The next morning when Jiang Ming got up, the sun was already shining brightly, and Gao Heze had already gone to attend the court, specifically instructing people not to wake Jiang Ming.
Qing Ping came over to comb her hair, picking out hairpins from the box and said, "In this servant's opinion, the Emperor's favor towards the Lady is probably unmatched in the entire harem."
"Don't talk too much. This palace is not a place for you to speak casually."
She spoke in a cold tone, personally taking a hairpin and inserting it into her hair bun, then turning her head to look at herself in the mirror, adorned with pearls and jade.
Qingping was still kneeling beside her, begging for forgiveness. She found it amusing and reached out to pat Qingping's shoulder, saying, "Get up. You've been following me since before I entered the palace. Would I really do anything to you because of a few words?"
Besides, Qingping didn't say anything wrong.
Since she was crowned, Gao Heze has spent every night here with her, and has never visited any other concubines. The ministers all say that she is a calamity to the country.
A calamity to the country? Perhaps that's true.
She turned to the mirror again, lightly touching her freshly combed hair and said softly, "Accompany me to the cold official later."
Walking from Golden Orchid Palace to the Cold Palace felt like descending from the immortal realm into the mortal world. She asked Qingping to wait outside the door and took a deep breath before pushing the door open herself.
Cobwebs covered the place, and the smell of decay and ruin rushed into her nostrils, causing her to cough uncontrollably.
In the corner, Yue Jingyi lifted her head and, at the sight of Jiang Ming, her eyes suddenly transformed from dullness to intense resentment. "Jiang Ming, what are you here for? To mock me?"
"She sneered coldly and then continued with a vicious tone after a long pause, 'I used to think that I didn't harm you, so who could have possibly harmed you? I never expected that my dear sister would go to such lengths to set me up. I heard that she might not be able to conceive in the future, what a pity. But let me tell you, it's karma! Karma!'
Jiang Ming's face turned colder inch by inch. She remained silent and slowly walked to Yue Jingyi's side, then squatted down and said, 'Sister, you are still too naive. I wouldn't have inflicted so much harm on myself just to bring you down.'"
She deliberately emphasized that word heavily, and the dim light made her complexion look particularly gloomy, completely different from her usual delicate and sorrowful appearance.
"By the way, I just received a message this morning; I don't know if sister is interested in hearing it."
She intentionally paused, absentmindedly playing with a scented sachet tied around her waist with her fingers. She had been wearing it since before entering the palace, and still wore it now.
"Your sister-in-law fell ill on the way to Lingnan and eventually passed away. Your brother was heartbroken, and it seems he committed suicide by jumping off a cliff out of grief."
She finally casually revealed the cruel truth, which was like a bolt from the blue to Yue Jingyi's ears.
"How is it possible that there was no medical treatment, what illness..."
Yue Jingyi At this point, suddenly as if understanding something, she grabbed her collar tightly, "It's you! It's you who's behind this, isn't it!"
Jiang Ming He tilted his head and smiled, neither confirming nor denying.
Yue Jingyi suddenly exerted force, her heart already filled with despair, determined to die with Jiang Ming. Just then, the door was kicked open with a bang.
"Yue Jingyi! Have you no remorse, still trying to harm Mingming?" Gao Heze kicked open the door, pulled Yue Jingyi away, and embraced Jiang Ming, gently stroking her back as if comforting a frightened child.
That kick was really heavy, and it happened to hit her in the chest. She immediately coughed up blood, but still laughed almost maniacally, saying, "Jiang Ming, you will definitely face retribution!"
In Gao Heze's arms, Jiang Ming's face turned pale. He quickly turned and left with her, without looking at Yue Jingyi again.
The most heartless place is the royal family. Every woman who enters the palace at first doesn't believe it, thinking she can be an exception, different. In the end, she discovers that there are no exceptions.
Or perhaps, she just couldn't become that exception.
Yue Jingyi gently raised her hand to wipe away the blood from her lips, as if speaking to herself, saying, "Jiang Ming, I'm waiting for you, waiting for you to end up in an even worse situation than me!"
