Grand Consort Yu pursed her lips and echoed with a dry smile, “That’s right, but perhaps the little princess has already eaten before I went.”
She changed the topic back to her thoughts.
“However, Noble Consort Qiao really dotes on the princess too much. After I told her about the matter, Noble Consort only said to follow the princess’s wishes.”
Grand Consort Yu sighed faintly and pretended to have a headache. “I can understand Noble Consort’s love for her daughter, but my Raorao still can’t open her eyes and feels uncomfortable from the sun. What should I do?”
The Empress held the teacup and was shocked. “She can’t open her eyes?”
Grand Consort Yu was secretly delighted.
The empress had finally taken the bait.
She nodded repeatedly and frowned bitterly. “That’s right. My Raorao’s body has been weak since she was young and our family treats her like a treasure. Who would have thought that such a thing would happen on her first day of class?”
Worry appeared in Empress Du’s gentle eyes.
“That won’t do. Grand Consort Yu, listen to my advice. Hurry up and bring Commandery Princess Rouqing back to the fief now!”
Grand Consort Yu was stunned.
Why was Du Yilan’s answer different from what she had imagined?
She let out a single syllable in a daze. “Huh?”
Empress Du said with a considerate expression, “I’ll tell you this secretly. His Majesty is healthy. If he finds out that someone is sick in the palace, he’ll definitely be unhappy.”
“When His Majesty finds out, it’ll be too late to chase Commandery Princess Rouqing out. To girls, the most important thing is reputation. At that time, the entire world will know that His Majesty despised Commandery Princess Rouqing.”
Empress Du patted Grand Consort Yu’s shoulder. “Grand Consort, Prince Guang and the princess consort are young. You’ve been in the palace before and know very well how bad His Majesty can get when he loses his temper. I advise you to leave quickly!”
Only then did Grand Consort Yu seem to have woken up from her dream.
She quickly waved her hand. “No, no, no. Your Majesty, you’ve misunderstood. Raorao isn’t sickly.”
Empress Du looked at her in confusion. “Didn’t you say that the Commandery
Princess hasn’t been in good health since she was young?”
“However, after the doctor’s treatment, her body is very good now. It’s just that her eyes were stung by the sunlight today, so her eyes aren’t feeling well.” Du Yilan let out a long “oh” as if she had come to a realization. She sighed softly. “If she can’t see in the future, that will be a troublesome matter. You have to take good care of her for the next few days.
“Come, pass down my decree. Commandery Princess Rouqing isn’t feeling well and is allowed to recuperate in her room for five days. No one is allowed to enter and disturb her. Commandery Princess must be given some peace!” Grand Consort Yu was stunned.
Didn’t Empress Du’s decree mean that Gu Rao was to be locked up?
They had just arrived in the capital and they needed to go around to make connections.
Why was this Empress Du even more ruthless than Noble Consort Qiao?!
Grand Consort Yu hurriedly wanted to explain, but Empress Du pressed her glabella.
She suddenly frowned in discomfort. “Grand Consort, please forgive me for not being able to accompany you to relieve your boredom. It’s dark on the way. I’ll send two more palace servants to send you back.”
The palace maid standing at the side quickly supported the Empress and sent her into the hall.
When Grand Consort Yu walked out of Fengyi Palace, soft wind in the spring night blew at her.
She seemed to have woken up from a dream.
What had she experienced with Noble Consort Qiao and Empress Du just now?
She originally wanted to plead for mercy for Gu Rao and pretend to be pitiful to seek justice.
Why did she end up getting a five-day grounding punishment for Gu Rao?!
Could it be that she had really gotten old?!
Could she no longer figure out what these consorts in the harem were thinking?!
Grand Consort Yu regretted her actions.
Grand Consort Yu regretted her actions.
After she left, Empress Du leaned against the bed and no longer looked uncomfortable..
