Chapter 67 Noble Lady Fucha Suffers Massive Bleeding
The chubby orange tree looked at Fucha Peiyun and said, "I've been thinking about the name of the child in your belly lately."
After much deliberation, I have chosen the name Hongchang. What do you think, A-Jun?
"The name chosen by the Emperor is naturally excellent," said Fucha Peiyun.
The character 昌 (chāng) means prosperous, flourishing, bright, and auspicious. It is an excellent character.
Fucha Peiyun expressed her gratitude, saying, "On behalf of the Sixth Prince, I thank Your Majesty for bestowing upon me this name."
"The Sixth Prince is also my son, so naturally he should have a good name," said the chubby orange.
The chubby orange cat put its arm around Fucha Peiyun's shoulder and said with a smile:
"I heard that you've been enshrining the hairpin that your mother bestowed upon you. That's quite amusing."
Fucha Peiyun smiled rather embarrassedly:
"Your Majesty, I think this hairpin with the two immortals of harmony and union has a very auspicious meaning."
The Empress Dowager bestowed this hairpin upon me, presumably hoping that I would bear more children for the Emperor.
That's why this hairpin was enshrined and three sticks of incense were burned daily, in the hope of bearing the emperor more children.
I'm sure the Empress Dowager would be delighted to see this.
If I were to have another child, Your Majesty the Empress Dowager would have several more grandchildren to enjoy your company.
Upon hearing this, the chubby orange cat couldn't help but laugh and joked:
"I never imagined that Ah-Yun could be so 'greedy'!"
Fucha Peiyun bit her lip and said, "Then from now on, after I offer incense each day, I won't just do it for myself..."
He also made a plea for all the sisters in the palace.
I only hope that more babies will be born in this palace.
This would also allow the Emperor to have more children by his side.
Upon hearing this, the chubby orange praised:
"I am very pleased with A-Jun's magnanimity!"
I just don't know how much of what he said was sincere.
Fucha Peiyun's face flushed slightly:
"Actually... I also have a little selfish motive."
The chubby orange cat raised an eyebrow and said, "Oh, I'd like to hear the details?"
Fucha Peiyun: "It's not that I just wanted him to have more companions now that I have the Sixth Prince."
After all, the Sixth Prince's older brothers were quite different in age from him.
"I just hope he can have a few more younger siblings to keep him company."
Just then, Ye'er's clear voice came from outside the door:
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, this servant Ye'er requests an audience."
Fucha Peiyun looked at the big, fat orange.
Big Fat Orange nodded slightly.
Fucha Peiyun raised her voice and asked, "What is it?"
Ye'er: "Your Majesty, your tonic is ready."
The big, chubby orange cat says, "Come in!"
Ye'er "is".
Soon Ye'er carried a tray with a bowl of dark medicine on it.
After bowing to the two of them, Ye'er carried the medicine to Fucha Peiyun's bedside.
"Your Majesty, it's time to take your medicine."
Fucha Peiyun looked at the bowl of dark medicine, not really wanting to drink it.
Big Fat Orange picked up the medicine bowl and made a move to feed her.
Fucha Peiyun frowned slightly, then turned to the chubby orange and said in a coquettish tone:
"Your Majesty, this medicine is very bitter, and I really don't want to drink it."
Big Orange put on a stern face: "Ah Jun, this tonic is good for your health, don't be willful."
Didn't you say you wanted to give me more princes and princesses?
Fucha Peiyun wrinkled her nose. "Alright then, but Your Majesty, please give the bowl to me."
"I drank it all in one gulp and it wasn't that bitter."
The chubby orange cat said, "You'd be more than happy to have someone feed you medicine."
Fucha Peiyun: "This medicine is too bitter, I can't bear it."
"I deeply admire those sisters who are not afraid of hardship."
Big Orange handed the medicine bowl to Fucha Peiyun, who took the bowl.
She paused, then closed her eyes, held her breath, and drank it all in one gulp.
After handing the bowl to Ye'er, she frowned, and Da Pangju hurriedly offered her some candied fruit.
