Consort Zhao's acting skills have always been quite good; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to survive so well in the treacherous harem. She fainted very skillfully, without instinctively using her hands to support herself on the ground. Instead, she leaned against the chair and slowly slid down.
Upon seeing this, the guests were immediately in an uproar, then began whispering among themselves, and some, fearing trouble, tried to leave.
Li Langxuan was blind and naturally didn't know what was happening. Just then, a servant whispered a few words in his ear, and his expression immediately changed drastically. He exclaimed, "Sister?!"
Shang Yunlan also feigned shock, but he quickly recovered and immediately sealed off the entire Yongle Marquis's residence: "Please forgive me, esteemed guests, but it is probably not an accident that Her Highness has fainted at this time, given her noble status."
He paused for a moment, then said, "Therefore, I will have to trouble you all to wait here for a while until the matter is resolved before you leave."
Everyone was somewhat dissatisfied, but the one who fainted was Consort Zhao, the host of the banquet was Marquis Yongle, and the one who spoke was Duke Zhenguo. These three people, let alone together, were not people who could be offended even individually.
Therefore, all the dissatisfaction had to be swallowed.
Shang Yunlan and Li Langxuan hurriedly entered the back hall, then sat down and began to drink tea.
Consort Zhao, who was carried into the room, also poured herself a cup of tea and asked uncertainly, "Can...can I really take this opportunity to leave?"
Shang Yunlan smiled and nodded: "Your Majesty need not worry, Yaochen knows what's going on."
Seeing his calm and composed demeanor, Consort Zhao felt a little more at ease. She smiled and said, "Please don't call me 'Your Majesty' anymore, it's very unlucky. My name is Li Langhuan, and my nickname is Zhaozhao. You can call me Sister Zhaozhao from now on."
Shang Yunlan smiled and agreed, then asked, "General, have you brought everything?"
Li Langhuan nodded: "I've brought the tiger tally and the prescription."
The tiger tally had always been in her possession, and Emperor Chen assumed that Li Langhuan would spend her entire life in the palace, so he wasn't in a hurry to take it back—he never imagined that Li Langhuan would dare to take the tiger tally out of the palace and intend to never return.
