"How did you know about all this?" the empress growled at Princess Sylvia.
"How did I know about all this? Mother, are you forgetting that I'm your daughter? And that I know you better than anyone?" the princess said.
"I know your attachment to the throne. I know your pushing nature to get it at any cost. But the way you left for the exploration with Father when Concubine Feng Mei was pregnant clearly indicates how much you've tried to hide the fact that you're aware of the concubine's plotting. As I know you're not planning to give birth again any time soon," the princess said, looking at the empress from head to toe.
"You're really getting on my nerves. If you weren't my daughter, I would eliminate you right here," the empress said, chewing her teeth.
"Ha! Eliminate me? As if you haven't eliminated any children before," the princess laughed, making the empress lose her face color.
