Early in the morning, the Fengyi Palace looked solemn and dignified.
After Empress Du woke up in the morning to eat, a guest came uninvited.
Princess Consort Guang wore extremely simple clothes and greeted the Empress.
In the past, she had always loved gold, silver, and jewelry. Now that Prince
Guang’s noble title had been stripped away, she also looked a lot more haggard.
She was clearly only two years younger than the Empress, but she looked much older than the Empress.
“Madam Tao, you may rise.” Empress Du’s expression was gentle and her tone was indifferent.
Now that her husband had been stripped of his position, the princess consort could no longer be addressed as princess consort Guang. sne could only be addressed by her surname.

Madam Tao stood up. After she took a seat, she wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief and started to sob.
However, even after crying for a long time, the Empress didn’t ask her what was going on.
Madam Tao couldn’t help but raise her eyes and secretly take a look behind the handkerchief.
Empress Du was reading a book with great interest!
She didn’t seem to be affected by her cries at all.
Madam Tao couldn’t help but stop crying.
Empress Du didn’t hear any crying sounds for a long time and even looked up.
“Why aren’t you crying anymore? Did the sound of me flipping through a book disturb you? Hurry up and cry. There’s no one else here, and I won’t tell anyone.”
After saying that, she even smiled gently and generously before lowering her head to continue reading.
Madam Tao couldn’t hide the embarrassment on her face!
Since the Empress didn’t fall for this, she could only cut to the chase.
“Your Majesty, you must have heard of what this commoner has been through these past few days. Now, this commoner has nothing left but my life.”
“I’m afraid it won’t be long before His Majesty chases my husband, my children, and me out of the palace. Before we leave, I thought of how gentle and patient you are and especially came to remind you of a few things.”
Empress Du placed the book on her legs and the jade bangle swayed on her fair wrist.
She looked up and asked, “Go on, I’m listening.”
“Your Majesty should have heard of it. Previously, His Majesty brought the noble consort out of the palace to visit incognito and even encountered someone in the chess hall spreading rumors and causing trouble.”
The Empress nodded.
Madam Tao then said, “His Majesty’s doting on the Noble Consort has already reached this extent. Your Majesty, we’re both women, Prince… my husband also had a few beautiful concubines in the past.
“However, this commoner will never let them overstep their boundaries. A concubine is a concubine. Once they become the most important person in a man’s heart, then the wife’s status will also be in danger.”
After Madam Tao finished speaking, she silently sized up the Empress’s expression.
Empress Du still had a warm and indifferent expression. It was impossible to tell if she was happy or angry.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMadam Tao came to sow discord between Noble Consort Qiao and Empress Du because she was certain that Noble Consort Qiao was too doted on.
As the main wife and the head of the harem, could it be that the Empress was really as close to the noble consort as the rumors said?!
Madam Tao thought that that might not be the case.
Empress Du didn’t say anything for a long time and only looked at Madam Tao fixedly.
It made her hair stand on end.
Madam Tao couldn’t help but probe, “Your Majesty?”
Only then did Empress Du seem to come back to her senses. She smiled. “Are you done?”
Madam Tao was speechless.
“This commoner is speaking sincerely at the risk of offending the noble consort. Please think about it carefully, Your Majesty!”
Empress Du smiled. “Madam Tao, there are some things you might not know since you’re an outsider.”
She blinked mysteriously. “Before Noble Consort Qiao and His Majesty left the palace, they also came to ask me if I wanted to go and take a walk and relax.”
Madam Tao was stunned.
What?
Empress Du chuckled. “I’ve always liked peace and quiet, so I naturally didn’t go. However, Noble Consort Qiao even asked Consort Yi, Consort Lan, Consort MO, and the others.. Could it be that in your eyes, this is also Noble Consort
Qiao’s way of winning His Majesty over?”
