Accompanied by Yu Lan's scream, blood instantly surged from her forehead. The Empress froze for a long while, her gaze turning sharp as she angrily glared at Noble Concubine Shih.
"Presumptuous!"
Noble Concubine Shih completely sobered up. She glanced at her son sleeping by her side and, ensuring he had not been awoken, only then did she sneer.
"My Imperial Son was born prematurely and is weak. What if he gets jostled with so many people around? Empress, can you bear that responsibility?"
"As for the Third-Day Bathing Ritual, there's no need for Your Majesty the Empress to worry!"
"I am emotionally unstable and accidentally harmed Lady Yu Lan. I ask for Your Majesty the Empress's forgiveness!"
The Empress continued to glare furiously.
"Noble Concubine, you fear your son being jostled, yet you dare to jostle me?!"
"What kind of rule is this?"
Noble Concubine Shih sneered.
