Bab 879: 357: Digging a pit for Su Xinyi in front of Your Majesty

Noble Consort Li today didn't possess her usual haughty demeanor; she seemed to have reverted to the humble and understated Noble Consort Li that everyone used to praise and was considerably gentler even towards Su Xinyi.

Su Xinyi felt that this was not a good sign; such a Noble Consort Li would not be easy to deal with.

Consort Ruan was visibly restless, especially since Noble Consort Li kept talking to her today. Her anxiety was palpable, and her complexion had begun to turn a faint shade of white.

The Empress sat at the top, glancing at Noble Consort Li with a hint of disdain hidden deep in her eyes, but she said with a smile, "Noble Consort doesn't need to worry, before long Prince Xiang will marry, and you should also pay more attention to the affairs at Prince Xiang's Mansion. I have heard that Aunt Fu, who was sent to the country estate, has been brought back. Is that so?"
