Settling Old and New Scores Together

Ordinary consorts would be overjoyed upon hearing the news of pregnancy. However, when Noble Consort Xin heard it, not only did she not show any signs of happiness, but her face also turned paler.

Fortunately, the clever palace maid, Yuzhu, smiled and said, “Please excuse the misunderstanding, Master. Niangniang is just overly delighted and momentarily lost her senses!”

Upon hearing this, Noble Consort Xin finally forced a smile on her pale face and asked Yuzhu to fetch some silver as a reward for Director Liu.

Director Liu kept his composure, as he was accustomed to feigning ignorance. As a court physician who had risen to the position of an imperial envoy, he had long become used to such situations. After receiving the reward, he withdrew.

Once he left, Noble Consort Xin immediately smashed the jade pillow on the bed with a loud sound, startling the nearby palace maids and eunuchs.
