“Greetings, Noble Consort.”
The palace maid inside the bedroom felt her heart tightened. She bent her body slightly as the gaze she used to look at Noble Consort Lin was full of apprehension.
“The empress taught you well. You are constantly vigilant.” Noble Consort Lin smiled. “However, you don’t have to worry. Fifth Princess is not the young prince. The young prince destroyed my son’s inn, but Fifth Princess is without fault. I am merely here to visit her.”
Her scanned the room and stopped at the Divine Spirit Fluid that was left on the table.
Jealousy and envy were like ants gnawing at her heart, causing her heart to twitch vigorously.
Back when her son was being harmed by the rival kingdoms and had almost lost his life, His Majesty was not willing to even provide a mouthful of the Divine Spirit Fluid.
Now, Qi Qin’er was but a girl, yet he was willing to do so!
Noble Consort Lin subconsciously clenched her fists, but she remained calm as she said with a smile, “That’s right. Where is the empress?”
The palace maid remained vigilant as she bowed and replied, “The empress has just left. However, she will return soon.”
“Alright.”
Noble Consort Lin casually responded and did not approach the big bed as she kept the smile on her face.
“If the empress is not around, then it’s alright. The princess was already on the brink of death. I dare not to be too careless. Otherwise... if anything were to happen and the blame falls on me, that would not be good. I will come and see the princess when the empress returns.”
Noble Consort Lin looked at the palace maid indifferently as she turned around and left.
With that, the palace maid secretly felt relieved. A light wind blew past her face like an invisible hand.
However, the palace maid could not help but frown.
This Noble Consort Lin, did she put too much fragrance on today? Even the wind carried the smell of her fragrance, and it made one feel uncomfortable...
However, seeing that she did not approach Qi Qin’er, the tense face of the palace maid relaxed. She was really afraid that Noble Consort Lin would really do something to the princess, taking advantage of the empress’s absence.
Good thing she knew her place and did not take a step closer to the princess.
***
After the empress left the princess’s bedroom, she went straight to the little fatty’s room.
Not knowing why, she felt a little uneasy as her fingers subconsciously tugged the placket by her neck. She took a deep breath before opening the room door.
Those guards only disallowed the little fatty to step outside, but they did not stop the empress from entering. Therefore, she entered the room without hindrance.
At this moment, the little fatty was crying his eyes out, just like a fat little kitten.
After he saw the empress, he wailed loudly before rushing over to her.
“Imperial Mother, how is Elder Sister?”
The empress felt her heart tightened. She patted the little fatty’s head as she lowered her gaze to ask, “Tell me, was it, or was it not Qin’er and your fault yesterday?”
Little Fatty immediately shook his head. “It was not our fault. It was that despicable citizen that ran into elder sister twice in a row, and I felt that he had done it on purpose. So, I wanted to punish him on Elder Sister’s behalf. Who knew that Feng Lianyi indiscriminately framed elder sister and me!”
“Alright,” the empress clenched her fists tightly. “As long as it is not both your fault... then that’s good.”
“Imperial Mother...” Little Fatty raised his head. “You believe us?”
The empress hesitated for a moment but finally spoke the truth. “It is because Qin’er said... you had gotten into a disagreement with Feng Lianyi for the sake of saving her.”
What she meant was that the one she believed in was Qi Qin’er.
Indeed, compared to the little fatty who was used to being evil, the naïve, innocent, matured, and obedient Qi Qin’er made others trust her very easily.
