No! Impossible! There is no precedent in the royal family for a Han woman to become a consort. How could Hongli possibly violate ancestral family rules? Comforting herself in this way, Yu Ying felt a little better and warned herself not to worry unnecessarily.
In Jingren Palace, Su Yushan knelt on the ground with her eyes lowered, for her nanny had taught her not to look directly at the imperial concubines when entering the palace. Now that such a thing had happened, she didn't dare to take a closer look at what the rumored Consort Xi looked like.
Consort Xi ordered Su Yushan to recount the whole story. Her voice was extremely imposing, and Su Yushan dared not hide anything and told the truth.
Upon hearing this, Consort Xi's brow twitched. "So, my son was seriously injured while saving you?"
This was a fact, and Su Yushan did not deny it, nodding, "Yes."

A sharp pain shot through her, and at the same time, hot water splashed everywhere, soaking her clothes and splashing hot tea onto the back of her hand, turning it red instantly, with a stinging sensation spreading through her.
The bowl of tea had been poured by a palace maid not long ago. Consort Xi was furious and smashed the teacup at her to vent her anger.
Su Yushan endured the pain and dared not argue, because Hongli was indeed injured because of her, and she had implicated Hongli. It was only natural that Consort Xi would be angry, so she could only silently bear Consort Xi's anger.
Even though her hand was burned by the hot tea, Consort Xi was still not satisfied. She pointed at her angrily and rebuked her:
"You're a jinx, always causing trouble. That year, when my son took you out of the manor, he met Hongchang, and a conflict arose because of you. This time, it's because of taking you out of the manor that he's brought about his death. You're a menace, only bringing disaster to my son!"
My son even wants to promote you to the rank of secondary consort, but you're not even worthy of being a concubine! Keeping you around is just a disaster, divorce me! You must be divorced! You're not fit to be Hongli's woman!"
