Guo Luoluo's plan was perfect, but before she could even enter the palace the next day, news came from the palace again.

The news was naturally about Consort Liang.

The imperial physician who treated Consort Liang suddenly changed his tune, saying that Consort Liang had fully recovered.

Of course, no one would believe it once it was said, since Consort Liang was hiding in the back hall of Chuxiu Palace and coughing all day long, and any palace servant who passed by would hear it.

But then Consort Liang went out for a walk in her qipao, and neither her overall demeanor nor her complexion showed any signs of illness.

This...this does seem to be a sign that my health is improving.

"What do you mean by improved health? Humph! You're clearly not sick; you're just pretending to be sick to annoy me."

In the main hall of Chuxiu Palace, Consort Hui was throwing things around and cursing.

The news of Consort Liang had already spread outside the palace; in other words, it had already spread within the palace long ago.

Consort Hui was initially somewhat guilty as the culprit who caused Consort Liang's serious illness.

Because Yinzhi almost lost his job, she was scolded to death by her eldest son, Yinti, because Yinti couldn't leave the palace. Even the Yehenara clan outside the palace sent a letter to reprimand her.

As a result, the seriously ill Consort Liang suddenly appeared out of the back hall, full of energy and vitality... Tsk, isn't this a blatant slap in the face, making her lose face?

Consort Hui was so enraged by Consort Liang's outrageous actions that she turned into a pufferfish.

In Consort Hui's eyes, Consort Liang has now become synonymous with scheming and restless.

Whenever Consort Hui recalled the various things that had happened to her in the past, she would blame them on Noble Lady Liang.

It's all Liang Guiren's fault. It's all Liang Guiren's fault. I'm going to be unlucky because of Liang Guiren's scheming.

Sure enough, this mother and son were no good; they were a pair of ingrates.

Cursing under her breath, Consort Hui didn't stop. She waved her hand, signaling her attendant, Chengyi, to bring Consort Liang over.

"Isn't she better now? Perfect, I didn't sleep well last night and have a terrible headache, so let her come and take care of me."

As the principal concubine of the palace, Consort Hui had the power to bully the other concubines in the Chuxiu Palace.

Consort Liang has made Consort Hui unhappy, so Consort Hui will make things difficult for her in return.

Orange: ...Here it comes again.

She knew that her master's habit of causing trouble would never change.

How did Consort Liang fall ill? And how did the First Prince dislike and complain about you, Master? You have no memory at all.

Sighing inwardly, Cheng Yi readily agreed.

In Chengyi's opinion, she couldn't persuade her master about this kind of thing.

So let the master do whatever he wants. The Yehenara clan is large and powerful enough for the master to do as he pleases.

Turning around, Cheng Yi headed straight for the rear palace where Consort Liang was.

Hearing the suppressed coughing coming from the room, Cheng Yi was still a little confused, but she did a good job of adhering to the survival rules that servants should follow: don't ask what you shouldn't ask, and absolutely don't have any curiosity that you shouldn't have.

Consort Hui's words were relayed to the maidservant who served Consort Liang.

Chengyi offered a tactful reminder: "Our Lady didn't rest well last night and might be a little short-tempered. Please convey this to Consort Liang and ask her not to take offense."

"Oh, what are you saying? Thank you for reminding me, Sister Chengyi. I'll forget about it now."

Liang Guiren's maid was no fool; she could easily discern the underlying meaning of Cheng Yi's words.

He thought bitterly that his master was probably going to suffer a great loss this time.

But the maid couldn't tell the truth. Her palms were sweating, and she forced a smile as she saw Chengyi off.

"Hurry up, our Ladyship can't wait any longer," Cheng Yi thought to herself, feeling sorry for Consort Liang, but this sentiment was of no use.

Cheng Yi is Consort Hui's person, so it's impossible for her to help Consort Liang.

Saying something out of pure goodwill is the best that Orange can do.

Just like when they arrived, Orange departed in a hurry.

The maid watched the proud man from the front courtyard hall walk away, a hint of envy flashing in her eyes.

Yes, the master has absolute authority in the palace, and I am his capable assistant. I live a wonderful life, and who wouldn't envy me?

Unfortunately, the maid sighed, thinking to herself that she was not so lucky. She was assigned to the side of the unfavored emperor and could only suffer injustice.

Turning her head, she carefully pushed open the door and entered the room. Before going into the inner room, the maid took the wooden box that was placed on the tatami mat.

"Your Highness, Chengyi, Consort Hui's attendant, has brought a message that Consort Hui requests your presence in the main hall of the front courtyard."

The maid did not hide the purpose of Chengyi's visit, including Chengyi's mention of Consort Hui's headaches and short temper.

Lady Liang: ...

"You absolutely have to go?"

Taking a deep breath, Noble Lady Liang's hand, which was supporting her on the bed, trembled slightly.

He couldn't help but tremble. Despite Liang Guiren's calm demeanor, his inner turmoil was immense.

Because she was bullied by Consort Hui every day, Consort Liang couldn't stand up for herself even if she wanted to, because her body had developed a muscle reaction and she subconsciously felt fear when facing Consort Hui.

That's right, it's fear!

Consort Liang was terrified of everything related to Consort Hui, who was even more ruthless than Emperor Kangxi, and became a persistent nightmare in Consort Liang's mind.

“My lady, we can’t not go,” the maid said, looking at her mistress with a troubled expression. She thought to herself that this was all because her mistress was acting crazy and playing with her own health.

Even though there's still some time before she recovers, she insists on dressing up and going out for a walk, giving others the illusion that she's already recovered.

The key question is, can this illness really be faked? It's easy to imagine that Consort Hui would be unhappy about it.

Because Guo Luoshi and Li Mama came secretly yesterday, and the maid happened to be away at the time, they didn't mention Consort Liang when they returned.
