Li Yuanjing set down the soup bowl: "The Second Miss of the Lu Family has entered the palace?"
Affairs of the inner palace were entirely managed by Shen Wei, so Li Yuanjing hadn't expected the Second Miss of the Lu Family to enter the palace at such a critical moment.
Eunuch Zhou replied respectfully, "Noble Consort Lu Xuan is gravely ill, so the Second Miss of the Lu Family came to care for her—what a coincidence, this old servant even ran into her on the way here. Despite the freezing cold, she was dressed in such opulent finery, more dazzling than the red plum blossoms in the imperial garden."
Li Yuanjing's expression turned icy.
Lu Xuan was bedridden in severe illness, yet her younger sister had come to visit dressed in such extravagant attire.
If she truly cared for her sister, why would she deliberately adorn herself so meticulously?
Clearly, the visit was merely an excuse.
