"Cough, cough, cough..."

Xi Que pushed open the door to the room assigned to her by the eunuch and was immediately caught in a fit of coughing from the dust.

The eunuch guarding the Palace of Exile came over with a bucket of water obsequiously, "Oh dear~ Lady Xi Que, please step back, you mustn't trouble yourself with such menial tasks. This humble servant Xiao Xuanzi will clean it up right away."

Jiang Xinyue took two steps back to avoid getting her clothes soiled by the dust, for if nothing went amiss, she would be wearing this outfit for a long time.

She took a few broken silver pieces from her sleeve and gave Xiao Xuanzi a sweet smile, "Xiao Xuanzi, you give me too much credit. We are both servants attending to our master. There is no high or low, noble or base. Thank you for your hard work. Let us quickly clean up so our master may move in!"

Xiao Xuanzi was stunned as he accepted the reward, and under Jiang Xinyue's gentle smile, he joined Xi Que in cleaning the room.

To be honest, he only tried to curry favor with Consort Zhen in front of the various imperial consorts to gain some benefits.

He had expected the ladies demoted to the Palace of Exile to arrive haughty and arrogant, looking down upon him at first.

They would either beat him, scold him, or verbally abuse him as a dog of a servant, which he was long accustomed to.

In the end, those ladies would either go mad or die, kneeling at his feet begging him to seek the Emperor's pardon.

He had seen all manner of human nature.

But never before had a lady treated him with such evenness, gentleness, and warmth as Consort Zhen.

Even her palace maids were courteous, showing no disdain for him as a eunuch of the Palace of Exile.

Now he understood why even the Empress and other consorts had come to bid farewell to Consort Zhen.

Who would not adore such a disposition?

There was little to clean, just some dusting and sweeping.

The rooms of the Palace of Exile were bare, containing only a bed, a table, and two stools.

The bed was nothing but bare boards with not even proper bedding.

Xiao Xuanzi laughed awkwardly, "My lady, the Internal Affairs Department rarely sends provisions to the Palace of Exile, maybe two or three times a year..."

In other words, the provisions meant for the Palace of Exile were likely being pocketed by corrupt officials.

Jiang Xinyue nodded, "Then please trouble Xiao Xuanzi to make another trip to the Internal Affairs Department. I will have Xi Que write you a list of what I need. Do you have any paper and ink?"

"Yes, yes, yes..."

Xiao Xuanzi did not expect the Internal Affairs Department to provide, but he clung to a slim hope.

What if they did?

Then he would have done a service for Consort Zhen.

At Changxin Palace—

In the evening, Concubine Li indeed came down with a high fever. The Xuanwu Emperor personally wiped the sweat from her brow, attending to her until late into the night before her condition finally improved.
