### Summary
The latest chapter escalates the court intrigue into direct physical assault, as Bayan falls victim to a malicious plot orchestrated by her rivals. Based on intense reader reactions, a dangerous, acid-like powder was planted in a box for Bayan, which subsequently burned her face. This attack is particularly dire as it coincides with the alarming failure of her signature self-healing ability, a new vulnerability first hinted at by a mysterious, unhealed cut in the previous chapter. Readers speculate her powers are diminished as a consequence of Emperor Dhan drinking her blood, and they fear the burns may leave permanent scars. The incident has ignited a firestorm of fury among the readership, with near-unanimous calls for violent retribution against the primary suspect, a rival purple-haired concubine. While minor suspicion is also cast on a mute concubine and a man with glasses, the focus remains on the main antagonist. The chapter concludes on a tense cliffhanger, leaving readers to anticipate a brutal, protective response from Dhan, whose infamous bloodlust is now expected to be unleashed upon those who harmed Bayan, potentially leading to a bloody purge of the court.
