Consort Lan glanced contemptuously, "What are you afraid of? What if His Majesty brought her into the palace? She's nothing but a rough woman from the Jianghu, relying on her looks to charm His Majesty. She's got no backing, so would His Majesty really punish me for a Jianghu woman?
I am the daughter of the Great General. With the battles at the border raging, my father is crucial to the Imperial Court right now. His Majesty is not a foolish ruler; he naturally knows what is important.
Furthermore, she uprooted His Majesty's most beloved flower, a flower even the Empress Dowager wouldn't dare to touch. Do you think His Majesty would still favor her?
If His Majesty knew his beloved flower had been uprooted, he would probably want to chop Xia Weibao's head off! I handled her according to the law, and His Majesty will surely favor me."
With this analysis, Consort Lan's earlier hesitation hardened instantly.
"What are you standing there for, attack!"
