"Who is this cunning woman with such a sharp tongue? Perhaps she doesn't want it anymore?"

Chen Guifei entered with grace and grandeur, comparable to that of the empress.

Upon seeing her, everyone's expression changed.

But the beautiful yet foolish Xin Fei stubbornly refused to bow her head.

Seeing this, Chen Guifei's coldness intensified, and her sharp gaze pierced Xin Fei, "It seems that Xin Fei harbors deep grievances against me. If so, why not speak your mind in front of me? Holding it in will only make you suffer."

Everyone looked at each other, not daring to make a sound.

Xin Fei's expression showed anxiety, but at the thought of her recent favor, which had been snatched away by this older woman, and as a result, her treatment had plummeted. Even the previously courteous concubines now looked at her disdainfully.

Anger clouded her judgment.

"Madam Guifei, you're just joking. You're so powerful, who would dare defy you? I was just joking. You're a high-ranking official, why bother arguing with someone like me?"

Chen Guifei raised an eyebrow, never having been taunted like this before.

So, she sneered at Xin Fei, her face mocking, and said coolly, "Since when did you have the right to speak to me? Your tongue is truly useless, you might as well cut it off."

Chen Guifei signaled to the eunuch behind her, and Xin Fei was forcibly dragged away.

"Chen Guifei, how dare you! I am a concubine personally appointed by the emperor. What right do you have to dispose of me! Let go of me! I will report to the emperor, cut off your hands, and behead you! Let go of me! I am the emperor's Xin Fei! Chen Guifei, you will have a bad end!"

Xin Fei struggled and yelled, but her voice quickly disappeared.

The other concubines in the room were all pale, not daring to move.

Chen Guifei smiled satisfactorily, then walked slowly to the main seat and sat down.

"This palace follows the rules strictly. If you don't follow the rules, it's fine, but it's best to keep it to yourself. If it's revealed, you'll suffer."

"I serve the emperor with the rest of you; we are sisters, and I hope everyone can cherish this sisterhood. Don't ruin yourselves."

Chen Guifei spoke casually, her face wearing a faint smile, but that smile carried a chill, sending shivers down the spine.
