Consort Qi thought she had discovered a secret about Consort Jing, which could earn her great merit with Jun Yuyan, and that, eventually, Jun Yuyan would personally bring her precious grandchildren to the palace to keep her company.
Who would have known? Jun Yuyan outright refused, and wasn't even willing to listen to her talk about Consort Jing.
Furious, Consort Qi spent another sleepless night, her complexion worse the next day.
Fortunately, Consort Jing, preoccupied with her own concerns, stopped organizing audiences for the performances and avoided seeing people, which naturally meant no one noticed her poor complexion.
But Consort Qi felt a stifling anger in her chest, extremely uncomfortable.
She felt her life was truly bitter. Once exceedingly favored, she had thought the Emperor truly loved only her, but it turned out to be all an illusion in the end.