Fucha Peiyun, with a piece of candied fruit in her mouth, paused for a moment and said:
"Your Majesty, this medicine is bitter, but if it truly works as Your Majesty says..."
I hope I can recover my health soon and give birth to another child for the Emperor.
"Then it will all be worth it for me."
The chubby orange-haired man smiled and held her hand, "Ah Yun is so sensible, I am very pleased."
The two were still laughing and chatting, but not long after, Fucha Peiyun suddenly felt a sharp pain in her abdomen, like being stabbed with a knife.
Her face turned deathly pale, cold sweat poured down her forehead, and she involuntarily gasped:
"It hurts...it hurts so much...I'm in so much pain!"
Seeing this, the chubby orange cat panicked and hurriedly asked with concern:
"Ah Jun, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Don't scare me!"
Ye'er also hurriedly stepped forward and said anxiously:
"Your Majesty, what's wrong? Did you eat something bad?"
Fucha Peiyun said weakly:
"My stomach hurts so much..."
Big Fat Orange shouted loudly, "Summon the imperial physician! Quickly summon the imperial physician to treat me!"
Ye'er dared not delay for the slightest and replied, "Yes, this servant will go and fetch the imperial physician right away!"
After saying that, she turned and ran out.
Seeing Fucha Peiyun in unbearable pain, Da Pang Ju felt extremely distressed.
While comforting her, he anxiously awaited the arrival of the imperial physician.
Fucha Peiyun, enduring the excruciating pain, said to Ye'er:
"First... first, carry the Sixth Prince back to the side hall... don't let him be frightened..."
Su Peisheng was waiting outside when he heard the noise and rushed in.
After seeing the situation inside, Su Peisheng quickly took the tray from Ye'er's hands.
Ye'er ran over, picked up the swaddled baby from the bed, and headed towards the side hall.
Others rushed in to help, and a young eunuch quickly ran to fetch the imperial physician.
Fucha Peiyun felt her lower body suddenly become wet, and Madam Fucha arrived at that moment.
After she bowed to the Emperor, she looked at Fucha Peiyun.
"Yun'er, what's wrong? Where does it hurt?"
Fucha Peiyun cried out, "Mother, I'm bleeding so much!"
Lady Fucha immediately understood her daughter's meaning. She lifted the quilt and immediately saw a large patch of blood on the bed.
"Oh my god! How could this happen? Why would Yun'er have such a severe hemorrhage at this time?"
Lady Fucha was utterly astonished, her hands unconsciously covering her mouth, her eyes filled with worry and panic.
She didn't dare to delay for a moment and quickly covered Fucha Peiyun with the quilt again, afraid that her daughter would catch a cold again.
Then, she turned around and said to the big, fat orange cat who looked anxious and confused:
"Your Majesty, I think something is wrong with Her Majesty. She must have been plotted against."
To avoid offending Your Majesty's health, please move outside and rest for a while.
The chubby orange cat was persuaded to go outside and paced anxiously in circles.
Wen Shichu arrived quickly, and Madam Fucha hurriedly drew the bed curtains, leaving only Fucha Peiyun's wrist exposed.
After taking his pulse, Wen Shichu frowned deeply.
Seeing this, Lady Fucha felt even more uneasy and asked softly, "Imperial Physician Wen, how is Her Majesty?"
Wen Shichu replied respectfully:
"Madam, Her Highness must have ingested something extremely cold, causing excessive blood loss; her pulse is weak."
I first instructed the nanny to administer acupuncture to Your Majesty to stop the bleeding.
"Your Majesty, I need to carefully examine what you have used before."
Lady Fucha nodded in agreement.
Wen Shichu wrote out a prescription and sent a quick-footed eunuch to fetch the medicine.
Big Fat Orange was anxiously pacing back and forth outside the door.
When Wen Shichu came out, he hurriedly went up to ask him questions.
Wen Shichu reported truthfully:
"Your Majesty, the Empress is not in immediate danger, but she needs to recuperate properly."
