Instead of guarding against Imperial Consort Xu's sneak attacks, it was better to take the initiative to go to the Cold Palace to lie low and find a chance to counterattack.

Concubine Lu sneered. "There's a saying that goes, if the heavens want you to die, they'll definitely make it happen."

The little palace maid's pupils constricted, and she quickly lowered her head again. Thinking about what had happened in Duke Rong's Residence today, she vaguely understood Concubine Lu's scheme.
