Chapter 911 Mutual Degradation!
The next day, the Imperial Garden of the palace was naturally exceptionally lively.
As the Empress, Mu Xin Nuan would not go to the Imperial Garden early in the morning even if she had nothing to do.
If she wanted to, even without showing her face, those women and young ladies wouldn't dare utter a single word.
This is the greatest benefit that power can bring.
But they can bully people at will without worrying about being criticized.
In fact, ever since Mu Xin Nuan married Duanmu Chu Ze, whether she was a princess, a crown princess, or now an empress, she has never thought of using her power to oppress others.
However, some people just couldn't stand to see her doing well and insisted on making things difficult for her at every turn. Since that was the case, she would just let them have their way.
Consort Luo and Princess Nali walked together, while Princess Ming and Princess Su sat in the pavilion, chatting idly.
At their age, they naturally don't have the same amazement and love for flowers and plants as young people do.
"Oh my, the Crown Princess has become even more radiant and beautiful since I last saw her. No wonder people say that a woman has a unique charm after having a child."
A woman was praising the Crown Prince's wife loudly, but to Consort Luo and Princess Nali, her words sounded so grating.
Keep in mind that neither of them had children.
Upon hearing this, Princess Nali naturally glared at Consort Luo.
Now that Consort Luo is old and her beauty has faded, she is naturally not as beautiful as Princess Nali.
Almost everyone in the Ming Prince's Mansion knew that, apart from staying with the Ming Princess, the Prince also stayed in the courtyard of the young and beautiful Princess Nali.
However, the King clearly held his queen in higher esteem.
Nali never intended to replace Princess Ming, but she simply couldn't stand the sight of Consort Luo.
"Hey, what kind of flower is that over there?"
Princess Nali heard someone exclaim in surprise and looked over. It turned out to be a cluster of purple flowers blooming not far from the lotus pond.
Perhaps it is because this color is extremely rare in spring that it is so amazing.
"Sister Luo, the Princess and Aunt Wang are having a pleasant chat. Let's go for a walk ahead."
Consort Luo originally didn't want to pay attention to Princess Nali, but since they were in the palace and so many eyes were watching, and besides, Nali's voice hadn't been low, if she refused, wouldn't she be branded as bullying a foreign princess?
The two walked slowly side by side along the lotus pond.
Consort Luo was on the inside, and Nali was on the outside. She did this simply to guard against any tricks Nali might play.
Of course, Consort Luo didn't really care about Nali.
During her time at the Prince Ming's residence, Nali had only managed to gain the Prince's favor by virtue of her beauty.
When it comes to scheming and cunning, Consort Luo believes she is second to none. This includes Mu Xin Nuan.
The two walked and talked.
"I heard that the Crown Prince is quite popular at the border. Sister Luo, I heard that your third son once had the title of Prince, but the Emperor later thought he was too young and took it back?"
This matter has always been a source of anxiety for Consort Luo, and it is her Achilles' heel that no one can touch.
"Princess Nali, what do you mean by this? What good will it do you to reopen my wounds in this palace?"
Unexpectedly, Princess Nali covered her mouth and chuckled, "Sister Luo is overthinking it. What good would it do me? It just makes me feel good to see you unhappy."
Consort Luo was furious, but with so many people around, she couldn't vent her anger.
“Princess Nali, I advise you to open your eyes. The real threat to you is Princess Ming, not me.”
"You mean the Princess Consort? Heh, she's the Princess Consort, and now she has the Crown Prince by her side. She wouldn't make trouble for a mere concubine like me, wouldn't you say, Concubine Luo?"
Princess Nali considered herself merely a minor concubine, unworthy of the Queen's attention, yet she was still addressed as Concubine Luo, clearly a reminder to her to be mindful of her status.
In terms of rank, this Consort Luo is even below Princess Nali!
"Princess Nali, don't think that just because you have the Prince's favor, you can do whatever you want. Let me tell you, the only person the Prince has ever truly cared about is the Princess!"
"Really? Wasn't it said that before I entered the manor, you were the prince's most favored person?"
The mere mention of this made Consort Luo so angry she wanted to grit her teeth.
"That's just what you see on the surface. The prince only visited me more often because he was considerate of the princess's frail health."
"Really? How interesting. Consort Luo, tell me, was my child, whom you caused to die, a boy or a girl?"
"What do you mean by this?" Consort Luo's expression changed; she felt that Princess Nali was acting strangely today.
"It means exactly what it says! What? Consort Luo has forgotten? You, who have harmed others, of course you can forget. But I, the victim, dream of my poor child every night."
Princess Nali spoke with a touch of melancholy, yet her smile only grew brighter and more captivating.
To anyone else, this scene would appear as if the sisters were having a pleasant conversation.
"Do you know? That day, I overheard the conversation between the imperial physician and the prince. Only then did I realize that because I mistakenly ingested an excessive amount of safflower, I have had a very difficult life in terms of having children. Sister Luo, how can you be so heartless?"
Consort Luo was startled by the hatred in her eyes and took a step back.
My body touched the jade railing, and I felt a bone-chilling cold.
"You couldn't bear a son yourself, so you killed your own niece and stole her child. Now that you see I'm favored, you've drugged me, causing me to lose my child and never be able to have another one in my life. Consort Luo, how can you be so heartless?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Consort Luo didn't dare to shout, but just stared at her with a hint of fear.
A strange glint flashed in Princess Nali's eyes. "Tell me, if I push you, will you fall in like this? Heh, you should know that I know a little about martial arts, right? The strength of us grassland women is something you can't compare to."
"What do you think you're doing? This is the palace, Nali. I'm warning you, don't do anything reckless!"
"When you killed my child, did you never think I would do something reckless? Now you're warning me? Humph! Consort Luo, what gives you the right? Anyway, everyone is far away now, even if I push you down, no one will be able to save you in time."
As soon as Princess Nali finished speaking, she reached out and pushed Consort Luo!
