Zi Yue was carried back by Xiao Xizi and Xiao Zhu Zi. Her face was deathly pale, and the area beneath her clothes was a mangled mess of blood and flesh.
Xia Ruqing felt a deep discomfort, her eyes reddening again and again.
Consort Ning, I will remember this, she thought, clenching her teeth and fists in secret. We all live in the Harem. Since you've decided to take things this far, don't blame me for being impolite. We'll just wait and see.
One cannot challenge authority openly, but there are ways to vent anger in secret.
Xia Ruqing ordered someone to fetch the best Female Doctor for Zi Yue.
