762 Empress Schemes 2_1

The Noble Consort and the Empress had been at odds for many years, each scoring numerous victories and losses.

Having risen from a lowly maid to her current position was no small feat.

However, she had ultimately failed to secure the position of Crown Prince for Wei Ya, and had yet to dethrone the Empress. Each encounter with the Empress, willing or not, required her to pay her respects. In that respect, she was still a failure.

She had always been overshadowed by the Empress.

Bi Yun knew she had always begrudged this fact.

With Emperor Yue seriously ill and the Empress under house arrest, it'd be difficult to find a better opportunity to vent her frustrations.

The Empress might even die in the process.

The Noble Consort was a woman of impulse and would not hesitate to act once she had decided on something. Thus, she changed into simple attire and ventured out that very night.

Such matters were best kept secret, and so she only brought Bi Yun along.
