"Consort Ning, you may dispense with the formalities."
Because Consort Ning visited at night, Chen Yuwei did not go to bed as usual.
Wearing her favorite qipao, Chen Yuwei sat on the couch, her gaze fixed on Consort Ning as she entered.
"Your Highness, the Imperial Noble Consort, has come to visit so late at night that I have no choice but to comply."
She didn't want to run out so late at night, but Consort Ling's plan was too crazy, and Consort Ning was too scared to sleep.
Chen Yuwei smiled and gestured to Consort Ning not to rush, to sit down and talk slowly.
"Don't be afraid, there's still plenty of time. I won't let Yongshou Palace do whatever it wants."
Consort Ning sat on a round stool, organizing her thoughts. "Your Majesty, Consort Ling is planning to take action, and the time has been set."
"when?"
August 13th
"Choosing to celebrate the Emperor's birthday shows Consort Ling's intentions," it seems the intention to make a big scene can no longer be concealed.
Chen Yuwei tapped the table, thinking to herself that the emperor wasn't celebrating his birthday this year, otherwise Consort Ling might not have been able to withstand it.
"Your Highness, aren't you worried? You're in charge of this imperial banquet," but Consort Ling had already bribed many palace servants.
If Yan Chen had exposed the matter then, Chen Yuwei would have had no chance of escaping under the watchful eyes of everyone.
"This was within my expectations, Consort Ning. I still want to thank you for coming to deliver the message."
Consort Ning was somewhat stunned by the Imperial Noble Consort's sudden expression of gratitude.
However, Consort Ning quickly realized what was happening and tacitly changed the subject.
Since the Imperial Noble Consort didn't want to explain her counterattack methods, she didn't need to ask anymore. It was not a time to do something annoying.
After exchanging a few more words, Consort Ning got up to take her leave, and Chen Yuwei asked Xingkui to see her off on her behalf.
"Please take care, Consort Ning."
"Miss Xingkui, please go back and tell Her Majesty that I will follow Her Majesty's lead in everything."
"Your Highness is too kind. Our Ladyship naturally believes in Your Highness's sincerity."
Consort Ning nodded, turned around, and left with her arm around the maid waiting at the door.
Behind her, the palace receded into the distance. The maid turned her head and glanced at the lanterns hanging high above.
"Your Majesty, you are extremely respectful to the Imperial Noble Consort, so why do you still need to express your feelings?"
Unlike maids, such a scene makes their mistress appear very humble.
Consort Ning smiled bitterly, "It's just for survival. We can't afford to offend either side, so we can only try to survive in the cracks."
Whether it's Consort Ling or Imperial Noble Consort, one side is bound to get hurt in this fierce battle.
She's just a pawn caught up in this game by both sides. What use is a pawn? Let's make sure she doesn't become a useless piece first.
