Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In this split second, n.o.ble Consort Qiao suddenly looked up.
She looked gorgeous and had a faint smile on her face.
She said slowly, “Grand Consort Yu, could it be that you stole this key?”
Grand Consort Yu was stunned.
She never expected this.
When n.o.ble Consort Qiao heard this, not only did she not panic, but she also played the blame game!
How could she have stolen it?!
Grand Consort Yu panicked first. “Don’t spout nonsense. I just happened to pick it up.”
n.o.ble Consort Qiao smiled even more. “Grand Consort also knows the importance of the key to the private treasury. Why didn’t you give it to His Majesty after picking it up? What did you come to tell me?”
Grand Consort Yu was speechless for a moment. “You… Of course I want to tell you first on account of our relationship. It would be best if you can avoid His Majesty’s punishment for you. Why doesn’t n.o.ble Consort Qiao know how to appreciate people’s kind intentions?”
n.o.ble Consort Qiao’s red lips curled up into a mocking smile.
“Relationship?” She raised her head slightly, carrying a unique domineering and arrogant aura as if she was looking down on everyone in the world.
“Grand Consort Yu, you’re muddle-headed. I’m not close with you, so how can we have a relationship? If we’re really talking about it, the previous empress, Madam Chi, was my G.o.dmother. The two of you are on bitter terms with each other. Strictly speaking, you should be my enemy.”
n.o.ble Consort Qiao emphasized the word ‘enemy’.
Because of her aura, Grand Consort Yu involuntarily took a step back.
She looked at n.o.ble Consort Qiao steadily. “It’s all in the past, but n.o.ble Consort Qiao still bears a grudge until now?”
The n.o.ble Consort lowered her head slightly and chuckled softly.
“How can I not remember? Do you think that there’s no one in the world who hates you after the previous empress pa.s.sed on? I’ve never been one to make false claims. I’ll be disappointing Grand Consort.”
Grand Consort Yu stared at her with a sinister gaze. “I know that your mother and the former empress are good friends. It’s normal for you to hate me.
“However, n.o.ble Consort Qiao, don’t forget that His Majesty doesn’t like others to mention the former empress. Even if you’re relying on the little princess’s favor alone, don’t be too presumptuous.” Suddenly, a sharp and serious voice sounded— “When did I say that I don’t like it?”
Grand Consort Yu’s expression changed, and n.o.ble Consort Qiao was also stunned.
Everyone turned around and saw a bright yellow figure walking over with people. They immediately knelt on the ground.
Gu Yihan was the first to pull n.o.ble Consort Qiao up.
He glanced at her and pulled her behind him.
“Grand Consort Yu, pay attention to respect when talking to n.o.ble Consort.”
Grand Consort Yu’s eyes widened.
Did she hear wrongly?
n.o.ble Consort Qiao was her junior and she was her elder, but he actually wanted her to respect n.o.ble Consort Qiao?!
Grand Consort Yu suddenly looked up. “Your Majesty, this…”
Gu Yihan’s eyes were cold as he interrupted what she was about to say.
“It’s already not easy for n.o.ble Consort to give birth to a daughter for me, but she also has to take care of the internal affairs in the harem. Don’t come and annoy her in the future.”
Grand Consort Yu felt as if her teeth had bitten into her tongue and she couldn’t say anything!
How did she become the one who annoyed n.o.ble Consort Qiao?
Grand Consort Yu gritted her teeth and explained, “Actually, it was a chance encounter. I just came out to take a walk…”
However, n.o.ble Consort Qiao suddenly stuck her head out from behind Gu Yihan and said, “Really? But didn’t Grand Consort Yu say that you picked up the key to the private treasury and came to look for me because of this?” Gu Yihan slowly frowned. “What’s going on?”
Grand Consort Yu hurriedly said, “When I went for a walk the other day, I picked up a set of dragon-shaped tourmaline keys. As I’ve seen it at the late emperor’s place before, I know that this is the key to Your Majesty’s private treasury.”
After saying that, Grand Consort Yu even smiled. “I was wondering how it could have been lost, so I came to return it to n.o.ble Consort Qiao..”
