Qiu Li took the opportunity to retort, "What do you want with Miss Xiaohong?"
Xiaohong bit her molars tightly and did not speak.
"Where's Tao Ye?" Su Luo asked.
"Searching!" a servant replied from below, "There's no sign of her in Changle Palace!"
Xiaohong's eyes were red, and one side of her cheek was swollen. Her speech was slurred, but she still managed to accuse, "Empress, Aunt Tao Ye must be doing something shameful behind her master's back!"
As long as I can prove that Tao Ye did have an affair, then my blunder may be understandable, and my guilt not so severe!
Just as Su Luo was about to send more people to search, Tao Ye was brought up.
Tao Ye was wearing particularly plain clothing, her lips pale, and she wore no powder.
Xiaohong crawled over on her knees, sniffed carefully, and impatiently said, "Empress, she smells of alcohol! She must have been sneaking around with a man!"
Tao Ye's eyes widened, "Wha-what sneaking around?"
