After the court assembly, the Emperor returned to his study and summoned the Hidden Guard to inquire about recent events.
The Hidden Guard reported that the conduct of the Cao family's father and son was completely normal, and no suspicious people had been seen.
The Emperor was not disappointed upon hearing this, as it was such a short time and naturally wouldn't be easy to catch any clues.
After instructing the Hidden Guard to continue the investigation, the Emperor leisurely proceeded to the Empress Palace.
The Princess was attending her lessons, and the Empress was embroidering in the palace.
Upon seeing the Emperor arrive, the Empress stood up to greet him, but the Emperor waved his hand to indicate she should rise.
"Are you embroidering a sachet for me?" The Emperor leaned close to the Empress, looking at the embroidery in her hand, and asked naturally.
"I haven't embroidered in five years." The Empress suddenly said.
