Chapter 222: Chapter 221: Caught Red-handed by Jinyan

Shen Chuwei lifted the ginger sugar water to her lips and took a sip, "Appointing a Crown Princess is an inevitable matter, beyond our control."

"That may be true," Concubine Xu said resentfully, "but Lady Chang's maternal family goes to war and kills enemy soldiers, my father and brothers also go to war and kill enemy soldiers. All the good fortune seems to befall her household only."

Shen Chuwei looked at Concubine Xu's indignant expression, because Lady Chang had the Empress's support!

She had seen two or three palace struggle dramas like this before; in them, the Empress always supported her own family to become the Crown Princess or the Empress.

Moreover, the Empress had always wanted Lady Chang to become the Crown Princess.

Concubine Xu was extremely upset and seeing Shen Chuwei calmly drinking tea, she said, "Aren't you worried at all? If Lady Chang becomes the Crown Princess, she'll wield great power, and our good days will come to an end."
