For the next few days, Qin Nuo always served her meals using the banner, leaving her alone with someone.

Shen Yixin had always been a coward. Although Qin Nuo had often told hesheto stay behind with Xia Yi Qiu to speak, she wasn't as free as Xia Yi Qiu. She didn't even dare to raise her eyes and reply. Even though he felt that she was similar to the original princess, he didn't dare to say it out loud.

In the days when they were carrying the title of Qin Muxue, other than when everyone came to pay respects, Qin Nuo had never had any intimate interactions with him. However, from Ming Liu's mouth, they could tell that this An Kexin was slightly different from the others.

"Miss Mei Yue said that she was not feeling well. She just instructed the little girl to go back and forth from the Empress, and then she did not come to greet the Empress." "Jade Peach whispered into Qin Nuo's ear. This servant thought that it was not a big deal, so I sent the little girl away. "

Qin Nuo laughed.

In the past few days, Jing Shuyi used the excuse that her hand was still injured, and didn't appear in front of everyone again. It's just that today, Mei Yue suddenly became sick, what a coincidence!

Qin Nuo did not keep anyone else to serve, after saying a few words, she dismissed the crowd. She was not in a hurry to return to the ice-cold room, instead, she drank her tea slowly and instructed Ming Liu.

"From today onwards, I will go to the Warm Pavilion. Get someone to clean it up."

"It's being cleaned every day!" Ming Liu laughed. The prince had already instructed a few days ago that the Empress might feel cold and say when the Empress wanted to go to the Warm Pavilion, so she could just go. Empress take a look, Prince cares so much for the Empress! "

Qin Nuo was already accustomed to Ming Liu taking advantage of this opportunity to confess for their Duke.

"In the past few days, Your Highness should be at concubine's side, right?"

"The Empress was really careless with the Prince's matters." Following the laughter that contained a trace of coldness, Jing Shuyi slowly walked in. Your highness has been busy with matters outside these few days and has not returned home! "

Ming Liu and Peaches looked at each other, and Ming Liu couldn't help but frown. This concubine really did not put the Empress in her eyes at all and did not allow anyone to report to anyone. Seeing that there was no change in the Empress's expression, the two of them could only submit and serve Jing Shuyi some tea.

Qin Nuo laughed indifferently as if she did not hear Jing Shuyi's obvious provocation.

"How's the wound on your hand? "Speaking of which, you are really vicious. How could you do that to yourself!"

Jing Shuyi's expression slightly changed. She never would have thought that Qin Nuo would say that the wounds on her hands were done on purpose, in front of the three girls.

"Consort does not understand the Empress's words. If it wasn't for the Empress's carelessness, how could Consort be injured! " Jing Shuyi smiled slightly. Since this Empress was so direct, she wasn't willing to lower her head in front of her.

If the prince wasn't here, who would she show gentleness to? Besides, in terms of looks and family background, she didn't believe that she was in any way inferior to this wangfei. I really don't know why the Prince had to make this woman into the Chief Consort. Other people might believe that he was thinking for the greater good, but she didn't believe it!

Qin Nuo said as she slowly put down the teacup.

"However, let me give you a word of advice. It's fine to be with others, but for me, it's better if you don't have to worry about it! "If you have such thoughts, why don't you dress yourself up more daintily and be more gentle and sincere? That's my duty as a concubine."

On Jing Shuyi's face, it had long ago alternated between red and white. Originally, she had heard that Ling Yexuan hadn't been home for a few days and wanted to add fuel to the fire for him. This made Qin Nuo felt that Ling Yexuan had something that he had to tell her instead of telling his. But who knew that Qin Nuo would not only take this, but even talk about the wounds on her hands, with a bunch of them, she simply did not give her any face at all.

"Consort doesn't understand the Empress's words!" Jing Shuyi suppressed the anger in her heart and squeezed out a smile. "Consort has only come to pay respects to the Empress, so the Empress has nothing to say. If lass were to listen, I would have thought that the Empress would not be able to tolerate the Consort, and would have made a fool of herself instead."

"I am only the foster daughter of the Prime Minister, I am not afraid of this saying!" concubine knew that it would make people laugh, so she stopped thinking about it.

Qin Nuo's face darkened, and no longer had a smile on it.

With that said, Qin Nuo quietly took a deep breath. She spoke too smoothly and almost said "a few days ago." You have to know, she had only been in the manor for a few days.

Qin Nuo's words not only made it difficult for Jing Shuyi to resist, it also made Bi Tao, Ming Liu, and Zhuo Tao dumbstruck. Peaches was only surprised that her own master would say such words. Ming Liu and Zhuo Tao, on the other hand, had stayed in the palace before. Although they weren't very old, they still knew a bit about the palace's imperial concubines' methods of vying for favour. These things that the Empress said often happened in the palace!

Just that, even if the Empress was born in a civilian, and was not raised in a room with a woman whom she did not know, she should not have known about it so clearly!

Ming Liu could not help but turn slightly pale.

Zhuo Tao's eyes flashed as she secretly sucked in a breath of cold air. Empress knows too much, she was not sent by anyone, who would believe that!

It was just that, at the moment, only the Prince Jing was competing with the Duke, but the people who were related to the Prince Jing could not be the wangfei! Could it be that there was still another branch of power within the palace that had yet to show it? Then, wouldn't the king's situation be even more dangerous?

Thinking about how the prince hadn't come back for the past few days, who knows what had happened to him!

Jing Shuyi had also gradually calmed down at this time, and could not help but reveal a cold smile.

This Empress was in a hurry to suppress her, but she had forgotten about those things that would only appear in the back rooms of a large family or in the palace. She was just a commoner, how could she speak as if she had seen it with her own eyes?

"The Empress's words are true." Jing Shuyi lowered his eyes, suppressed the doubt in his eyes and gave a reserved smile. Actually, the Empress was overthinking it. Consort admitted that she was slightly unwilling, but she did not have that many dark thoughts in her mind. No matter what, Consort will not do anything that would harm Your Highness. "

"That's good!" Qin Nuo squinted her eyes for a bit, and even she did not realise, that this little action was very similar to Ling Yexuan's. I was just planning for a rainy day. Although it's hard to avoid targeting you, it's still a matter of selfishness. Since the Prince has entrusted me to take care of this backyard, I naturally hope that everyone will get along with each other peacefully and not let the Prince worry about the trivial matters within the mansion. "

"Consort understands. Consort will definitely not let Your Highness know about what happened today. " Jing Shuyi immediately replied.

"It doesn't matter if you let His Highness know, just don't let others know!" As Qin Nuo said this, the corners of her mouth suddenly lifted into a smile. What am I saying! The concubine is a young miss from a rich family, she would naturally not be related to anyone from the outside. At most, she would just be able to meet with your brothers and sisters! "

Jing Shuyi's eyes flashed, and she started laughing as well.

"It's the same for the Empress. Other than her own brother, who else could it be?!"

"That's different." "Qin Nuo laughed even more happily. His Royal Highness had promised me that if I wanted to leave the palace, I would only have to speak to him. I think that your highness only made an exception by showing sympathy to me because I'm not used to staying in the compound! "
