Phoenix Palace.
The Empress leaned on the Imperial Concubine's Couch, her hand touching her cheek.
Her noble and elegant face was full of anger.
She was so furious that the hands of the Imperial Physician taking her pulse were trembling.
Unluckily, this Imperial Physician was the same one who had removed cactus spines from Xie Jinyu a few days earlier.
The last time he had thought the Eldest Young Madam of Duke Zhen's Mansion was ruthless.
Now he felt that the word "ruthless" was simply inadequate to describe her.
She had infuriated the Empress so much that she literally got a fever—
She had a toothache.
The Empress had been in charge of the inner palace for over ten years, and no one had ever angered her like this before.
Anyone who slightly upset the Empress would be quickly dealt with by a host of people eager to please her, ready to become her blade to vent her anger.
