"Consort Ju Fen shall leave," Sheng Li commanded her.
"But, Your Majesty, my daughter-in-law needs me. I am afraid, but I cannot leave," Ju Fen refused to leave, making Sheng Li angry.
"Are you defying the orders of the Emperor?" He questioned her. "No one is allowed to enter this chamber without my permission and I deny the permission to you," Sheng Li said menacingly. Ju Fen lowered his eyes and looked at Bai Yaling. She turned and left the chamber.
Once she left, Ying Lili sat down beside Bai Yaling and asked her, "Why Sister Bai does not want to marry?"
"Because I am pregnant with the child of my late husband. It will be considered evil if I go for another marriage. Also, in the future, people will only point fingers at me and my child," Bai Yaling answered. "Your Majesty, I shall remain loyal to my late husband," she stated.
