As she met the astonished gazes of everyone present, Consort Ru appeared visibly uneasy. She blinked blankly, and it took her a half-second to regain her composure before she nervously said to Mingshu, "This concubine didn't do it on purpose. If not, this concubine will accept the punishment on the consort's behalf for this round..."

Consort Shu wanted to scheme against her, but she was not foolish.
As for passing it to Mingshu, she also had her own selfish motives. If she truly believed that the Noble Consort liked her and felt an instant connection with her, then she would be an idiot!
Are there really such naïve and sweet people in the imperial palace?
Just right, the opportunity to test them had presented itself.
She couldn't believe it, could the other party really endure this?
The expressions of everyone present were subtly changing.
