Cai Xia seemed to hear the difference in the Noble Consort's tone, and her own voice grew louder, "Yes, this servant obeys the order."
Saying this, she walked out spiritedly.
She knew this old ginseng was extremely precious; normally, Consort treated it with great care, and now there wasn't much left. But for His Majesty, Consort would spare no expense, her sincere devotion to his well-being clear as day and night.
Noble Consort Xue stepped out of the inner chamber slowly, her imposing manner almost fully restored.
With a lift of her phoenix eyes, she exuded authority and said indifferently, "How is Consort Zhen now?"
Cai Qin bowed her head and replied, "Reporting to Consort, Consort Zhen has been stripped of her concubine rank and sent to Hetai Temple."
The Noble Consort snorted coldly, "She got off easy."
That wretch would have tasted the bitterness of betrayal had she been thrown into the Cold Palace.
Cai Qin remained silent, simply standing by the side.
