Xuanyuan Yuxiu had never suffered this kind of grievance before. Holding her whip in hand, she ran the whole way towards Xian Consort's Yichun Palace. Xuanyuan Yuxiu's endless weeping made those who saw her rather annoyed, especially those palace maids that didn't like her.
They were certain that Xuanyuan Yuxiu must have offended someone, that's why she looked so battered.
And they certainly have never seen the Ninth Princess so battered before either.
Although the Ninth Princess didn't receive Hongjia Emperor's favor because of her temper, she was still a treasure in Xian Consort's palm. They'd once seen palace maids being caught and tormented to death by Xian Consort because they'd said bad things about Xuanyuan Yuxiu.
Xian Consort is the most ruthless one amongst the consorts. Although no one knows how she got the consort position, towards those things of the past, they've also heard some things. It's just no one would dare to bring it up front.
Xian Consort was just napping in her sleeping chamber when she heard someone report that Xuanyuan Yuxiu has come running over crying. She only has this one daughter in this lifetime; for this daughter, she was even willing to kill and start a fire.
In the beginning, it was precisely because Xuanyuan Yuning and Xuanyuan Yukai bullied Xuanyuan Yuxiu that she thought of a way to kill their consort-mother. And thus, she was able to successfully take the consort position.
"Consort-mother, you have to help me!" Xuanyuan Yuxiu, in her battered appearance, lunged towards Xian Consort.
Xian Consort, seeing her like this, spoke in heartache, "Xiu'er, how did you become like this?"
Xuanyuan Yuxiu looked to Xian Consort and told her everything that happened through tears. Xian Consort didn't really believe Xuanyuan Yuxiu's words too much. Although Xuanyuan Yuxiu's martial art skills isn't all that much, her ability with using the whip was something. If there's someone that could seize the whip at once, then that person's inner energy must be profound.
But Su Yun's daughter, Su Qingyan simply couldn't have reach that level. She was just someone who was the laughing stock of the inner palace's teatime.
"Xiu'er, are you certain it was Su Qingyan's doing?" Xian Consort looked to Xuanyuan Yuxiu and asked in astonishment. "But from what I know, that Su Qingyan is just an idiot. She can't possibly have that kind of profound inner energy."
"Does consort-mother not believe me?" Xuanyuan Yuxiu looked to Xian Consort with a pitiful look as she wiped her tears. "But everything your child has said is the truth. You have to believe me!"
"Xiu'er, it's not that consort-mother doesn't believe you." Xian Consort patted Xuanyuan Yuxiu's shoulders, "If it's really as you say it is, I will definitely avenge you during today's Dragon Gate Banquet." Xian Consort said as she clenched her fist. "Xiu'er, believe in your consort-mother."
Xuanyuan Yuxiu earnestly nodded at Xian Consort, "I naturally believe consort-mother."
Xian Consort comforted Xuanyuan Yuxiu for a while, before she finally left Yichun Palace. After Xuanyuan Yuxiu left Yichun Palace, Xian Consort made the most skilled shadow guard at her side go investigate Su Qingyan.
Qingyan knew that Xuanyuan Yuxiu would definitely go find Xian Consort. Although she had no intention of targeting Xian Consort, she was also Xuanyuan Yuning and Xuanyuan Yukai's friend now after all. A friend's enemy naturally is also her enemy.
Furthermore, their consort-mother's death that year is also related to this Xian Consort.
However she'd heard this from Murong Jingxuan, Xuanyuan Yuning and Xuanyuan Yukai doesn't know about the truth of this matter. Probably because Xuanyuan Yuzhen felt the truth was too cruel, so he couldn't bear telling them all this time.
"Qingyan, just now, you were really impressive." Luo Yixin looked to Qingyan with a smile, "Yan'er really has become different than before."
