Seeing Zhen Huan's current unyielding attitude, Jinxi knew that there was no point in continuing to say anything, so she could only silently shut her mouth.
For a moment, the entire palace fell into a deathly silence once again.
Only the occasional soft sigh broke the suffocating silence.
Before we knew it, night, like a giant black curtain, quietly descended upon the earth.
As night deepened, the light inside the Broken Jade Pavilion grew dimmer and dimmer.
The once bright and cozy room was gradually swallowed by darkness.
Only a few faint candles, carefully lit by the palace servants, flickered eerily in the wind.
The flickering firelight illuminated everything around them, making the already quiet night seem even more eerie and sinister.
Zhen Huan remained sitting quietly on the bed, her expression unreadable in the darkness.
Time seemed to freeze at that moment; it was impossible to tell how much time had passed.
So long that even the air seemed to become heavy and oppressive.
Suddenly, without warning, a biting cold wind blew by, howling and sweeping in.
The wind was unusually strong, causing the window frames to creak and groan.
The sound was particularly jarring and chilling in the quiet night.
Zhen Huan couldn't help but shiver.
I felt an extremely cold chill creeping up my spine like a maggot clinging to my bones.
In the blink of an eye, it had spread rapidly throughout her entire body.
Immediately afterwards, an indescribable sense of dread washed over me like a tidal wave.
This made her involuntarily hug her arms tightly.
They try to gain even the slightest bit of warmth and security from this.
However, this did nothing to alleviate the growing fear in her heart.
Just then, the terrifying scene from last night...
A chilling sense of terror, like a ghost, silently enveloped the entire Suiyu Pavilion.
In an instant, the entire courtyard seemed to be covered by an invisible shadow, sending chills down one's spine.
Suddenly, a sharp, piercing scream shattered the tranquility of Suiyu Pavilion.
Huanbi was pale, trembling all over, and her lips quivered as she said:
"If only His Majesty could be at Suiyu Pavilion tonight..."
Upon hearing this, Zhen Huan keenly detected a hint of resentment in her trembling words.
Zhen Huan asked, "Huanbi, what happened?"
Huanbi looked at Zhen Huan in horror and stammered:
"Your Majesty, that thing from last night has reappeared."
Zhen Huan was startled, but she forced herself to remain calm.
"where?"
Just as I was wondering, I suddenly heard faint crying coming from outside, sounding like anger and resentment, drifting and uncertain.
Zhen Huan clenched her fist and whispered, "Xiao Yunzi, take some men and see what's going on."
Although Xiao Yunzi was frightened, she still timidly led a few eunuchs out to investigate.
A short while later, Xiao Yunzi and the others came running back, tumbling and crawling.
"Your Majesty, there are words written in blood on the palace wall, and a white shadow flashed by."
Zhen Huan frowned, took a deep breath, and said, "Jinxi, bring me my clothes."
"I'd like to see what kind of evil spirit is causing trouble in the Broken Jade Pavilion."
Jinxi advised, "Your Highness, let me go and see for myself."
Zhen Huan waved her hand, "I will go myself."
Jinxi draped clothes over Zhen Huan, who then lifted the covers and got out of bed.
She stumbled slightly, and Jinxi quickly steadied her.
The group went into the courtyard, where Xiao Yunzi...
The group went into the courtyard, and Xiao Yunzi pointed towards the palace wall.
Zhen Huan looked up and, in the moonlight, the blood-written words were shocking. Although she was afraid, she remained calm on the surface.
Just then, a cold wind blew by, and the white shadow appeared and disappeared again.
Everyone was shocked and retreated. Zhen Huan, however, took a step forward and shouted:
"What kind of demon dares to play tricks in my Jade Broken Pavilion!"
But the white figure suddenly disappeared again. Zhen Huan and the others searched everywhere, but found nothing.
Looking at the wall again, the blood-written words had vanished without a trace, as if they had never appeared.
