Shen Wei told Li Chengtai, "I accidentally got scalded by hot soup, but I've already applied medicine. It's nothing serious."
Cai Ping muttered indignantly, "The Empress is truly outrageous. While she's bedridden, our mistress often visits her, yet she deliberately overturned the medicine bowl and scalded her!"
Li Chengtai's eyes widened in shock.
The Empress intentionally burned his mother?
A bitter smile flickered across Shen Wei's lips as she glanced subtly at Yang Xuanji nearby, then gently reassured Li Chengtai, "Don't worry, your mother is fine."
Li Chengtai lowered his head, seething with anger.
His mother had been so magnanimous, setting aside past grievances to visit the Empress. Yet the Empress was utterly malicious, even going so far as to harm her on purpose.
Li Chengtai was furious, and seeing his younger brother still munching on watermelon nearby only stoked his temper. How could this idiot keep eating while their mother was being bullied by the Empress?
