Even the officials of the imperial harem, both high and low, went to participate.
I leaned against the palace gates, the smell of medicine lingering around me, gazing toward the Throne Hall.
Huston had told me that since I still needed to recover, it was inconvenient for me to attend.
"Inconvenient?"
"More like he's worried that Miss Renee will lose her mind and cause trouble for Empress Amy!"
"Exactly! When a woman gets jealous, it's dangerous! Of course, the Emperor needs to be cautious!"
Carol chased away the gossiping maids and returned to comfort me, but I could only shake my head and smile bitterly.
Huston, there was no need for you to guard against me.
Since you had already made your decision, I would naturally obey you.
Not long after Amy was crowned Empress, she predictably came to my palace.
She wore an Empress's robe embroidered with golden phoenixes, the phoenix tail patterns on her sash gleaming, highlighting her regal status.
Arrogantly, she knocked over my medicine pot and slapped me.
