Li Bai has never felt so many negative things. Her heart was constricting, her mind blank with rage as her small white teeth dug into her lush red lip. That wench! The unknown voice raged within her.

Feeling the bloodlust coming off Qinwangfei, Lu-momo quietly advised; "Qinwangfei you must remain calm."

An external voice was just what Li Bai needed to regain her senses. "Ah you're right momo. Thank you." Li Bai cleared her throat. "Sun Ning you understand what you're saying right?"

The servant girl nodded, her tears falling like dewdrops as she continuously insisted. "It was Concubine Heng! Luan Qinwangfei your servant has been wronged!"

Li Bai still felt burning hate when she heard that name, but she ignored it. She didn't know who the person was nor did she know the inner workings of the Wangfu, so she could only face Lu-momo and order; "Momo have someone inform Qinwang his presence is needed. Also call Concubine Heng to advocate for herself."

Lu-momo nodded, thinking this was a very wise decision. Concubine Heng is heavily doted on by Chao Shen Qi, so it would be wise to make him judge over this so it would not seem like Luan Jiao Jiao is trying to spite Concubine Heng.

Watching the old woman totter away, Sun Ning secretly smiled. Luan Jiao Jiao just wait! I'll expose you and Concubine Heng in front of Qinwang. Even if I, Sun Ning, die today I will not let you have Qinwang's heart!

Steward Gang had just finished telling Chao Shen Qi the night's happenings when a male servant knocked on the door of the parlor.

Steward Gang was worried the unexpected newcomer would annoy Qinwang and was ready to scold the young man when Chao Shen Qi lazily ordered; "Enter."

The servant bowed in salutations. "Sorry to disturb your Majesty's rest, but there seems to be a problem in Wánshàn courtyard."

Chao Shen Qi fell quiet and thought for a bit. Ah he really didn't want to see that woman or the spawn, especially not at the unholy hours of the night. However, it wouldn't hurt to look at her pathetic face scrunched into a glare because he didn't come while she was in labor.

Yes, that was the only reason he was going. Chao Shen Qi certainly wasn't trying to deny he was worried about her. Don't be ludicrous!

"Steward Gang," Chao Shen Qi called after what felt like an eternity of silence. "help Benwang[1] dress."
