[Quick Wear] Puhua Fairy is blessed with a long pregnancy
Chapter 123: Concubine Becomes Concubine 30
Cold Palace
Commoner Niu Hulu had been forced to raise her face. The white silk was getting closer and closer to her and had already been put around her neck. The white silk was gradually tightened as the eunuchs pulled it on both sides. Her breathing became more and more difficult, and her eyes were full of fear. She could not control her tears and struggled violently.
Just when she thought she was really about to die, Nagamine arrived in time and helped Yinzi delay time.
"Eunuch Zhang! Our master has gone to ask the emperor for help and will be here soon. Please hold your hands and wait for our master."
Eunuch Zhang's originally serious expression became awkward after hearing this. He thought, if the Fourth Prince had gotten a chance, it would be bad for him since Commoner Niu Hulu was dead now. It wouldn't be a big deal to wait for a while.
After he figured it out, he nodded, and the eunuch who was holding the white silk silk stepped back.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
Niu Hulu Shitong fell to the ground, coughing violently while pulling at the white silk around her neck, but her eyes were full of surprise. She looked at the eunuchs who were taking action, hatred and pride rising in her eyes, and she vented her fear vigorously, her voice becoming hoarse:
"My fourth prince will be here soon! He's here to save me. You slaves, just wait for me! I will never let you go once I get out of here! Just wait to be dragged out and beaten to death!"
The Fourth Prince arrived very quickly. As soon as he heard these words, he couldn’t help but feel dizzy.
"Master!"
Changfeng finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the Fourth Prince and hurried to meet him.
"Hongli, you are finally here!"
Niu Hulu Shitong was pleasantly surprised: "You are here to save me, right? I knew you wouldn't die!"
The Fourth Prince shook his head, ignoring Niu Hulu Shitong's expectant gaze. He looked at Eunuch Zhang:
"My master has begged the Emperor to see my mother one last time. Please, Eunuch Zhang, be flexible."
"Fourth Prince, you have to hurry up. Time waits for no one."
Eunuch Zhang glanced at the Fourth Prince and knew that he would not falsely convey the imperial edict. After all, he still had to report to the Emperor later. So he waved his hand and took the palace servants out, giving the mother and son some time to talk.
Everyone had gone out, so Changfeng naturally didn't stay either. He was afraid of hearing something he shouldn't hear, so he also went out.
When Niuhulu Shitong heard what the Fourth Prince and Eunuch Zhang said, his face changed drastically, and he suddenly crawled towards the Fourth Prince using his hands and feet, speaking incoherently:
"Son, Hongli! You have to save mother. Mother only has you. You can't just stand by and watch her die! Mother is targeting Concubine Xian for you. It's all for you!"
The Fourth Prince looked at Niu Hulu Shitong, whom he had not seen for nearly half a year. He held her hands with tears in his eyes:
"Mother, you are confused. No matter how you target the Imperial Concubine, you cannot use the art of exorcism. This is a taboo in the palace. Do you know how dangerous it was when the Imperial Concubine gave birth? It almost resulted in two deaths. The Emperor has already blamed you for this, and he will never tolerate it."
"It's my son's incompetence that can't save my mother."
Hearing the word "Imperial Noble Consort", Niu Hulu Shitong suddenly raised her eyes and looked at the Fourth Prince in disbelief. Especially when she heard that he was not going to save her, her heart trembled even more.
The Fourth Prince felt bitter, ignoring the fact that he had secretly targeted Sheng Huan. He did not think it was his fault. If it were not for his mother, he would not have taken action against the Imperial Concubine:
"Mother, I can't understand why you are targeting the Imperial Concubine. You two are sisters. If you didn't, I wouldn't have made the mistake. If you two join forces..."
"Shut up!" Hearing this, Niu Hulu Shitong interrupted him directly. She stared at the Fourth Prince with sinister eyes. She didn't look like she was looking at her son, but rather as if she was looking at an enemy:
"How can you speak for that bitch! I am your mother. Did you see that she has ascended to a high position and no longer want to acknowledge me as your mother? When I was deposed as a concubine, I didn't allow you to visit me in the palace because I was afraid that it would bring trouble to you. This is how you repay me!"
