HCB Chapter 294 Consort Fucha
Chapter 294 Consort Fucha
Yunxi feigned composure and rose to bow to the large, chubby orange:
"Your Majesty, this matter is my fault. I was blinded by lust."
This has nothing to do with Yu Rao; if anyone should be punished, it should be my younger brother.
Zhen Yurao also hurriedly said:
“Your Majesty, it was a moment of confusion on my part, and it has nothing to do with Prince Shen.”
Big Fat Orange never expected that this adulterous slut was actually Zhen Yu Rao and Prince Shen.
As expected, the Zhen sisters are all the same—shameless, unfaithful, and promiscuous.
He just hadn't expected that the usually honest and well-behaved Yunxi...
He actually coveted his woman, just like Yunli.
Seeing the two of them defending each other, the chubby orange cat became even more furious.
The chubby orange cat was so angry that its eyes widened, but it could only sit there staring blankly, unable to utter a single word.
Nian Shilan added fuel to the fire from the side:
"Your Majesty, Prince Shen and Consort Zhao are so bold; their friendship is truly unbreakable."
Big Fat Orange's face had turned ashen. He stared intently at Zhen Yu Rao and Yun Xi, his eyes filled with anger and disappointment.
He was already physically weak, and now he was so angry that he was trembling all over and his breathing became rapid.
Seeing this, Nian Shilan revealed a gloating smile.
Nian Shilan deliberately walked to the sedan chair of the big fat orange cat, bent down and said:
"Your Majesty, look at these two people. One is your beloved Consort Zhao, and the other is your own younger brother."
They are so audacious as to commit such immoral acts in your Yuanmingyuan.
"What do you suggest we do with them?"
Big Fat Orange gritted his teeth. Although he couldn't speak, his eyes showed his anger.
He stared intently at Yunxi and Zhen Yurao, as if he wanted to devour them.
Seeing the big orange cat's gaze, Zhen Yurao felt even more frightened, knowing that this matter was beyond redemption.
She whispered to Yunxi, "It's all my fault. I'm the one who ruined you."
Yunxi held Zhen Yurao's hand tightly and whispered, "Yurao, don't be afraid, I'll find a way."
However, he also knew that this matter had escalated too much and was probably not something they could easily resolve.
But as a man, he couldn't shift the blame onto Yu Rao and make a woman bear the responsibility.
If he hadn't suddenly appeared, Yu Rao could still be living a peaceful life.
It was his uncontrollable passion that ruined Yu Rao.
Yunxi took a deep breath, trying her best to appear more composed.
He bowed to the large, chubby orange cat again, his voice trembling slightly but firm:
"Your Majesty, Fourth Brother, your humble servant knows his mistake."
It's all my brother's fault. It was my brother who forced Yu Rao. It has nothing to do with her.
Please forgive her; I, your younger brother, will bear all the blame.
Big Fat Orange didn't soften at all because of Yunxi's words.
He felt that none of them took him seriously.
He wished he could tear Yunli and Yunxi to pieces.
Seeing that Da Pang Ju was just as smug, Nian Shilan felt even more pleased.
She deliberately asked the fat orange, "Your Majesty, look at these two people, so bold, their crimes are truly unforgivable."
"What do you suggest we do with them?"
The fat orange cat's eyes were bloodshot, and its veins were bulging.
He glared at Nian Shilan, as if questioning why she had put him in such an awkward situation.
Why go to such extremes?
They stomped on his face repeatedly.
He can't say anything or do anything now, so why bother asking him anymore?
He wanted nothing more than to grind the adulterous couple to dust, but could he even utter it?
Will Nian Shilan do as he wishes?
Big Fat Orange knows it won't.
Seeing that Da Pang Ju didn't speak, Nian Shilan smiled and said:
"If it is inconvenient for the Emperor Emeritus to speak, then I shall handle this for you."
In my opinion…
Before Nian Shilan could finish speaking, Zhen Yurao interrupted her.
Zhen Yu Rao saw that Xi was protecting her like this, instead of acting like Hongli.
By blaming Qingying, Zhen Yurao felt that she hadn't loved the wrong person.
That way, her life would have been worthwhile.
Zhen Yurao interrupted Nian Shilan, her voice carrying a hint of determination and resolve.
She raised her head, looked directly at the large, chubby orange cat, and said:
"Your Majesty, it was I who deliberately seduced Prince Shen."
It's all my fault, it has nothing to do with him.
The chubby orange cat's gaze gradually shifted from anger to shock.
He stared intently at Zhen Yurao, seemingly unable to believe that she would say such a thing.
Upon hearing Zhen Yurao's words, Yunxi was startled. He quickly grasped Zhen Yurao's hand and said:
"Yu Rao, don't say that. I forced you, you did nothing wrong."
Zhen Yurao gently freed herself from Yunxi's hand.
Zhen Yurao's voice was as cold as ice, and her eyes were devoid of any emotion.
