Princess Yuhua and Consort Wang were rendered speechless by Ye Qiu's words. According to the rules, the Imperial Concubine indeed hadn't done anything wrong.
"The Imperial Concubine has become increasingly sharp-tongued," Empress Dowager Wang said to Ye Qiu, her tone neither warm nor cold.
Ye Qiu chuckled lightly, "Empress Dowager flatters me. Everything I do is for the Emperor and for Daxin, I dare not neglect my duties in the slightest. If the Empress Dowager, the Princess, and Consort Wang have any doubts, please bring them forward, and I will explain them all together."
"Aren't you afraid that one day you'll fall into the mire and everyone will turn against you?" Empress Dowager Wang said with a dark expression.
Ye Qiu looked at the three of them with a smile that wasn't quite a smile: "Who knows if that day will come? Besides, even if I do fall into the mire one day, I will surely drag my enemies down to accompany me in my downfall."
