Shao Yunduan replied, "Because I hold this position."
"You? Who do you think you are?" the Princess Consort demanded.
Shao Yunduan sighed. "Princess Consort Fu, you are of high status. Why make a spectacle of yourself? I owe nothing to the late Crown Prince. When my Empress was nearly killed and received no justice, I knew it was time to leave the capital."
"Once I left, whatever happened here was no longer my concern."
"You may not know the details, but the entire world does. If you're curious, you can ask around."
"Everything I've achieved today, I've earned. Princess Consort Fu, don't be so naïve."
"You should understand that no matter who claims the world, you have no chance of winning."
Both of you are simply players on a stage—one under house arrest, the other suppressed by the Fourth Prince. Do you really think you can turn the tables?
It's something you wouldn't even dare to dream about!