It was as if they were talking about something that had nothing to do with them.
She continued, "Do you really think I like you?"
"If I could find a suitable target, I wouldn't have contacted you."
Yunxi's face turned pale instantly; he couldn't believe he was hearing such words.
His heart was filled with shock and pain, as if he had been stabbed hard.
He looked at Zhen Yurao, his eyes filled with disbelief: "Yurao, what... what did you say?"
Zhen Yurao ignored Yunxi.
Zhen Yurao's voice carried a hint of sarcasm, and her eyes were filled with hatred.
He stared intently at the large, chubby orange cat, as if trying to see right through him.
She continued, "If it weren't for avenging our Zhen family..."
Do you think I would willingly enter the palace to serve someone like you, who smells like an old person and is halfway to the grave?
I'd rather marry a commoner and live a hasty life than not see you once.
Every time I'm in contact with you, I feel incredibly disgusted.
Yunxi is young and strong, I'm going to deliberately seduce him.
It will make you lose face.
It's all because of you, you tyrant, that our Zhen family has been destroyed.
My father and mother are gone, and my sister Huanbi and her child have both died.
You couldn't even protect the twins my eldest sister gave birth to after so much trouble?
Nian Shilan thoroughly enjoyed listening to Zhen Yurao pointing at the big fat orange's nose and cursing.
This is all rightfully deserved by the big, chubby orange cat.
However, upon hearing Zhen Yu mention Zhen Huan's twins, Nian Shilan still interjected.
"Zhen Huan's twins were born from her affair with Yunli."
Zhen Yurao and the others narrowed their eyes slightly upon hearing this.
All the servants present shrank back, trying to make themselves as inconspicuous as possible.
But its ears perked up and twitched involuntarily.
Big Fat Orange was not grateful to Nian Shilan.
These twins aren't his; it's not something to be proud of.
Zhen Yurao snorted coldly, "So what if it is? You vicious woman have no right to talk about my sister."
My sister betrayed the tyrannical emperor because he forced her into it.
Upon hearing that Zhen Yurao dared to insult her mistress, Songzhi immediately stepped forward.
He slapped Zhen Yurao across the face.
"How dare this lowly servant girl insult my mistress? She has no sense of right and wrong."
Zhou Ninghai was slower than Songzhi because of his limp, and he saw that Songzhi had already made her move.
He cursed himself for being too slow.
Seeing this, Nian Shilan was very satisfied with Songzhi's quick reaction, and said...
“Songzhi, come back. Be careful, your hand hurts. Why should a dying person care?”
"Yes, ma'am."
Songzhi wanted to slap Zhen Yurao twice more, but upon hearing this, she immediately retreated behind Nian Shilan.
Upon seeing Zhen Yurao being beaten, Yunxi immediately rushed forward, hugged her tightly, and glared angrily at Songzhi.
Seeing this, Nian Shilan coldly said, "Prince Shen, don't forget that you are now a criminal."
They can barely protect themselves.
Yunxi, suppressing her anger, shielded Zhen Yurao behind her and said:
"Your Majesty, if you have any problems, come at me. Don't make things difficult for Yu Rao, a woman."
Nian Shilan sneered, "Prince Shen is indeed deeply affectionate and righteous; today, I will have him beaten to death with clubs."
That was also to clean house for the sake of the royal family's reputation.
Since you're protecting them so much, then none of you will have an easy time today.
Your Majesty, I believe that Consort Zhao has committed a heinous crime by seducing a member of the imperial family and should be executed.
This Prince Shen has disregarded moral principles and should be severely punished.
Big Fatty Orange was already furious. He had previously worried that Nian Shilan was deliberately trying to annoy him.
As for keeping those two wretches alive, they were naturally more than happy to hear that Nian Shilan wanted to deal with them.
Fearing that Nian Shilan might change her mind, Da Pang Ju quickly nodded.
Zhen Yurao tightly covered her swollen cheek with her hands at this moment.
Despite the pain, she struggled to break free from Yunxi's embrace.
She straightened her back and stared fearlessly at the large, fat orange in front of her.
His eyes revealed a resolute and determined look.
"I, Zhen Yurao, never regret what I've done!"
Her voice trembled slightly, but it was full of strength.
"Today I have managed to make you, this tyrant, lose all face. Even if I die, I will have no regrets!"
I only regret not killing you sooner.
Immediately afterward, before anyone could react, Zhen Yurao...
She suddenly stood up, concentrating all her strength in her legs.
Then, like an arrow released from a bow, it hurtled straight toward the wall.
She moved with lightning speed; no one even had time to utter a cry of surprise.
She had already crashed into the hard wall like a cannonball.
Yunxi realized what was happening and tried to use her body to block Zhen Yurao from crashing into the wall.
However, despite Yunxi's swift reaction, it was ultimately too late.
With a loud bang, Zhen Yurao's forehead slammed hard against the wall.
