"Keep your voice down!" Jin Zhi said, his tone one of bitter frustration. "Do you have any idea how important this imperial heir is to the Darong State? If anything happens to the child, the Emperor and the Empress Dowager will turn the world upside down to investigate. Do you really think you can pull the wool over their eyes? When that day comes, never mind me—even the entire Jin family won't be able to protect you!"
Jin Zhi understood Jin Weige far too well. While she possessed a certain low-level cunning, that was the extent of it. She was calculating, but not deeply so. Perhaps in this palace, she could just barely get by, but when faced with absolute power and a thorough investigation, she would inevitably be exposed. The Emperor and the Empress Dowager might have their differences in power, but on this matter, they would certainly stand united.
Jin Weige bit her lip, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably. Her hard work had been ruined, and she had been struck—she felt deeply wronged. "Jin Zhi, how dare you! This palace is the Emperor's Imperial Noble Consort. You are merely a subject, yet you dare to strike me! Kneel! Get on your knees before me!"
