"Lady Xia! Just you wait and see!"
Consort Yun stormed off in a fury!
Xia Ruqing also lost her interest and, with a heavy heart, instructed Xiao Xizi to clean up the mess on the ground before heading back to Zhaohua Pavilion.
Zi Yue looked somewhat worried.
"My lady, by angering Consort Yun, could it be that we will..."
"When have I ever angered her!" retorted Xia Ruqing with a pout.
She felt so wronged!
What had she done wrong? The flowers she had carefully picked had been smashed to the ground by someone!
Don't even mention that nonsense about 'taking a step back for a boundless future.'
In the palace, a step back is a cliff.
When others are already defecating and urinating on your head, and you're still retreating, when will enough be enough?
"That may be true, but when all is said and done, we're still the ones at a loss!"
"Even if Consort Yun can't do anything to us for now, she will certainly not let the matter rest!"
Xia Ruqing wasn't that worried, however.
