At that moment, the palace maid was about to crawl out from under the bed when she suddenly heard this and was so frightened that her body felt cold halfway through.
Who in and out of the palace doesn't know that the Empress bore the Emperor a pair of children?
The daughter, Princess Shouning, is the Empress's precious jewel, and the son is the Second Prince, the Emperor's legitimate heir.
Yet the Empress hysterically shouted at the Duchess, saying that she had only ever given birth to Princess Shouning, a daughter, in her lifetime.
To kill her daughter and then demand her forgiveness—it's like stabbing her in the heart with a knife!
She has only given birth to one daughter her entire life, and just because she harbored admiration for Prince NanAn and defied them a few times, they wanted to send her off for a marriage alliance. When have they ever considered her?!
Back then, the Empress's anger and weeping still echo in the ears.
