Chapter 249 Consort Fucha
Kunning Palace
Fucha Peiyun was in a rare good mood, and asked Ye'er to prepare paper and ink.
Painting
Fucha Peiyun paused slightly with her paintbrush, but she quickly regained her composure and continued sketching on the rice paper.
Ye'er asked softly from the side, "Your Majesty, shall we go to the gate to greet the Emperor?"
Fucha Peiyun shook her head slightly, "No need, since the Emperor has arrived, he will come in on his own."
Her voice was soft as she slowly and deliberately added another stroke.
Soon, the chubby orange arrived at Kunning Palace.
They stopped the person who wanted to report it.
Big Fat Orange walked straight in. Ye'er and the others saw Big Fat Orange come in.
He hurriedly bowed, but was stopped by the glare of the big, fat orange cat.
Fucha Peiyun was engrossed in her painting, seemingly unaware of the arrival of the chubby orange.
The chubby orange cat saw that Fucha Peiyun was painting, but did not make a sound to disturb her.
Looking at Fucha Peiyun's painting with admiration in her eyes
Fucha Peiyun's brush danced lightly on the rice paper, and with each stroke, a clear and elegant landscape painting gradually emerged.
Finally, Fucha Peiyun gently put down her paintbrush, turned around, and smiled slightly:
"The Emperor has arrived, why wasn't anyone informed of his arrival?"
Then Fucha Peiyun curtsied to the fat orange.
Big Fat Orange helped Fucha Peiyun up.
His gaze remained fixed on the painting, and he nodded slightly, saying:
"Ah Jun's painting truly possesses profound artistic conception; I haven't seen such a masterpiece in a long time."
Fucha Peiyun said softly, "It was just something I did to pass the time when I had nothing else to do. It is not worthy of Your Majesty's attention."
"Is there something Your Majesty wants to discuss at Kunning Palace today?"
"What does Ah-Jun think about Consort Zhao being poisoned by cold?" Big Fat Orange asked.
Fucha Peiyun subtly withdrew her hand and half-squatted down, saying...
"It is all my fault for failing to manage the inner palace properly, which led to Consort Zhao suffering this calamity. I beg Your Majesty to punish me."
Big Fat Orange sighed and helped her up, saying:
"If you can be a thief for a thousand days, you can't guard against thieves for a thousand days."
Consort Zhao's situation is truly unpredictable, and it has something to do with you, Ah-Jun.
I don't mean to blame you, but this matter is too strange, and I'm really having a headache.
I ordered Su Peisheng to investigate, but he couldn't find anything wrong, and Wen Shichu was also unable to cure Consort Zhao's cold poison.
If such a bizarre poison were to spread within the palace, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Fucha Peiyun frowned slightly, a thoughtful look flashing in her eyes, and said softly:
"Your Majesty, I find this cold poison quite strange."
Eunuch Su is always efficient, and even he couldn't find any clues. Maybe the poison didn't even come from the palace.
After all, Eunuch Su is a very capable person by your side.
If it was someone from the palace who did it, he shouldn't have been completely unaware of any clues.
Upon hearing this, the chubby orange cat's narrowed eyes suddenly lit up.
A hint of interest appeared on his face, and he pressed on, asking:
"Oh? Ah-Jun, you mean..."
Seeing this, Fucha Peiyun was secretly delighted.
No one knew better than Zhen Yuyao what this so-called cold poison was all about.
Fucha Peiyun touched the jade-green bracelet she always wore on her wrist.
Zhen Yurao tried to scheme against her son, so naturally she had to teach her a lesson.
It just caused a little trouble for Su Peisheng and Wen Shichu.
However, she wouldn't let her own people suffer losses.
Fucha Peiyun knew that her words had diverted the attention of the chubby orange cat.
Then she continued, "Your Majesty, I dare to speculate that this poison might have been brought in from outside the palace by Consort Zhao?"
Perhaps she was already poisoned outside the palace.
