On the day she entered the palace, her eldest sister scolded her behind her back.
The chosen servant Zhang Lingjun was a concubine from a sixth-rank official family in Shu. Her biological mother died young and her aunt was mean. Everyone regarded her as a disposable chess piece.
Until the night she became pregnant with Dragon Si——
The queen mother sent birth control pills to induce death, the empress sent poison-quenching supplements, and even her own sister stabbed her in the back.
Everyone was waiting to see her killed.
But she happened to survive.
The irrefutable evidence of the deposed queen's mother's smuggling of salt, the handwritten letter of repentance written by the queen mother, and the secret account that the concubine Xian had hidden for ten years——
With an old book and a few pieces of tissue paper, she sent everyone who had harmed her over the years to where they should go one by one.
In seven years, she went from being a humble waiter in the corner of the cold palace to being on the phoenix chair.
Everyone asked her why.
She only said one sentence:
"The sword that can kill me has not yet been made in this palace."
