The Empress saw Consort Xi's grimace through her tear-filled eyes.
Her head buzzed:
"Consort Xi!"
Yun Jiao's grimace was exceedingly skillful.
She wasn't going for cuteness, she was blatantly wrinkling her nose at the Empress. As an aristocrat from a prestigious family, the Empress had never encountered such brazen behavior. Immediately, she was so infuriated that she lunged forward and couldn't help but lose her voice in a roar. At her roar, Yun Jiao quickly rolled her eyes and shut them, pretending to faint.
At that moment, Snow Bud and Gong Mei broke free from the palace maids of Jianzhang Palace, crying as they rushed out and knelt on the ground: "Mistress, Mistress was frightened into a faint by the Empress!"
The Empress was dumbfounded.
She was certain she saw Consort Xi roll her eyes at her; she saw it plain and clear!
How could such a vile person exist!?
