Chapter 106: A dead end, irreversible
Chapter 106: A dead end, irreversible
From the moment Concubine Cao set up this trap, Yu Ying'er's life had already entered the countdown.
Regardless of whether Yu Ying'er can successfully poison Zhen Huan, the only way waiting for her is death.
If the poisoning fails, Yu Ying'er will be a discarded pawn. If it succeeds, Yu Ying'er, the culprit, will still not be able to escape the emperor's wrath. Even if she is not discovered, Hua Fei and others will not allow Yu Ying'er, who has the leverage over them, to live.
Yu Ying'er is the most common example of an ordinary person entering the palace and gaining favor. She can enjoy the emperor's favor for a period of time, but due to her limited value, the emperor will soon get tired of her.
Without the support of the family, the lives of the whole family are in the hands of the powerful. No matter whether Yu Ying'er is favored or not, she can only be a tool that can be manipulated at will by those in power.

"Why did the emperor come here suddenly?"
Fu Cha Zhixi put down the silk thread in her hand and looked at the emperor with some surprise.
"You are pregnant now, and you usually stay in Chengqian Palace, rarely taking the initiative to go to Yangxin Palace. If I want to see you, can't I just come here in person?"
The emperor smiled and looked at Fucha Zhixi and said.
"Is the child okay? Did he bother you?"
The emperor reached out and touched Fu Cha Zhixi's already obvious belly, looking at her with some concern.
"The child is very obedient and doesn't bother me at all. I thought I would be unable to eat like my sister-in-law."
When Fu Cha Zhixi heard the emperor say this, she couldn't help but reach out and touch her lower abdomen, and a loving smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
The emperor looked at Fu Cha Zhixi, who had obviously softened a lot, and his eyes grew a little warmer.
"I came here to tell you something. The Ministry of Revenue has requested an order to set up a well field in the suburbs of Beijing, so I plan to go out of the palace to see the situation myself."
"Anyway, the distance is not too far, so I will be back soon. You should take good care of yourself in the palace."
The emperor came here specially this time just to give Xier some advice, hoping that she could rest assured and take care of her pregnancy and take extra precautions during the time he is away from the palace.
After all, Shilan has been too impetuous during this period, and what he has done is really a bit too much.
As the daughter of Fucha's family, Xier was able to conceive his child and protect the child very well. I think she should be able to give birth to the child safely.
Although he really hoped that his concubines could become pregnant, he did not want the situation like that between Concubine Qi and the Third Prince to happen again.
If the mother concubine is too stupid and cannot even protect the baby in her belly, the child born by such a concubine will not be very smart.
He was not unaware that many of the miscarriages in the palace were not accidents, just like the late Concubine Fang, but you can't even protect yourself. This harem is not suitable for such a stupid person to survive.
As an emperor, he had plenty of people to bear children for him, so he rarely went out of his way to protect a pregnant concubine, which he regarded as a test for his concubines.
After all, he doesn't have that much time to participate in the palace fights among the concubines in the harem. All his time needs to be spent on how to govern the world.
The reason why he came here on purpose was because Xier was really to his liking, and he also hoped that the child could be born safely.
So he didn't want any conflicts to arise between Xier and Hua Fei during the time he was away.
He also planned to go to Yiku Palace later, and his main purpose was to make Shilan control his temper and make it clear what he could and could not do.
If something irreparable really happened and angered the Fucha family, he would not be able to blindly protect Shilan anymore.
But now he has no intention of breaking up with Nian Gengyao, so it is best for Shilan to keep a distance from Xier and have nothing to do with each other.
That’s right, it was Concubine Hua who caused the trouble for Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang, and he naturally knew it very well.
But after all, nothing happened to these two people, and since Shilan had served him for so many years, he was not willing to blame her for these trivial matters.
In addition, he was really impatient with these trivial matters in the harem. It would be best to let it go if possible. He didn't want to care about who was right or wrong.
He is the emperor, not the judge.
"I'm not in the palace. If you're really bored, you can ask An Changzai to come and keep you company."
"I see that you like An Changzai very much."
The emperor fiddled with the jade bracelet in his hand, looked at Fu Cha Zhixi and said with a smile.
An Lingrong is a gentle and tolerant person, so I think she is just right for accompanying Xier.
"Sister An is extremely intelligent and skillful, so naturally I like her."
"I know that I am a loner, so I don't like to go out of the palace to other places, and I rarely interact with other sisters in the palace. Only Sister An often comes to Chengqian Palace to see me. I am very grateful to Sister An."
Fu Cha Zhixi's eyes flashed. She naturally knew that the emperor said this not only to tell her that he was going out of the palace to do business, but also that he hoped that she could stay in the palace and not run around, so as to protect the baby in her belly.
"It seems that you and An Changzai really have a deep friendship."
The emperor frowned slightly and spoke with a smile.
"I can't read to the child during this period, so you better be a good boy."
The emperor lowered his head slightly to look at Fucha Zhixi's belly and whispered softly to the little person inside.
Seeing a small bulge on his belly, he smiled contentedly.
"As expected of my good child, you are sensible."
The matter of Yu Ying'er was only exposed after the emperor left the palace.
By the time Fu Cha Zhixi found out about this, Yu Ying'er had already received the emperor's decree of death, but she didn't care much about it.
After all, she already knew that Yu Ying'er would die, so she wasn't too surprised.
And now An Lingrong would never force Yu Ying'er to death just to show her loyalty to Zhen Huan and Shen Meiyu.
An Lingrong was busy learning painting at the time and had no time to care about Yu Ying'er.
Even after this incident broke out, she went to Sui Yuxuan to visit Zhen Huan.
"Sister, are you okay?"
"I rushed here as soon as I heard the news. Why didn't my sister tell me earlier?"
"Sister Zhen, how is your recovery now?"
An Lingrong looked at Zhen Huan with some worry.
Although she is closer to her sister now, Zhen Huan did help her a lot in the past. Now that something like this has happened, she can't just ignore her concern.
"Thank you, Sister An, for your concern. I am much better now."
Zhen Huan responded with a smile.
"Sister, your complexion looks a little pale. You need to take some rest."
An Lingrong spoke.
