"Your Highness, you're back! How are you feeling? Did you get your medicine?"
After taking the medicine, Xi Yun didn't care about her face at all. Her mind was full of questions about why Young Master Liu was still alive. Time was of the essence, so she didn't ask him anything.
When Xing'er asked, Xi Yun realized that the burning pain on her face was gone. She touched it and found that the blister that had been oozing pus had deflated.
"Xing'er, you seem to be feeling a little better. Let me take off my veil, what do you think?"
Xi Yun gently removed the veil, and Xing'er glanced at it, indicating that it was too dark to see clearly.
"Oh, Consort Zhaoyi, it's so late, you can't sleep either, so you're out for a walk? Your humble servant greets Consort Zhaoyi!"
Xi Yun's rank is indeed one level higher than Qiao Siyu's, but so far Qiao Siyu has basically never paid her respects. After all, in this harem, favor is the most important thing.
Although Qiao Siyu is not arrogant because of the favor she enjoys, Xi Yun has climbed step by step from a beauty to her current position as a Zhaoyi by betraying her master.
The sudden bowing startled Xi Yun, and coupled with what had just happened, she was somewhat dazed. It wasn't until Xing'er nudged her elbow that she came to her senses.
"No need for formalities, Consort Shuyi, please get up quickly." Xiyun thought that she and Qiao Siyu were from the same palace, so she kindly reached out to help her up.
Unexpectedly, Qiao Siyu, that clever little devil, saw that she was wearing a veil and took the opportunity to tear off the veil when Xi Yun helped her up.
"Ah!" Xi Yun immediately screamed.
"Your Majesty, are you alright? Your Majesty!" Xing'er quickly snatched Xi Yun's veil and glared fiercely at Qiao Siyu.
"ah!"
"ah!"
The sight of Xi Yun's face terrified the two palace maids next to Qiao Siyu, who screamed loudly.
"Oh dear, little sister, I didn't mean it. I just saw you wearing a black veil in the middle of the night and I was afraid you'd be arrested and questioned by the Censorate! After all, they're very strict these days!"
"You're talking nonsense, it's clearly..."
"Xing'er, shut up. Your sister has already seen it, so step back!" This time, Xi Yun didn't mince words and put on airs of a Zhaoyi Consort.
Qiao Siyu left quickly, feeling smug.
She said to the palace maid beside her, "Do you see that? Her face is terrifying. She was already out of favor, and now she'll probably have even less of a chance to move around!"
