The beauty recounted everything that happened earlier at the Nurturing Heart Palace, word for word, to the Empress.
Upon hearing this, the Empress was so angry that her heart ached. How could Daying Chen be such a fool, not understanding how to seize an opportunity when it's given? Coldly, she said, "Didn't I remind you to quickly hide when you see Noble Consort Wang? She came, and you just stood there, letting her complain? Such a fool."
The beauty lowered her head, not daring to tell the Empress that the Emperor had held her in his arms, and in her moment of pride, she had forgotten to avoid. In her heart, she felt wronged; the Emperor had seemed so kind to her at that moment. Who would have known that after Noble Consort Wang arrived, he would turn his back on her?
"The Emperor promised I could lie in wait for him tonight," the beauty said, head bowed.
After hearing this, the Empress calmed down and said, "Then go back and prepare well."
