"Your Majesty, I have just received news that Consort Yu has been disfigured?"
Ji Huan frowned, a bad thought forming in her mind: "How did you get disfigured?"
"Consort Yu's face was covered in pimples, which frightened the Emperor."
Ji Huan's heart skipped a beat. She realized that this wave of attacks was not only aimed at Consort Yu, but also at her. No wonder she was the future emperor's birth mother!
