The Empress Dowager was her greatest support in the harem. Now that the Empress Dowager has disappeared and is truly gone forever, she will lose a powerful backer in the future!
The couple, each with their own agenda, immediately summoned others to prepare to do everything in their power to block the news.
However, at this very moment, a shocking event occurred outside the palace!
After Tang Yu threw the Empress Dowager's body in front of Longkodo's house, Longkodo, whose mind was clouded, rushed out excitedly like a madman.
He immediately saw the Empress Dowager's body and was overcome with grief. He embraced the body and wept bitterly.
"Empress Dowager, it is I, Longkodo! Who exactly killed you?"
Our son finally ascended the throne and became emperor. You've only had a few good days, why are you suffering like this?
Who killed you? I will avenge you!
Longkodo uttered these words like a madman right in front of his own house.
The onlookers were instantly shocked, their eyes widening as if they wished they were deaf and blind, unable to believe they had heard such astonishing words.
Even worse, Longkodo, carrying the Empress Dowager's body, ran straight toward the main road where the crowd was growing larger, crying and shouting as he ran.
"Empress Dowager, you died such a tragic death! What will happen to our son, Yinzhen? Someone must have harmed you, and they will harm our son too!"
Longkodo ran as he rushed toward the palace gate.
He lived close to the palace, so the journey wasn't far.
And everyone along the way heard what he said!
This immediately shocked the entire capital city.
Chapter 5 The Legend of Zhen Huan
Therefore, while Yongzheng and Yixiu were sitting in the main hall, busy ordering the news to be blocked, the events outside the palace had already spread like wildfire throughout the streets and alleys.
Upon hearing what had happened at the palace gate, Su Peisheng's face turned deathly pale. He stumbled and scrambled to Yongzheng's side, breathlessly reporting the news.
"Your Majesty, Longkodo... he committed suicide at the palace gate while holding the Empress Dowager's body, and all the way he kept shouting... that you were his son with the Empress Dowager..."
Upon hearing this, Yixiu's face instantly turned deathly pale, devoid of any color.
Emperor Yongzheng flew into a rage and slammed his hand heavily on the table next to him. With a loud "bang," the table cracked.
His eyes widened in anger as he roared at Su Peisheng, "What did you just say? Say it again!"
Su Peisheng, his face pale, cried on the ground and reported it again.
Suddenly, the entire palace fell into a deathly silence, a silence so profound it sent chills down one's spine.
Everyone who heard this felt the shadow of death creeping over them, as if their lives would be in danger at any moment.
At this very moment, several of Yongzheng's younger brothers requested to enter the palace to pay their respects to the emperor.
As soon as the news came, everyone understood that the Empress Dowager's disappearance and Longkodo's insane words could no longer be kept secret.
Yongzheng's face was ashen, almost black with rage, and he exuded a chilling aura of fury. He was like a raging beast, ready to devour anyone at any moment.
He roared inwardly, wondering who possessed such extraordinary abilities to secretly take the Empress Dowager away from the heavily guarded palace and drive Longkodo to such madness!
Yongzheng knew about the secret affair between Longkodo and the Empress Dowager.
But no matter what happened back then, with Longkodo's shrewdness, he would never make a foolish mistake at this crucial moment. Who is manipulating all of this behind the scenes?
The situation was urgent, and Yongzheng had no time to think. In addition to immediately summoning his thirteenth brother, Yinxiang, to the palace, he also hurriedly summoned Nian Gengyao and Zhang Tingyu to the palace.
Yongzheng was well aware of the current situation. His brothers, who had always coveted his throne, would seize this opportunity to make a big fuss and try every means to pull him off the throne.
At this point, he could only gather his trusted confidants to discuss countermeasures.
The first priority is to ensure that one's trusted confidants quickly and firmly grasp military power in the capital, and absolutely not give any opportunity to those with ulterior motives to rebel.
Next, a ruthless policy must be implemented to kill all those who spread rumors without mercy, and this terrible rumor must not be allowed to spread like a plague.
At this moment, Yongzheng had only one thought in his mind: to do everything in his power to protect his throne and never let others' schemes succeed.
Upon receiving the imperial decree, Yinxiang, Nian Gengyao, Zhang Tingyu, and others rushed to the palace.
However, by the time they arrived, it was already completely dark.
Before Yongzheng could explain his plan to them in detail, he had just picked up his teacup and taken a sip of tea when he suddenly collapsed and fainted.
Upon seeing the unconscious Yongzheng Emperor, Tang Yu introduced the vengeful spirits formed from unborn fetuses into Yongzheng's dream.
Some of these aborted fetuses were Emperor Yongzheng's own children.
Fetuses naturally lack the complex thinking of adults, and once they enter a dream state, they become like wild horses that have broken free of their reins and cannot be controlled.
Yongzheng was instantly trapped in this nightmarish dream. A group of hideous and terrifying fetal ghost faces swarmed around him, frantically biting and gnawing at him while screaming, "You killed me!"
Even in this dream, Emperor Yongzheng was terrified, breaking out in a cold sweat.
In his panic, he suddenly remembered the child that Consort Hua had lost, and his eyes widened in anger as he shouted angrily.
"I am the Son of Heaven, and all my actions are for the sake of the Qing Dynasty. I have no choice but to do so! As descendants of the royal family, you should understand my difficulties and the great cause of the Qing Dynasty!"
However, his words not only had no effect, but made the entire dream even more bizarre and eerie.
