Nangong Shuangshuang's face changed, and her speech became hesitant. Bai Ruoyun thought she had frightened Nangong Shuangshuang and smiled with satisfaction. She continued, "You have just entered the palace and couldn't possibly know the dangers of this harem.
None of the mistresses in this harem would hesitate to take a life. Our lives as servants are worth nothing, disappearing in this harem as if they never existed. The best way to stay alive is to stay away from the various fights in the harem. To stay away from fights, the first thing you must avoid is the mistresses.
Don't think that currying favor with an Empress will lead you to sudden success. Before that, you might get caught up in the mistresses' fights, and there won't even be bones left when you die."
Nangong Shuangshuang slightly lowered her head and calmly echoed Bai Ruoyun's words, "Aunt, you're right. It was indeed dangerous just now; when the Noble Consort glanced over, it made me so nervous."
