Zi Yue, fanning nearby, also thought it made sense.
"You make a point!"
Xia Ruqing stroked Da Bai's fluffy tail as she smiled calmly.
"She really was too foolish!"
"In the palace, fools never live long. If they don't lose their lives this time, they will the next!"
"So, this matter has nothing to do with me! There's no need to bring it up again!"
Regarding Lady Zhou's wrongful death, Xia Ruqing felt virtually nothing. She wasn't a bodhisattva. Preserving herself was already difficult enough, let alone saving everyone. Besides, it wasn't she who had caused the death; she was also a victim, for goodness' sake! Her not being injured was entirely down to her own good fortune and audacity, not thanks to anyone else! If anyone was to blame, it was Noble Concubine Shih for her cruelty!
However, Xia Ruqing was deeply troubled.
She hoped in her heart: Let another scapegoat appear soon. Anyone, whether favored or with child, would do. She was truly reaching her limit.
