The Empress was stunned for a moment: "What? I said that?"
The palace maid knelt on the ground, nodding pitifully, and said, "Indeed, it was the Empress who said it. I wouldn't dare lie."
"Is that so?" The Empress appeared to be deep in thought, yet she truly couldn't remember.
Maid: "Yes."
After thinking for a while, the Empress couldn't recall ever saying such a thing. However, judging by the maid's demeanor, she couldn't have been lying. Feeling somewhat guilty, she mumbled to herself, "Ah! No wonder Xuanxuan was so angry earlier. It turns out I went too far, I really shouldn't have touched on the Imperial Son's sore spot."
Finally, she added, "It's all because of that damn War Prince. He made me so confused with anger, how dare he act so ruthlessly, and my father just like that...!"
As she spoke, the Empress began to wipe her tears.
