A beautifully dressed, noble-looking young woman was roaring in a furious rage. Everyone in the palace was so frightened they knelt on the ground, trembling uncontrollably.
This woman was the highest-ranking and most powerful woman in the entire New Qin Kingdom... the Queen!
The matron who had been killed was her wet nurse, someone she had brought with her from her maternal home. Her bond with the matron was even closer than the one she shared with her own mother.
This was why the matron had developed such an arrogant and domineering nature in the rear palace. Never mind a fallen princess from another kingdom like Zhao Qianqian; even high-ranking concubines had to show her deference.
When she was displeased, taunting a few Consorts was a light offense. She had even been known to curse them out loudly!
A few years ago, a court maiden of common birth who had just been selected had accidentally offended this matron and was tortured to death by her!
