"It's... it's not, it is, it's Her Highness Princess Consort Lian's," the eunuch bearing the imperial edict said.
"Tsk."
His words successfully elicited a scornful laugh from Zhen Wu.
"Her Highness Princess Consort Lian's benevolent edict, huh?"

"Pah!"
Before the eunuch could finish speaking, Zhen Wu spat out loudly.
"Since when, aside from the Empress Dowager and the Empress, could those low-ranking concubines in Wei State issue edicts to others, let alone 'benevolent edicts'? Aren't they afraid of making the people of the other nations laugh their teeth off!"
The eunuch bearing the edict: "..."
Oh no, what to do, the words of this head of the guards were so on point.
