Zhou Yijing's face turned grim, and she grabbed Yu Xi's wrist.
"You..."
Yu Xi looked at Zhou Yijing, and Zhou Yijing, with a flip of her hand, slapped Yu Xi's face with a resounding crack.
Yu Xi held her cheek, lifted her head, and looked at her, her expression distorted to the point of madness.
"You, how dare you hit me, the Emperor will have you killed, the Emperor stands with me."
Zhou Yijing stared at her, "I want you to see clearly, as long as I'm here, I'm still the Empress, and you're just a Concubine Li, lacking status and legitimacy, do you understand?"
"No, I have the Emperor's child, I have Lord Shunchang, the Emperor favors him."
"We can still have countless children, what is your child with the Emperor worth? By then, my child will be the Main Wife, loved by the entire nation, you could have left the Empress behind, Concubine Li, your education could land you a good job, a good career out there, why insist on staying here?"
