One sentence plunged the entire grand hall into deathly silence.
The Empress Dowager furrowed her brows, not believing she was at fault, "If I truly wanted to kill you, I would not have kept you until now."
"Yes, because I still have utility value. If you killed me, where would you find a woman who both suits the Prince Consort's desires and can make him willingly hand over military power?"
The Empress Dowager was provoked by her words, "Fanghua, don't forget, you are this Great Chu Dynasty's Princess!"
"Does being a Princess mean I'm not your biological daughter, that a Princess deserves to be controlled at will by her birth mother?"
"Even if my initial intention was to stabilize your elder brother's reign by preventing Lu Xingzhou from gaining too much power and threatening the Emperor, making me bestow marriage upon you two; still, the man I allowed you to marry is the one you desired."
