Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Early in the morning, the Fengyi Palace looked solemn and dignified.

After Empress Du woke up in the morning to eat, a guest came uninvited.

Princess Consort Guang wore extremely simple clothes and greeted the Empress.

In the past, she had always loved gold, silver, and jewelry. Now that Prince

Guangs n.o.ble t.i.tle had been stripped away, she also looked a lot more haggard.

She was clearly only two years younger than the Empress, but she looked much older than the Empress.

Madam Tao, you may rise. Empress Dus expression was gentle and her tone was indifferent.

Now that her husband had been stripped of his position, the princess consort could no longer be addressed as princess consort Guang. sne could only be addressed by her surname.

In front of the Empress, she was equivalent to a commoner.

Madam Tao stood up. After she took a seat, she wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief and started to sob.

However, even after crying for a long time, the Empress didnt ask her what was going on.

Madam Tao couldnt help but raise her eyes and secretly take a look behind the handkerchief.

Empress Du was reading a book with great interest!

She didnt seem to be affected by her cries at all.

Madam Tao couldnt help but stop crying.

Empress Du didnt hear any crying sounds for a long time and even looked up.

Why arent you crying anymore? Did the sound of me flipping through a book disturb you? Hurry up and cry. Theres no one else here, and I wont tell anyone.

After saying that, she even smiled gently and generously before lowering her head to continue reading.

Madam Tao couldnt hide the embarra.s.sment on her face!

Since the Empress didnt fall for this, she could only cut to the chase.

Your Majesty, you must have heard of what this commoner has been through these past few days. Now, this commoner has nothing left but my life.

Im afraid it wont be long before His Majesty chases my husband, my children, and me out of the palace. Before we leave, I thought of how gentle and patient you are and especially came to remind you of a few things.

Empress Du placed the book on her legs and the jade bangle swayed on her fair wrist.

She looked up and asked, Go on, Im listening.

Your Majesty should have heard of it. Previously, His Majesty brought the n.o.ble consort out of the palace to visit incognito and even encountered someone in the chess hall spreading rumors and causing trouble.

The Empress nodded.

Madam Tao then said, His Majestys doting on the n.o.ble Consort has already reached this extent. Your Majesty, were both women, Prince my husband also had a few beautiful concubines in the past.

However, this commoner will never let them overstep their boundaries. A concubine is a concubine. Once they become the most important person in a mans heart, then the wifes status will also be in danger.

After Madam Tao finished speaking, she silently sized up the Empresss expression.

Empress Du still had a warm and indifferent expression. It was impossible to tell if she was happy or angry.

Madam Tao came to sow discord between n.o.ble Consort Qiao and Empress Du because she was certain that n.o.ble Consort Qiao was too doted on.

As the main wife and the head of the harem, could it be that the Empress was really as close to the n.o.ble consort as the rumors said?!

Madam Tao thought that that might not be the case.

Empress Du didnt say anything for a long time and only looked at Madam Tao fixedly.

It made her hair stand on end.

Madam Tao couldnt help but probe, Your Majesty?

Only then did Empress Du seem to come back to her senses. She smiled. Are you done?

Madam Tao was speechless.

This commoner is speaking sincerely at the risk of offending the n.o.ble consort. Please think about it carefully, Your Majesty!

Empress Du smiled. Madam Tao, there are some things you might not know since youre an outsider.

She blinked mysteriously. Before n.o.ble Consort Qiao and His Majesty left the palace, they also came to ask me if I wanted to go and take a walk and relax.

Madam Tao was stunned.

What?

Empress Du chuckled. Ive always liked peace and quiet, so I naturally didnt go. However, n.o.ble Consort Qiao even asked Consort Yi, Consort Lan, Consort MO, and the others.. Could it be that in your eyes, this is also n.o.ble Consort

Qiaos way of winning His Majesty over?
