บท 518: Chapter 518: "Mother-in-law" Seeks Refuge with "Daughter-in-law"

The Emperor was furious, not only scolding the Empress but also taking away some of her power and giving it to Concubine Shu, asking her to help manage the Harem.

Concubine Shu had a daughter, who was well-behaved and had a steady temperament. Although not favored, she was capable of managing affairs in the Harem.

It wasn't originally her turn to take up these responsibilities, but with the death of Concubine Jin and Concubine Xian's foolish past actions related to the former Crown Prince and the current Princess Consort, she couldn't take up the duties.

She was now hiding in her chamber with no intention of showing her face.

It was thus that Concubine Shu had to step forward.

Concubine Shu was terrified.

She didn't feel happy at all.

Although the Empress didn't have a son, her family had a strong background, and Concubine Shu couldn't afford to provoke her.

This time, after gaining the power of the Empress, she didn't view Concubine Shu as a thorn in her side.
