Concubine Liang's cold treatment formed a sharp contrast with the laughter and joy in Chenxiao Palace.
There are no secrets in the harem. With Bei Yutang's deliberate connivance and Nan Shaotian's tacit approval, the matter spread throughout the harem immediately.
Nan Shaotian's acquiescence was not to attack Xia Yuwei, but to protect her. Because she was not favored, she would not be envied.
Concubine Liang is one of the four concubines, and the only one who can make her angry is Bei Yutang.
Nan Shaotian did this to tell Bei Yutang that he didn't care about that woman. As long as Bei Yutang didn't hold on to Concubine Liang, Concubine Liang would naturally be able to live a stable life.
Bei Yutang allowed them to spread the news, knowing Nan Shaotian's intentions and anticipating that he would agree to her actions. She certainly had a purpose in doing this.
She just wanted to make the sick Xia Yuwei jealous and make her feel envious and resentful.
Sick people are always the most vulnerable.
When I am most vulnerable, I always think of my loved ones taking care of me.
How would it feel when this care is no longer with you but with another woman?
Haha, you know it without thinking.
Bei Yutang and Nan Shaotian chatted for half the night. Because Concubine Liang was ill, Nan Shaotian had no desire, which made Bei Yutang feel relieved.
Of course, this was also a step that Bei Yutang had anticipated. If he was still interested, she had also prepared a backup plan.
Fortunately, everything went according to Bei Yutang's plan.
In the middle of the night, Nan Shaotian secretly left to visit Concubine Liang. Bei Yutang naturally knew about his departure, but she pretended to know nothing.
The next day, news of the Imperial Concubine's illness spread through the palace. For a moment, everyone stopped paying attention to Concubine Liang's illness and fainted, and instead focused their attention on the Imperial Concubine.
In order to keep Nan Shaotian, Bei Yutang didn't want to sacrifice her dignity and could only endure some physical pain, but for the final victory, Bei Yutang was willing to give it her all.
She was exposed to the cold wind all night in order to get sick, and finally she got sick as she wished.
As the Southern Emperor's favorite concubine was ill, there was no reason for the Southern Emperor not to stay by her side. Bei Yutang didn't want what happened yesterday to happen again, so he secretly went to see Xia Yuwei in the middle of the night.
Bei Yutang leaned weakly against the headboard and waved, "Go to the Palace of Heavenly Purity and tell them I've prepared some delicious meals for Your Majesty to enjoy."
"Yes." Jinchai took the order and left. People in Chenxiao Palace were very familiar with doing this kind of thing.
In the past, the original owner had often invited the Southern Emperor to dine with her, and unless there was something important, the Southern Emperor would generally not refuse her request. Now that she was ill, Nan Shaotian would certainly not refuse her.
Bei Yutang ordered a few more dishes and told his men to prepare them. Meanwhile, looking at the vase in the bedroom, he ordered, "Jinzhuo, replace the flowers in the bedroom with cloves, mint, or something similar."
"Yes." The palace maids had no doubts.
Under her command, everything is under her control.
As evening approached, Bei Yutang, unable to move, asked the palace maids to help her dress and put on makeup. This time, Bei Yutang put on makeup again, but instead of looking bright and charming, it made her look even more haggard. Paired with a plain crescent-colored tube dress and a white blouse, she instantly gave off a morbid charm.
Jin Zhuo couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, "Your Majesty, even when you are sick, you are still so breathtakingly beautiful."
