The princess consort trembled slightly, her eyes filled with disbelief as she looked at the empress. "Mother Empress..."
The empress's voice was stern and commanding. "Tantai Shuya, kneel down!"
The princess consort's legs gave way, and she fell to her knees with a thud. Her heart was heavy with grievances. Every time she came to the empress, she felt an overwhelming pressure.
She couldn't understand why the empress was always so harsh toward her.
A few years ago, the empress had been kind and gentle. But in the past two years, every time the empress saw her, there was nothing but coldness in her expression.
Seated on the grand throne of Kunning Palace, the empress spoke coldly, "As the mistress of Prince Yan's Mansion, you are responsible for managing the household. Yet, under your watch, a concubine has been having an affair with a stable hand and even became pregnant! Do you want all of Yanjing to mock Prince Yan?"
