"Yes, Your Majesty."
The nanny responded, bringing along two palace maids to snatch Zun'er from the Empress's arms. The sobbing child, overwhelmed and inconsolable, was carried to her side.
One had never seen such an unfit mother before. She had noticed earlier that Zun'er's shoulders bore bloody marks caused by the Empress's sharp nails, and this was through his clothing—the blood had already seeped through.
"Give Zun'er back to me!"
Deprived of Zun'er, the Empress erupted instantly.
Her eyes widened as if they were copper bells, glowing with a murderous intent, glaring at the nanny as though ready to pounce on her.
The nanny only spared Zun'er a glance. When she turned back to the Empress, she was confronted by those devouring eyes, and the sight genuinely startled her.
This Empress—could she already have lost her mind?
"Give him back to me! Return Zun'er to me! Zun'er, come here, come quickly!" The Empress, restrained from rushing forward, shouted at Zun'er in desperation.
