After hearing Rong Chongyuan's words, Nan Zhiyun turned to look at her. To be honest, she looked rather frightening; her face was so pale, almost pink, that she looked lifeless.
"Consort Rong, you've changed quite a bit in just two days. Luckily it's daytime; if I had met you at night, I'd be terrified. You look no different from a ghost. What are you trying to scare by running around like this? I advise you, it's fine during the day, but at night you should stay inside. Otherwise, you'll be seen as unclean, which is bad luck!"
"You!" Consort Rong was shocked that Nan Zhiyun would speak so bluntly to her. In the past, Nan Zhiyun had always been a rather low-key person in the harem, because she always believed that His Majesty would prefer gentle and well-mannered women, so she always restrained her words and actions.
However, many people know that before Nan Zhiyun got married, she was one of the most arrogant people in the entire Yuan Dynasty. She had a sharp tongue, and almost no one dared to provoke her, firstly because of her status, and secondly because of her unreasonable manner.
Nan Zhiyun had been restraining her personality since entering the palace, but recently Yu Jingchen had been indulging her, so she stopped suppressing herself.
Anyway, she's already caused trouble... Her Majesty herself said she could do whatever she wanted, and that she could act lawlessly in the palace, so how could she possibly allow these people to tell her what to do now?
"Your Highness, please don't be angry. Consort Rong is just being straightforward and has no ill intentions. She's only worried about Your Highness, so she came here despite her illness." Bai Yusheng, the living bodhisattva, stepped in to smooth things over again.
"If you're sick, you shouldn't come out. You look terrifying. What's even more frightening is what if she tells me about her illness?" Nan Zhiyun's mouth was quite sharp and unforgiving.
"Besides, I'm perfectly fine, at least better than her. If she falls in front of me and then falsely accuses me, I'm afraid I won't be able to defend myself." Nan Zhiyun was speechless. She actually cared about her? More like she was worried about whether she was dead or not…
His Majesty is really something. Punishing her is one thing, but making so many people know about it is another. Being spanked and slapped by His Majesty is already humiliating enough, but now so many people know! And she's still called Consort Shu… Is Consort Shu being treated like a child? It's so undignified, so shameful.
Nan Zhiyun felt uneasy whenever she thought about how these annoying people in front of her knew that she had been punished by His Majesty in that way.
"Your Highness, please don't mind. Consort Rong certainly didn't mean it. However, since you are injured, you shouldn't stand for too long. Why don't you sit down for a while..." This time, it was Su Qianyan who spoke.
Just as she finished speaking, she seemed to realize she had said something wrong, so she quickly said, "I'm sorry, I misspoke. I forgot that Consort Shu was injured in the back. Would it be alright if someone brought a soft cushion?" As soon as Su Qianyan said this, everyone around her laughed.
Nan Zhiyun frowned. See, everyone's laughing at her... But she hadn't really come to that, had she? Although His Majesty had hit her a lot yesterday, it wasn't to the point where she needed to sit on a cushion, was it?
"Su Baolin's face is all better? Why is she still wearing a veil?" Nan Zhiyun said bluntly. They were the ones who started this trouble, so she didn't need to give them any face.
