Chapter 146 The Meeting of Consort Fucha
Upon hearing this, Zhen Huan looked up, her eyes already brimming with tears, burning with a fierce rage.
Zhen Huan shouted angrily:
"Your Majesty, although my health is currently weak, I do not wish to be deceived."
Father and Mother have both passed away, and even Yu Rao has disappeared.
How could you bear to hide such a significant matter from me?
After hearing this, the chubby orange cat let out another long sigh, and with a guilty expression, explained:
"Huanhuan, don't be angry. I originally planned to tell you after your health improved a bit."
You're already weak, and you still have to worry about two children.
I'm really afraid your body won't be able to take it.
Moreover, since learning of Yu Rao's disappearance,
I have dispatched a large number of people to search for his whereabouts.
I believe news will arrive soon.
Zhen Huan sneered, "Your Majesty's kindness is beyond my ability to accept."
Zhen Huan couldn't help but hate the person in front of her now; if it weren't for him exiling the Zhen family to Ningguta...
How could Father and Mother be dead? How could Yu Rao be missing?
Remembering what the deposed Empress Ulanara Yixiu had said before, Zhen Huan suspected that her father and mother's deaths were not accidental.
It is very likely that this was the work of Ulanara Yixiu.
At that moment, the faint sound of children crying could be heard coming from the side hall.
Zhen Huan, disregarding her confrontation with the chubby orange, rushed off to check on the child.
Big Fat Orange felt guilty as he watched Zhen Huan's departing figure.
He secretly vowed to find Yu Rao and make amends to Zhen Huan.
When Zhen Huan arrived at the side hall, she saw two children crying with their little faces red from being cared for by their wet nurse.
She quickly took a child and gently coaxed him, her anger gradually replaced by tenderness.
Big Fat Orange also came to the entrance of the side hall, quietly watching this scene, but dared not go in.
While comforting the child, Zhen Huan thought that the matter concerning her father and mother still needed to be investigated thoroughly.
If it really was Yixiu who did it, she would definitely not let her off.
Although the empress has been deposed, the Ulanara family behind her still exists.
She wanted the Ulanara family to be destroyed, and the Uya family also...
As for Yu Rao, we must find her as soon as possible.
I just hope Yu Rao is still alive and well.
Time flies, and three months have passed in the blink of an eye.
After a period of careful recuperation, Zhen Huan's twins finally recovered somewhat.
No longer as frail as when it was born.
Zhen Huan's physical condition also improved, and she was no longer as weak and powerless as before.
The palace was bustling with activity on the day of the twins' 100-day celebration.
Zhen Huan was also in a rare good mood.
He greeted everyone's congratulations with a smile.
Just as everyone was laughing and chatting, Zhen Huan suddenly spotted a figure she had never expected.
That person actually appeared today.
The person she subconsciously tried to forget these days
He stood not far away, accompanied by a woman with a prominently protruding belly.
The woman was dressed in a deep blue auspicious dress with butterfly and floral patterns, and her face radiated a gentle and serene smile.
As beautiful and charming as a flower blooming in spring.
After a moment's thought, Zhen Huan had already guessed the woman's identity.
Meng Jingxian, the only daughter of Pei Guogong
The Emperor personally issued an edict to bestow upon Prince Guo the title of his legitimate secondary consort.
Zhen Huan took a deep breath, trying to calm the turbulent emotions in her heart.
Holding her daughter in her arms, she looked coldly at Prince Guo and Meng Jingxian.
Prince Guo noticed Zhen Huan's gaze, his expression was somewhat complicated, and he hesitated to speak.
Meng Jingxian seemed to sense something, looked up at Zhen Huan, and gave a slight curtsy.
Zhen Huan simply nodded slightly.
At this moment, Fucha Peiyun walked in, saw the subtle atmosphere, and understood.
These former lovers, separated for so long, have finally met again.
These two must have met today to find an opportunity to pour out their hearts to each other.
Fucha Peiyun stepped forward, breaking the deadlock with a smile:
"Today is the 100-day celebration for the little princess and the little prince. Why does Consort Wan seem a little unhappy?"
Zhen Huan forced a smile, turned around, handed the child to the wet nurse, and bowed to Fucha Peiyun.
"Your Majesty, I have met the Noble Consort Shu."
Fucha Peiyun took Zhen Huan's hand, patted it gently, and whispered:
"I know that Consort Wan is suffering, but on such an occasion, you must not lose your composure."
Zhen Huan looked at Fucha Peiyun, feeling that she might know something.
However, given the circumstances, she couldn't bring herself to ask.
I didn't dare to ask any further questions, so I could only force myself to remain calm and smile as I agreed.
