After delegating the matter of the phoenix crown, the large stone in Xia Ruqing's heart finally settled.
After lunch, she took a sweet nap.
When she woke from her midday rest, she stretched languidly and sighed.
"Once this lighter phoenix crown is done, my neck will finally be spared!"
While helping her change clothes, Zi Su remarked.
"Madam, what if that old craftsman doesn't keep his word and leaks your secret?"
Xia Ruqing's almond eyes lifted slightly.
"Would he dare?"
"Judging by his demeanor, he seems to have served in the palace for many years; he should know better. Don't worry!"
But Zi Su was still uneasy.
"If worse comes to worst, I can have Xiao Xizi keep a secret eye on him, or give him another lesson!"
"Either way, I can't help but worry!"
This was a matter of the Empress's reputation, if it got out, it would be disastrous!
Xia Ruqing couldn't help but laugh and cry.
"Enough!"
"There's no need to go to such lengths!"
