A Crossover of Film and Television: Miao Miao's Life Transmigration

Chapter 115 Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace Su Luyun 42

Qingying went to plead with the Emperor and the Empress Dowager one after another, but it was no use. The Empress Dowager herself was the one who drove this situation. As long as it wasn't her daughter, it was fine. How could the Empress Dowager care about anyone else?

Regardless of Qingying's displeasure, Jingning has already been bestowed the title of Princess Gulun Hejia and is expected to marry into the Khorchin tribe next March.

Jingning's opinion is no longer important; she is someone who has been sacrificed.

The Emperor still gave his daughter Jingning face, and instructed Consort Hui and Consort Zhe to persuade Jingning to get married.

Jingning once made a scene, saying, "My daughter is of ill fate and is not a legitimate princess, yet she must fulfill the responsibilities of one."

Qingying hugged Jingning and cried bitterly, saying it was all her fault as her mother.

The matter of the Khorchin tribe seeking to marry their legitimate princess has been resolved. However, Fucha Langhua is worried that other Mongols may also be seeking to marry the princess, so she requests the emperor to grant Jingse a marriage.

The Emperor agreed and issued an edict that Jingse should marry the grandson of the Grand Secretary of the Inner Cabinet, Guarjia, and Hengti should marry the Vice Minister of the Imperial Clan.

The Empress and the Empress Dowager were both satisfied.

Unfortunately, Empress Fucha Langhua's health could not hold up. The Emperor learned from the imperial physician that the Empress was seriously ill and decided to change his route back to the palace.

Now that Jingse's matter has been resolved, my heart is at ease. Once a person is seriously ill and has no obsessions, they will quickly weaken.

Within two days, Fucha Langhua was unable to get out of bed.

Although Fucha Langhua didn't fall into the water this time, she still fell seriously ill, proving that her health was even weaker this time.

When the Emperor visited Empress Fucha Langhua again, he learned from the imperial physician that the Empress was nearing the end of her life.

The Second Prince and Jingse have been spending the last few days with Fucha Langhua.

Under Gao Xiyue's guidance, Su Luyun met with the Empress several times yesterday, watching from a distance as the group of women put on their act.

When Jin Yuyan was seeking to marry the legitimate princess of the Khorchin tribe, she wanted to interfere in the matter, but how could a mere concubine like her possibly make decisions for the emperor and empress dowager?

Now that Jin Yuyan has learned that the Empress is dying, she feels that her chance has come again. As a noblewoman of the Yu clan, she is sure to become the new Empress.

Fucha Langhua had regained consciousness and saw the Emperor standing before her.

"Your Majesty, I do not have much time left. Now that I have woken up and see Your Majesty by my side, I am overjoyed," Fucha Langhua said weakly.

"Your Majesty, I beg you not to make Jingse observe three years of mourning. I did not want Jingse to get married so early before, but now I cannot afford to delay. I will not be able to see Jingse get married, but I look forward to it," Fucha Langhua said, word by word.

Seeing that Fucha Langhua's time was running out, the Emperor felt conflicted and said that he would definitely consider Jingse's well-being.

Then, Fucha Langhua recalled the letters from the Fucha clan, who expressed their expectation that Consort Zhe would become the next empress.

Fucha Langhua thought of her son and daughter, who still needed the protection of the Fucha clan.

Fucha Langhua tried to help the emperor up and said, "Your Majesty, I have a request."

The Emperor helped Empress Fucha Langhua up and said, "Empress, please lie down while we talk."

Fucha Langhua said, "As the mistress of the harem who holds the Phoenix Seal, I recommend a candidate for Empress. Consort Zhe has been by Your Majesty's side since she gave birth to the prince. Your Majesty knows her virtue and she is qualified to be the next Empress."

After speaking, Fucha Langhua looked at the Emperor expectantly, hoping that he would grant her one last wish.

The Emperor was silent for a moment, then said, "Empress, this matter should not be considered by you. Empress is not just a title, but the mother of the nation. This matter should be considered by me."

Fucha Langhua hurriedly replied, "Forgive me for speaking out of turn, but among so many women in the harem, the concubines of the Han Banner Army can never become empresses."

Fucha Langhua did not want Su Luyun to become empress. Su Luyun had been favored by the emperor since the time she was in the palace. For more than ten years, she had been favored and had even given birth to two princes.

The emperor did not answer this question. After all, there were no Han Chinese bannermen among the empresses of the Qing Dynasty. But if he brought it up now, it would cause trouble among the Han Chinese bannermen and Han Chinese officials.

The Emperor avoided the topic: "The Empress is not in good health, she should rest well!"

Fucha Langhua said, "Your Majesty, it has been a long time since you called me by my name. Does Your Majesty still remember my name?"

The Emperor seemed to be reminiscing about the time he spent with Fucha Langhua. The two of them refrained from saying anything discouraging and instead chatted quietly about some trivial matters.

Jin Yuyan stood outside the Empress's palace for a while, her eyes revealing a fierce look.

Then, Bai Ruiji came to Jin Yuyan's side and said, "Why is Consort Jia not resting properly? Why is she coming to the Empress's place so late at night?"

Jin Yuyan chuckled and said, "The Empress's days are numbered. I have only come here to express my respect to the Empress."

Bai Ruiji had no enmity with the Empress in her life, and even gave birth to two princesses.

Jin Yuyan said, "I wonder why you've come to the Empress's place, sister?"

Bai Ruiji sighed, "Just half a month ago, I saw that Her Majesty the Empress was in good health, but now the Empress is actually..."

"My sister was just feeling a bit sentimental, so she came here to see if she could meet Her Majesty the Empress."

Jin Yuyan didn't say anything, but she knew the Emperor was inside and just wanted to put on a show.

The two parted ways in less than fifteen minutes.

Su Luyun learned about the conversation between the Emperor and the Empress through the servants below, and discovered that the Empress was actually wary of her.

Su Luyun picked up the wolf-hair brush and wrote the character "等" (děng, meaning "wait" or "wait"). The characters were bold and powerful, completely different from Su Luyun's usual handwriting.

After writing the character, Kexin brought up water and helped Su Luyun wash her hands.

As Su Luyun washed, she said, "The drama in the harem is getting more and more exciting."

Kexin handed a handkerchief to Su Luyun and said, "Your Majesty is the one who can keep things in check."

Su Luyun chuckled but said nothing. The situation outside was becoming increasingly chaotic. Although the news had not yet reached the previous dynasty, some Han officials already knew what Su Luyun had done, but they remained silent and said nothing.

Su Luyun thought to herself: There are still more Han people in the Qing Dynasty. This eight-legged essay is really harmful. After Qianlong dies, she will definitely have someone abolish the eight-legged essay.
