Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The spring wind was always melodious.
The weather had always been beautiful, making the golden tiles and red walls in the palace look extremely beautiful.
Falling flowers and b.u.t.terflies fluttering amongst the flowers could be seen everywhere.
However, Grand Consort Yu was not in the mood to admire such good weather.
In Zhuyou Palace, Grand Consort Yu was lying on a bed.
There were two thick bruises on her exposed knees!
The new palace maid was carefully applying ointment on her knees.
Gu Rao stood at the side and couldn’t help but cry.
“Grandmother has suffered. You’ve only been reciting sutras for a few days, but you’ve already been tortured to this state!”
Grand Consort Yu endured the pain and hissed.
Her eyes were filled with a poisonous black glow.
n.o.ble Consort Qiao and her daughter were really good.
First, Gu Nuo’er asked her to chant sutras and pray for blessings for the late Empress, Madam Chi.
Later on, n.o.ble Consort Qiao sent people to cause trouble, causing her to make several mistakes in her recital. Every time, she had to start all over again!
If Grand Consort Yu didn’t comply, those imperial guards wouldn’t let her eat!
What she could have finished in the morning often dragged till late at night without Grand Consort Yu having a bite to eat!
n.o.ble Consort Qiao was the G.o.ddaughter taken in by the former Empress, Madam Chi.
Her mother, the old madam of the Grace Defender Duke household, was also Madam Chi’s close friend back then.
Now that Madam Chi was dead, she didn’t expect these two troublesome people to deal with her!
Perhaps the little palace maid had exerted too much force.
Grand Consort Yu cried out in pain and immediately vented her anger on her. “How are you going to serve me when you’re so clumsy? Get out!”
The young palace maid was so frightened that she trembled. She took the ointment and hurriedly left.
Grand Consort Yu thought of the little palace maid she had served previously.
She had served Grand Consort Yu better.
However, the little palace maid had left last time and didn’t come back.
Grand Consort Yu asked around and heard that she had committed some mistake and hanged herself with a piece of white silk.
Therefore, the matter that Grand Consort Yu had arranged for her naturally failed.
Gu Rao watched as the little palace maid closed the door.
She sat by the bed, her slender eyes that were identical to Grand Consort Yu’s letting out a sigh.
“Grandmother, the people in the palace don’t like us anymore. My father can’t eat or sleep well. When will Emperor Uncle show mercy?”
When Grand Consort Yu heard this, she became worried.
She could tell that Gu Yihan was serious about dealing with their family this time.
This emperor whom she had deliberately wanted to raise into a bad person back then had now become a voluptuous lion who had hurt them.
The only thing they could do now was to take the risk and think of another way.
Grand Consort Yu’s eyes flickered with unwillingness.
“Raorao, we can’t just sit here and wait for death.”
When Gu Rao heard this, she echoed, “When I think of how n.o.ble Consort Qiao and Gu Nuo’er must be feeling smug now, I feel indignant. What right do they have?!”
Why was it that nothing happened to her, but she was deprived of her t.i.tle as the Commandery Princess?
The food she ate every day was worse than what the palace maids ate!
Ever since Gu Rao was born, she was born with an endless supply of silk.
She had never suffered like this before!
Grand Consort Yu’s cold gaze locked onto her.
“Raorao, you also want to take revenge, right? Do you also want to see n.o.ble Consort Qiao and Gu Nuo’er disappointed?!”
Gu Rao nodded heavily.
Grand Consort Yu pursed her lips and smiled sinisterly.
“If you have this intention, we’re not afraid that we won’t be able to wait until the day we succeed. Now that only your father is grounded, you can still enter and leave freely. This is a good opportunity.
In a few days, it would be Gu Yihan’s birthday. At that time, the palace would hold a banquet. All the civil and military officials, as well as the consorts and concubines in the harem, would go.
“The scene will definitely be grand and lively. Why don’t you take advantage of that time to think of a way to put this bag of medicine into the water?”
She took out a palm-sized medicine bag from under the pillow and handed it to Gu Rao..
