### Summary
The chapter intensifies the conflicts surrounding Court Lady Eun-Woo, who faces both physical and emotional attacks. The bullying from jealous court ladies escalates violently, as they burn her with hot charcoal shortly before she is to be called by the Crown Prince. However, the more significant blow comes from Prince Lee Hyun himself. In a moment of profound cruelty, he explicitly states that the reason he frequently seeks her out is due to her infertility, which he attributes to a "cold energy" in her body. He justifies their relationship as a safe outlet for him, as there is no risk of her bearing an illegitimate child. This verbal assault deeply wounds Eun-Woo, striking at her known insecurities and reframing their intimacy as a matter of cold convenience for the Prince. Reader commentary expresses outrage at both the bullies and the Prince, labeling his words as a heartless, "jerk ass move." While some acknowledge his traumatic past as a potential reason for his volatile behavior, many feel this act crossed a line, cementing him as an unlikable and insensitive figure. The incident leaves readers furious on Eun-Woo's behalf, hoping for future retribution and speculating that she will eventually overcome her condition and make the Prince regret his callous words.
