I Cannot Let Her Rest

The gaze of Consort Mu was deep and profound as she glanced at the people brought by Empress, surrounding the Qingquan Palace.

Empress came prepared, but Consort Mu was not one to be easily controlled.

With a touch of authority in her gentle voice, she rebuked, "Hold on! This is my palace. How can you search it as you please? Empress, do you have any evidence to support your claim that there is a prince hidden in my palace?"

"Once the search is conducted, evidence will naturally be found," replied Empress.

Consort Mu sneered coldly, "Empress, what kind of person do you take me for? A lowly palace maid? Are you allowed to suspect me without any basis? You defame my innocence with the prince. If you cannot find anyone, what will be your response, Empress?"

Empress glared at her, her eyes like ringing bells.

"I am the ruler of the harem, with the authority to search every place. Are you trying to obstruct me? Are you guilty?"
