"Master, it's different this time. The Empress is highly favored, and you have offended her. If things go on like this..."
"What if the Empress makes things difficult for you later?"
Xia Ruqing glanced at the heavy rain outside, touched her belly, and smiled. "In just over two months, I'm going to give birth! If she wants to maintain her position, she wouldn't dare to trouble me!"
Besides, the Empress favored? Don't make me laugh. All these years, if she were truly favored, it would have happened long ago. Why wait until now? And to think her supposed favor came right when her maternal family's brothers were beheaded? Ridiculous, isn't it?
Zi Yue didn't quite understand but was worried nonetheless. "Who can be certain of the rises and falls within the harem? All this servant hopes is for Master's well-being and for you to quickly bear a Little Prince!"
