Among the concubines in this entourage, except for those who were allied with herself and Noble Consort Xi, who always stayed away from the drama, the other concubines were never Consort Mei’s match. Besides, shoes and socks were personal items, only people close to her would be able to have contact with these items, and she was surrounded by trusted people.
No! Incorrect!
The little b̲i̲t̲c̲h̲ Lin Feilu came by when I was taking a nap in Zhonghe Hall!
For a fraction of a moment, Consort Mei felt that she might have been oversensitive.
It was just a naive five-year-old girl. Although she hated the little girl, Consort Mei never feared her. She was not worried when her plan failed the last time. She had plenty more opportunities to get rid of her after returning to the palace. She did not care at all.
But except for her, no one else had a chance to get close to her shoes and socks during this period!
A sheen of sweat emitted on Consort Fei’s back. The little girl was only five years old, how could she be so resourceful and scheming!
Not necessarily. There is the possibility that Consort Xian could have been behind all of this!
Consort Xian is extremely opposed to Consort Hui, and is on extremely bad terms with myself too. Could Consort Xian have instigated the little girl? Otherwise, how could a five-year-old girl come up with such a vicious scheme?!
The more Consort Mei thought about it, the more she was convinced of it.
Only a concubine experienced in harem fight could come up with such means and tactics!
Consort Mei was suddenly boiling with anger, eager to confront Consort Xian in that instant. She calmed down in the end, but swore revenge in her heart. After gaining control of her emotions, she headed towards Consort Hui’s palace.
Consort Hui was puzzled when she heard about the incident. As soon as Consort Mei arrived, she pulled her into the inner room and dismissed the servants, then asked, “What happened? Why was his Majesty angry at Sister?”
Although it was difficult for Consort Mei to relive the incident, she still braced herself and reiterated the horrifying incident. She was about to burst into tears again when she finished, “Consort Xian is a poisonous woman! Now I see her murderous intentions, and we have always underestimated her! I will never forgive her!”
Consort Hui was stunned.
Among all the harem fights, this was the first time such tactics had been used.
She glanced at Consort Mei’s feet, imagining the scene she had just described, and could not help feeling suffocated.
She held Consort Mei’s hand, fully empathising with her devastation and anger, “I told you before, the Fifth Princess is not as naive and innocent despite her age. Remember what she did to my little girl servant? You even said I was overthinking. Now do you understand what I mean?”
Consort Mei regretted that she was not more careful before. Gritting her teeth, “I should have just gotten rid of her in the post station!”
Consort Hui shushed her, and lowered her voice, “We didn’t have enough time, and our preparation was not thorough enough, it was only reasonable that we failed. Recently, his Majesty had been keeping a close watch on her safety, and she’s often together with Noble Consort Xi. It’s really not a good time to do anything now. But we will have plenty of opportunities when we return to the palace.”
Consort Mei gritted her teeth, “Who would have known that stupid b*tch Xiao Lan would give birth to a daughter smarter than her. She didn’t just teamed up with Consort Xian, but also coaxed the princes and princesses. Now even his Majesty is so fond of her! I can’t drag on any more, this disaster must be gotten rid of as soon as possible!”
