"Great Empress, I don't think it's a good idea for you to go see the consort. It will draw too many heads your way. Please rethink this decision." The handmaid sticking close to the Empress advised, trying hard to change the woman's mind.
But the Empress refused and continued on her march, "If it true that Xínyí actually had the prized bronze pot stolen, then I need to rebuke her for it. Only then will she repent."
The servants who couldn't understand why their Empress would suddenly start to think in this way, were oblivious to the meeting she had with Ming Huiqing the previous night…
*Last night*
The Empress was on her way to go see her son who had barely left his quarters to present him with some freshly peeled fruits. However, she was intercepted by Ming Huiqing, who just happened to be hanging around.
"Miss Ming, it's quite late, why are you here? Did my son summon for you?"
