Chapter 43: Change your clothes

Huanbi realized that she had lost her composure and hid behind Zhen Huan in fear.

Noble Lady Fucha took a step forward angrily and reached out to grab Huanbi, but Zhen Huan hurriedly stopped her.

"Huanbi is ignorant. I hope you will be magnanimous and not get angry with her."

"I'm going to settle it with her, Wanchang, get out of my way!"

Noble Lady Fucha was angry and pushed Zhen Huan away.

Zhen Huan was originally sitting on the railing of the pavilion, with a pond in front of her.

This noble lady Fucha was originally a Manchu woman. She had learned riding and shooting since she was young, so she was naturally much stronger than ordinary women. At this time, she was angry, so her strength was even greater.

With this push, she pushed Zhen Huan directly into the pond.

Zhen Huan screamed "Ah" and fell into the pond!

Noble Lady Fucha was about to hit Huanbi when she stopped. Turning around, she saw Zhen Huan had already fallen into the pond.

Huanbi was horrified, "My lady, my lady, my lady!"

Noble Lady Fucha took a step back in fear. She had never imagined that in her momentary impulse, she would push Zhen Huan into the pond.

Concubine Hua was upset about Nian Gengyao's incident and also went to the back garden for a walk. She saw Noble Lady Fucha pushing Zhen Huan into the pond. Seeing that there was not even a strong eunuch around, Concubine Hua walked over anxiously, holding the railing with one hand and reaching out to Zhen Huan with the other.

"Wan Changzai, hurry up and grab my hand!"

Zhen Huan choked on some water and felt very panicked. She had never felt so close to death.

She saw Hua Fei reaching out her hand to her in a daze. She took her last breath and moved closer little by little, and finally grabbed the hand that Hua Fei extended.

Concubine Hua gritted her teeth and pulled Zhen Huan towards her, but she was not very strong and could not pull her.

Concubine Hua turned to look at Noble Lady Fucha standing beside her, "Why are you still standing there? Do you have to wait until the person dies before the Emperor punishes you?"

Noble Lady Fucha came to her senses and hurried over to grab Zhen Huan's hand and pulled hard. She was stronger, and with the help of servants such as Huanbi and Songzhi, she managed to drag Zhen Huan to the shore.

The Emperor soon learned of the news that Zhen Huan had fallen into the water. After dealing with state affairs, he hurried to Sui Yuxuan to see Zhen Huan.

Seeing Zhen Huan’s pale face, the emperor was very angry.

"what happened?"

Noble Lady Fucha lowered her head and dared not speak, while Concubine Hua just glanced at her calmly and remained silent. It was inappropriate for Concubine Hua to speak on this matter.

Huanbi, who was standing by, couldn't bear it anymore and knelt on the ground.

"Your Majesty, please make the decision for our young master!"

"You said, I will definitely stand up for your young lady!" The emperor was angry. He felt that Zhen Huan could not have fallen into the water for no reason. There must be some other reason.

Huanbi raised her head, straightened up, and looked at Noble Lady Fucha angrily, "Noble Lady Fucha pushed our young lady, and that's why she fell into the pond!"

Noble Lady Fucha's face changed, and the maidservant beside her scolded Huanbi, "You are confusing right and wrong! It was obviously your mistress who was not at fault first."

Huanbi wiped her tears and cried, "Your young master was so unreasonable that she pushed our young master!"

The emperor listened for a long time but could not understand what was going on. He said angrily, "Shut up!"

Everyone shut their mouths in fear.

I pointed at Huanbi and said, "Tell me what's going on."

Huanbi replied "yes" and told the whole story. Of course, she also told the parts that were beneficial to her.

The emperor listened without saying anything, and pointed again, and Noble Lady Fucha's maid said, "It's your turn."

Fucha Guiren's maid also recounted the story in general, and like Huanbi, she chose to tell the parts that were beneficial to Fucha Guiren.

The emperor sneered after hearing this. He first glanced at Huanbi, who lowered her head, and finally, he set his eyes on Noble Lady Fucha.

Noble Fucha looked away guiltily, kneeling on the ground and crying, "Your Majesty, I just lost my grip and accidentally pushed Concubine Wan into the pond! I swear on the honor of the Fucha family that I really didn't mean to harm Concubine Wan!"

The emperor pointed his finger at Noble Lady Fucha's nose and cursed: "If it weren't for the fact that you didn't do it on purpose, I would have deposed you immediately!"

Noble Lady Fucha was so frightened that her whole body went limp and she collapsed to the ground.

When Concubine Hua saw that Noble Lady Fucha had received the lesson she deserved, she also spoke.

"Your Majesty, Noble Lady Fucha did not do it on purpose. I can testify to that. But because of her unintentional mistake, Concubine Wan was frightened."

The emperor asked Concubine Hua, "What do you think we should do?"

Hua Fei coughed lightly and said with a smile: "Since the emperor is here, why do you need to ask me what to do?"

The emperor was very relieved to hear this.

After all, in his mind, Zhen Huan was somewhat different from other concubines. He must punish Noble Lady Fucha himself. He wanted everyone in the harem to know that even if the harem was managed by the Queen Mother and the Empress, he, the Emperor, still had the right to manage the harem!

"Lady Fucha, you are arrogant and have behaved inappropriately. I will confine you to the Yanxi Palace for a month!"

Noble Lady Fucha wanted to say something, but seeing the impatient expression on Wan's face, she didn't dare to say anything.

The emperor waved his hands impatiently, "Kneel down and go back to your Yanxi Palace."

After dealing with Noble Lady Fucha, Concubine Hua was about to get up and leave, but she accidentally sneezed.

Only then did the emperor notice that there were large wet spots on Concubine Hua's cuffs and arms.

Thinking of what Huanbi said, that Concubine Hua went to save Zhen Huan first, he said with some self-blame: "I was busy dealing with Noble Lady Fucha, but ignored you."

Hua Fei wiped her nose with her hand and smiled.

"I understand your Majesty's concern for Concubine Wan. Besides, I am fine, so it's nothing serious."

Songzhi interrupted, "My queen, you caught a cold while trying to save Concubine Wan, isn't that a big deal?"

Hua Fei angrily rebuked: "I am talking to the Emperor, how can you interrupt?"

Songzhi grumbled aggrievedly, "Your Majesty is too considerate of others. She doesn't care about herself."

Hua Fei stood up and walked towards Song Zhi, "You still want to talk, open your mouth!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Concubine Hua sneezed loudly again.

The emperor finally couldn't stand it anymore.

"Hua Fei, come to me."

Concubine Hua glared at Songzhi before turning around and coming to the emperor.

The emperor took her hand and found that her hands were cold. He complained, "Your clothes are wet. Why don't you go back and change them?"

Concubine Hua glanced at the still unconscious Zhen Huan and said, "Wan Chang Zai hasn't woken up yet, Your Majesty, you haven't come yet, how dare I go back?"

The emperor gently held her cold little hand and sighed, "How silly! I now order you to return to Yikun Palace, change your clothes, and let Songzhi make you a bowl of ginger soup to drive away the cold."
