The reason Long Yue indulged in verbal sparring with the opponent was to bide time.
When she saw this black cat, she knew.
This was Princess Consort Zhen's beloved pet, Little Black.
The name was common, but it matched its fur color, and only such a name could suit such a little black cat.
The Imperial Palace was vast, yet not small either. Long Yue believed that women who ascended to the rank of Consort all possessed certain skills. In each rival's palace, they would have some people they bought for their use.
So, when the black cat died, Princess Consort Zhen should immediately learn about it.
As expected, she hurried over.
Princess Consort Zhen was the biological mother of the Seventh Prince. Logically, now that the Seventh Prince participated in the struggle for the throne, the rank of his birth mother should be elevated to that of Imperial Concubine, shouldn't it?
But not at all!
