At night, the Emperor rested at Noble Consort Ji's place. After dinner, he pretended to ask unintentionally.
"Did my older brother leave you anything back then?"
Noble Consort Ji shook her head and replied, "I can't remember."
The Emperor didn't ask further. He just glanced at the few drops of water that fell from the outside of the teacup and lowered his eyes.
Noble Consort Ji was a unique existence in this harem because she was almost the current Emperor's sister-in-law.
Everyone who knew about this past strongly opposed the Emperor taking Noble Consort Ji as his concubine, but he did it.
Even though the throne was unstable back then and she still had to rely on the Yan Family, he still ignored everyone's opinions and let her be the "Noble Consort Ji" who had been favored for so many years.
After the Emperor left, Noble Consort Ji sat alone for a long time. Then, she asked the nanny, "Is everything ready?"
