What would become of us?" the old lady said, her wrinkled face etched with worry. But the concubine's reaction was far from expected. She grabbed the old lady by her hair, forcefully bringing her face close to hers.
"How dare you curse the heir of the empire? Are you on that woman's side too? Do you want my child to die so that she can inherit whatever is meant for my child?" she seethed with anger.
"I... I was only trying to ensure your safety, madam. I'm worried for the heir. The ruler is away from the empire, so if something happened, we wouldn't be able to show or do anything about it," the old lady tried to explain.