It just hadn't taken effect until after he entered the palace, when the poison suddenly took hold.
After hearing this, the chubby orange cat stroked its chin thoughtfully and said:
"You mean the poison had been dormant in Consort Zhao's body for several months, and only recently suddenly manifested?"
Fucha Peiyun nodded quickly in agreement: "That's right."
Since this cold poison is so rare, it might be able to lie dormant in the body for a long time before taking effect.
The chubby orange seemed to be deep in thought, its eyes gradually becoming profound.
He pondered for a moment and then slowly said:
“What Ah-Jun said makes some sense.”
If this cold poison was indeed brought in from outside the palace, then the matter becomes even more complicated.
The matter has come full circle: who exactly poisoned Yu Rao?
Why poison her? Big Fat Orange's biggest concern right now is whether it will affect him.
If this matter is truly investigated, it will likely not be an easy task.
The chubby orange cat has been troubled by this matter for a long time.
He didn't want to keep himself in this state of high tension all the time.
Big Fat Orange looked at Fucha Peiyun and smiled:
"Alright, let's not think about those troubling things for now."
Ah Jun, it's been so long since I've dined with you.
Today I will dine with you, and then we will admire your paintings together.
Fucha Peiyun smiled slightly and responded gently:
"It is my honor that Your Majesty would like to dine with me."
Fucha Peiyun then turned and instructed Ye'er to prepare the meal.
Before long, a table of exquisite dishes was served.
These dishes are delicious in color, aroma, and taste, making them incredibly tempting.
Big Fat Orange and Fucha Peiyun sat facing each other during the meal.
The two chatted happily, and the chubby orange cat gradually relaxed.
After finishing their meal, they went together to the study to admire Fucha Peiyun's paintings.
Big Fat Orange stood in front of the painting, gazing at the landscape with admiration in his eyes.
"This painting has a profound artistic conception and delicate brushstrokes; it is truly a masterpiece!"
"Big Fat Orange exclaimed in admiration."
Fucha Peiyun smiled slightly, "There's always something to learn from so many worlds."
Seeing how much the chubby orange cat loved the painting, she seized the opportunity to say:
"Your Majesty, I have a request that you would be willing to grant."
Upon hearing this, the chubby orange squinted its eyes and asked curiously:
"Oh? What does Ah-Jun want? Tell me."
Seeing the fat orange cat's reaction, Fucha Peiyun cursed inwardly that the old man's suspicions were growing stronger.
But he maintained a smile on his face, pointed to the blank space in his landscape painting, and said:
"Your Majesty, look at the blank spaces in this painting. If your calligraphy could be added, it would certainly enhance the painting considerably."
After hearing this, the chubby orange was taken aback for a moment, then laughed and said:
"I thought you had some important request, Ah Jun, but it turns out you just wanted me to write an inscription. What's so difficult about that?"
Having said that, he strode to the table, picked up the sheep-hair brush on it,
After a moment's thought, he began to paint on the blank space.
His brushstrokes flowed across the paper like clouds and water, each stroke imbued with power and charm.
A short while later, a song
Meng Haoran's "Staying Overnight at Jiande River" vividly comes to mind.
"I moor my boat on the misty islet, and as dusk falls, a new wave of sorrow washes over me."
The wilderness is vast, the sky low, the trees sparse; the river is clear, the moon seems close to man.
It then leaps off the page.
Big Fat Orange's handwriting is vigorous and powerful, with strokes as fluid as dragons and snakes.
The landscape painting complements and enhances the overall artistic value of the painting, which is further enhanced by the landscape painting of Fucha Peiyun.
Fucha Peiyun looked at the calligraphy of the chubby orange cat, her eyes filled with joy.
"Your Majesty's calligraphy is magnificent and powerful. When paired with my painting, it is truly a perfect match."
The chubby orange cat put down its pen, looking at its work with satisfaction.
"With my calligraphy added to Ah-yun's painting, this painting becomes a priceless treasure."
