章 414: Under Her Control

Lady Ge Beining slapped a hand over her mouth, her eyes widened with terror. She couldn't stop the trembling of her fingers, but her reaction was a lot more graceful than her peers.

Suddenly, she was glad she had not consumed breakfast yet. Unfortunately, the same couldn't be applied to the other ladies-in-waiting who were gagging or had already thrown up beside her. Some had fainted, only to be caught by a maidservant.

"T-this is so horrible…" one of them managed to choke out, only to look away a second later. The sight was too unbearable. Her stomach uncomfortably churned, threatening to spill the morning tea she drank a few minutes ago.

"I-I can't stomach this…" she added on, turning her back on someone she once called a friend. 

"How can the Crown Prince be so cruel?" a different lady-in-waiting asked whilst whipping her mouth with a handkerchief. She had finally finished throwing up, her nose scrunching in disgust.
