Noble Concubine Shih could bear it no longer.
"Mother, I won't go! If you want to go, go by yourself!"
Madam Shih was extremely shocked. "You child..."
Noble Concubine Shih furrowed her brows tightly, thoroughly unwilling. "I don't have that ability! Just because I touched his Favored Consort, this is the end I met! If I disobeyed the Emperor's decree, I might not even survive!"
Noble Concubine Shih felt a surge of bitterness!
Madam Shih tried to persuade her a few more times, but the Noble Consort simply disagreed.
"Mother! How long are you going to protect my brother? That vile woman, Lady Xia—her brother was originally a local ruffian, but now he's one of the Emperor's personal guards! My brother has been a loafer for so many years; it's about time he experienced the world!"
Madam Shih's face was filled with disbelief!
