"Yes."
She had no choice but to respond and withdraw.
Only Yu Youhan remained in the hall, leaning on the Consort's Seat, a hint of resentment in her sharp phoenix eyes.

In the Quiet Room, Chen Mo sat on the futon and sighed helplessly.
It seems the Empress is truly angry this time; could it be she found out about what happened last night?
If facing the wall is what's needed, then so be it. After all, the Government has everything arranged, so he doesn't need to worry. It's good to have some peace here... of course, it would be even better if Director Xu could come and keep him company.