Just then, Prince Guo finally stepped forward, clasped his hands in a respectful salute, and said:
Congratulations to Consort Wan on the birth of her little princess and prince!
I've heard that the little princess and prince are both intelligent and clever. Congratulations!
Zhen Huan's heart skipped a beat when she heard Prince Guo's voice.
But she quickly turned her head away, avoiding direct eye contact, and simply replied:
"Your Highness is too kind."
At this moment, Meng Jingxian walked over, supporting her pregnant belly, and curtsied, saying:
"This humble servant hereby congratulates Consort Wan and wishes the young prince and princess a lifetime of peace, happiness, and longevity."
Zhen Huan then slowly turned her head and looked directly at Meng Jingxian.
As their eyes met, Zhen Huan smiled slightly and said:
Thank you for your kind words, Consort Meng. I appreciate your kind words.
How many months pregnant is Consort Meng?
Judging by this, it must be quite far along in the pregnancy, right?
When Meng Jingxian heard Zhen Huan ask about it, a gentle and happy smile immediately bloomed on her face.
She gently stroked her prominent belly and answered softly:
"Your Highness, I am already over seven months pregnant. Thank you for your concern."
Zhen Huan's heart clenched suddenly, feeling a sharp pain.
In other words, they became pregnant not long after their marriage.
This child proves that her last glimmer of hope was a joke.
But she still endured it, trying her best not to show any abnormality on her face.
Make yourself laugh nonchalantly
May the princess have a safe delivery.
Zhen Huan spoke softly, her voice so calm that one could hardly detect any emotional fluctuations within it.
Yunli stood to the side, his gaze involuntarily falling on Zhen Huan.
He desperately wanted to explain everything to her immediately, to tell her that things weren't as she imagined.
However, reason told him that this was not the right time.
So he could only clench his fists tightly, using all his strength to suppress the impulse within him.
Just then, Nian Shilan gracefully approached.
When she saw that Prince Guo and his wife had also come to the twins' 100-day celebration...
Nian Shilan's eyes lit up immediately, and she began to frequently glance at Zhen Huan, Prince Guo, and Meng Jingxian.
The corners of her mouth turned up slightly, and she had an expression that said she was enjoying the show. Her expression couldn't be clearer.
Upon seeing this, Fucha Peiyun frowned and sighed inwardly.
She gently touched Nian Shilan's arm and whispered a reminder:
"You'd better tone it down a bit."
Seeing this, Nian Shilan restrained herself slightly, but those who knew her could still sense her unusual behavior.
This scene naturally did not escape the eyes of everyone, especially Feng Ruozhao and Cao Qinmo.
They had been secretly keeping an eye on what was happening here.
I wonder why the Imperial Noble Consort keeps paying attention to Consort Wan, Prince Guo, and Prince Guo's concubine.
Fortunately, both of them were their own people.
So there's no need to worry too much about them causing any trouble.
Not long after, the big, fat orange cat finally arrived in a hurry.
He first glanced at the twins in the swaddling clothes.
The two little ones no longer looked as thin and weak as when they were first born.
Her little face has gotten a bit fuller.
The chubby orange cat nodded in satisfaction, then turned to look at Zhen Huan.
His eyes were full of admiration as he spoke:
"Huanhuan, you've taken such good care of our children!"
Zhen Huan smiled slightly upon hearing this:
"Your Majesty flatters me. Taking care of the children is simply my duty."
My greatest wish right now is for them to grow up healthy.
Her two children are now her closest relatives, and she will protect them and help them grow up no matter what.
The chubby orange cat scanned the crowd and announced loudly:
Today is the 100th day of my little prince and little princess's birthday.
Everyone, please don't be shy, just enjoy yourselves!
With that, he waved his hand, signaling the banquet to continue.
For a moment, melodious music filled the air, and the dancers moved gracefully, singing and dancing lightly.
The whole scene was lively and bustling, presenting a prosperous scene of singing and dancing.
Amidst the noisy atmosphere, Zhen Huan seemed somewhat absent-minded.
She frowned slightly, her eyes wandering, showing no interest in anything in front of her.
While everyone was distracted, she quietly left her seat and walked towards a corner.
When they reached the artificial hill in the corner, Zhen Huan stood quietly.
At this moment, her mind was filled with countless thoughts.
Memories of the past flooded her mind like a tide, leaving her feeling sad and heartbroken.
Prince Guo had been paying attention to Zhen Huan.
When Zhen Huan led Jinxi to the corner,
Prince Guo could no longer suppress his impulse and got up without hesitation to follow.
Meng Jingxian was sitting with Fucha Peiyun, Feng Ruozhao, and other concubines who had children, and she was in high spirits.
