The palace maid who had just lunged at her was the one who served Consort Rong.

"Consort Rong speaks so lightly. If Consort Shu were truly harmed, would you say the same thing when His Majesty blames you?" The palace maid beside Nan Zhiyun was furious. If Consort Shu were really harmed, they would not be able to withstand His Majesty's wrath.

"You're just a palace maid. How dare you interrupt your mistress when she's speaking?!" Consort Rong's tone was unfriendly.

“She was arranged by His Majesty. If Consort Rong thinks there is a problem with what she said, she can deal with it herself.” Nan Zhiyun was also angered.

Rong Chongyuan's expression turned sour upon hearing Nan Zhiyun's words. She looked sullen. Naturally, she couldn't touch the people around His Majesty, and now she couldn't even touch a palace maid. How could Rong Chongyuan not be angry?

"Rong Chongyuan just said it herself, it's because you didn't discipline her properly, so go back and properly manage the people around you, and also restrain yourself. You'll kneel here for an hour today." Nan Zhiyun started to throw a tantrum.

Rong Chongyuan did not expect that Nan Zhiyun would actually order her to be punished, but since the other party's status was indeed high enough, she dared not say anything and could only look at Yuanfei, who was uninvolved.

“Consort Rong is still ill. If she kneels here for an hour, it will probably worsen her condition. Your Highness, Consort Shu is merciful. Why not forgive her this time? I'm sure she will realize her mistake after this lesson.” Consort Yuan acted as a peacemaker.

"Whatever. If you're not satisfied, then let His Majesty come back and deal with it. I'm too lazy to care. If you're so capable, go and plead with His Majesty later." Nan Zhiyun became angrier as she spoke. She had just fallen to the ground and was in excruciating pain. She was already injured, and today she felt like her body was about to fall apart.

She landed on the same spot when she fell...it hurts so much! If she stayed there for even a second longer, she'd probably be exposed.

Nan Zhiyun left after saying that, thinking, "What a bunch of annoying people." However, because she had fallen, she said she felt pain and was a little unsteady on her feet.

In other people's eyes... it must be because she was flogged by His Majesty yesterday. This confirms that Nan Zhiyun was indeed flogged by His Majesty.

"Your Highness, would you like to sit down and rest for a while? Should I go and call the imperial physician? Is there anything wrong with you?" The palace maid kept asking, because if she was really injured, they really couldn't afford to pay for it!

"It hurts so much..." Nan Zhiyun stopped pretending now that there were no other outsiders around. That fall really did kill her.

"Then this servant will go and call the imperial physician." The palace maid was startled when she heard Nan Zhiyun say that she was in pain. This was a precious person, and she couldn't afford to hurt herself anywhere.

"No need, no need," Nan Zhiyun quickly refused. If the imperial physician really saw it, how embarrassing would it be? The marks there definitely hadn't faded yet, all because of His Majesty!

"Then Your Highness, this servant will help you back to rest." The palace maid dared not take this as a trivial matter.

"It's okay, don't worry." Nan Zhiyun thought these people were overreacting. Was she really that fragile?

“But Your Majesty…” The palace maid was still somewhat uneasy.

"I said it's nothing, it's alright. His Majesty definitely knows, and he won't blame you." Nan Zhiyun didn't want to make things so complicated. It was just a little painful. Whether it was from the fall or being beaten yesterday, it would hurt, okay?

"Yes..." Although the palace maid was somewhat worried, she ultimately didn't say anything more. If she angered Consort Shu, she would be the one to suffer in the end, so it was better to listen to Consort Shu...
