A few days later, Shen Tang received a message from the Empire that envoys were coming to escort her back to the Imperial Palace.
Shen Tang almost cursed her father. These bastards had just sent assassins after her, and now they're suddenly kind enough to bring her back to the palace?
In the past, Shen Tang might have thought the Imperial Palace still had some affection for her original self. Now, she's certain it's a trap. Who knows what dirty tricks they have in store for her!
Shen Li looked at Shen Tang's bruised and swollen face, and gently explained, "I heard that a month from now is Princess Qingli's coronation ceremony. The palace suddenly sending people to fetch you back must be related to that."
The leading lady's coronation ceremony, inviting her to attend?
Ha.
The two of them hate each other so much that they wish to strangle one another. Did the leading lady get kicked by a donkey, inviting such bad luck to such an important occasion?
