Thinking of the matters within the palace and the great trouble that Feng Bailing posed, Nalan Yan'er was consumed by a wave of irritation and confusion.
A Feng Bailing alone was enough to bother her, and now there was the addition of Imperial Consort Dugu, whose origins she could not investigate at all. The only clue was that Imperial Consort Dugu's appearance was identical to that of Lady Dugu from back in the days.