"You can't save me yet, so what's the point of me giving birth to you!"
With a "slap!" sound, Niu Hulu Shitong slapped the Fourth Prince in the face. Her life was in danger, and she was completely defeated. People who had died once were even more afraid of death. She ignored his shocked look and said hatefully:
"You are an ungrateful wolf!"
The Fourth Prince's eyes were dim. If he didn't want to be criticized for being unfilial, why would he come here at the risk of angering the Emperor?
He has ideas about that position, otherwise he wouldn't care about his reputation.
What's more, in those dreams he had, Niu Hulu Shitong was not his mother. After being haunted by these dreams for the past six months, the Fourth Prince, who had no deep feelings for Niu Hulu Shitong to begin with, became twisted in his heart.
Niu Hulu Shitong looked at the Fourth Prince, unaware of his emotional changes. Her eyes were filled with hatred. At this moment, she forgot that the young man in front of her came out of her belly. She just felt that he was useless and couldn't save her. He even spoke well of Concubine Xian. He must be Concubine Xian's child in the previous life, otherwise her own son would not treat her like this.
Yes, if he was her biological son, how could he watch her die?
The fear of death loomed in her heart. Seeing that the Fourth Prince did nothing, Niu Hulu Shitong's mentality completely collapsed. She stubbornly believed that if it were her own child, he would never do this to her. She spoke without thinking and cursed:
"If it's my child, you will never give up on me! Is the only mother in your heart and eyes the virtuous concubine? I really regret giving birth to you!"
"Snapped!"
The Fourth Prince's face was hit and he turned away. He touched his red and swollen cheek with trembling hands, lowered his eyes, and said sarcastically:
"How could you know, mother, whether I am willing to be in your belly?"
Upon hearing this, Niu Hulu Shitong was furious and raised his hand to slap him again: "Rebellious son!"
"Snapped!"
The Fourth Prince tilted his head, pressed the tip of his tongue against the inside of his painful cheek, and smiled at her:
"Mother, let me tell you, in the past six months, I seemed to have had a dream. In the dream, you were not my mother at all. Instead, it was the current Imperial Consort who was my mother..."
His expression became more and more distorted. "It should be her who entered the Royal Father's Mansion. She loved me and took good care of me. Although I still had to study, I lived a happy life in the palace. But now, when I woke up from the dream, everything was in a mess. Mother, please tell me why I had this dream..."
"Is it you? Is it you who stole the life I was supposed to have!"
Everything in the dream happened in the Fourth Prince's mansion. Every bit of it was so real that it was terribly real. Compared with the cruelty of reality, it made the Fourth Prince heartbroken.
When he first had this dream, he thought it was his imagination, but now, he felt that everything in the dream was real. The Imperial Concubine was his mother, and Niu Hulu Shitong was too stupid to give birth to him and take good care of him. For so many years, he had to live on thin ice and had to take care of her from time to time.
But now, she has committed a heinous crime and implicated him.
He is really too tired. It is so tiring to have a mother who can't see the reality!
As soon as he finished speaking, Niu Hulu Shitong stepped back in shock, his face twisted:
"You...you are back too..."
Upon hearing this, the Fourth Prince was puzzled and looked up at Niu Hulu Shitong.
Who would have thought that after seeing this, Niu Hulu Shitong retreated in panic:
"So, you are here to avenge your mother. It's not that you don't want to save me, but you know that I stole everything from your mother, stole you, and ruined your life, so you don't want to. You want me to die!"
The Fourth Prince did not understand what she meant, but based on a few fragments that flashed through his mind, he had an absurd idea in his mind.
Moreover, he had once overheard the conversations between his mother and confidants, and knew that it was his mother who had schemed to squeeze out the Imperial Noble Consort during the selection so that she could enter the Fourth Prince's Mansion at that time.
If the Imperial Concubine had entered the Fourth Prince's Mansion and given birth to him, yes, that's what happened in the dream!
