Despite Jade's best efforts to conceal it, Shen Biyun still noticed something unusual about Jade.
"You are the most careful and cautious person around me, how could you possibly have touched your forehead? Jade, what exactly happened?"
Shen Biyun's voice became serious, and a hint of solemnity flashed in her eyes.
Jade took a deep breath, her heart filled with hesitation.
Should we tell the Empress about the Prime Minister's news?
The Empress is in poor health and is currently depressed. If she were to learn about the Prime Minister's affairs, would she be able to bear it?
These are turbulent times already. If something else were to happen to Her Majesty the Empress, then...
Jade bit her lip tightly and remained silent.
I'm sorry, Your Majesty. If you want to blame someone, blame Jade. Jade acted on her own initiative. However, Jade does not regret it.
Jade looked resolute, then shook her head.
"Your Majesty, nothing has happened. This servant just wanted Your Majesty to eat more. If you are healthy, you will have a better future."
"What hope do I have of getting ahead? Things have already turned out this way, do you expect me to wait for that man to change his mind?"
Shen Biyun sneered, but her eyes remained fixed on the jade.
Jade was quite frightened by the aura emanating from Shen Biyun, and was now even more terrified.
Just then, Shen Biyun asked another question.
"Jade, have you received any news? Is it about the Emperor or that woman? Tell me, I can accept it whether it's good or bad."
Since entering the Cold Palace, Shen Biyun has changed how she addresses Cang Xixue.
No longer the Imperial Noble Consort, nor Cang Xixue, but simply referred to that woman.
That's just how it is. That woman, that princess of Qi, that woman who instigated Feng Guche to banish her to the cold palace!
"Your Majesty, there is no news from the Emperor, nor from the Imperial Noble Consort."
At this point, Jade's voice gradually softened, and she paused again.
"What happened to the Prime Minister? Has something happened at the Prime Minister's residence?"
Shen Biyun was intelligent and cautious; she could guess from just a few words that something had happened at the Prime Minister's residence.
Jade was speaking absentmindedly, clearly indicating that she already knew some news.
Since Jade has rejected Feng Guche and that woman, the only thing that could make Jade so uneasy is the Prime Minister's residence.
Jade knew that the Prime Minister's affair couldn't be kept secret for long, but she never expected that the Empress would so quickly detect the clues from her words.
"Speak quickly!"
Upon realizing that something had happened at the Prime Minister's residence, Shen Biyun became very nervous.
While anxious, Shen Biyun wanted to get out of bed, but she felt lightheaded and dizzy as soon as she moved.
"Your Highness, please don't frighten me. What's wrong?"
When Jade's voice reached Shen Biyun's ears, everything went black before her eyes, and then she lost consciousness.
"Your Majesty, someone help! The Empress has fainted!"
Emerald screamed at the top of her lungs, her voice trembling with tears.
Before long, some palace maids and servants ran to the courtyard where the Empress was.
However, most of these people were just there to watch the spectacle.
The crowd huddled together, standing ramrod straight, and no one uttered a sound.
