Chapter 1449: Chapter 1449: Have you found out?

Even if she were driven out, couldn’t they just leave those things there for Qin Luoyin to fetch herself? How could they even bring them back to him?

In such a vast palace filled with countless rare treasures, would they really miss such a little bit of silver?

Upon hearing the Emperor’s command, Princess Consort Lian, although fearful in her heart, responded promptly.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will take care of the servant when I return."

What else could she say? After all, a mere maid can’t compare to her own future, right? Of course, she should be dealt with directly.

"What about Qin Luoyin’s place, should we send some more things over?" She looked up pitifully at the Emperor, attempting to stir his protective instincts.

"You need not bother, let the people from the Qin Family go, no... let them send the gifts in the name of Qin Luoyin’s birth mother," the Emperor pondered for a moment, then corrected himself.

Using anyone else’s name wouldn’t be as effective. Since Qin Luoyin was so concerned about her birth mother, let her feel her mother’s care for her daughter once again, and in doing so, motivate her to work even harder for them.

"Yes, Your Majesty. I shall follow your decree," Princess Consort Lian replied.

"Arise, it is an eyesore to see you kneeling like this," the Emperor said after finishing what he had to say, seeing that she was still on her knees.

"Thank you for Your Majesty’s grace."

Princess Consort Lian stood up from the ground, expressed her gratitude, and then looked at the Emperor.

"Your Majesty, it’s quite late, you must be tired. Allow me to..."

It was a good opportunity; she had come to the imperial study and had seemingly already displeased the Emperor. If she didn’t seek to please him now, she feared she would suffer even more from his displeasure later.

She took small, delicate steps toward the Emperor.

"If there’s nothing else, you may leave,"

But before she could finish, the Emperor interrupted her directly.

Princess Consort Lian’s face paled, and she abruptly halted in stride, biting her lip in repressed anger.

"This servant shall take her leave."

Since the Emperor had said so, there was no way she could stay; she had to leave the imperial study with barely concealed resentment.

...

Elsewhere in the harem, another palace.

"Princess Consort Lian went to the imperial study again?"

Here with the Empress, the atmosphere had completely cooled down.

Despite being the master of the harem, and still noble with daily streams of people visiting her palace and the ladies of various courts paying their respects,

Only she knew what kind of life she was living.

The faces of those who came to pay her respects, didn’t all of them bear mocking smiles? They weren’t coming to pay respects; they were clearly here to gloat.

And those people, upon leaving her presence, would turn and show fawning smiles to Princess Consort Lian. Did they really think she knew nothing?

"Yes, Your Highness," the nanny beside her responded.

Over so many days, she had given all the advice she could, but the Empress refused to listen. Over time she grew tired of advising and simply let the Empress vent out all her hatred.

"It’s true that Princess Consort Lian received summoning from the Emperor, but she happened to be paying respects at the imperial study at the time, so she stayed there for a while before leaving,"

She reported Princess Consort Lian’s whereabouts to the Empress without missing a detail.

"That seductress!"

The Empress sneered darkly, grinding the words out between her teeth.

"All she relies on is her son, Sui Zimo’s, status as a mother’s favorite. What’s so great about that! Have you found out what I asked you to inquire about?"

She looked at the nanny, demanding an answer.

"Back to Your Highness, according to the news from Princess Consort Lian’s palace, it seems that Prince Mo is not actually her biological son," the nanny whispered in a low tone.
