The Princess Consort Has A Lethal Destiny - Chapter 708

Chapter 708: Too Embarrassed to See Anyone
Dong Xiyun knew when to advance and when to retreat. At this moment, she knew that she did not have the upper hand, so she immediately rushed toward Xie Qiao’s direction and resolutely bowed.

Then, she buried her head on the ground and stayed there, as if she was waiting for Xie Qiao to forgive her.

Her behavior was very sincere.

Even Fang Muxue and the others were shocked.

This bow had completely thrown away Dong Xiyun’s dignity. How would she be willing?

She had always looked down on the students from the Orchid Courtyard. Now that she was bowing to Xie Qiao, she was really going all out!

However, what could Dong Xiyun do if she did not go all out?

They were not in the academy now.

If she made mistakes again and again in front of the Empress and Imperial Concubine Meng, the consequence was not something she could bear.

It was just lowering her head. She could do it.

Nonetheless, she would take revenge for this.

Xie Qiao wanted to be the Princess Consort and suppress her in every way? That was impossible!

Dong Xiyun did not get up. Xie Qiao suddenly coughed twice, and then her small face turned pale. She was a little weak, and she took time to smooth her tone as if she did not see the person kneeling in front of her.

“Your Majesty, today, my sister and I were scared… by those flowers… We’re uncomfortable… We’re terrified. Can we take our leave first?” Xie Qiao ignored Dong Xiyun and asked the Empress gently.

The Empress understood her very well.

Not to mention Xie Qiao, even she and Imperial Concubine Meng could not get up at this moment.

Looking at the young ladies who came to admire the flowers today, each and every one of them was obviously scared.

“I heard that your health is not very good and that you are now frightened. Bring your sister home to rest as soon as possible. Also… I’ll send an imperial physician over in a while. The spirit calming soup that I drink often is pretty good. Ask the imperial physician to prescribe it for you based on your body’s condition.” The Empress was very considerate.

Overall, she was quite satisfied with this daughter-in-law.

She was good-looking and had a good personality. She was quiet, but she was not foolish.

Most importantly, her son liked her.

If she really had a weakness, it would be that her health was lacking. She was not sure if she could nurse her back to health. She hoped that she could have a grandson soon.

Xie Qiao immediately thanked her.

“The rest of you should leave too. You have all suffered a lot today. I’m sorry.” As the Empress said that, she ordered people to send some gifts to each family.

As for Dong Xiyun and the others who were spouting nonsense…

They would not be rewarded.

She would not punish Dong Xiyun, nor would she reward her. This could be considered as a lesson for her. In the future, she would have to treat Xie Qiao, the future Princess Consort, with respect and not offend her in any way.

Dong Xiyun remained kneeling on the ground.

Only after everyone had left did the people around her help her up.

However, she did not dare to show the slightest bit of dissatisfaction on her face. She suppressed her anger, and hatred soared. She was feeling extremely ferocious.

Xie Qiao!

She actually dared to ignore her!

“Sister Xie, you didn’t even look at her just now. That’s amazing. Who asked her to be so proud? Now that she has buried herself in the hole she dug, I’m afraid she won’t dare to come out and meet anyone for a few days!” Fang Muxue became a lot more lively and naggy.

Xie Qiao pulled Xie Xi with one hand as they walked out. “She will definitely want to ace in the next examination.”

If she were Dong Xiyun, she would definitely want to make up for losing her dignity.

However, what could she do to redeem herself?

It would not be long before the big examination.

“You haven’t been paying attention to your studies these days. Are you confident?” Fang Muxue asked first, then she patted her own head and said, “Look at this pig head of mine! You’re already teaching us. You can even be a teacher in the academy. Why can’t you beat her?!”
