But a loss is a loss. It was Zeng Yaxian's own stupidity that led her to fall into someone's trap.

If she were in the palace, she would probably be murdered within five days without even knowing who her enemy was!

Consort Liang looked at her coldly, no longer caring about family ties: "I only want to know how that Buddhist scripture is doing."

The imperial physician swallowed hard: "Just now, I found a Buddhist scripture among them, but it has been gnawed on by ants."

Consort Liang closed her eyes, a hint of coldness appearing in them: "During the Fengshan ceremony, Zeng spread rumors, distorted the truth, framed others, and played tricks. She is to be fasted for five days and make to copy two hundred scriptures as a warning to others."

This punishment was not as simple as it seemed on the surface; it caused Madam Zhao to lose face in front of everyone, and even Consort Liang abandoned her.

Mrs. Zeng looked up in a panic, tears rolling down her cheeks.

She tugged at Consort Liang's skirt, wanting to say something, but after saying that, she suddenly took a step back and pulled her skirt back.

She gave Song Xizhi a cold look, then left without turning back.

The other ladies also left the courtyard, looking rather dejected, while Consort Zhen stood silently in place.

After everyone had left, she looked up at Song Xizhi. When their eyes met, Consort Zhen went into the room with her.

"Madam He, you are very capable. You turned the tables and won with just one move."

Consort Zhen entered the room, and with a single glance, the nanny closed the door. She slowly sat down on the soft couch, her voice soft and gentle.

Song Xizhi waved his hand: "It's just a mischievous tactic, only good for dealing with Madam Zhao. Consort Liang saw through it a long time ago."

Consort Zhen smiled, and her smile was much more beautiful than before.

“She saw through it, but she still did as you said and dealt with Zeng Yaxian, leaving her without food for five days and utterly humiliated.”

"You are the first person to make Consort Liang suffer in silence."

Consort Zhen spoke with praise in her tone, then suddenly looked up and gazed at Song Xizhi with a warm look: "Speak, what do you want to ask me? That's why you've asked to see me so many times, even at the risk of offending Consort Liang."
