But how could Consort De be someone she could bully?
"You're the one who's brainless. You think His Majesty will pity you just because he sheds a couple of tears? Don't you even know who you are?" Consort De retorted sarcastically on the spot.
"Consort De, you vile woman!" Consort Xian could no longer sit still and was about to rush over and attack.
But Consort De was no pushover; she slapped her across the face. She was in an extremely bad mood today, for reasons she couldn't even explain.
Consort Xian was still somewhat incredulous after being slapped.
"You dare hit me?" The Empress's anger was written all over her face.
"You've already hit me, why are you still asking? Have you lost your mind? Besides, weren't you the one who started it?" Consort De shook her hand; she had used too much force and it hurt too much.
"You wretch, I'll beat you to death!" Consort Xian completely disregarded her image and pounced on her. Two concubines, both high-ranking, were now fighting right there in the Imperial Garden.
Before long, Consort Yan learned of this matter and summoned both of them to Yunpeng Palace. Yu Jingchen naturally learned of it as well.
Nan Zhiyun, who was beside him, was momentarily surprised when she heard the news. Why were they fighting in the Imperial Garden?
"Your Majesty... the Imperial Concubine wishes to ask Your Majesty how to handle this matter," Xinglai said.
"She's in charge of the harem, how should she handle things? Does she need me to solve it for her? Let her handle it herself," Yu Jingchen said.
"Yes," Xinglai immediately understood.
Everyone knows the relationship between Consort Yan and Consort De. How could she not know that this is her own business? She deliberately came to ask Yu Jingchen for instructions to see His Majesty's attitude towards Consort Xian. If he really doesn't care so much... then Consort Xian will definitely suffer today, since Consort Yan is biased towards Consort De.
"Does His Majesty dislike Consort Xian?" Nan Zhiyun asked Yu Jingchen.
"Not obvious? Or do you want me to treat her specially?" Yu Jingchen raised an eyebrow.
"No..." Nan Zhiyun denied it outright.
Yu Jingchen said somewhat helplessly, "Didn't I tell you? Don't you know what kind of person I like?" Yu Jingchen said, and then kissed Nan Zhiyun on the forehead. Nan Zhiyun felt a little embarrassed when she heard this.
"How will the Imperial Concubine handle this?" Nan Zhiyun asked. Yu Jingchen knew that she was just embarrassed and trying to change the subject.
"Want to go see the excitement? Bored?" Yu Jingchen asked her.
"No, I was just curious..." Nan Zhiyun denied everything.
"If you're really curious, you'll find out soon enough. In your current state, it's definitely impossible for you to go see it in person," Yu Jingchen said, adding a dose of reality.
Nan Zhiyun: "..."
Yunpeng Palace
The imperial concubine propped her head up with one hand, and looking at the two people kneeling below, she felt a headache coming on.
"Do you two still remember your identities?" Consort Yan asked.
"He started it himself, what does it have to do with me?" Consort De retorted.
"Consort De, it's obvious you deliberately came to ambush me, wanting to see me make a fool of myself. Now it's all my fault?" Consort Xian refused to back down either.
The two of them were never so disheveled when they knelt on the ground; their hair was disheveled, their faces were dirty, and they even had scratches.
Consort Yan felt dizzy listening to the two people arguing again below. What kind of nonsense was this?
"Enough!" Consort Yan slammed her hand on the table a few times, clearly furious.
