The empress gritted her teeth and said, "There's no need."
In the battles of the previous dynasty, the women in the harem were often implicated. If the crown prince fell, how long could the empress keep her position? One day, Emperor Wen Hui would age. If Prince Zhou succeeded the throne, what would happen to the empress?
Consort Xu smiled and said, "If you don't want me to, I won't force you. However, I still have something to tell His Majesty. I won't accompany you anymore." She covered her mouth and smiled, about to send someone in to inform Emperor Wen Hui.
The empress wanted to scratch Consort Xu's face. If Consort Xu went in now to add fuel to the flame, the empress would probably be even angrier at the crown prince.
However, she could not stop Consort Xu.
