The Empress Dowager's face showed anger, "Was that child intentional, or was she used as a pawn? She seemed quite well-behaved, how could she..."
At this point, she herself could not continue, for there were many well-behaved children in the palace, but it was as if this place were a big dye vat; who coming in could guarantee they'd never change?
Moreover, you can know someone's face but not their heart.
Bai Ruozhu remained entangled in the grudge she once held against Fu Yiyi and for a moment did not wish to speak out, but meeting the Empress Dowager's compassionate eyes, she could not bear to conceal it and roughly explained the situation at that time.
"What? Why didn't you speak up about this just now?" the Empress Dowager chided gently, though her tone was not too harsh.
Bai Ruozhu wryly smiled, after all, the other had become the Emperor's woman, how could she expose her shortcomings? Who would have thought there would be something wrong with what she was handling?
