With a slam of her hand on the table, Consort Wan gritted her teeth and said, "I am of Mongolian origin, from the Khorchin. The Khorchin cavalry are valiant, and even the Emperor treats Mongolia with great respect. Why should I fear the Imperial Noble Consort?"
"Your Majesty..."
The palace maid hesitated, then sighed softly.
A few days later
Wanfei's words reached Xu Lejin's ears.
Xu Lejin sat up abruptly, frowning, and said, "Consort Wan is not young anymore, so why is she still so fearless?"
"It is true that the Emperor treats the Mongols with great respect, and it is also true that the Khorchin cavalry is brave, but can these words be spoken in the palace?"
"Consort Wan is becoming increasingly audacious these days."
Ruhua and Nongying exchanged a glance and then lowered their heads in deep thought.
At this time
Liu Ying hurried in from outside the palace, her face solemn. She whispered, "Your Majesty, news just came from Yongshou Palace that Consort Bu has passed away."

"Very well, I will go to His Majesty's side myself."
Liu Ying respectfully acknowledged and withdrew.
Nongying lowered her voice and whispered, "Your Majesty, Consort Bu, relying on the fact that the Sixth Princess will be married off to the Kharachin tribe, has become arrogant and domineering. The Emperor has long harbored resentment towards her."
"Now that Consort Bu has passed away, Your Majesty, why do you need to get involved in this mess?"
Xu Lejin smiled.
"The Sixth Princess will marry into the Kharachin tribe in the future, and she will be the queen of the Kharachin tribe. Even if we don't care about the monk, we should care about the Buddha. After Consort Bu passed away, the Emperor will probably posthumously confer upon her the title of Consort. My actions are just taking advantage of the situation to do the Sixth Princess a favor."
"It's just a small favor, something I can do with a word. Why wouldn't I do it?"
Nongying pondered for a moment and then respectfully replied, "Yes, Your Majesty is wise."
