The old woman's expression changed, thinking she was going to call the imperial physician again: "Princess, didn't we agree..."

"Is it not allowed for me to go see my mother?" Bai Yan asked coldly.

The power dynamic is such that when one is strong, the other is weak. The original owner of this body had a gentle personality and was used to living a low-key life in the palace, but things were different after Bai Yan took over.

Status is something that can be used to intimidate others.

"Of course," the old woman said awkwardly, avoiding the question.

Bai Yan and Hong Ping boarded the carriage to the palace together. Cui Ming originally wanted to come along, but Bai Yan glanced at her and said, "You don't need to go. Stay at the Jin residence."

Cui Ming's eyes widened, wanting to ask why, but the carriage had already sped away in a cloud of dust.

"Did she really say that?" Madam Jin's hand tightened around the teacup.

"This old servant heard it all clearly." The old woman said with a mocking look, "What a grand princess act!"

Madam Jin threw her teacup to the ground: "You worthless wretch!"

"Madam, please don't be angry. Our porcelain isn't worth fighting with rubble. Be careful not to hurt your hands," the old woman quickly advised.

"Oh, she went to the palace?" Madam Jin said, "To see Consort Li?"

Jin Fu's face turned cold. "You also go and prepare a carriage for me. I am going to the palace today to pay my respects to the Empress."

"yes."

Bai Yan had already entered the palace and arrived at the bedchamber where Consort Li resided.

Consort Li was not favored. Although she held the rank of Consort, her only trusted confidante was an old nanny who had served her for more than ten years.

"Ayan, why are you back?" Turning around, Consort Li was overjoyed to see her daughter, but her expression changed in an instant.
