The visitor was none other than Consort Guo, who was on the verge of giving birth.
When Jiang Xian heard that it was Consort Guo visiting Bihua Palace, a look of surprise crossed her face. "I thought for sure it would be Lu Ronghua." 'Doing something that offered no benefit, offended others, and only served to satisfy a sharp tongue… that was Lu Ronghua's style.'
"After Lu Ronghua learned of your promotion to Zhaoyi, she claimed to be ill and has shut herself away,"
Chen Changzai, who went to Jianzhang Palace daily to pay her respects, had picked up some gossip. "The Lady said that Lu Ronghua's illness might be one she never recovers from."
Mian Xia asked, "Should we send her away?"
But Jiang Xian said there was no need.
'She was going so stir-crazy from this postpartum confinement that she was more than willing to have someone to talk to.'
'If Consort Guo was here to cause trouble, Jiang Xian was confident she could send her away feeling even worse.'
