The situation turned in an instant.
"Good!" A shout of approval rang out in everyone's ears.
The crowd saw Consort Xu De wearing a calm smile, slowly walking forward from the group, "clap clap" beginning to applaud, step by step.
The remaining servants in the Huaqing Palace started to step backwards as if some danger was approaching.
Consort Xu De was genuinely applauding Noble Consort Xue, these steps and traps, true or false, were all just to ensnare her and leave her with nowhere to go.
She thought to herself, Xue Wanjun was not one to be easily manipulated. Why else would there be all talk and no action after her arrival, looking anxious but actually doing nothing?
With such noise, she had not dealt with it discreetly. The Huaqing Palace and Huaying Hall were not far from each other, the Noble Consort had received the message early. If she had really cared, wouldn't she have arrived earlier instead of waiting until half the people were dealt with?