"Hahahaha! So what if you came back? In this life, you crawled out of my belly. Your biological mother will never recognize you, ever! When I die, there will always be a stain on you that you can't get rid of!"
Niu Hulu Shitong suddenly burst into laughter, laughing wildly and happily. Perhaps she was scared to death, or perhaps she was unwilling to hide anything when facing someone who came back like her, so she began to talk about her past and present life like pouring beans.
"Changshengtian is so unfair! Why does he still favor her after coming back to this world?"
She stared at the Fourth Prince without any tenderness, and said aggressively: "Do you know why I don't love you? Because you look a lot like the Fourth Prince in your previous life! As expected, now that you are back, you were never my child!"
Niu Hulu Shitong subconsciously ignored the fact that she looked somewhat similar to her fifth sister. As the Fourth Prince grew older, she began to dislike him. If she had not been pregnant with only this one son, and if she had not been concerned about the position of empress dowager, she would have ignored him and ignored making plans for him.
The Fourth Prince clenched his fists, listening to the life he should have, and comparing it to his current life, he became even more upset:
"You are so cruel!"
"Crack!"
Niu Hulu Shitong slapped the Fourth Prince again, with a fierce look in her eyes: "Sure enough, I was right, you are an ungrateful person! If I had known, I should have strangled you to death when you were born!"
The Fourth Prince's eyes were red with anger. He rushed forward, picked up the white silk on the ground with both hands, wrapped it around Niu Hulu Shitong's neck, and tightened it hard.
He was really fed up with Niu Hulu Shitong's stupidity. If she were alive, she would definitely bring trouble to him. If her words were to get out, he didn't know how many people would laugh at her.
What's more, she hated him, so how could he give her the chance to backstab him.
"Well!"
Niu Hulu Shitong found it hard to believe that he would do this, and she struggled with all her might, trying to pull at the white silk around her throat, but the young man was incredibly strong, and she couldn't pull it free at all. After giving up, she beat the Fourth Prince behind her, but he didn't even frown even though he was hurt.
Until Niu Hulu Shitong's breathing became weaker and his strength diminished, he never thought that he would die in this way.
After the person died, the Fourth Prince finally came back to his senses and realized what he had done. He was so frightened that he dropped the white silk in his hand and fell to the ground, gasping for breath.
He must not be discovered. No one must discover what he has done. If this gets out, he will definitely be criticized, and there will be no place for him in the future.
The Fourth Prince looked around, and finally his eyes fell on the beam of the house, and he had an idea in his mind.
My mother should have died, how can I blame him?
So not long after, the people guarding outside the house suddenly heard a heart-wrenching sound coming from inside the house.
"Eniang!"
They looked at each other and rushed in. As soon as they came in, they saw Niu Hulu Shitong hanged herself and the Fourth Prince kneeling on the ground, holding her dangling legs and crying bitterly.
They even saw clearly visible slap marks on the Fourth Prince's face.
"Mother! My son doesn't want you to die. How can you even give up your life for my son! How can you be so cruel as to hang yourself in front of my son? I'm not afraid of getting you into trouble, mother!"
Chang Feng looked at this scene in horror and quickly stepped forward to support the Fourth Prince who was crying and almost fainting.
"Mother, hit me, keep hitting me. I won't resist. I just beg you not to die, not to die!"
Eunuch Zhang and his companions had solemn expressions on their faces. They dropped white silk from under the beams, and the woman's body fell to the ground.
Eunuch Zhang stepped forward and sniffed, then understood. He bowed to the Fourth Prince and said:
"Fourth Prince, please accept my condolences."
The Fourth Prince's eyes bulged when he heard this:
"Eniang!"
……
On Sheng Huan's side, she pretended to be asleep while listening to Puhua's live broadcast. She never expected that the Fourth Prince would be so cruel.
But it was just a few seemingly true fragments. She didn't originally want to take action against the Fourth Prince so quickly. But it was because the Fourth Prince couldn't see clearly that he actually made some small moves during her pregnancy.
Although the action was small, her health was not good to the outside world, and this could be a life-threatening matter.
