Noble Consort Liu's ordeal in the teahouse, naturally, was unknown to common folk. However, some privileged individuals were aware of it. Take Mo Jingli, for example. News of Noble Consort Liu's embarrassing exit from the teahouse had already reached what used to be Prince Li's Mansion, now the Regent Prince's Mansion. To be fair, even though Mo Jingli wasn't very likable, he was significantly more personable than Mo Jingqi. Over the years, Mo Jingqi's suppression of the imperial princes and relatives had been relentless, leaving them rather indifferent towards him. Even though everyone knew Mo Jingqi's illness must have something to do with Mo Jingli, no one had ever spoken a word in Mo Jingqi's defense. On the other hand, ever since Mo Jingli assumed the role of Regent Prince, he had been courteous towards these kinsmen, which significantly improved his relationship with them.
