The emperor hushed up the news that a fortune telling stone had appeared in the Imperial Palace. Apart from those who found it, no one else knew of it, let alone the people in the Glorious Palace.

Katrina was cheerfully making clothes for the baby in her belly. There was a loving smile on her face as she imagined the baby coming into the world and the happiness of their life to come.

"Your Highness, bad news. Her Majesty is now coming to us with many maids."

"Her Majesty?" Katrina was confused. "Why should she come here at this time?"

"I don't know, but she is coming with many maids, in an aggressive manner. What should we do, Your Highness?" Judith said in horror.

"You go sneak out of the palace and meet His Majesty. I'll go speak with Her Majesty." Katrina put down the piece of clothes she was making and sat down in the main seat, waiting for the empress.

The empress burst into the Glorious Palace with her maids. Looking at Katrina sitting with elegant composure in the main seat, she said with a false smile, "Katrina, I'm here to visit you."

"I'm so very flattered, Your Majesty. But I'm afraid that's not your real purpose," Katrina said with cold irony.

"You are right. I came here today for two purposes. One is to visit you, and the other is to protect His Majesty," the empress said with a malicious smile, staring at Katrina, who maintained a calm facade.

"Don't beat about the bush, Your Majesty. Be frank with me," Katrina said coldly. She was rather disturbed, especially because of the ominous eclipse that happened today.

"Katrina, I'm sorry that I can't help you. It's His Majesty who doesn't want the baby, not that I don't want it." The empress covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief as the smell of blood filled the room. Katrina was bleeding. The child that she had longed for had turned into a pool of blood.

"My child. Oh, my god, no! My baby..." Katrina burst into tears in her despair, holding her lower abdomen tightly, as if it were the only way she could slow down her baby's death.

"Let's go back and report to His Majesty." The empress stood up and was about to leave. Katrina had lost her baby, and her goal had been achieved. The empress had mixed musk with safflower to make that poison. Katrina could no longer be pregnant again.

Katrina curled up on the floor. When she saw the empress had turned to leave, she suddenly stretched out one hand and grabbed the empress's foot. With a desperate pull, the empress fell directly to the floor, and there was no time for her maids to catch her.

"Gloria Huang, I won't let you go!" Katrina struggled and tried to hit the empress. Nancy kicked her away. Her head struck against the corner of the chair, and she passed out.

The empress got up in anger, kicked Katrina twice, and said spitefully, "What bad luck! Let's go back!"
