Chapter 49 Consort Fucha Awakens
Chapter 49 Consort Fucha Awakens
The chubby orange cat hurried as fast as it could and finally returned to the palace on the afternoon of the third day.
After returning to the palace, the chubby orange cat didn't have time to rest. After a short break, it rushed towards Lingkun Palace without stopping.
His heart was with Consort Nian, Nian Shilan, and he hurried along, eager to see her immediately.
The moment the chubby orange cat stepped into Nian Shilan's bedroom in Lingkun Palace, he immediately saw Nian Shilan lying on the bed.
Her face was as pale as a sheet of paper, completely devoid of color;
Her once beautiful face now looked extremely haggard.
What worried Big Orange even more was that Nian Shilan's smooth forehead was wrapped in a white cloth strip.
You can still faintly see streaks of blood seeping out.
Big Fat Orange quickly walked to the bedside, bent down and gently held Nian Shilan's hand, his eyes full of heartache.
He gazed at Nian Shilan's frail face, his voice trembling slightly as he spoke:
"Shilan, wake up. Shilan, Shilan, wake up."
Big Fat Orange called for a long time but Nian Shilan didn't wake up, so he remembered to ask Songzhi, who was standing to the side.
"Your wife still hasn't woken up?"
Songzhi wiped away her tears, fearing that her mistress might never wake up again.
"Your Majesty, the Empress has not woken up since the day she was injured."
"What did the imperial physician say? Su Peisheng, go and fetch the imperial physician who examined Consort Hua's pulse before, as well as Zhang Mi,"
Big Fatty Orange suddenly remembered that Wen Shichu, who had developed the prescription for the plague, seemed to have pretty good medical skills.
Then he added, "And also, find Wen Shichu."
Su Peisheng quickly responded and turned to leave.
Soon, several imperial physicians arrived at Yikun Palace, all of them panting heavily.
Wen Shichu was alright, being young and healthy, but it was tough on Physician Li and Zhang Mi.
The two of them were getting on in years, and running like that was really taking a toll on their health.
After the group paid their respects to the chubby orange cat, they began to take Consort Hua's pulse.
The first to step forward was Physician Li, who had previously treated Consort Hua.
He rushed to the bedside and gently placed his fingers on Consort Hua's pulse.
However, in just a moment, his previously relaxed brows furrowed tightly, as if he had encountered an extremely difficult situation.
Everyone's hearts tightened at the sight. After a long while, Physician Li slowly released his grip and shook his head helplessly.
Then, Zhang Mi quickly took over and carefully took Consort Hua's pulse as well.
His expression grew increasingly solemn, his lips pressed tightly together, and he remained silent.
Time passed by, and the room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Finally, it was Wen Shichu's turn. He took a deep breath, steadied himself, and
Then he carefully placed his fingers on Consort Hua's wrist.
Unlike the previous two imperial physicians, Wen Shichu's expression, besides being focused, also seemed to carry a hint of doubt.
Big Fat Orange could no longer contain his anxiety. Seeing that Wen Shichu had remained silent for a long time, he hurriedly asked:
"How is it? What's the situation?"
Wen Shichu then raised his head, bowed respectfully to the chubby orange cat, and slowly began to speak:
"Your Majesty, in my humble opinion, the Imperial Concubine should have woken up by now."
For some reason, the Empress remains unconscious to this day.
Your Majesty's humble servant suspects... perhaps it's because Your Majesty's health is simply too weak and frail.
Therefore, it may require a longer period of careful conditioning.
Only with sufficient rest and sleep can she gradually regain her former energy and vitality.
If Her Majesty still hasn't woken up by tomorrow...
Your Majesty, I will consider trying acupuncture to see if it can prevent you from waking up.
Big Fat Orange looked at Zhang Mi and Physician Li, and seeing them nod, he had no choice but to comply.
Faced with this helpless situation, even the fat orange cat, as the ruler of a country, was completely at a loss.
Now that things have come to this, we have no choice but to do as the imperial physician suggested.
He knew very well that even if he just stayed here and waited, it wouldn't make much of a difference.
So, the chubby orange shook its head helplessly and turned its gaze to the group of palace maids and eunuchs, including Songzhi, who were standing to the side.
He gave the order in a stern voice with a stern face:
"You people must be on your guard for me!"
We must serve Consort Hua with utmost care and diligence, and absolutely cannot be negligent in the slightest.
Once it is discovered that the Imperial Concubine has awakened, you must immediately come to report to me, understand?
Songzhi and the others quickly agreed. After instructing the imperial physicians to pay attention to Consort Hua's condition, Da Pang Ju left Yikun Palace.
The Empress returned to the palace the next day. She was tired from her journey and went back to her chambers to wash up and rest.
Despite her reluctance, as the head of the harem, she had no choice but to visit Consort Hua at Yikun Palace to inquire about her condition.
So the Empress dressed herself up and went to Yikun Palace with dignified bearing.
As luck would have it, just as the Empress was about to arrive at Yikun Palace,
Unexpectedly, she ran into the chubby orange cat who had also come to visit Consort Hua.
The Empress, with her usual smile, said, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects. May Your Majesty be well."
The Emperor nodded slightly in acknowledgment, and then walked into Yikun Palace with the Empress.
When the two arrived at Nian Shilan's bedroom,
However, they found that the usually arrogant and domineering Consort Hua was still unconscious with her eyes closed.
