138 Many Mysteries

Rumours about the Noble Consort and the Emperor spread fast like wildfire but none of the two parties met again after that.

Xing could not get any news about Shengli and Lin Mubai didn't give her any reports on the investigations she asked him to conduct and Xing just spent her days meeting Lord Zhong in the morning and just reading books rest of the time.

Xing's status in the harem was already high as she was a High ranking Consort, the only Consort in the Harem with a powerful family backup.

Not to mention, her father is Huang AoTian!

Also, the fact that she was allowed to break the rules and leave the inner palace was known to everyone. Eunuch Xin got scolded by the Emperor for abiding by the rules and the Noble Consort even visited the Ministry of war to have a chat with Lord Zhong that day and no one stopped her or even educated her. Even so, the Emperor visited her a couple of days later and stayed the whole night with her and had left in a good mood.
