The cheeks of Concubine Xue swelled up instantly with a "smack smack."
Xiao Jinyan clenched his fists, his eyes filled with icy lethality, "You don't even deserve to be human."
Concubine Xue covered her face, seething with hatred, "I don't deserve to be human? What about Your Highness? Ever since I married into the East Palace, I have never been granted the honor to share Your Highness's bed. I, too, wish to bear children, to experience the joy of having offspring. But has Your Highness ever given me the opportunity?"
Xiao Jinyan snorted coldly, "Before you married into the East Palace, I made it clear to you that even if you did marry in, I would never favor you. If there is no affection, why would I lay a hand on you?"
Concubine Xue was stunned.
The Empress Dowager had just arrived at the entrance of Hehuan Hall when she overheard the Crown Prince's words, her brows furrowed.
