Wanqing's expression wasn't particularly good either. She didn't want this to happen either, but since it had already happened, she couldn't let it continue like this.
The best outcome for Sang Ruo now is that she will never have any contact with Nian Shihua again, and the name Nian Shihua should never appear in Jinghe Palace again.
After making up their minds, the two hesitated for a moment before knocking on Sang Ruo's door.
"Come in." Sang Ruo's voice was slightly hoarse because she had just been crying.
The two sisters exchanged a glance and then pushed open the door together and went inside.
Wan Ting frowned as she looked at Sang Ruo's red eyes: "Your Highness, let me go and put an ice pack on you. Otherwise, the Imperial Concubine will be unhappy to see you like this tomorrow."
A tear still clung to the corner of Sang Ruo's eye. Hearing Wan Ting's words, she casually wiped her eye away and nodded, "Mm."
Wan Ting responded and left, but before leaving, she gave Wan Qing a meaningful look, signaling her to persuade Sang Jiang.
Wanqing nodded slightly.
As soon as Wan Ting closed the door, she hesitated before looking at Sang Ruo and speaking: "Miss, just now our maidservant who was stationed in Jingren Palace reported that Nian Shihua was not punished by the Empress at all. He told the Empress the truth, and afterwards the Empress rewarded him with a lot of money and also gave him a..."
At this point, she suddenly found herself unable to speak, but the thought that if she cut off her escape route, she would repeat the same mistakes, so she continued, "And she also bestowed a woman upon Nian Shihua, who accepted it all..."
Upon hearing this, Sang Ruo's face turned pale instantly. She stared intently at Wan Ting with wide eyes: "Is everything you said true?"
Wan Ting has followed her for so many years and naturally knows her character. If she is too assertive or too cowardly at this moment, Sang Ruo will think that she is lying.
She looked at Sang Ruo, pursed her lips, and after a long while, she raised her eyes and spoke with a hurt expression: "Miss, you don't believe me?"
Sang Ruo looked at her for a long while, then took a deep breath and said, "Never mind, never mind."
Seeing that she seemed to be softening, Wan Ting pressed her advantage and continued, "Miss, actually, this whole thing was a scheme orchestrated by Nian Shihua and the Empress to frame you. The Imperial Noble Consort is currently very powerful, and if you and the Sang family are involved, she fears for her own position as Empress, so she specifically plotted against you..."
Sang Ruo smiled slightly and waved her hand to interrupt Wan Ting's next words.
Seeing that she really didn't want to listen anymore, Wan Ting wisely shut her mouth.
If I say anything more, I'm afraid I'll upset her.
Women from the Sang family are all like this; they look gentle and weak, but when they really get angry, no one can persuade them to stay calm.
As soon as Wan-ting finished, Wan-qing walked in with an ice pack.
She wrapped up the ice packs and went to Sang Ruo's side to help her lie down. Then she gently applied ice packs to her eyes.
Sang Jiang taught her how to make this ice pack.
At first, she doubted what use this could have on her face, but later she learned the truth.
Whether it was from crying herself to exhaustion or something else, Sang Ruo actually fell asleep while lying down.
Wanqing and Wanting exchanged a glance, then helped her cover herself with the blanket and went out together.
Once the door was closed, Wanqing couldn't help but look at Wanting and ask in a low voice, "Sister, is this really okay?"
Wan Ting stared at the tightly closed door for a long while before sighing and looking at Wan Qing...
