The news of Consort Min's punishment quickly spread throughout the palace, surprising everyone. After all, His Majesty had just punished Nan Zhiyun for Consort Min's sake that day, yet he punished Consort Min that very evening. What was going on?
In fact, Consort Min has been quite favored recently. Most people in the harem know why His Majesty favors Consort Min. It's because Consort Min has always been at odds with Nan Zhiyun, so His Majesty is slapping Nan Zhiyun in the face.
However, on the other hand, this Consort Min was also foolish and stupid. Anyone with eyes in the harem could see that her favor was only because His Majesty wanted to humiliate Nan Zhiyun, but she still eagerly tried to curry favor with him, thinking herself incredibly important and arrogant.
Consort Min offended many concubines during her time in the Emperor's favor. Now that she has fallen from grace, she has been forced to kneel in the Imperial Garden. Even though it is already night, many people still go to ridicule her.
In this palace, His Majesty is the weathervane of the harem; which way the wind blows depends entirely on how much favor His Majesty bestows upon someone.
No matter how favored Consort Min was in the past, this will likely remain the case in the future. Today, she has angered His Majesty and has already earned his dislike.
Moreover, so many people come and go in the Imperial Garden, including not only the concubines of the harem but also some palace servants. Consort Min has always been concerned about her reputation, but this time she has completely lost face. In short, her future days will not be easy.
"Sister, why did you insist on going to His Majesty's court to pick a fight? Look at what you've done now, not only have you gained nothing, but you've also gotten yourself into a mess. I heard that Consort Nan is quite ill this time. If you wait until she recovers, you'll probably have to kneel for days. You know His Majesty's methods. If Consort Nan really doesn't wake up, you really shouldn't think about getting up these next few days." The one speaking now was Consort Chen.
Min Jieyu didn't dare to argue with her now, but her expressions still betrayed her current mood.
"Why are you glaring at me, sister? These are all His Majesty's orders." Consort Chen and Consort Min were the same kind of people, both competitive and ambitious. Before Consort Min gained favor, Consort Chen was the most favored.
Oh, right, this Consort Chen is the same Consort Yun from the previous life...
Yu Jingchen is unaware of the little incident in the Imperial Garden, as he is still staying at Ya Jing Residence.
Although Nan Zhiyun had just drunk the medicine, it didn't have much effect. She didn't know if it was because the dosage was too high or what, and she even vomited it up afterwards.
Yu Jingchen had been standing guard by the side the whole time, and now his face was so dark it looked like ink could drip from it.
Nan Zhiyun, whose face was originally pale, turned red because her fever wouldn't go down, and her whole body was frighteningly hot.
The imperial physician said that it wasn't just because of this injury, but also because of what she had experienced in the Shenxing Division before. Moreover, the environment there was not good. Nan Zhiyun was under a lot of tension and fear, her mind was tense, and she was depressed, which caused her high fever.
In this life, Yu Jingchen didn't investigate what Nan Zhiyun had experienced in the Censorate. He already knew in his previous life, since the Censorate wouldn't dare to act rashly without his tacit approval. Ultimately, it seemed that he was largely to blame… For some reason, Yu Jingchen felt uneasy.