Physician Wen, standing to the side, was already prepared. He held silver needles in his hand, his expression focused.
I was planning to give Nian Shilan acupuncture to see if I could wake her up.
Surprisingly, at this moment, Cao Qinmo stood quietly before Nian Shilan's sickbed.
When everyone saw the Emperor and Empress enter, they immediately stopped what they were doing and paid their respects to them.
Big Fat Orange waved his hand, and everyone stood up.
The chubby orange cat looked at Cao Qinmo with a questioning look in its eyes.
"What brings Consort Cao here?" Cao Qinmo bowed respectfully.
"Your Majesty, your concubine and Wenyi are deeply grateful for the care and attention of the Noble Consort."
Hearing that Her Majesty has not yet woken up, I am extremely worried and have come to visit her.
The chubby orange cat said, "Hmm, you're a grateful person. I'll go see Wenyi when I have time."
Cao Qinmo said, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty."
The empress stood by, her smile enigmatic.
Wen Shichu stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty the Empress, I will now administer acupuncture to Consort Hua."
The emperor nodded. Wen Shichu then carefully inserted the silver needles into the acupuncture points.
A moment later, Consort Hua let out a soft moan and slowly opened her eyes.
Big Fat Orange stared intently as Nian Shilan slowly opened her eyes, and when she saw the incredibly clear look in them, she had a bad feeling.
The chubby orange tentatively called out, "Shilan."
Nian Shilan, however, shouted defensively, "Old man, who are you? Why are you so close to me?"
The Empress's expression changed. "Consort Hua, you must not be disrespectful to the Emperor."
Nian Shilan rolled her eyes at the Empress, "Who do you think you are, old woman? Making such a fuss here."
Everyone was shocked, and the Empress was furious. "Outrageous! Consort Hua, are you feigning illness to deliberately mock the Emperor?"
Nian Shilan crossed her arms over her chest, showing no fear.
"I don't care who you are, old woman. I am not Consort Hua. You have mistaken me for someone else."
Nian Shilan's few words sent chills down the spines of everyone present.
At this moment, Cao Qinmo's eyes darted around, and she stepped forward and said softly:
"Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine seems to have lost her memory. Perhaps we should have Physician Wen examine her more closely."
The chubby orange tree thought this made sense, so it ordered Wen Shichu to treat the patient again.
Wen Shichu walked to Nian Shilan's bedside again, about to reach out and take her pulse once more.
However, Nian Shilan recoiled like a startled fawn, her hands groping around.
And he shouted loudly:
"Who are you? How dare you approach me like this!"
Don't be rude to me, or I'll whip you!
"If you get my dad arrested again, I'll have my brother teach you a lesson!"
This left Wen Shichu momentarily at a loss, and a fine layer of sweat instantly appeared on his forehead.
Wen Shichu sheepishly withdrew his hand, no longer daring to take another step forward.
Nian Shilan stared wide-eyed, looking around at the unfamiliar surroundings in horror.
She cried out in panic when she found herself lying in a completely unfamiliar bed:
"Where is this place? Father, Mother, Brother, Songzhi, and Zhou Ninghai, where are you all?"
Just then, Songzhi, who had been waiting to the side, quickly squeezed forward.
She held Nian Shilan's hand and gently comforted her:
"Your Majesty, do not be afraid, Songzhi is here with you."
Although Zhou Ninghai, who was standing a little further away, was extremely anxious, he dared not step forward rashly because of his status.
"Your Majesty, your servant is here."
Upon seeing the familiar Songzhi, Nian Shilan relaxed slightly, let out a long sigh of relief, and asked:
"Songzhi, tell me quickly, where is this place? Where are my parents and brothers? I want to go home so much..."
Before Songzhi could answer, the chubby orange cat who had been standing nearby finally couldn't hold back any longer and strode forward to say:
"Shilan, do you really not remember me?"
"I am the Emperor, and you are my beloved concubine!"
Upon hearing this, Nian Shilan was taken aback.
Then he stared intently at the big, fat orange cat with an incredulous and wary look.
She acted as if the person before her was a terrifying monster. Then, without any hesitation, she retorted:
"What emperor? I think you're just a lecher! How can an emperor be as old as you?"
Besides, I'm only twelve years old this year, don't try to fool me!
These words were like a sharp sword piercing straight into the heart of the chubby orange cat.
His face instantly turned ashen.
However, knowing that Nian Shilan was in a special situation, he could not blame her and could only suppress his anger.
The chubby orange cat took a deep breath and said as gently as possible, "Shilan, I know you have lost your memory."
But I am truly the Emperor; look at me closely.
Nian Shilan turned her face away and snorted:
"No matter who you are, I'm going home to find my parents. If you keep bothering me, I'll have someone throw you out."
The big, fat orange cat kept saying, "You, you, you!"
The Empress said, "How dare you, Consort Hua! You are utterly disrespectful!"
Cao Qinmo said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty the Empress, please calm down. The Imperial Concubine is currently suffering from amnesia and did not mean to be rude."
Songzhi kowtowed, "Your Majesty, the Empress and Consort Cao are right. Please do not hold my lady against you."
Wen Shichu said, "In my humble opinion, the Imperial Concubine has probably forgotten a painful memory due to some kind of trauma."
