The Empress's steps into the Imperial Study were heavy, each one as if she wanted to crush Su Jin like an ant.
Her honorable self, the Empress, sought an audience, yet the Emperor declined, citing a busy schedule.
But for a female bandit, the Emperor agreed to meet.
This was a great insult to her as Empress!
However, the Emperor did not care about the Empress's emotions, piercing straight to the heart with a single line.
"The Eldest Young Madam of Duke Zhen's Mansion has caused trouble again?"
The tone carried a concern even the Emperor hadn't noticed, burning the Empress with anger.
In such a vast harem, who else was in the Emperor's thoughts like this?
Only Consort Yun!
