Who could he even blame?
He looked at the woman kneeling before him.
As much as he wanted to find something to blame and vent his anger, he knew this woman still had a lot of value left to use.
After all, with her former identity and outstanding beauty, he had managed to secure many 'allies' within the royal court by using her.
With his anger having nowhere to vent, he closed his eyes and spoke coldly.
"…I understand. Return to your position for now. You've been gone long enough."
Hearing this, Bai Lingyu felt a wave of relief....only to freeze at his next words.
"And prepare yourself well. I will be meeting a few old friends of mine tonight… and they wish for you to be present."
Her lips twitched.
She knew exactly who those "old friends" were.....they were her still surviving admirers from the past.
Men who once pursued her when she was still the famous flower of the capital and forced to give up once she become the former emperor's favored concubine.
