"Palace rules? Consideration? The Empress Dowager truly embodies majesty and power, worthy of being called a sovereign among women. You are the grandmother of my father, my elder, and the most esteemed woman in the Harem. You wield great authority, so why can't you spare my mother?"
Luo Shunchen stared directly at the Empress Dowager, articulating his words slowly and deliberately.
"I don't know what you're talking about. Get out! Don't disturb me while I'm dining!"
Startled, the Empress Dowager refused to admit anything.
She knew better than anyone that now was not the time to fall out with Luo Shunchen, so she could only use a dismissal order to make him leave Xianping Palace.
Yet, how could she have known that since Luo Shunchen came to this palace, he never intended to leave empty-handed?
"Dining?"
