A master said that only someone can take the poison from the Empress Dowager and then rest in bed for many days before recovering. Spiritual Consort stepped forward and did just that.
The empress dowager was moved and allowed her elder brother to recognize Spiritual Consort as his adopted daughter. With the addition of a powerful natal family for Spiritual Consort, the path to becoming a noble consort was finally cleared, and the influence of the empress dowager's family grew stronger.
The edict promoting Spiritual Consort to noble consort was issued exceptionally quickly, as if it had been prepared in advance, which was truly unexpected.
When the court lady who brought her meals spoke, the Nuonuo, who was confined in the cold palace, was counting the money that the emperor had rewarded her with.
In fact, the emperor has always treated her as a military adviser, and the edict to establish the noble consort was originally intended for the Spiritual Consort.
Ye Li, unaware of the situation, took the initiative to use this clever strategy that achieved four goals at once.
Now that the Spiritual Consort's position is secure, Nuonuo's path to staying in the palace has been cut off. This not only alleviates long-term worries but also resolves immediate concerns; it truly is a brilliant plan.
Today's dish is actually her favorite, shredded chicken. It must have been bought by Ye Li from outside the palace.
However, Nuonuo finds it bitter and unbearable, unable to swallow it.
She threw the chicken leg and murmured, "You put in so much effort just to push the woman you love into someone else's arms. You're really not a man."
After saying that, she scolded herself again: Who am I to criticize him? After being locked up for so many days, Ye Li hasn't come to see me even once, yet I'm still standing up for him.
At night, the Emperor was in the study reviewing memorials when he suddenly noticed someone had appeared beside the table. Looking up, he was surprised to see Nuonuo.
Ye Li's ears were sharper than those of ordinary people; while the other guards were still unaware of what was happening, he had already rushed in.
He knew that the walls couldn't contain Nuonuo, he was just betting that she liked him and was willing to stay in the palace with him.
After not seeing her for many days, Nuonuo looked much thinner, even her chin had become pointed. His heart felt like it had been pricked hard, causing him to furrow his brow in pain.
Nuonuo "Drooping her head, the commoner girl said, 'I've come to resign to Your Majesty. There's money in the palace but nowhere to spend it, and it's so uncomfortable.'"
The Emperor laughed heartily, "This is an easy fix. Tomorrow, I'll take you out of the palace to go shopping, buy whatever you want."
Spiritual Consort Entering from the doorway: "I want to go too."
Nuonuo Chuckling in the dark: This jealous person indeed has informants in the study, they came so quickly.
Ye Li, who had been silently watching Nuonuo, respectfully said, "With this servant's protection, Your Majesty need not worry."
Nuonuo sneered: As expected, with the Spiritual Consort gone, he would inevitably follow. With him, the biggest gang leader and assassin at his side, who could they possibly fear?
Once on the street, Nuonuo seemed to come alive like it had been injected with chicken blood, and whatever she wanted, the emperor would truly give her. Ling'er naturally refused to fall behind, and the two of them seemed to be not buying but fighting over something.
"Boss, how much is this cloth?"
"Two silver coins!"
"Alright, I'll give you two taels for each tael, I'll take them all."
In less than a quarter of an hour, all the shops knew that four foolish people with plenty of money had arrived, and they all changed their signs and hiked up their prices.
Nuonuo bought a cart specifically to carry her and Spiritual Consort's belongings.
Ye Li rubbed his forehead, feeling both amused and exasperated.
The emperor has completely lost his mind, only knowing how to give money.
Even more silver cannot compare to two crazy women.
He hadn't even walked half a street before he was completely broke.
His spirit talisman, fan pendant, golden crown, and Ye Li's knife had all been pawned.
Finally, Nuonuo held the Emperor at the pawnshop and sent Ye Li back to get money.
As Ye Li was leaving, Nuonuo followed him outside and gently smiled, calling out to him.
Ye Li raised the corners of his mouth, a look of affection in his eyes.
Before he could say anything, Nuonuo patted his chest and said, "Bring back more silver."
Looking at the cheerful departure of Nuonuo and Spiritual Consort, the emperor shivered with fear: Can he really dare to keep both of these women by his side? After all, he is the ruler of the country. How could it be that in just half a day, he was stripped of his clothes and pawned at a pawnshop?
Nuonuo and Spiritual Consort entered the powder shop.
Before long, the unconscious Spiritual Consort was helped out by Nuonuo and placed in the carriage.
Ye Li's infatuation with the Spiritual Consort was evident even to the Emperor, who likely would take action soon. Therefore, she was determined to help Ye Li take the Spiritual Consort away to fulfill his wish.
She planned to place the Spiritual Consort at the entrance of Night Shard Manor, then sell off the entire cart of goods and find a place to live in obscurity for the rest of her life.
