Chapitre 814: 378 Happy (one more update)

The Emperor and Empress Dowager were busy outwitting each other, and neither noticed the unusual behavior of the Quiet Consort across from them; in other words, at that instant, the Quiet Consort became invisible to their eyes.

Only Gu Jiao, who had been observing the Quiet Consort's reactions, noticed every detail.

Actually, she didn't quite understand.

The Quiet Consort was ruthless enough to drug the Emperor and arrange for an assassin to attack him—although the assassination that night might not have been intended to take the Emperor's life, but rather to scare and injure him, in order to frame her aunt. In any case, it proved that she didn't love the Emperor that much.

So why should she care at all whom the Emperor favored?

Gu Jiao wasn't someone with a strong desire for control and naturally couldn't empathize with the Quiet Consort's feelings.
