Chapter 864
Consort Jing's face turned ashen. She didn't care about anything else and walked towards Huo Yue.
She refused to believe that Huo Yue truly had no feelings for her and treated her the same way he treated Shi Xiao, showing her absolutely no respect!
But before Consort Jing could get close, Huo Yue coldly said, "Consort Jing has worked very hard to get to where she is now. She has a long life ahead of her. Does she want to ruin her whole life today?"
Consort Jing froze on the spot.
At this moment, Consort Jing was only a few steps away from Huo Yue.
However, this short distance is like an insurmountable chasm.
Consort Jing took a deep breath and slowly exhaled: "I suppose in Consort Zhong's heart, you are probably not the most important one, otherwise, Consort Zhong would not have asked you to come and get me alone."
"I know."
In Zhong Jie's heart, Huo Zhao is the most important person.
However, Huo Yue had no objection to this.
Huo Zhaoke is his biological daughter, and the one he lost more than ten years ago before finally finding her again.
In his heart, besides Zhong Jie, there was also Huo Zhao.
Seeing that Consort Jing had no intention of coming forward, Huo Yue turned and left, leaving her with a cold and resolute back view.
As the curtain fell again, the light in Consort Jing's eyes dimmed.
She lowered her eyes, looking at Shi Xiao, who was still kneeling on the ground, unable to straighten up, and her voice suddenly turned cold: "Have you taken care of the Marquis's affairs?"
"......yes."
That single word seemed to have exhausted all of Shi Xiao's strength, and her face, which had just begun to recover, instantly turned pale again.
Consort Jing looked at him and frowned: "Go out and find a doctor to take a look. Someone come here."
As soon as she finished speaking, another eunuch quickly walked in from outside, half-helping and half-dragging her away with a smile.
Only Consort Jing remained in the tent.
Consort Jing slowly sat down, a glint of light flashing in her eyes.
Fortunately, things have been arranged at the Marquis's residence.
Her purpose today wasn't actually to do anything to Huo Zhao.
Let's wait and see.
——
Outside.
Le'an carried Huo Zhao back to the tent in the Yunnan Prince's Mansion, whereupon Zhong Jie took Huo Zhao away.
Realizing that Huo Zhao's breathing had stabilized, Zhong Jie breathed a sigh of relief and hugged him tightly, her face still filled with lingering fear.
Jixiang wiped away her tears and said, "The young mistress was already awake, but that Shi Xiao gave her some medicine! I don't know what it was, Your Highness, please find a doctor quickly!"
Upon hearing the name "Shi Xiao," Qi Jing's face paled.
Zhong Jie's expression changed, but before she could utter any instructions, Huo Shu had already strode out.
A short while later, Huo Yue and the doctor returned together, but Huo Shu was nowhere to be found.
At that time, Huo Zhao had already been placed on the bed and was lying quietly.
Just as the doctor was busy examining Zhaozhao, Huo Shu returned: "I asked around, and they said it was just a sleeping potion, to prevent Zhaozhao from waking up and ruining things. I estimate Zhaozhao will wake up in another hour."
At this moment, the doctor also made a diagnosis: "That person probably wasn't lying. Now that Madam Shen's breathing is stable, we can observe her for an hour."
With the doctor's words of reassurance, everyone felt relieved.
Since she was already waiting anyway, Zhong Jie turned to look at Qi Jing sitting in the corner, her eyes filled with a hint of murderous intent: "You're Qi Jing?"
Speaking of which, Zhong Jie still remembers Qi Jing.
