Liu Changzai seemed to be completely absorbed in her dancing. While doing a spinning move, she twisted her ankle and fell off the artificial hill.
Of course, Consort Liu did not fall; at the crucial moment, the Emperor leaped up and caught her.
That was bad enough, but the most important thing was that Consort Liu's skirt was somehow torn, and the Emperor saw her body.
The emperor had no choice but to take her back to the Nine Star Palace.
Liu Changzai spent the entire day in the Jiuchen Palace.
News came in the evening that Consort Liu would be staying at the Jiuchen Palace to serve the emperor that night.
That's why Empress Dowager Guo was so angry and furious.
Once Empress Dowager Guo had calmed down, the palace maid cautiously said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. It's just Consort Liu. There's no need for Your Majesty to get angry over someone like her. In a few days, once the Ministry of Rites has selected a suitable replacement, the palace will be lively. At that time, Your Majesty won't need to lift a finger; plenty of people will want to deal with her."
Upon hearing this, Empress Dowager Guo was indeed less angry, but she was still furious. She said coldly, "You are right. That Wen Ruyi is just good at using some seductive tricks. When more beautiful and fresh beauties enter the palace, she will become a thing of the past."
She actually regretted not arranging for beauties for Gu Heng earlier, otherwise Wen Ruyi wouldn't have been able to take advantage of the situation so easily.
Gu Heng was young and had never been with a woman before, so he naturally couldn't resist someone like Wen Ruyi.
Empress Dowager Guo was in a very gloomy mood.
But since things have come to this point, there is no other way.
She couldn't possibly risk a conflict with the Emperor for the sake of a lowly woman like Wen Ruyi; that would be far too unwise.
Since the palace will be taking in concubines in a few days, why should she lower herself to deal with Wen Ruyi personally?
There will be plenty of excitement to watch then.
"What the Empress Dowager says is absolutely right. Moreover, I've heard that the Uyghur princess is extremely fond of the Emperor, and she is also very beautiful. Once she enters the palace, Liu Chang will be no match for her," the palace maid quickly added.
Empress Dowager Guo nodded. She had met A-Tuo Jiang Hua at the palace banquet that day. She was extremely shrewish and also knew martial arts. Wen Ruyi would have a hard time then.
"Alright, let's leave it at that. I have more important things to do." Empress Dowager Guo said, then went to the inner room to fuss over her face.
The palace maid's eyes flickered.
Although Empress Dowager Guo was already in her thirties, she was well-preserved and looked only in her twenties. However, she was not satisfied and insisted on applying pearl powder to her face every day and eating bird's nest with every meal...
Thinking of this, the palace maid touched her face, which had been cut by a shard of porcelain, and sighed sadly.
Jiuchen Palace.
Wen Ruyi looked at the man sleeping soundly beside her, her face unusually pale.
Tonight was her first time, and afterwards, he didn't even offer a word of concern or care.
Did he only use her as a bed warmer?
After using it, it was simply left aside.
Wen Ruyi was filled with resentment, but there was nothing she could do.
This step was something she had planned. She had finally become the emperor's woman, but she was not happy at all.
She didn't like Gu Heng. Although he was good-looking and even resembled Gu Linchao in some ways, he didn't have Gu Linchao's charm, even though he was a few years younger than Gu Linchao.
As she thought about it, Wen Ruyi's heart was filled with hatred and jealousy towards Wen Nongnong.
She got to this point today because of Wen Nongnong.
