The Prime Minister’s Darling

She was supposed to be a lady of the Marquis' mansion but became a farmer's daughter due to a mix-up at birth. After painstakingly growing up into a beautiful and graceful lady, nobody came to propose to her. Many said she was ugly and mentally challenged or a cursed child who brought misfortune to her parents. But her husband, whom she picked up along the way, was actually the future Prime Minister. The little monk she adopted on the mountain was one of the six Divine Generals. Even the old lady she rescued without much thought turned out to be the current Empress. A certain man said fiercely, "Dear, I'll deal with anyone who dares to bully you!" The Divine General said, "Sister, just tell me whichever territory of the six kingdoms you want. I'll conquer it for you!" The Empress said, "The Emperor bullied my darling? Just wait! I'll depose him right away!"

338 Affection (Third Watch of the Night)

The matter of Grand Consort Jing was so significant that in but a day, everyone in the royal court knew of the two attempts on her life.

"Who do you think... could have done it?"

In a corner of the royal court, a group of minor maids and eunuchs gathered, speculating quietly on the issue of Grand Consort Jing.

"Who else could it be? Think about who in the entire palace would be least happy to see Consort Jing return?"

"Could it be the Grand... of Renshou palace?"

"Hush! Lower your voice! Do you want to be beheaded? Don't even mention her title, bury it deep in your heart and don't even dream about it! Otherwise, you'll be waiting for your head to be chopped off! There have been hundreds, if not thousands of maids and eunuchs who died at her hands."

"This brutish?"

The new palace maid was terrified.

Not only the maids and eunuchs thought so, even her Majesty's own niece, Consort Zhuang, believed that the serial attempts on Consort Jing's life were orchestrated by her aunt.
