"Furthermore, when Lady Li came to Yuqing Palace with your mother to visit you, was it because she truly had no intention of climbing the social ladder, or was she used as a pawn by you? You know the answer perfectly well."
Yinreng raised his handsome phoenix eyes and disdainfully revealed what Consort Li had been doing in secret.
Consort Li was terrified. She hadn't expected that Yinreng, who was busy with the court affairs, would still have time to look after the inner palace.

When that time comes, you can see if Consort Tong will still be as good as she is now. She will become just like me, vying for favor, using tricks, and trying to climb to the position closest to you."
