When the midwife realized she had been exposed, she turned pale with fright and knelt down to beg for mercy while kowtowing repeatedly.
In just a short while.
His forehead was bleeding from the impact.
"If you can reveal who is behind this, I might spare your life," Consort Shu said sternly.
"Your Highness, please spare me! No one ordered me to do this. I haven't slept for three days and three nights, and my eyes are just playing tricks on me," the midwife stubbornly insisted.
Consort Shu remained silent, but gave Bin'er a wink.
Bin'er took two steps toward her, looking down at her: "Are you seeing things? Who are you trying to fool? If you're just seeing things, then where did that monster come from...? Who ordered you? Do you have any inside connections?...Speak!"
The midwife shuddered in fright: "No one instructed me! I must have been seeing things. That monster must have slipped in on its own during the chaos. Your Highness, please understand!"
Bin'er moved her lips, but before she could speak, she did.
A eunuch's voice came from outside the door announcing, "Consort Zhuang has arrived!"
"May Your Highness the Consort be blessed with good fortune and peace. We pay our respects to Your Highness the Consort."
As soon as Consort Zhuang entered the room, she gave Consort Shu a grand salute.
"Consort Zhuang, there's no need for such a grand ceremony between us sisters," Consort Shu said calmly.
"Sister, I know you've always blamed me, but..." Consort Zhuang wiped away tears from her eyes, feeling wronged. "Back then, I had no choice. You were confined to this Qiluan Garden, and I knelt in front of the Hall of Fragrance for a whole day and night, just trying to get you out. Nobody expected..."
Mu Qianqian perked up her ears.
Makeup Concubine.
She remembered this woman.
She remembered it in the book.
Consort Zhuang was Consort Shu's childhood best friend.
After Consort Shu became pregnant, she came to the palace to visit her and stayed at Qiluan Garden for a while.
Seeing Emperor Yuanwu's great favor towards Consort Shu, she always wanted to replace her.
After Consort Shu's incident.
She used the pretense of rescuing Consort Shu to seduce Emperor Yuanwu.
Consort Zhuang, dressed in a thin, plain dress, knelt before the gate of Emperor Yuanwu's bedchamber, taking advantage of the absence of Wu Jixiang, the emperor's chief eunuch.
He also bribed the eunuch guarding the Hall of Fragrance Pavilion who served Emperor Yuanwu with a large sum of money.
Aphrodisiacs were added to the spices in Emperor Yuanwu's bedroom.
Emperor Yuanwu was drunk every day because of Consort Shu's affair.
Although Consort Zhuang did not come from a high social class, she was still the daughter of the Prefect of Shuntian Prefecture, a third-rank official.
The combination of alcohol and aphrodisiac fragrance.
Emperor Yuanwu favored her and made her a concubine, granting her residence in the Yixiang Pavilion.
After she received her official rank, instead of pleading for Consort Shu, she took advantage of Consort Shu's misfortune in front of Emperor Yuanwu, which deepened the misunderstanding between Consort Shu and Emperor Yuanwu.
Oh my god!
【green tea】
This is top-quality green tea.
[This tea-infused verse is truly reminiscent of a Yuan Dynasty version of Lin Daiyu!]
[Zhuang Pin, Emperor Yuanwu really knew how to bestow names; she was truly adept at "acting."]
With acting skills like hers, a certain film company deserves an Oscar...
Mu Qianqian couldn't help but sneeze. "Achoo!"
No, no!
She's naturally allergic to this kind of manipulative, scheming woman.
Why did I suddenly sneeze?
Is it cold?
Consort Shu tenderly wrapped Mu Qianqian in another blanket, afraid that she would catch a cold.
What kind of tea did my daughter just mention?
green tea?
The daughter started saying things she couldn't understand again.
Could it be that she's to pour tea for Consort Zhuang?
"Younger sister, get up quickly." Consort Shu gestured to the servants, "Quickly brew a pot of the finest green tea for Consort Zhuang."
Mu Qianqian: ? ? ?
[Hahaha.]
[Mommy, you're so cute! Perfect green tea!]
Yes, yes, it's absolutely top-quality green tea!
[My mother understands hermaphrodites!]
Consort Shu: ...
