Chapter 590 The Legend of Zhen Huan An Lingrong 47
After Zhen Huan left, Concubine Hua paced back and forth in the palace, feeling very upset. Huan Yi Xiang was her special fragrance, and no one except the emperor could touch it. If there was really something wrong with this fragrance, then wouldn't it be...
The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became. A chill ran from the soles of her feet to the top of her head.
"Songzhi!" Concubine Hua called out sternly.
"What does your Majesty want?" Songzhi hurried forward.
"Go, get some Huanyixiang and carefully send it out of the palace to find a reliable doctor to check it!" Concubine Hua's eyes were wide open and her tone was sharp.
Songzhi did not dare to neglect it, and quickly replied "yes", and left in a hurry. Concubine Hua sat alone in the palace, feeling very upset. Zhen Huan's words lingered in her mind, like a curse, disturbing her peace.
After a long time, Songzhi came back with a small porcelain box containing some Huanyi incense.
"Your Majesty, I have already brought the Huanyi incense." Songzhi carefully placed the porcelain box on the table.
Hua Fei took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. She opened the porcelain box and a familiar fragrance hit her nose. She had smelled this fragrance for many years and never thought there was anything wrong with it.
But now, the fragrance made her feel nauseous, as if she was smelling poison.
"Songzhi, go there in person and find a reliable doctor to check this spice carefully. Don't let anyone know." Concubine Hua ordered in a low voice.
Songzhi took the order and left. Concubine Hua paced back and forth in the palace, feeling restless. She couldn't imagine how she would face it if there was really something wrong with the Huanyixiang. The emperor... would he really be so cruel?
She stroked her flat belly, feeling a pang of pain in her heart. She longed to bear children for the emperor, but now, this wish became so far away.
As night fell, Songzhi finally came back, her face pale and her eyes full of fear.
"How is it? What are the inspection results?" Hua Fei asked anxiously, her voice trembling a little.
Songzhi fell to her knees with a plop, trembling all over, not daring to look up at Concubine Hua.
"Your Majesty...I deserve to die! I...I..." Songzhi stammered and couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time.
"Tell me quickly! What's going on!" Hua Fei shouted angrily, with an ominous premonition rising in her heart.
Songzhi was so frightened that she trembled all over and said in a trembling voice: "Madam, the doctor said... this Huanyixiang... contains a large amount of musk..."
"Musk?!" Hua Fei felt a black screen in front of her eyes and almost fainted. She held on to the table and barely stood up, but her body was shaky.
Songzhi cried and said, "The doctor said that this musk is extremely strong. Long-term use will cause infertility in women... and... and..."
"And what? Tell me quickly!" Hua Fei shouted.
Songzhi didn't dare to hide it anymore and cried, "The doctor said that the quality of this musk is extremely good and it is definitely not something that ordinary people can afford...it is only...it is only available in the northwest..."
Concubine Hua was stunned as if struck by lightning.
Only the Northwest has it... She knows exactly what this means.
Her brother was in the northwest protecting the emperor's country, but the emperor actually used the things her brother offered to make her infertile. How ironic!
She always thought that it was Concubine Duan who made her infertile, but she never expected that the real murderer was... the Emperor!
The emperor whom she loved so much actually destroyed her right to be a mother with his own hands!
She felt a surge of anger rising from the bottom of her heart, burning her internal organs and causing unbearable pain. She clenched her fists tightly, her nails digging deep into her flesh, but she didn't feel any pain.
"Your Majesty..." She murmured, her voice hoarse.
"Why do you treat me like this..."
She staggered to the dressing table and looked at the pale-faced, empty-eyed woman in the mirror, her heart filled with despair.
She used to be so proud and confident. She thought that since she had the emperor's favor, she could have everything in the harem.
But now, she finally understood that she was nothing but a pitiful pawn, a fool being played around by the emperor!
She picked up an exquisite vase on the table and threw it hard to the ground. The fragments flew everywhere, just like her broken heart at the moment.
Concubine Hua slumped on the cold floor, the pearls and jade on the phoenix crown were crumbling, reflecting her pale face, like a ghost. She had used Huan Yi incense for seven years, seven years! She regarded this incense as a symbol of grace, and fell asleep with it day and night, but now it has become a poison that destroyed her nightmare of being the mother of the country.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..." She whispered, her voice hoarse, tears silently sliding down, leaving two shocking marks on her delicate makeup. "Why do you treat me like this..."
Songzhi knelt beside him, trembling and not daring to speak. She knew that at this moment, Concubine Hua was more terrifying than ever.
Suddenly, Concubine Hua stood up abruptly, with a terrifying light flashing in her eyes.
"I'm going to ask the Emperor for clarification!"
Songzhi hugged Hua Fei's legs tightly and cried, "Your Majesty! Calm down! If you go to the emperor now, it will only make him hate you even more!"
Hua Fei was furious. She pushed Song Zhi away and pointed at her and cursed, "What do you know? I want to let the emperor know that he deceived my feelings and ruined my hopes! He must pay me back what he owes me!"
Songzhi got up and hugged Concubine Hua again, crying: "My queen, I beg you! You can't go now! If you go, the emperor will only hate you more and favor Concubine Li more!"
"That bitch An Lingrong!" Concubine Hua gritted her teeth.
"It's her! It must be her! She is the one who bewitched the emperor and made him treat me like this!"
Songzhi said quickly: "My queen, even if you want revenge, you can't go now! If you go now, the emperor will only catch you, and then you will be finished!"
Hua Fei paused, took a deep breath, and tried to calm herself down. Song Zhi's words were like a basin of cold water, extinguishing the rage burning in her heart.
She sat back in the chair dejectedly, the pearls and jade on the phoenix crown swaying gently, making crisp clash sounds, just like her broken heart at this moment.
"Then what should I do?" she asked weakly, her voice hoarse and with a hint of despair.
Songzhi replied cautiously: "Your Majesty, please calm down and think carefully about what to do next. The most important thing now is to maintain your own position so that you can make a comeback one day!"
Hua Fei closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and tried to calm herself down. Song Zhi was right, she couldn't be impulsive, she had to endure, she had to wait, she had to make the emperor pay the price!
The bedroom was completely silent, with only the heavy breathing of Concubine Hua and the suppressed crying of Songzhi. After a long while, Concubine Hua slowly opened her eyes, her eyes full of resentment and hatred.
