"Han Sang!" Huo Mingyan snapped unhappily, "Why are you saying all this to Lord Guan?!"
"This servant simply cannot stand how Princess Zhaoning bullies you! She's the daughter of a disgraced minister, used to be a concubine, and even bore a child for another man. Truly, in every way inferior to Your Highness. How dare she intrude upon the nest and seduce His Majesty?! Because of her, Your Highness, the rightful Empress, has been utterly neglected..."
At those words, Huo Mingyan's eyes reddened slightly as she stubbornly turned her face away, refusing to speak.
Guan Songyuan's heart ached for her. In stern tones of disapproval, he said, "Shen Yinning is truly too outrageous!"
Han Sang voiced her hopes eagerly, "Lord Guan, do you have any way of helping Her Highness?"
