Recently, Consort Liang has often had "chance encounters" with me.
She openly and subtly mocks my lack of ability.
" consort Jiang, your rank is low and you have no favor."
"I wonder how you managed to deceive the Emperor into giving you Prince Jing Lin."
I smiled and said nothing.
The Empress told me that when Prince Jing Lin was born, all the concubines in the palace were eager to raise him.
Consort Liang was the most enthusiastic among them.
But unexpectedly, Prince Jing Lin ended up being taken by me.
She is unwilling to accept this, which is why she frequently seeks trouble with me.
The Empress advised, "Jiang Lili, just let her have her way a little."
"I am gravely ill and cannot attend to other matters."
"You have no background, so it's hard to survive in this harem."
"If I am no longer here, you must be very careful."
I nodded in agreement.
The Empress was gravely ill and had entrusted the management of the six palaces to Consort Chen.
She also privately taught me how to handle matters within the harem.
Consort Chen was not pleased about it.
But there was nothing she could do.
That day, after finishing my duties, I returned to Shuanghua Palace.
Qiu Yue smiled and said, "Your Highness, you previously taught the Fourth Princess to recite poetry."
"The Fourth Princess mentioned that the chrysanthemum is the flower of autumn frost."
"She was quite curious and specifically asked me to pick a few branches of chrysanthemum from the Cold Palace."
I nodded, "It's thoughtful of Mu Yao."
The Cold Palace had long been abandoned.
Aside from a few Convicted Concubine, there were hardly any people around.
Even if there were, they were mostly the families of disgraced officials.
I casually picked a few branches of Chrysanthemum.
As I was preparing to return to Shuanghua Palace, I suddenly heard a faint sound of crying.
The voice was distant and seemed to belong to a child.
Qiu Yue also heard it; she tightened her grip on the sword in her hand.
In a low voice, she said, "Your Highness, I will go take a look."
I nodded.
Before long, Qiu Yue returned.
She was followed by a little girl.
The little girl had tears welling in her eyes.
In her arms, she held a small dog.
The dog was bloodied and battered.
The little girl sniffled, "Sister, who are you?"
"How did you come out of the Cold Palace?"
I glanced at Qiu Yue, who quietly reminded me:
"Your Highness, this is Eldest Princess Mu Wan."
I nodded and crouched down to gently pat Mu Wan's head.
"Why are you crying?"
Mu Wan looked at me and timidly handed me the small dog.
"This is my pet, Rou Rou."
"This morning, it accidentally bit Consort Liang."
Consort Liang was furious and ordered someone to kill Rou Rou.
I was taken aback.
Consort Liang was truly ruthless!
I quickly comforted Mu Wan, "Don't cry. I'll help you bury Rou Rou, okay?"
Mu Wan nodded through her sobs, "Okay."
I helped Mu Wan bury the little dog.
Her mood improved significantly.
She smiled sweetly and said, "Thank you, sister."
"Mu Wan will definitely repay you in the future."
I patted her head, "No need to be polite."
"The doors of Shuanghua Palace will always be open for you."
Mu Wan's eyes lit up, "Really?"
I nodded slightly. "Really."
Since then, Mu Wan often sneaked into Shuanghua Palace to play with Mu Yao and Jing An.
But the good times didn't last long.
Before long, Consort Liang discovered it.
Mu Wan didn't dare to come anymore.
Jing An privately told me that he saw injuries on Mu Wan's hands.
It looked like she had been beaten.
I frowned.
How could Consort Liang be so cruel?
After all, Mu Wan was her own daughter!
But I didn't feel comfortable asking directly.
After all, my relationship with Consort Liang wasn't good.
On the day of the Beginning of Winter, Mu Wan's maid found me.
She said that Mu Wan wanted to meet me at Guan Yue Tower.
Guan Yue Tower is located at the northernmost part of the palace.
Few people go there.
I felt a tightness in my chest.
Could something have happened to Mu Wan?
Without having time to think further, I hurried over with Qiu Yue.
