In Jianzhang Palace, the Empress smashed everything breakable in the hall into pieces.
She was panting, and for once, she didn't want to cry; her heart was only filled with hatred.
"I've really underestimated Concubine Xi. She's quite capable, isn't she? Even managed to get pregnant with this!" The Empress's eyes were red, her voice distorted: "It's not like she's someone so noble, letting her get lucky and conceive. It's truly pitiful for Attendant Lady Lan, the princess of the Zake Tribe was degraded to just an attendant."
The Empress also didn't like Attendant Lady Lan.
Lately, Attendant Lady Lan was in favor, and she didn't have a friendly face towards her. Discovering now that in the Emperor's heart, someone like her is like nothing compared to Concubine Xi, she began to pity her, almost as if she was pitying herself.
"If this child of Concubine Xi's could be raised by me, it would be great."
"No, it can't be just raised by me..."