Upon hearing this, the fetuses, who had been merely gnawing wildly, became even more agitated, as if they had been thoroughly enraged. They bared their teeth and claws, and like a surging tide, they all rushed towards Yongzheng, biting even more fiercely.
Meanwhile, with the death of Longkodo, who controlled the military in the capital, Nian Gengyao, Yinxiang, and Zhang Tingyu were summoned to the palace.
The Eighth Prince's faction outside the palace instantly saw an opportunity!
The Eighth Prince Yinsi immediately summoned his third, fifth, and tenth sons, and then contacted the imperial clan through his wife, the Eighth Prince's Consort.
This is a perfect opportunity to rebel!
If it weren't for the fact that the Ninth Prince was in the Northwest and the Fourteenth Prince was in the Imperial Mausoleum, he could have united even more people.
After all, everyone in the capital had heard that Yongzheng was the son of Longkodo and the Empress Dowager.
If we don't rebel now, when will we?
Chapter 6 The Legend of Zhen Huan
The undercurrents that were brewing throughout the capital were almost entirely orchestrated by Tang Yu.
Actually, she had already calmed down a lot. If she failed to be reincarnated, she could just leave this world.
However, there are too many evil spirits here, and these wronged souls died with their eyes wide open in disbelief. In order to leave this world smoothly, Tang Yu had no choice but to help them.
That night, after trapping Yongzheng in that terrifying dream, Tang Yu turned around and went to help Fuzi take revenge.
Zhou Ninghai's dream was the simplest. As soon as Fuzi entered, she transformed into a demon and began to bite Zhou Ninghai frantically.
In his dream, Zhou Ninghai was terrified, screaming and crying wildly as if he were in the deepest hell.
Fu Zi's attacks were relentless and fierce, almost driving Zhou Ninghai mad in his dream.
Finally, Zhou Ninghai woke up from that terrifying dream, but before he could even breathe a sigh of relief, he saw Fu Zi's hideous and terrifying ghostly appearance appear before him.
He was so frightened that he ran frantically, with Fu Zi closing in on him. In the end, Zhou Ninghai stumbled and fell into the well.
Watching Zhou Ninghai struggle in the well, Fu Zi recalled her own tragic experience and burst into wild laughter.
She finally brought this wicked servant, who aided and abetted the evildoer, to his just deserts.
Having dealt with Zhou Ninghai, Fu Zi turned her second target of revenge to Consort Hua.
However, when she entered Consort Hua's dream, she encountered an unexpected situation.
Consort Hua looked at Fu Zi's grotesque appearance, but instead of being afraid, she laughed contemptuously.
"I could kill you while you were alive, so what if you become a ghost? What do I have to be afraid of?"
"Look at your hideous, grotesque appearance! You think you can scare me? You don't even know who you are!"
Fu Zi's anger flared up instantly, and she tormented Consort Hua in her dream.
The entire dream was like a doll in her hands, at her mercy.
She no longer simply frightened people, but directly began to beat Consort Hua, "slaughtering" her again and again.
Consort Hua was tortured beyond recognition, yet even so, Fu Zi never saw Consort Hua show the slightest sign of begging for mercy.
All that met his eyes was Consort Hua's increasingly furious gaze, and the foul curses and angry words that kept coming out of her mouth.
After the dream ended, Fu Zi went to find Tang Yu, filled with anguish.
"Why? I tormented her so badly, yet she still looks at me with that contemptuous gaze, as if I were just an insignificant ant that couldn't hurt her at all!"
Tang Yu's miscarriages in this lifetime were caused by the Empress, and had no direct connection with Consort Hua.
Therefore, regarding the hatred between Consort Hua and Fu Zi, she simply offered a suggestion in a calm manner.
"Today I interrogated the Empress Dowager's confidants and learned the secret of Consort Hua's miscarriage back then, as well as what exactly the Huan Yi Xiang she had been using was all about."
Consort Hua is an arrogant and haughty person. Why don't you try a different approach to get revenge on her...?
After listening to Tang Yu's suggestion, Fu Zi had an idea.
When Fu Zi re-entered Consort Hua's dream, she conjured up a scene of the Empress Dowager and Emperor Yongzheng discussing how to abort Consort Hua's child, and then revealed the truth behind the carefully crafted Huan Yi Xiang.
At first, Consort Hua could endure the torment of the first half of the night. In her eyes, Fu Zi was nothing but a lowly servant. Even if he became a ghost, he couldn't cause any trouble. She just thought it was a nightmare.
However, when Fukuko showed her those images that were enough to overturn her understanding, her inner defenses began to crumble, and she kept muttering to herself.
"This is absolutely impossible! Absolutely impossible! How could you, a lowly ghost, know such secrets? And how dare you plot revenge against me? I absolutely do not believe your nonsense!"
Fukuko revealed her grotesque, swollen, and putrid face, and let out a chilling laugh.
"If you wake up tomorrow and find a royal physician to examine you, you'll know exactly what's in the Joyful Fragrance."
The fragrance of joy hides the Emperor's schemes against you, the culprit behind your inability to conceive!
As for your poor child who died young, it was the Emperor himself who cut off his chance of survival, simply because he was wary of the excessive power of you siblings, fearing that you would threaten his throne!
Your so-called pampering is nothing but a joke, and you're still deceiving yourself—it's truly pathetic!
Seeing the complex expression on Consort Hua's face—a mixture of shock, pain, and disbelief—Fu Zi finally smiled with satisfaction.
