Sherry looked at her with genuine sincerity in her eyes.

Consort Tong was so angry that her chest heaved, but she didn't know what to say.

Consort Niohuru said nothing. After all, Consort Tong had been going against her ever since she entered the palace.

"Sister Niohuru, please say something! I just want to get closer to you all!"

Concubine Niu Colu:...

"You should be close to the Emperor, why are you being so close to me?"

Sherry looked puzzled. "Can't you tell the difference between the king and queen?"

The teacup in Consort Niohuru's hand suddenly fell to the ground, shattering the silence in the air.

Consort Tong's face turned pale and then flushed, and she turned her head away in anger.

Consort Niohuru coughed slightly: "Let's discuss how to improve the palace's procurement system!"

"Oh, Sister Niohuru, I don't know anything about this, so I'll have to trouble you two sisters to take care of it. I've finished dealing with this part of the palace affairs, so I'll head back to the palace now! Chengzhen and Anqi should wake up soon!"

Sydney immediately declared, "Retreat immediately!"

Consort Niohuru and Consort Tong both paused for a moment, as if by prior arrangement.

Consort Niohuru forced a smile: "Alright, thank you for your hard work, sister!"

Consort Tong paused, her face showing displeasure: "My sister knows."

Sherry left Yongshou Palace in high spirits.

In the 15th year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign (1676), Geng Jingzhong surrendered.

Geng Jingzhong's surrender during the Rebellion of the Three Feudatories marked the gradual control of the rebellion in Zhejiang, Fujian, and Shaanxi.

With Geng Jingzhong's surrender, the Qing Dynasty made significant progress in the war to quell the Rebellion of the Three Feudatories, and the internal situation became relatively stable.
