After today’s morning greeting, Bai Yu was preparing to meet Ouyang Wenrou after she had sent an invitation. However, trouble seemed to find her again.
“Your Majesty, Liang Pin is flogged under Mu De Fei’s order. She has fainted.”
They were dismissed only recently. Why did a problem arise so soon?
A while ago, Mu De Fei was in a good mood after bragging that Ouyang Feilong had given her a flower, making other consorts’ eyes green with envy. The news of her being alone with the emperor for almost one shichen in the royal garden was heard throughout the inner court and had shaken Bai Yu’s throne. Today, she chose to sit and watch as Mu Qilin boasted about the sliver of favor that the emperor had given her.
