The palace maid handed the Empress a cup of hot tea. “Your Majesty, Grand Consort Yu has already left. This servant saw that she was muttering something before leaving.”

Du Yilan smiled, her delicate eyes looking even gentler under the candlelight in the room.

She took a sip of tea. “Grand Consort Yu is clearly here to get me to seek justice. She probably has the intention to sow discord between me and Yayu.

“However, it’s a pity. Does she think that my brain has also gone bad just because I’ve been sick for all these years? What she said tonight is really ridiculous!”

She actually came to her to seek justice.

Putting aside that Gu Nuo’er was like her biological daughter...

As for Commandery Princess Rouqing, she was really a troublemaker.

Talking about a tree blocking the sun and she couldn’t get any sunlight, then later on saying that she had gotten too much sunlight and hurt her eyes.

Du Yilan had a restrained and obedient personality.

She hated young girls who deliberately causes trouble like this the most.

Therefore, she was definitely on Nuo’er’s side.

The palace maid nodded and echoed, “This servant heard from the young palace maids from the other palaces that the Princess Consort Guang has been going around the harem a lot these few days.

“First, she went to Consort Yi’s place and was awed by Consort Yi’s luxurious beauty. Consort Yi said that she looked too poor and was unwilling to chat with her.

“Later on, she went to visit Consort Lan. Consort Lan had a soft personality and held Princess Consort Guang’s hand. She suspected that Princess Consort Guang’s blood was clotted and insisted on getting the third prince to take her pulse and perform acupuncture on her. Princess Consort Guang was so frightened that she bade farewell.

“Later on, she even wanted to go and visit Consort Mo. Unexpectedly, before she could enter the courtyard, she was immediately hit by the eighth prince’s mechanism and even lost a bunch of hair!”

When the palace maid said this, she had lingering fears.

“I heard from other palace maids that if Princess Consort Guang had taken another step forward, her nose would definitely be cut off! It seems that

Consort MO scared her. After Princess Consort Guang returned to Zhuyou

Palace, she didn’t visit the other consorts anymore.”

When Empress Du heard this, she couldn’t help but laugh softly.

“None of the consorts in our harem are to be trifled with. It’s no wonder that Grand Consort Yu came tonight.”

Princess Consort Guang should be so frightened that she no longer dared to make random visits.

The palace maid said proudly, “It’s only because Your Majesty has a good temper and doesn’t hold it against Grand Consort Yu.”

Du Yilan smiled gently and asked with a deep gaze, “Don’t hold it against her?”

Her gaze was calm and gentle.

The next day, the entire harem heard about this matter.

Grand Consort Yu went to visit the Empress in the middle of the night and chatted with her.

Empress Du forced herself to hang on with her weak body to accompany her to relieve her boredom. In the end, after Grand Consort Yu left, the empress fell sick!

She had a headache the entire morning and couldn’t get up!

All the consorts from the various palaces had gone to visit her.

Everyone cursed Grand Consort Yu’s family in their hearts.

Gu Yihan went to the Jinluan Hall to attend court in the morning.

He saw Prince Guang standing respectfully at the bottom of the steps.

The emperor frowned and walked over to kick Prince Guang’s butt.

Prince Guang let out a cry but didn’t dare to get angry. “Imperial Brother, what did I do wrong again?”

Gu Yihan looked at him coldly. “Tell the grand consort not to move around too much if there’s nothing important. The Empress has been disturbed by her and has fallen sick again. Do you know how many years the Empress has been recuperating before she slowly got better? Now that she’s implicated by the Grand Consort, she hasn’t gotten up yet!”

Prince Guang was shocked. “Huh? Imperial Sister-in-law is sick? This, this, this, this... I will call my wife to serve her by her sickbed when I go back later.”

“There’s no need!” Gu Yihan’s voice was cold. “If you guys don’t disturb her, it’ll be the best service. Get lost. I feel annoyed just by looking at your chubby face.” nOve)lb/In

The surrounding civil and military officials heard this and lowered their heads, not daring to watch the commotion.

However, everyone mocked Prince Guang’s sorry state in their hearts. Prince Guang didn’t dare to disobey Gu Yihan and left dejectedly..
