Noble Consort Wang was just about to speak when the screeching cries of two palace maids resonated in her ears: "Noble Consort Wang, Noble Consort Wang, save us, they're going to beat us to death."
Noble Consort Wang looked up, only to see her two palace maids being firmly pressed to the ground by the Empress's people, receiving a barrage of slaps, making the maids howl in pain.
Her rage rose instantly; the Empress barged into her palace with servants in tow, and now they were hitting her servants. If such acts were to spread, how could she survive in the Harem?
Noble Consort Wang shouted loudly: "Stop!"
The Empress said nonchalantly: "Noble Consort Wang, there's no need to be upset over just two insignificant palace maids. They don't know the rules of the palace, so I'm disciplining them for your sake."
"You...you...Empress, don't push your luck! What crime have they committed?" Noble Consort Wang quivered with rage.