I humbly asked them for their experiences and insights on raising children.
She listened intently and didn't notice that Prince Guo had quietly left.
Prince Guo quickly walked to Zhen Huan's side and softly called out:
"Huan'er, how have you been lately?"
Upon hearing the familiar voice, Zhen Huan abruptly raised her head and looked at Prince Guo.
The tenderness that once filled her eyes was gone, replaced by indifference and aloofness.
Jinxi quickly and tactfully stepped aside to keep watch for the two of them.
Zhen Huan looked at Prince Guo expressionlessly and coldly replied:
"Your Highness, you should be concerned about Consort Meng."
Prince Guo was taken aback, and hurriedly explained, "Huan'er, marrying Jingxian is not my wish..."
Zhen Huan sneered, interrupting him:
"Your Highness is mistaken. Since you are already married..."
We should treat Consort Meng well; our past relationship is nothing but a fleeting memory.
Now that our statuses are different, Your Highness, I urge you to respect yourself and refrain from further entanglement.
After saying these words, Zhen Huan resolutely turned around and left.
Prince Guo, however, reacted swiftly and reached out, accurately grasping Zhen Huan's slender wrist.
"Huan'er, you've lost a lot of weight."
These words made Zhen Huan's eyes redden, and she wanted to pull her hand back.
But how can a woman's strength compare to a man's?
Prince Guo continued to explain,
The Emperor suddenly decided to bestow a marriage upon me, but my heart belongs only to you, Huan'er!
I refused the Emperor's bestowed marriage time and time again.
However, unexpectedly, this action angered the emperor.
He began to doubt my repeated refusal to grant him the marriage.
The Emperor is using my mother to blackmail me. If I continue to disobey his decree, the consequences will be unimaginable...
I had no choice but to accept the imperial decree, but even so, the emperor did not dispel his suspicions about me.
They had been keeping an eye on Prince Guo's residence.
There are still the Emperor's spies in the mansion.
I dared not come to see you during this time, lest the Emperor find out.
we……"
Prince Guo's eyes revealed endless pain and helplessness.
He unconsciously tightened his grip on Zhen Huan's hand.
Zhen Huan's body trembled slightly. So that's how it is. A moment of hesitation flashed through her mind.
But in just a moment, she forcefully suppressed that hesitation.
Instead, he retained that icy demeanor.
"Things have already developed to this point, and Your Highness is now a married man."
There is no possibility between us anymore.
I hope Your Highness will respect yourself and not cause any further trouble.
Upon hearing Zhen Huan's heartless words, Prince Guo not only did not let go, but instead gripped her hand even tighter.
Prince Guo held Zhen Huan's hand tightly, his voice low and urgent:
"Huan'er, since we met and got to know each other, my true feelings for you have never changed in the slightest!"
As long as you nod in agreement, I'd give up all my wealth and glory.
I am also willing to take you away from this place full of power struggles, intrigues, and grudges.
Let's run away together and live a carefree life that belongs only to the two of us.
Upon hearing this, Zhen Huan's heart skipped a beat.
She hurriedly and forcefully broke free from Prince Guo's tight grip on her hand.
At the same time, he lowered his voice and sternly rebuked:
"Your Highness, please stop uttering such treasonous words!"
The relationship between us was a mistake from the very beginning.
Now that things have come to this, it is hoped that Your Highness can forget this inappropriate feeling and return to the right path.
Whether Yunli's deep affection for her was genuine or not
Having endured numerous hardships and setbacks, Zhen Huan had already made up her mind.
I will never again allow myself to become hopelessly entangled in romantic love.
There were too many insurmountable obstacles between them.
Behind Yunli was not only Consort Shu,
There's also Meng Jingxian and her unborn child who need care.
Furthermore, the expectations and responsibilities of the entire Prince Guo's mansion rested on his shoulders.
She herself still has many unfinished matters to resolve.
She wanted to avenge her father and mother who had died tragically, and to find her long-lost sister, Yu Rao.
There are two more children waiting for her to take care of.
Seeing Zhen Huan's resolute attitude, Prince Guo's face instantly showed a hint of desolation.
But he still refused to give up, saying:
"Huan'er, are we destined to be together but never to be together in this life?"
Zhen Huan suppressed the turmoil in her heart and resolutely turned her head away.
Without glancing at Prince Guo again, he said coldly:
"Your Highness, there is no need for further words. My mind is made up."
Just then, a series of hurried footsteps approached from a distance.
Zhen Huan's expression suddenly changed, and she became tense.
Jinxi, who was keeping watch, quickly spoke up to remind him:
"Your Majesty, Your Highness, something's wrong! It looks like someone is coming this way!"