Sheng Huan now thinks that the hallucinogenic drugs he administered were quite powerful. Combined with the several images induced by the system, they were able to make the Fourth Prince feel so real that he could be touched by the several images in his dream.
What she didn't expect was that the accident made Niu Hulu Shitong break down and think that the Fourth Prince was just like her, and she successfully made the mother and son fight each other and become enemies.
I'm afraid Niu Hulu Shitong could not rest in peace until his death.
Niu Hulu Shitong died, but the news of her death did not cause any ripples in the palace.
……
The next day, the triplets' baptism ceremony was held as scheduled.
Because it was the first case in the royal family, all the royal relatives came to celebrate.
Prince Yi saw that Yongzheng's face was no longer as gloomy as it had been the past two days. Thinking of what he had heard about the Imperial Concubine being out of danger, a smile appeared on his lips, and he congratulated him repeatedly:
"Brother Emperor, I congratulate you on the birth of your third son! This is truly a great event at the beginning of the year. I can't wait to meet my three nephews and nieces!"
Yongzheng was even more excited when facing his brother Prince Yi:
"My thirteenth brother will be able to see them soon. When they grow up, I will let them come to play with you, their thirteenth uncle."
"That's great. I've never met triplets before. They're so big and auspicious. I'd better hug them and share in the joy."
As they were speaking, Nanny Quanfu came out holding three babies.
Because it was winter, the bathing ceremony was held indoors, and the house was warm with a floor heater.
"Out!"
"Three handsome children, very brave too. Brother Emperor, you are blessed!"
The Thirteenth Prince felt a little emotional when he saw the three children not crying when their clothes were stripped off and placed in the basin.
Yongzheng nodded, pressed the ring, his eyes soft and undisguised, the fatherly love in them focused on the three babies:
“They are really well behaved.”
He looked at the three children, and his heart softened. He had never seen this scene in his previous life, and it had always been his regret. In this life, he could finally watch all this openly, watch them grow up, hug them whenever he wanted, without having to worry so much, and even, he could hear the three children calling him Emperor Father openly.
There were ripples in Yongzheng's heart, and it was not calm at all.
"Ah!"
As if they heard a familiar voice, the three naked babies looked towards Yongzheng.
But when they saw the familiar man next to Yongzheng, their brains went into a state of shutdown.
"!!!"
At this moment, they were screaming wildly in their hearts.
Isn't this Uncle Thirteen?! Oh my god, why is he next to Uncle Four? They seem to be quite close.
The three babies looked around blankly, and then became even more confused.
Isn't the one next to Uncle Thirteen the Fifth Uncle? Well, the ones behind him seem to be Uncle Seventh, Uncle Twelve, Uncle Fifteen, and Uncle Sixteen!
Not only that, there were also many relatives that they had met in their previous lives.
"!!!"
Their silence was deafening.
The three babies looked at each other and saw shock on each other's faces.
With so many familiar faces, they no longer dared to deceive themselves into thinking they had arrived in the unfamiliar Qing Dynasty.
At this moment, a certain idea flashed through their minds. According to the historical trajectory, it was indeed the Fourth Prince Yong who ascended the throne.
Therefore, the Fourth Uncle in front of them was their Fourth Uncle in their previous life, and the Fourth Uncle, the emperor, might be...
Hong Yan swallowed subconsciously. He could not see the figure of his father from his previous life, nor his ninth and tenth uncles. He was finally certain that this world might, maybe... be the world where his fourth uncle, Emperor Yongzheng, ascended the throne.
I left my family behind, and when I restarted, it was still the same world, but my father was a different person. What on earth is going on? !
The three little ones who remained calm even when faced with a huge disaster in their previous life were going crazy.
"Wow, he's so energetic at only three days old. He will definitely be the Baturu of our Qing Dynasty when he grows up!" Fifth Uncle Yinqi laughed.
With the three babies in a daze, the third baptism ceremony officially began.
Aunt Quanfu recited blessings, dipped the branch in her hand in water, shook it, and sprinkled the water on the three naked babies.
"Good fortune comes, wash away the filth, and welcome good fortune!"
"sprinkle!"
