Xiao Rongxue's gaze was sharp, and she didn't quite believe her sister's words.
"Of course, it's true. Would I lie to you, sister? Besides, do not forget, I am the Empress Dowager of this Tang country, and nothing will go wrong with me. Also, the secret treasure of the Tianhu clan is on me; even those few people wouldn't be able to harm me in this Chang'an City..."
The Empress Dowager was gasping for breath, her eyebrows furrowed slightly as if she was enduring some pain, which made her breathing quicken.
Xiao Rongxue, from the side of the jade, narrowed her eyes and watched the mirror for a long, long time. Eventually, she nodded and spoke coldly.
"Since you said so, sister, I naturally have to believe you."
"However, whatever danger you may encounter, you can always tell me. I will definitely protect you. Whoever wants to harm you, I will have them cut into a thousand pieces, their bodies shattered into ten thousand parts."
