The Empress Dowager looked at Noble Concubine Shih, a troubled expression on her face.
"The Noble Consort was also thinking of the Harem..."
"Thinking of the Harem?"
Before the Empress Dowager could finish, Xia Ruqing coldly interrupted her.
"Thinking of the Harem allows one to frame people at will? To arbitrarily incite trouble and sling mud at others?"
"So, should I also find a few little eunuchs, under the guise of what's best for the Harem, and turn Noble Consort's Xifu Palace upside down with a search?!"
"You dare?!"
Noble Concubine Shih glared at her furiously.
"Who do you think you are to dare search my palace!"
The Empress Dowager gave Noble Concubine Shih a stern look.
"Wanxin! Hold your tongue!"
"Mother!"
Shih Wanxin was extremely reluctant.
Xia Ruqing gave another cold laugh.
"Publicly insulting concubines is an even graver offense. Empress Dowager, how much longer do you intend to shield her?"
