Ming Liu was just about to think of a way to comfort her, when she suddenly heard Bi Tao speaking up.

”I'm afraid …” Change it! ” Ming Liu originally did not have the heart to scare others anymore, but after hearing the question from Jade Peach, he could only tell her the truth. Originally, besides Ying He and me, there were two other first-rate girls by the prince's side. However, they were all chased out of the palace because they offended Zhuo Tao. Amongst them, Peach Blossom only left because she was unwilling to change Zhuo Tao's name! At that time, Zhuo Tao was still young, and her highness was still in the palace.

Seeing that Ming Liu had lowered her voice, she started to yawn, causing Qin Nuo to move slightly. Being a loyal listener was also very tiring. She was so engrossed in listening that she forgot to exercise!

The moment Qin Nuo moved, Jade Peaches quickly came forward.

”Is Miss tired?”

”Not bad!” ”Qin Nuo replied lightly and smiled towards Ming Liu. It's getting late, you go rest! Let the others rest as well. I brought Peaches with me. I won't let her change her name. If you feel uncomfortable from the bottom of your heart, then just let Zhuo Tao change it! ”

After Ming Liu heard this, her eyes immediately lit up, not concealing the admiration she felt for Qin Nuo. So it turned out that when Empress did not make a sound, it was not because she was afraid of Zhuo Tao, but because she had her own plans!

It's just that, before the Prince has returned, Empress has already instructed everyone to rest. Is it really alright?

”Empress, should we wait for Your Highness to come back?” Ming Liu asked carefully.

”No need! Could it be that if he doesn't come back tonight, everyone will stay up all night? ” Qin Nuo looked at Ming Liu with a beaming smile. What if he stays with this concubine today, and again with that lateral consort tomorrow? ”

”About that, esteemed …” Ming Liu stammered, and unknowingly, she had started to defend their Duke. Although there are many concubines in the palace, there are no lateral consort s … ”

Fine! It was enough to have many concubines! If there were any more lateral consort s … Ming Liu's heart was already starting to feel unsettled about Empress, her voice was getting softer and softer, and she had no confidence at all.

”Don't worry!” Qin Nuo didn't seem to be able to tell that Ming Liu had already become her loyal fan. She would be happy and sad for her, smiling indifferently. The lateral consort! It's going to be here soon! ”

”This king's consort is indeed very virtuous, to be in such a hurry to give this king a lateral consort!” Ling Yexuan's voice was cold, while he was speaking, he had already walked in.

Qin Nuo and Peaches immediately looked at each other, a hint of panic appearing in each other's eyes. What? They were talking in the house, could anyone outside hear them? Even if they had purposely lowered their voices just now, wouldn't it have spread outside?

”Ming Liu, were you always guarding outside the door?” Qin Nuo asked Ling Yexuan anxiously. She was anxious to clarify this matter so she could not care less about leaving Ling Yexuan.

Just as Ming Liu was paying her respects to the Duke along with the peaches, she heard Empress suddenly ask about it and quickly turned back to Qin Nuo.

”In reply to the Empress, this servant has always been guarding the door.”

Although Qin Nuo saw that Ming Liu had turned around in a hurry, she did not look flustered at all. A monstrous genius' inner strength is strong, and his hearing is better than the others'. But why was he looking at her like that? Did he want her to give him a gift?

Qin Nuo quickly went through all the Qing Dynasty's etiquette in her mind. She had wanted to look very knowledgeable and like a lady from a noble family. Then she thought, who knew what kind of rules Beiden had, she better not use the wrong set of meals! Thus, she casually nodded at Ling Yexuan.

”Prince is back. Is the Jing Clan's Second Miss alright?”

Ling Yexuan was startled, he stared at Qin Nuo and squinted her eyes dangerously. He had just returned, and there was no one else in the Palace who knew about Shu Yi cutting her wrist. How did she know?

”You two, get out!” Ling Yexuan shouted. He realised that Ming Liu was becoming more and more blind, as though from the moment the woman kicked Zhuo Tao, he had automatically turned around and become her person!

Suppressing the sense of defeat in his heart, Ling Yexuan continued to stare at Qin Nuo tightly. Her voice was as low as the dark clouds before the arrival of a storm, bringing with it a strong sense of oppression.

”How do you know that something happened to Shu Yi?”
