The Female Psychology PhD Who Time Traveled to the Royal Harem-Chapter 135: Responsible for Going Crazy
Chapter 135
What about Noble Consort Ye?
She was drenched from head to toe in sewage, as if a martial arts master had struck her acupuncture points, freezing her at the entrance of Hexi Palace, even her breathing stopped.
Xiao Xuanzi quickly waved his hand, and the young eunuchs behind him swiftly retreated, slamming the main door shut with a "bang."
"Hurry and go take a bath and change clothes, it stinks so badly. In a while, our palace will be uninhabitable."
The young eunuchs scurried to their quarters, fearing that if they were too slow, the stench would permeate them, and they wouldn't be able to serve their mistresses anymore. Even if they washed thoroughly, Xi Que and Shuang Jiang wouldn't allow them near their mistress for a short while.
"Ahhhhhhh... ugh... ugh... ahhhhhhh..."
Piercing screams shook the heavens, and that "fragrance wafting for miles" scent made the Xuanwu Emperor, who had originally heard that Noble Consort Ye had come to Hexi Palace to cause trouble and thought he finally had a chance to show off, quickly turn around and run towards Chengqian Palace.
He couldn't let Noble Consort Ye see him, otherwise, she'd grab him to uphold justice, and he'd rather lose his hand than deal with that.
Wang Dequan followed closely behind the Emperor, both rushing back to the palace at lightning speed, quickly ordering the eunuchs to close the palace gates.
This place was too close to Hexi Palace. What if that unreasonable Noble Consort Ye came here looking for the Emperor... freewebnσvel.cѳm
Ugh...
Wang Dequan recalled the glimpse he caught of those sewage-covered people and shuddered all over. Concubine Zhen was truly ruthless; this was even worse than killing Noble Consort Ye!
At this moment, Noble Consort Ye, with her head covered in excrement, was so overwhelmed by the overpowering stench that tears streamed down her face, yet she couldn't open her eyes. She dared not open her mouth, fearing that if she did, those disgusting things would flow into it, but she couldn't help screaming and retching.
It was too disgusting, too disgusting... She had never felt so repulsed before.
She wished she could cut off her own head and wash it clean.
"Hahahahaha..."
Xi Que, hiding behind the door and peeking, laughed uncontrollably, "Let her spew filth from her mouth again. This time, we've let her experience what it feels like to be sprayed by herself."
Shuang Jiang was a bit more restrained but still chuckled while covering her mouth.
Jiang Xinyue had done something so earth-shattering, so ghostly and godly, making the entire harem tremble at the mention of her name. Yet, she acted as if nothing had happened, eating and drinking as usual. Her biggest goal now was to nourish the child in her belly and give birth to a healthy baby.
Because of this manure-throwing feat, all the concubines in the harem who had been eyeing Concubine Zhen warily extinguished their flames.
Who would dare to cause her trouble now?
Even if they weren't doused with a body full of sewage... well... it probably wouldn't end well for them either.
Even Consort Liang secretly reminded herself that the next time she saw Concubine Zhen, she couldn't be so quick with her sharp tongue anymore.
What if... ugh...
She couldn't think about it, absolutely couldn't. That scene was too vivid; even thinking about it a little made her want to vomit.
Now she just regretted it, regretted it deeply.
Noble Consort Ye was living in the side hall of her Shunan Palace!
When she returned to Shunan Palace with two sewage-covered palace maids, Consort Liang quickly closed all the doors on her side tightly, making sure not a whiff of the smell could drift in.
But Shunan Palace, while not small, wasn't particularly large either.
Three such large walking sewage people, making such a commotion, bathing and changing water and throwing away clothes, Consort Liang felt as if she herself had become smelly.
What was even more tragic was that Consort Liang felt the Emperor would soon know about this matter. Would the Emperor end up despising her as well?
She had really brought trouble upon herself.
Although the Emperor hadn't been in the mood to favor the harem recently, he had removed Noble Consort Ye's green tablet, meaning he didn't want to see her for at least half a year.
"It was Consort Liang who told Noble Consort Ye during the morning greetings at Yikun Palace."
"Consort Liang and her foul mouth, I think she's the one who needs a good washing."
Like a gossiping shrew, she just had to go and stir things up. Now, General Ye would come to cause him trouble again for his daughter's sake.
To be precise, he would come to cause trouble for Concubine Zhen.
But what did any of this have to do with the beautiful, gentle, elegant, virtuous, and stunningly gorgeous Jiang Xinyue?
She was just responsible for going crazy; the Xuanwu Emperor had to clean up after her.
Indeed, after going crazy, one feels refreshed and invigorated.
Jiang Xinyue, wearing a thick fox fur coat, looked at the dark sky outside and the howling, bone-chilling wind: "It's not going to snow, is it?"
Xi Que brought over some warmed milk and told her about recent events: "Noble Consort Ye took a bath for a full two hours when she returned. It's said that even after washing for five days, she still felt she smelled awful and couldn't stop vomiting. The day before yesterday, she finally fell ill. The imperial physician said she caught a cold and had a high fever, nearly losing half her life."
"Serves her right!"
Shuang Jiang spat viciously: "Our mistress never provoked her, yet she came to cause trouble for our mistress several times, even daring to curse the imperial child. It would be karmic retribution if she died."
Such a vicious, venomous woman who wouldn't even spare an innocent baby should best not live to see tomorrow's sun.
Nanny Li shook her head: "You may have enjoyed throwing the sewage, but the Emperor is in a difficult position. General Ye came to the palace, demanding our mistress kneel at the door of Shunan Palace's side hall to apologize with a birch branch on her back. The Emperor refused, so General Ye knelt outside the imperial study and wouldn't get up. Several officials are kneeling with him. Mistress... if this continues, there will be gossip about you outside the palace."
Although she spoke up for the scoundrel Emperor, in the end, she was still concerned about Jiang Xinyue's reputation. Nanny Li had always been a staunch supporter of the Emperor, and for her to say this, Jiang Xinyue felt she was already quite good. Indeed, spending time together does breed affection.
Of course, except for the scoundrel Emperor; he develops feelings for whoever he's with.
"What gossip will they spread about me?"
Nanny Li didn't dare to say, but Jiang Xinyue knew very well. It was nothing more than calling her a bewitching concubine abusing the Emperor's favor and such. She had heard it all before; it had no impact on her.
Let's put it this way...
Since ancient times, a harem concubine without some controversy surrounding her wouldn't dare call herself a favored concubine.

It's good that people curse her!
People cursing her means she has succeeded.
Xi Que pouted unhappily: "Noble Consort Ye is only good at being born into the right family. The Emperor still needs General Ye to defend against foreign enemies. Otherwise, given her performance since entering the palace, the Emperor would have chopped off her head long ago."
That's why they say being born into the right family is also a skill.
"We can't call her Noble Consort Ye anymore now."
Nanny Xiang walked in from outside. Fearing the cold air might affect Jiang Xinyue, she first took off her own cloak before joining the group to gossip: "The Emperor just issued a decree promoting Noble Consort Ye's rank. Now we have to call her Consort Ye."
Jiang Chuan widened her eyes: "What our mistress threw wasn't night soil at all! This was clearly giving Consort Ye a ladder to ascend to heaven!"
"Hahahahaha..."
Everyone burst into laughter.
So what if she was promoted to Consort? She was still beneath their mistress. If she dared to be so arrogant again, not knowing her place, they'd teach her another lesson. She had to learn her lesson eventually.
Once she learned her lesson, it would be fine. She would know that their mistress was not to be trifled with.