The impact was so powerful that it seemed to make the entire room tremble.
Instantly, blood gushed from Zhen Yurao's forehead and cheeks like a fountain.
It stained her originally fair skin red, and also stained the ground beneath her red.
"Yu Rao!" Yunxi cried out in alarm, holding her tightly in his arms, his eyes filled with panic and self-reproach.
He gently stroked her forehead, trying to stop the bleeding, but blood continued to gush from the wound.
Seeing this, Nian Shilan felt no joy whatsoever.
This scene felt strangely familiar, reminding her of An Lingrong from years ago.
And my past self.
Nian Shilan thought she had long forgotten about An Lingrong, that minor character.
Unexpectedly, she still clearly remembered the way An Lingrong looked when she hit her head against the wall.
How many beautiful women have lost their lives in this imperial harem?
The chubby orange cat watched this scene with mixed feelings.
Zhen Yurao's face was covered in blood as she stared blankly at Yunxi.
"Yun...Xi...I'm sorry, I ruined you, you forgot...me."
Zhen Yurao's breathing grew weaker and weaker; she used her last bit of strength...
Gently holding Yunxi's hand, he whispered:
You...must...live well...forget...me...forget...this...ill-fated relationship."
Yunxi held her tightly, tears blurring his vision.
He choked up as he said, "Yu Rao, I won't forget you, I will never forget you."
I will spend the rest of my life remembering you, remembering every moment we spent together.
Please don't go, please don't go...
However, the light in Zhen Yurao's eyes had faded, her hands gradually loosened, and her body slowly grew cold.
Yunxi knew that Yu Rao did this to protect him.
He was filled with regret; he shouldn't have come to the Yuanmingyuan.
He's the one who ruined Yu Rao; he deserves to die.
He killed Yu Rao; he owes Yu Rao a life.
Yunxi kissed Zhen Yurao's face, then laid down Zhen Yurao's body.
Yunxi stood up, his body trembling slightly, his eyes filled with despair and pain.
He stared wide-eyed at Zhen Yuyao's lifeless body with deep sorrow.
Tears flowed like a burst dam, streaming from her eyes and sliding down her cheeks.
His heart was breaking, consumed by self-blame and guilt.
He felt like a sinner, that he was the one who caused Zhen Yurao's death.
He was the one who caused this beautiful and kind woman to lose her life.
"Yu Rao, it's all my fault..."
Yunxi murmured to herself, her voice low and trembling.
"I'm coming to join you, so we won't be alone on the road to the underworld."
When Nian Shilan heard this, her heart tightened.
She couldn't let Prince Shen die in the Yuanmingyuan.
The death of Zhen Yurao is easy to handle.
But Prince Shen was different.
Prince Shen is a member of the imperial clan; any mistakes he makes will be handled by the Imperial Clan Court.
If he were to die in the Yuanmingyuan under such unclear circumstances, the imperial family would certainly not let it go and would definitely hold him accountable.
At that time, it will be very troublesome for Nian Shilan to deal with it.
Moreover, once the affair between Yunxi and Zhen Yurao becomes public...
It would bring shame to the royal family and could cause trouble for Empress Fucha Peijun and her son.
Nian Shilan originally only wanted to use this incident to get revenge on Big Fat Orange.
But she absolutely did not want things to escalate too much and become unmanageable.
However, Da Pang Ju's thoughts at this moment were completely different from Nian Shilan's.
That Yunxi dared to cuckold him, she deserves to die!
He wished Yunxi would die immediately in the Yuanmingyuan to vent his hatred.
With Yunxi dying at the Yuanmingyuan, the imperial family certainly wouldn't stand idly by.
They'll definitely hold Nian Shilan accountable, and maybe someone will come to his rescue then.
Seeing that Prince Shen looked resolute, as if he truly intended to die, Nian Shilan...
Startled, he immediately shouted, "Help! Stop him!"
Before she could finish speaking, Zhou Ninghai rushed forward like an arrow released from a bow.
Despite his slight limp in one leg, it did not affect his speed or agility in the slightest.
He rushed forward and pinned Yunxi down, rendering him unable to move.
Yunxi was pinned down by Zhou Ninghai, yet he still refused to give up.
He struggled desperately, his eyes bloodshot, as if they were about to spit fire.
His voice was hoarse from excessive excitement, and he shouted at the top of his lungs:
"Let me die! What's the point of my life?"
Seeing this, Nian Shilan's face darkened, and she said coldly:
“Prince Shen, if you die like this, what will become of the royal family’s reputation?”
You have committed a grave error and should be handed over to the Imperial Clan Court for punishment.
At this moment, Yunxi was only thinking about dying for Zhen Yurao; he couldn't think of anything else.
He kept struggling to commit suicide.
Seeing this, Nian Shilan gave Zhou Ninghai a wink, and Zhou Ninghai received it.
With a single chop to the neck, Prince Shen was knocked unconscious.
