Chapter 176 Consort Fucha
As soon as the restrictions on Suiyu Pavilion were lifted, Zhen Huan eagerly took Jinxi's hand.
He walked hurriedly towards the Cold Palace.
Her body was now at its last gasp, sustained only by hatred.
She used all her strength for every step; if it weren't for Jinxi supporting her...
Zhen Huan didn't know where she would fall.
Zhen Huan's heart was filled with hatred for the deposed Empress Ulanara Yixiu.
Yixiu not only killed her three children and Huanbi, but also ruined the entire Zhen family.
Zhen Huan's hatred for Yi Xiu had penetrated to the bone.
She wished she could tear Yixiu to pieces and grind her bones to ashes to vent her anger.
After Lingxi Hongzhan's death, Zhen Huan soon learned that the culprit who killed Lingxi Hongzhan was once again Ulanara Yixiu.
She waited and waited, and finally Zhen Huan saw the day when the pandemic was over and the Suiyu Pavilion was reopened.
She couldn't wait a moment longer.
At this moment, Zhen Huan no longer cared about her broken body.
She had only one thought in her mind—to avenge her child, Huanbi, herself, and the entire Zhen family.
The moment I stepped into the cold palace, an aura of decay and ruin washed over me like a chilling current.
It sends a chill down one's spine.
Zhen Huan's body was already extremely weak, and this aura made her feel dizzy, but she endured the discomfort.
They continued to move forward with difficulty.
Throughout this journey, Zhen Huan was sustained entirely by the hatred in her heart.
That intense hatred burned like a raging fire in her chest, driving her forward relentlessly.
Jinxi took out an exquisite purse from her bosom and carefully handed it to the head maid of the Cold Palace.
The steward happily accepted the purse, a greedy smile immediately appearing on his face.
She touched her purse, and after having a general idea of what was inside, she nodded in satisfaction.
There's hardly any money to be made in the Cold Palace, so today is a rare treat to make a small fortune.
I wish there were more good things like this.
Then, the steward quickly opened the gates of the Cold Palace, as if afraid that Zhen Huan might change her mind.
With Jinxi's help, Zhen Huan slowly walked into the desolate and lonely Cold Palace.
Upon entering the Cold Palace, Zhen Huan saw several deranged women running around in the courtyard.
Their behavior was so strange that it evoked pity in people.
However, she herself wasn't much different from the women in the cold palace.
Zhen Huan's gaze swept over these mad women, and suddenly,
Her heart skipped a beat—she realized that Ulanara Yixiu was not among these women!
Zhen Huan looked at Jinxi in astonishment, her voice trembling slightly as she said:
"Ulanara isn't listed here. Could it be she's not in the Cold Palace?"
Upon hearing this, Jinxi hurriedly began to carefully examine the group of mad women, and sure enough, she did not see the deposed empress.
Jinxi comforted her, "Your Majesty, don't worry, this servant will go and ask for you right away."
After saying that, she quickly walked towards the head maid of the Cold Palace.
Jinxi approached the head maid, took out a purse from her bosom, and handed it to the maid with a smile.
When the head maid saw the purse, her eyes lit up and her smile became even brighter.
We're rich! We're rich! Today is truly a day of incredible good fortune!
She quickly took the purse, saying repeatedly:
"You're too kind, sir. Please feel free to ask me anything."
Jinxi said politely, "Granny, please tell me, where is that deposed empress now?"
Having received a bribe, the head maid naturally spoke her mind without reservation.
She pointed to a dilapidated hut not far away and said:
"My lord, the deposed empress is in that small room over there."
Zhen Huan looked in the direction the nanny pointed.
See the small house at the very edge; there are still spider webs hanging on its door.
The door was tightly closed, and it was impossible to see what was inside.
After thanking the head maid, Jinxi turned around and, supporting Zhen Huan's hand, walked towards the small house.
The two walked slowly towards the cabin, both feeling a little downcast.
When we got to the front of the hut
Jinxi carefully reached out and gently pushed open the slightly dilapidated door.
The door hinges creaked.
As soon as the door opened, a damp, rotten smell hit you, making you feel nauseous.
Jinxi quickly covered her mouth and nose, then carefully helped Zhen Huan inside.
The room was dimly lit, with only a few weak rays of sunlight filtering through the cracks in the window and falling onto the floor.
It creates patches of mottled light and shadow.
A pungent odor filled the air, a mixture of death and despair.
In a corner of the room, Yixiu was curled up.
Her once jet-black hair had now turned as white as silver, and was disheveled and draped over her body.
Her body was so thin it resembled a skeleton, skin and bones, as if a gust of wind could blow her over.
Her eyes were empty and lifeless, and her whole being seemed numb.
When Yixiu heard the door open, she suddenly raised her head and stared straight at the doorway.
When she saw Zhen Huan walk in, her body visibly trembled, and a look of astonishment appeared on her face.
However, this shock was quickly replaced by a twisted smile.
The Zhen Huan before him looked haggard and bloodless, her green qipao hanging loosely on her body.
The fact that Zhen Huan looked like she was about to die made Ulanara Yixiu feel very pleased.
"Zhen Huan, what brings you here? Oh, I see, you shameless woman, you must have come to laugh at me!"
Yixiu's voice was hoarse and shrill, as if it had been rubbed with sandpaper, which sent chills down one's spine.
Zhen Huan stood at the door, coldly watching Yi Xiu.
Her eyes held no pity or sympathy, only boundless hatred and raging fury.
Enemies meeting are especially hostile.
"Ulanara Yixiu, you wicked woman, you will surely perish because of your many evil deeds!"
You've brought this upon yourself; it's entirely your own fault!
Zhen Huan's voice was cold and resolute, "You have wronged me to this extent, and today I will make you pay for this in blood!"
Ulanara Yixiu laughed upon hearing this, a very sarcastic laugh.
"Do many unrighteous deeds? How laughable! Which woman in the harem has clean hands?"
Some people were just lucky and didn't get caught red-handed.
Blood for blood? Do you think you still have that ability now?
Look at yourself, you're just a dying man too.
Zhen Huan laughed in anger, "So what if I'm about to die? It's worth it if I can take you down with me before I die."
After saying that, she forced herself to walk towards Yixiu step by step.
Jinxi followed behind with a worried expression, her eyes filled with anxiety.
Yixiu watched Zhen Huan approach step by step, but she didn't dodge.
Now relegated to the cold palace, spending her days with those crazy women, she is utterly exhausted.
At first, she hoped the Empress Dowager would help her, but after waiting for so long, she still hadn't received a message from the Empress Dowager.
It seems the Empress Dowager has truly given up on her this time.
Ulanara Yixiu was unaware that the Empress Dowager was now truly in dire straits herself.
She didn't want to appear too pathetic or beg for mercy in front of Zhen Huan.
