Chapter 205 Noble Lady Fucha
Zhen Huan knew without a doubt that Yu Rao had suffered a lot over the years.
The more Zhen Huan thought about it, the more heartbroken she felt. Her nose stung, and her eyes gradually reddened.
Zhen Huan stood there, feeling conflicted.
She hesitated for a moment, then waved for Jinxi to stay a short distance away, while she slowly approached.
Zhen Huan walked a short distance behind Fu Yu Rao and called out softly:
"Yu Rao".
Upon hearing the sound, Fu Yurao turned around abruptly.
When she saw that the person who came was Zhen Huan, a look of surprise and joy appeared on her face, but she quickly regained her composure.
She quickly curtsied and said:
"This humble concubine greets Your Highness Consort Wan. May Your Highness enjoy boundless blessings."
Looking at Fu Yurao before her, Zhen Huan couldn't help but shed tears.
She said softly, "Yu Rao, I know it's you."
Upon hearing this, Fu Yurao hesitated for a moment, then raised her head, looked directly into Zhen Huan's eyes, and said:
"Sister, just pretend you don't know me."
Although her tone was calm, Zhen Huan could still sense a hint of determination in it.
Zhen Huan felt a pang of pain in her heart; she knew that Yu Rao must have had her reasons for saying that.
Fu Yurao paused, then continued:
"Now I am Fu Yurao, Consort Zhao. Sister, please don't bring up the past anymore."
Upon hearing this, Zhen Huan felt even more distressed.
She couldn't help but say:
"Yu Rao, your sister is just worried about you."
You shouldn't have entered the palace.
"The inner palace is a treacherous place. How can your sister be at ease leaving you all alone?"
However, Fu Yurao's expression remained indifferent, and she said calmly:
"Sister, there's no need to worry. Now that I've entered the palace, I naturally have a way to deal with this."
Zhen Huan was about to say something when Fu Yu Rao interrupted her.
"Sister, there are too many people and too many eyes in this Imperial Garden. It's best if we keep our distance."
Zhen Huan felt a pang of sorrow. She knew that Yu Rao was protecting her, but this unfamiliarity made her very uncomfortable.
"Yu Rao, why do you want to go to the palace? What do you want to do?"
Tell your sister, and she'll help you.
Fu Yurao was silent for a moment, then said softly, "Sister,"
"Don't worry about me, I'll take care of myself."
Zhen Huan: "You are my sister, how can I not care about you?"
Now, only you and I remain in the Zhen family.
"I can't watch you risk your life alone in this deep palace." Zhen Huan's eyes were full of worry and concern.
Fu Yurao remained silent for a while before speaking.
"Sister, you don't need to worry about me anymore. Just focus on being your imperial concubine."
The more Fu Yu Rao remained silent, the more suspicious Zhen Huan became of Yu Rao's purpose in entering the palace.
Yu Rao's plans for entering the palace are grand and undoubtedly extremely dangerous.
Zhen Huan originally did not intend to tell her sister that she was about to die.
Firstly, I didn't want her to be sad or upset, and secondly, I didn't want her to worry about it.
But seeing Yu Rao's resolute attitude, Zhen Huan finally hardened her heart and decided to tell her the truth.
Zhen Huan took a deep breath, calmed herself, and then slowly said:
"Yu Rao, my days are numbered."
These words struck Yu Rao's heart like a heavy hammer.
She stared wide-eyed at Zhen Huan in disbelief.
Zhen Huan continued:
"If you're hiding anything from your sister, you must tell me now."
Your sister knows that what you are planning to do in the palace must be very dangerous, but you cannot go on this risk alone.
"Since I don't have much time left to live, I'd be willing to help you before I die."
Fu Yurao had long known that her sister's life in the palace was not easy.
Behind the apparent glamour lies countless intrigues and power struggles.
She never imagined that her sister's illness meant she wouldn't live much longer.
Yu Rao's face turned deathly pale in an instant, as if all the color had been drained from her.
Her lips trembled slightly, but she couldn't utter a single word.
The indifference in his eyes crumbled instantly, replaced by endless shock, grief, and hatred.
"Sister..." Her voice trembled, and her lips quivered.
"How could this be?"
Tears welled up in her eyes.
He disregarded all rules and rushed to Zhen Huan, tightly grasping her hand.
Zhen Huan gently patted Fu Yu Rao's hand and softly comforted her:
“Sister is alright. Everyone dies eventually. Sister also misses Father and Mother.”
Upon hearing her sister's words, Fu Yurao felt a pang of sorrow in her heart, and tears welled up in her eyes.
She shook her head, unwilling to dwell on the events of the past few years.
Those days were a nightmare for her, one she could never bear to recall.
The reason she was still clinging to life was that she wanted to see her sister and also to avenge the Zhen family.
However, she never expected that her sister would also be dying.
The culprit behind all this was the old emperor.
If the old emperor hadn't chosen my sister to enter the palace, how could she have suffered so much?
If it weren't for the old emperor's decree, how could the Zhen family have been exiled to Ningguta, leading to the tragic deaths of Father and Mother?
And she herself experienced those unbearable things?
Fu Yurao hated the old emperor to the core; she wished she could tear him to pieces.
But she also knew perfectly well that killing the old emperor in this palace was no easy task.
Moreover, her purpose in entering the palace was not solely to kill the old emperor.
The two sisters wept together, tears streaming down their faces like a broken string of pearls.
Seeing Fu Yurao remain silent, Zhen Huan grew increasingly anxious and worried.
Zhen Huan finally couldn't help but reach out and tightly embrace Fu Yu Rao.
"It's all my fault, Yu Rao! If it weren't for me, how could you have suffered so much?"
My sister really regrets it; she regrets entering the palace in the first place!
Zhen Huan's voice was filled with deep self-blame and pain, and tears welled up in her eyes like a flood.
Fu Yurao felt Zhen Huan's embrace, and a wave of grievances and sorrow surged into her heart.
She hugged Zhen Huan tightly in return, her tears soaking Zhen Huan's clothes.
"Sister, how can you blame yourself for this?"
This is all the fault of that tyrannical ruler; he caused our entire family to be destroyed and our lives to be lost!
I entered the palace to avenge my entire family!
Zhen Huan gently stroked Fu Yu Rao's back, comforting her:
"Yu Rao, I know the hatred in your heart, but you must not act rashly or impulsively when it comes to revenge."
My elder sister is now a concubine, so she still has some people she can use.
We need to plan this carefully and come up with a foolproof plan.
The hardships the two sisters have endured over the years weighed heavily on their hearts like a mountain.
This made them feel incredibly heartbroken and wronged.
These emotions kept building up inside, but there was no suitable outlet to release them.
Finally, at this moment, they could no longer suppress their inner pain and could only hug each other tightly and cry their hearts out.
However, even in such a sorrowful moment, they dared not cry out loud, for fear of attracting the attention of others.
