Li Shengan seemed to have seen the funniest joke.
He couldn't even muster a laugh, leaving only a look of irony.
"Like you?"
"Oh dear, sorry, this old servant didn't see that!"
"You, just keep dreaming your grand dreams!"
After finishing, he waved his hand.
"Take her away!"
"Yes!"
A few little eunuchs escorted the crying and yelling Huan Chun to the Punishment Department.
Meanwhile, over at Duanning Palace.
Xia Ruqing was so hungry her stomach was pressing against her back, and it took forever for Zhao Junyao to come over.
"Emperor, you've finally returned, let's eat!"
If he didn't come back soon, the dinner would be cold.
"Alright!"
Zhao Junyao was in a good mood.
Afterward, the emperor and empress consort ate, laughing and talking as usual.
Then washed up, changed clothes, and went to sleep.
Throughout, Xia Ruqing didn't ask a single question.
It wasn't until she sent the Emperor off the next day
that she summoned all the palace maids of Duanning Palace.
