Chapter 222 Reminder

Consort Yu's demeanor showed some hesitation.

Chu Nanli moved closer, whispering in her ear, "Just speak your mind."

Only then Consort Yu began to stammer as she started, "I am worried... that if the Emperor finds out I've contracted smallpox, he will despise me, thinking I'm an ill-omened person."

Chu Nanli could fully understand Consort Yu's mindset.

After all, in this imperial harem, gaining the Emperor's favor is extremely important.

However, she could not conceal Consort Yu's illness on her behalf.

"Consort Yu, I understand, if this matter were to get out, you would risk losing favor,"

"But if we conceal this, the consequences won't just be as simple as losing favor, it could possibly implicate your maternal family," Chu Nanli said earnestly.

She wasn't threatening Consort Yu, merely explaining the potential consequences.

Indeed, after hearing Chu Nanli's words, Consort Yu appeared more hesitant.
