The tea party naturally didn't happen. Distressed by Noble Lady Wei's words, Mingshu developed a strong curiosity towards Consort Ru, whom she had yet to meet, and no longer had the spirit to give anyone trouble, promptly dismissing everyone from her presence.
When leaving, Noble Lady Wei appeared to be in quite a good mood.
Seeing her disheartened, Yun Zhi tried to console her by waving her fists enthusiastically, "Your Highness, don't pay any mind to that Noble Lady Wei. She's just trying to provoke you on purpose! We mustn't fall for it!"
Mingshu sighed, gazing at the distant red walls, her expression filled with melancholy, "It turns out that the fool was myself all along."
Before Yun Zhi could reply, she noticed Mingshu's eyes gleaming with a profound meaning, her tone deep and vaguely excited, "It's exhilarating just to hear something about a 'body double'!"
Yun Zhi: "..."
Perhaps she was overthinking it; after all, their mistress's mind had never been quite normal.
