Wait… what did she call me? Jieyu?

"Consort Nan is truly lucky. She was injured and still got promoted. His Majesty really does treat you differently. But I wonder how long she can hold this position." Consort De's words were somewhat sarcastic.

Nan Zhiyun's expression immediately darkened. No matter what, to him she was just someone he hated, and he could do whatever he wanted with her.

Consort De felt relieved to see Nan Zhiyun's disheartened appearance.

"Consort Nan, your back injury is so serious, and the medicine hasn't been applied yet. Let me continue applying the medicine for you," Consort De said.

Nan Jieyu didn't respond at all. Naturally, she couldn't refuse. It seemed that these things were also arranged by Yu Jingchen.

Consort De's movements were heavy, and Nan Zhiyun could imagine what her back looked like now. She was afraid of the pain, but she remained silent.

"I haven't taken care of many people before, so if I've done anything to make you uncomfortable, Consort Nan, please bear with it," Consort De said again.

"This concubine dares not," Nan Zhiyun said.

Consort De looked at it with some disdain, and then prepared to take the medicine from the other side. The medicine was placed there because it was too hot, and the temperature was still very high. Liu Zhi had to bring it over on a plate.

"Let me help you up, Consort Nan. It's not good to take medicine while you're asleep," Consort De said. Without paying attention to the wound on Nan Zhiyun's back, she pulled her up to sit up. Nan Zhiyun was already sweating from the pain.

"No need to trouble Your Highness, let me do it myself." Nan Zhiyun said, intending to take the medicine herself, but was stopped by Your Highness.

"Eh? Consort Nan is still injured. How can we let you do these things?" Consort De said.

Then, she wrapped the rim of the cup with a handkerchief, picked up the medicine bowl, and scooped out a spoonful. Nan Zhiyun didn't know that the medicine was still very hot. After the spoonful of medicine entered her mouth, she was burned quite badly and spat it all out.

"Ouch!" Consort De exclaimed, then knocked over the medicine bowl in her hand, spilling the medicine all over Nan Zhiyun, especially her hands, which were scalded red.

"Ouch!" Nan Zhiyun was badly burned.

"Oh, I'm so sorry, Consort Nan, you suddenly vomited up the medicine, and I couldn't hold it steady." Although Consort De said this, there was no apology on her face, but rather more schadenfreude.

“It was my fault,” Nan Zhiyun said, not wanting to argue with her.

"Indeed, Consort Nan is quite difficult to please. She can't even drink her medicine. What's wrong? Is she afraid of bitterness?" Consort De asked.

"This concubine is unworthy of serving Consort De. Consort De is of noble birth and should perhaps return first?" Nan Zhiyun's face was pale, and she had little strength.

"Does Consort Nan dislike me?" Consort De's expression immediately turned cold.

"This concubine dares not," said Consort Nan, her face revealing no emotion.

"How dare you! Nan Zhiyun, what kind of attitude is this? Do you really think I came here to serve you? Don't you know your own status and position? Does His Majesty dislike you so much that I need to remind you?" Consort De suddenly became angry. There was no one else around, so she naturally didn't need to pretend to be kind and magnanimous.

"It was my slip of the tongue. If I have offended Consort De, please forgive me." Nan Zhiyun had no mood to deal with her.

Consort De was so angry at Nan Zhiyun's behavior that she raised her hand, wanting to slap her.

But before she could deliver the slap, someone outside shouted, "His Majesty has arrived!"

Is anyone there? *?((???))?* If you are, say something, friends?
