The Empress said coldly, "What kind of madness has possessed you?"
"I'm going mad! Every time I close my eyes, I hear the child crying, blaming me for not bringing her back."
The Empress grabbed the Crown Princess Consort's arm and twisted it fiercely.
"It's only because the child is young, staying here in my palace for a few days, and you initially agreed to it wholeheartedly. If you have any dissatisfaction, speak to me directly. Why cause a scene in front of the Holy Emperor? What nonsense are you spouting? Absolute absurdity!"
The implications of these words were many.
The child is young, a warning for her to keep her mouth shut.
They were in the same boat from the start, so don't act on emotions.
"Someone, help the Crown Princess Consort down."
The Crown Princess Consort, however, did not show the slightest fear.
"Is mother worried now, trying to silence me? Or afraid that if I speak the truth, father will be furious?"
