"Come and help me change," the Empress said slowly.
The command was originally meant for a palace maid, but the attendants of Jianzhang Palace were so well-disciplined that the bedroom was utterly silent. Jiang Xian, hearing it from the antechamber, chirped in reply, "Of course, Your Majesty! I'll come help you change right now."
'Isn't it just changing clothes?'
'I can help the Emperor change, so what's the big deal about helping the Empress?'
Hearing this, the other palace maids assumed the Empress had intended for Noble Lady Gu to serve her, so they didn't stop her from entering.
Jiang Xian deactivated the Little Pitiful Halo she'd used on the Emperor and switched on her Fan Filter. This ability was mostly useless on the other concubines, since every one of them was brimming with malice toward her. She'd be lucky if they weren't seeing her through an "anti-fan" filter, let alone a Fan Filter. 'In their dreams.'
