When the situation in the Harem shifted again, Canglan Court remained calm and peaceful.
Whether it was the exposure of the murderer who attempted on the life of the Imperial Heir, Consort Zhen being dismissed, or Noble Consort being released from confinement, and Consort Liu's critical illness, none of these stirred a single wave in Canglan Court.
At that moment, the Side Hall of Canglan Court was extremely serene, yet there was a subtle peculiarity intertwined.
Everyone was staring blankly at a bowl of soup.
After a long while, Lian Hua sat back and asked, "What do you think it smells like?"
She hadn't tried the ginseng soup yet.
Everyone shook their heads.
Lian Hua picked up the soup spoon, stirred it a bit, and leaned in to smell it: "It smells alright, why won't His Majesty drink it?"
Everyone shook their heads again.
Lian Hua gently scooped up a spoonful and looked at the color of the soup: "Could it be that the soup is too thick and murky?"