As for the cause of the sudden massive bleeding, this humble servant needs to investigate further.
The fat orange cat roared, "We must get to the bottom of this! I will never allow anyone in the harem to act so viciously!"
Wen Shichu: "What did Your Majesty take before your stomach pain?"
Su Peisheng then handed the medicine bowl to Wen Shichu.
"Imperial Physician Wen, Consort Shu drank a tonic before her stomach pain."
Wen Shichu took the bowl of medicine, smelled it carefully, and then tasted the remaining liquid with his finger.
After a moment, he said with a solemn expression:
"Your Majesty, this tonic is a postpartum recovery medicine prescribed by your humble servant for the Empress."
However, someone added a few more medicinal herbs to this medicine, turning it into an extremely cold medicine.
This medicine is very harmful to the body; I fear Your Majesty will face many problems in the future…
"What's the big, fat orange cat afraid of?"
Wen Shichu slowly knelt down, his face showing difficulty, and said:
"I'm afraid Your Majesty will have difficulty conceiving again in the future, and Your Majesty's health is not as good as before."
Upon hearing this, the big, fat orange cat trembled with rage and roared:
"I will definitely find the mastermind behind this! How dare they strike right under my nose!"
Actually, the first thing that came to Da Pang Ju's mind was the Empress Dowager; he didn't want to doubt his imperial mother.
But recalling the hairpin of the Two Immortals of Harmony that the Empress Dowager had bestowed upon Consort Shu, Consort Shu did not react as strongly as Consort Hui had before her.
It is likely that the Empress Dowager harbored resentment towards Consort Shu because of this.
"Wen Shichu, how could the tonic you prescribed for Consort Shu have gone wrong like this?"
Wen Shichu, sweating profusely, hurriedly kowtowed and explained:
"Your Majesty, the prescription I wrote is absolutely correct. Someone must have changed the medicine midway through the process."
Moreover, this humble subject has always served Consort Shu with utmost care and concern for her well-being; how could I dare to commit such a grave error?
Big Fat Orange knew that this matter couldn't possibly have anything to do with Wen Shichu.
"Then, in your opinion, who could do all that?"
After a moment's thought, Wen Shichu cautiously replied:
"Your Majesty, the person who can accomplish this task must be extremely knowledgeable about medicinal properties, and their medical skills must be quite superb."
To win over such a person for one's own use, one must possess immense power within the harem.
Hearing this, the chubby orange cat's feelings for the Empress Dowager deepened even further.
It should be noted that the Empress Dowager had painstakingly cultivated her power in the inner palace for many years, and her influence was deeply entrenched.
Even the emperor himself might sometimes find it difficult to contend with him.
Could it be that this incident is really related to the Empress Dowager?
Thinking of this, the emperor's face grew even more gloomy...
What exactly is the Empress Dowager thinking? He finally has a favored concubine who can give birth to a healthy prince for him.
Is the Empress Dowager going to be destroyed too?
Does the Empress Dowager wish for him to have no descendants? No, that's not true.
The Empress Dowager couldn't possibly be so biased.
"Imperial Physician Wen, I'm entrusting this matter to you and Su Peisheng to investigate."
We must get to the bottom of this.
Wen Shichu, who in the family understands him? He's an imperial physician, and he also has to investigate cases.
Everyone knows that the more someone in the harem knows, the sooner they die.
Fortunately, he had a good master protecting him, proving that it's important to have the right powerful backer.
Wen Shichu: "Your humble servant obeys the imperial decree."
Su Peisheng "chatter"
At this moment, the eunuch who had prepared the medicine returned, and Wen Shichu hurriedly took his leave from the Emperor.
After carefully examining the medicine, he personally brewed it and then delivered it to Fucha Peiyun.
After watching her daughter drink the medicine, Lady Fucha felt relieved and left her daughter's room.
Then, with tears welling up in her eyes, she knelt down in front of the big, fat orange cat.
"Your Majesty, you must do justice for Consort Shu!"
Big Fat Orange quickly helped Lady Fucha up.
"Don't worry, I will find out the truth."
