"Someone intruded through the window," Li Xueyue harshly said. "How could so many of you fail at following the safety protocols?"
They flinched at her cold words, not expecting the compassionate Crown Princess to ever raise her voice at them. Well, she hadn't screamed or yelled, but the ruthlessness of her words was more than enough.
