There is an order based on social status.
Even if Guarjia is now the Empress, or even if she was just the Crown Princess and the primary consort of the second prince, Consort Li and Consort Song would not dare to be her sisters-in-law.
Even though they always knew that the Crown Prince did not favor the Guarjia clan!
The hierarchy of rank and the distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children must be respected; without exceptional ability, no one can disobey such rules.
Guarjia was the primary consort, while they were only secondary consorts.
If they agree to Guarjia's request, they will be giving others a handle against them. Especially Guarjia, who is the Empress, it wouldn't be too easy to control them.
They were the Fourth Prince's people, and their only backer was the Fourth Prince.
Both Consort Li and Consort Song were shrewd women, and in a short time, their thoughts were already racing. However, although they understood the situation clearly, they made completely opposite choices in how to deal with the situation at hand.
"Your Majesty, please be careful with your words!"
Consort Song wasn't that cunning. Sensing something was amiss, she directly confronted the Empress.
"..."
Lady Guarjia was already furious. She, the Crown Princess and newly appointed Empress, had to go to the trouble of winning over two insignificant concubines. And to make matters worse, one of them was so ungrateful that she dared to talk back to her to her face!
"presumptuous!"
With a single shout, Granny Miao unleashed the overwhelming pressure of a Nascent Soul cultivator, engulfing Consort Song, who was speaking to Guarjia.
Consort Song had only just entered the Golden Core stage; how could she possibly withstand this?
"puff……"
Consort Song, locked in by terrifying pressure, suffered a severe mental and physical injury, vomited blood on the spot, and became completely listless.
"Your Majesty, please calm your anger!"
Seeing that Consort Song was injured, Consort Li immediately knelt on the ground and pleaded for Consort Song's life.
At this moment, Consort Li was overjoyed.
Knowing that the Guarjia clan's attempts to ingratiate themselves with them were for ulterior motives, she planned to play the long game and catch a bigger fish gradually. She would then relay the news to the small town of Zichuan after leaving the palace.
If she's lucky enough, she might be able to clear up the bad impression Rong Xi has of her. And maybe if the prince finds out, he'll even praise her for being capable.
Of course, such an approach may bring benefits, but it also puts one in a precarious position.
Consort Li was originally torn about whether to implement this plan. However, Consort Song angered the Empress, which saved Consort Li the trouble of making a choice.
Okay, very good, you're truly my best friend!
Consort Li was overjoyed, but on the surface, she still had to pretend to be worried about Consort Song.
"What a hypocrite! Who needs you to put on this act?"
Consort Song dared not provoke the Guarjia clan again, but that didn't stop her from exposing Consort Li's hypocrisy. Unfortunately, Consort Song was ultimately not tactful enough and completely failed to grasp the current situation. Her actions were purely courting death, relentlessly and decisively.
...
"That's really stupid!"
Rong Xi, who was secretly watching the live broadcast, was almost brought to tears by Consort Song's bluntness.
"How dare you! Who gave you the audacity to be so insolent in front of the Empress again and again?"
It was still Granny Miao, but this time, Granny Miao no longer simply released her imposing aura. She decisively struck, slapping Consort Song away from the Empress's palace.
"Repeated offenses are unforgivable!"
"Today, this old woman will deal with you on behalf of Prince Yong's wife!"
Granny Miao slapped Consort Song away, then came out and, amidst shouts, raised her hand and pressed it against Consort Song's dantian, intending to shatter her golden elixir.
Once a Golden Core cultivator's Golden Core shatters, all their cultivation will be lost.
Not only that, once a Golden Core cultivator's Golden Core shatters, there is no possibility of them embarking on the path of cultivation again.
After swallowing a golden pill, my fate was no longer in the hands of heaven.
For cultivators, reaching the Golden Core realm is an extremely crucial stage. Whether one ultimately achieves immortality or vanishes from the mortal world depends on this one realm.
"You dare!"
Seeing that Granny Miao was about to shatter her golden elixir, Consort Song became anxious.
She roared, and golden light appeared around her body. A pale yellow jade tablet flew out from her body; it was the very jade tablet that had been used to confer her title as a secondary consort of Prince Yong.
This jade tablet is not only a certificate of identity, but also a protective treasure.
If Granny Miao wanted to destroy Consort Song's golden elixir, she would first have to break Consort Song's jade register. And once she broke the jade register, it would be recorded by the Imperial Clan Court.
If the Fourth Prince were to pursue this matter, the Imperial Clan Court would bring out Granny Miao to be punished. After all, although Granny Miao was the Empress's personal attendant, she was still a servant. Consort Song, on the other hand, was the Consort of Prince Yong, belonging to half of the royal family, and was a mistress.
Granny Miao's hand froze on the spot, feeling as if she were caught in a dilemma.
Consort Song was not stunned. The moment the imperial jade tablet appeared, she activated her life-sustaining magic weapon.
A flowing cloud-patterned ruyi flew out from Consort Song's sleeve and instantly struck Granny Miao on the forehead.
It was true that Granny Miao was a Nascent Soul cultivator, but as a servant, she didn't possess any powerful magical artifacts. Furthermore, Lady Guarjia had just been crowned Empress, and her due privileges hadn't yet been fully granted. As the Empress's guardian nanny, Granny Miao's attire was still according to the standards for the guardian nanny of the Second Prince's wife.
Under such circumstances, Consort Song actually succeeded in her attack.
Her Flowing Cloud Ruyi, which she had somehow acquired, was truly a treasure. It allowed her to fight beyond her level and almost destroyed Granny Miao's physical body with a single blow.
"You old hag, die!"
Consort Song, who had been the one to suffer all this time, was now unforgiving and urged her Flowing Cloud Ruyi to chase after Granny Miao and continue to smash her.
Granny Miao was nearly killed by Liu Yunruyi's attack. Now that she had regained her senses, she dared not continue to fight with Consort Song. She glared at Consort Song hatefully and turned back to the Empress's palace.
However, Granny Miao was no pushover either.
When she appeared before the Empress, she looked extremely disheveled, and she shouted sharply, "Protect the Empress! Someone is trying to assassinate Her Majesty the Empress!"
That's a huge accusation. If Consort Song comes after her, even if she has the royal jade register of Prince Yong's consort to protect her, she will still be unable to escape the fate of being completely destroyed.
"That was fantastic!"
"They're all ruthless!"
Rong Xi, who was secretly watching everything, was shocked once again!
Consort Song seized the opportunity and decisively counterattacked; Granny Miao's quick thinking and cunning took a bite out of her...
This drama is getting more and more interesting.
Rong Xi was very excited and had a strong urge to interview Guarjia and ask her how she was feeling.
