Chapter 130: Meeting the ’Eccentric’ Consort Again
Xing could not keep herself inside her room for more than three weeks and decided to take a stroll in the evening. She haven’t exercised a bit ever since she entered the harem and she felt bloated and sick and so she decided to at least take a long walk.
Since she was a Noble Consort, a bunch of maids also followed her as it is a show of her superiority for some reason, according to Hu Mei and that made Xing laugh hard. This place is always a wonder! Not having privacy is considered a status thing!
Xing felt when she was walking that this place felt similar to the Heavenly Flowers Palace for some reason. The air felt the similar way here and there.
Also there was a gut wrenching smell of blood in this place. It was actually worse than the execution ground Shengli previously brought her to. Add to the fact that there were a lot of spirits hanging around made Xing’s head ache. There were spirits of women and children, a lot of them and even babies wandering around here.
After walking for a while, Xing reached a fake pond inside the inner palace and there was a pavilion in it’s shore. But judging by the guards around there, Xing concluded the Emperor must be here and she tried to silently turn back.
The Emperor must be having tea with Consort Shu, I don’t want to disturb them!
But Xing’s attempt to leave was stopped by a honeyed, pouty voice,
" Noble Consort Huang, nice meeting you. Mind joining us?"
"Gentle Consort Shu, I didn’t mean to interrupt your time with the Emperor. Allow me to leave", Xing gave a slight bow and an elegant smile to her and another bow to the Emperor standing behind her and was very much willing to leave.
"You cannot refuse us", Consort Shu said and grabbed Xing’s hand to stop her.
