Nuonuo has been suffering from a cold for a long time.
Ye Li has been watching over her day and night, never taking off his clothes.
When Nuonuo was ready, Ye Li only said, "Ling'er is willful. If she had known it would be this serious, she definitely wouldn't have acted this way. Don't hold a grudge against her."
Nuonuo felt a pang of sadness; her life and death were merely a light-hearted remark about willfulness in his words.
He really loves Spiritual Consort more after all.
The Emperor is very angry about Spiritual Consort's favoritism and has been distancing himself from Spiritual Consort by spending all his time with Nuonuo.
To others, Nuonuo has replaced the Spiritual Consort and become the Emperor's new favorite.
I heard that the Emperor is drafting the decree to establish a Noble Consort today. Ye Li cornered Nuonuo, who had just come out of the Imperial Study, in a secluded corner.
Ye Li was more intimidating when he got angry than the Emperor himself; his expression was as dark as the sky before a storm, leaving Nuonuo trembling in fear.
Suppressing his anger, Ye Li asked as gently as he could, "Are you really planning to become his consort?"
Nuonuo smiled and said, "There's nothing wrong with the palace; it has everything you could want."
Ye Li gritted her teeth and replied, "What about me? What do I count as?"
Nuonuo still wore a playful smile. "You are my client. The silver charcoal has been delivered, so I owe you nothing now."
Ye Li was so angry that veins bulged on his forehead, and his fists turned white as he slammed one into the wall beside her. The bricks immediately shattered into powder, cascading down.
He wondered if his hand would hurt. Nuonuo's heart trembled for a moment, and her eyes turned red.
Every time she looked like this, with tears welling up in her eyes, it always pierced the softest part of his heart.
Ye Li's anger immediately dissipated. He took a deep breath and said calmly, "The advertisement you posted is toxic. We haven't settled this matter yet."
Nuonuo thought he was unaware of the situation. Well, it turns out he was just saving it for a crucial moment!
Nuonuo felt a bit guilty and asked, "What do you want?"
Ye Li forced a smile and replied, "It's simple. Let's do your old job one more time. After that, we'll be even."
The phrase "two clear" sounded so harsh that it made Nuonuo very sad: Ye Li ultimately chose the Spiritual Consort.
At night, in the Empress Dowager's palace, Nuonuo was dressed in night clothes. Ye Li instructed her to stuff this piece of white paper under the Empress Dowager's pillow, and the task would be considered complete.
She evaded the patrolling guards and stealthily entered the palace, slipping the paper under the Empress Dowager's pillow in one smooth motion.
Ye Li said that this paper hinted that the Spiritual Consort was destined to be a favored concubine, and the superstitious Empress Dowager would no longer trouble the Spiritual Consort after reading it.
She was about to leave when a crisp clapping sound rang out, startling the awakened empress dowager who immediately noticed the Nuonuo beside her. She screamed in shock and shouted to catch the assassin.
Before Nuonuo could escape, the rushing guards surrounded him.
The emperor and the Spiritual Consort arrived surprisingly quickly.
Taking off the "assassin's" mask, the emperor scolded with a frown, "You are mischievous again. If it weren't for me and the Spiritual Consort enjoying the moon nearby, you would have been mistaken for an assassin and pierced with holes."
Nuonuo glanced at the expressionless Ye Li behind them, feeling a cold laugh in her heart: What a coincidence.
The Empress Dowager pulled out a piece of paper from under her pillow. Under the light, the white paper gradually revealed some incantations.
These talismans seemed to have a life of their own, swiftly moving from the paper onto the Empress Dowager's hand, staining it black. The Empress Dowager fainted.
This scene was all too familiar, Nuonuo suddenly understood: from beginning to end, she was just a tool.
Spiritual Consort Embracing the Empress Dowager tightly, Nuonuo received a resounding slap: "You wretch, you dared to poison the Empress Dowager just to become a noble consort."
Nuonuo was struck, blood seeping from the corner of the mouth.
Her face immediately swelled up high. The pain in her heart far surpassed that on her face, making it hard for her to breathe, and her eyes felt like they were on fire, burning intensely.
Ye Li stopped the Spiritual Consort from delivering a second blow intended for Nuonuo, humbly saying, "Spiritual Consort, please calm down; be careful not to hurt your hand."
He then whispered, "I didn't say you could touch her, don't go too far!" His voice was filled with threat and anger.
Nuonuo offered no defense, only staring sarcastically at Ye Li's rigid profile and the fist beside him that trembled slightly from being clenched too tightly.
She suddenly laughed: she had been betrayed by the person she loved the most, and what was even more infuriating was that she, lacking in backbone, was still unwilling to expose him.
