As soon as Juhua and Li Sheng left the palace, Li Sheng showed displeasure and said: "What did you just say to the Empress Dowager? Did you tell her about the discord between us?"
Juhua replied coldly: "What I said to the Empress Dowager is between us, and it has nothing to do with you."
Li Sheng's voice rose slightly: "How could it have nothing to do with me? It's said that family disgrace should not be spread outside. If you told the Empress Dowager about our affairs, how would she look at me?"
"Family disgrace? Hehe, listening to you speak so righteously this morning, I thought you believed your views were always right. It's rare you even know it's a family disgrace, knowing that others would feel ashamed listening to your actions," Juhua mocked, "Still, you're overthinking it. The Empress Dowager has a broad mind and rarely spends thoughts on people not worth it. So you needn't be afraid. Maybe once you leave the palace, she'll forget who you even are!"
