Although a portion of the palace maids in Xihuo Palace were dismissed, a portion remained, all of whom had served Consort Zhen Jiang Xinyue.

Consort Zhen treated people with kindness and never imposed overly strict rules on the maids and servants, able to jest with them as well - she was an excellent mistress.

But this Consort Jiang was overbearing and treated servants like dirt, especially the old servants of Xihuo Palace, tormenting them terribly.

A few maids and eunuchs with connections to the Internal Affairs Department exchanged glances, none of them telling Consort Jiang about Consort Zhen going to the Internal Affairs Department to request items, and getting them.

They wanted to see how ridiculous Consort Jiang would look when she got slapped in the face the next day.

After feeding Concubine Li congee, the Xuanwu Emperor instructed her to rest well.

There was already a pile of memorials awaiting in Chengqian Palace that he had to process swiftly.

After all, she had just woken from a coma, and the Emperor did not wish to stay and make the exhausted Concubine Li expend energy conversing with him.

"Your Ladyship..."

After seeing off the Xuanwu Emperor, Xia He quickly returned to Concubine Li's bedside, reporting their victory: "His Majesty has demoted Consort Zhen Fangyi to Consort Zhen and exiled her to the Palace of Exile."

Concubine Li rose and walked to the bronze mirror, finding the cotton cloth wrapped around her forehead unsightly, and untied it.

The wound on her forehead was not severe at all, merely a small cut that had nearly healed after applying medicine for two days.

The surrounding redness looked frightening, but it was only a superficial injury.

"Your Ladyship!"

Xia He was terrified and quickly re-wrapped Concubine Li's forehead, looking around to ensure no maids were nearby before saying: "Your Ladyship, Imperial physician Xu said that the false wound he made for you would heal at the normal rate, so you cannot remove this bandage for a month, or else His Majesty will find out, and that would be disastrous."

It turned out the horrific wound on her forehead was fake.

Concubine Li gripped her forehead in vexation: "To get rid of that vile woman, I had to mar my face - I will never forgive her so easily."

Her indignant words made Xia He imagine the miserable days awaiting Consort Zhen in the Palace of Exile.

The Jiang Xinyue who would lead a "miserable" life lay on a chaise longue in the sunny grape trellis of the Palace of Exile.

According to the little eunuch Xiao Xuanzi, this grape trellis had been there for a long time and would bear grapes in summer that the surrounding maids and eunuchs knew were sweet, often coming to pick them.

Jiang Xinyue lamented that she had not been exiled earlier, or she could have eaten freshly picked grapes too.

However, back then she had not yet left a deep impression on the Emperor and earned his favor, so if she had been exiled, she might never have been able to leave.

Thinking of this, not eating grapes no longer seemed so regrettable.

The warm autumn sun felt wonderful, and her maid Xi Que was massaging her shoulders - she was so relaxed she could fall asleep.
