The Empress Dowager confidently let Princess Lianchun take Xiaosui away, while she herself sat in the Great Hall waiting for the wife of the Duke and Xiao Ning'Er to come and pay respects.
The Emperor, on the other hand, was worried about Xie Pan'Er, so he went to Wanhua Palace to see her.
"What exactly happened? How did Xiaosui's mouth manage to say your eyes were irritated by the wind and sand?"
The Emperor sat next to Xie Pan'Er right after entering.
Xie Pan'Er was having someone fetch a basin of clean water to wash her eyes, and the Emperor nonchalantly took over the maid's work, personally helping Xie Pan'Er cleanse her eyes.
The palace maidens of Wanhua Palace were terrified by his actions, but before they could panic, the Emperor glared at them, signaling them to leave.
Xie Pan'Er heard the Emperor's voice and was startled, quickly standing up to pay her respects, but the Emperor grabbed her arm, forcing her back into her seat.
