Xueying lowered her head shyly, her voice soft. "Your Highness..."
But Hongli coldly asked her, "Ulanara Xueying, are you pretending to be kind in front of me? Let me tell you, I don't fall for that!"
Xueying felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar; she couldn't believe that Hongli would say such a thing.
Before Xueying could reply, Hongli flung her arm away, turned and left, saying before he went out, "You remember this: I forbid you from having any designs on Mingyu, and I absolutely forbid you from harming Mingyu, or I will never let you off the hook."
After saying that, Hongli left without looking back.
Xueying stood there, stunned. Several maids entered the room and saw Xueying standing there motionless. Zuying went over and asked, "Madam, what's wrong? Where is the Prince?"
Xueying remained silent, and Zuying grew anxious. "Madam, what's wrong with you?"
Rachel said, "My lady, did the Prince say something?"
Upon hearing Rachel's words, Xueying couldn't stop her tears from flowing.
A'Luo and Zu Ying quickly tried to comfort her, but Xue Ying wouldn't listen to a word. All she could think about were Hong Li's hurtful words.
She fell weakly, but fortunately Zuying caught her quickly. A'luo hurriedly comforted her, "Princess, don't be sad. The Prince may have just misunderstood. I'll go and explain to the Prince that we didn't attack your maid first."
Zu Ying also said, "Yes, I will also go and explain to the Prince that it was the kitchen staff who deliberately made your meal more palatable."
Xueying remained silent, which made Zuying and Alu anxious.
Rachel guessed that the Prince must have hurt Xueying's feelings, otherwise Xueying wouldn't be like this. She stopped Zuying and A'luo, who were about to go find Hongli, and said, "It's no use for you to go. You should rest well, Consort."
A Luo knew that Rachel understood things better than they did, so she could only say, "Okay, I'll listen to you. Zu Ying, let's go get some water for the concubine. She needs to wash her face after she finishes crying."
Zuying didn't want to go, but Alu pulled her away anyway. Before leaving, Alu exchanged a glance with Rachel.
Meanwhile, Mingyu in the main courtyard had already received a report from her informant.
"Madam, the servants just came to say that the Prince has gone to the concubine's place."
"What did you say? This slut dared to seduce Prince Prince!"
Mingyu was furious and threw the teacup she was holding onto the ground.
A short while later, her informant reported that the Prince had only stayed for a short while before leaving the East Courtyard. Only then did Mingyu calm down.
“I knew Prince Bei wouldn’t let me down. He hates Ulanara so much, how could he possibly favor her?” Mingyue said.
Zi Xun, standing to the side, said, "Yes, everyone in the entire mansion knows that the Prince loves you the most and doesn't care about any other women."
"No matter what I say, Xueying is still a thorn in my side. I have to think of a way to get the Prince to divorce her."
Rachel gently helped Xueying onto the bed, but Xueying remained silent, lying on the bed and crying silently.
Rachel said, "Madam, are you just going to let the Prince ignore us like this?"
Xueying raised her face and said, "What can I do? He has always been prejudiced against me. I have been looking forward to his coming. He finally came today, but he came to scold me."
Rachel said, "Princess Consort, you must find a way to get the Prince's favor. Otherwise, as you saw today, without his favor, you, as a concubine, are not even as good as a maid in the eyes of the servants."
