The Empress was so scared that she knelt with a THUD.
Xia Ruqing hurriedly dodged to the side in fright.
All that was heard was the Empress saying, "Emperor, this matter was all due to my momentary confusion. The craftsmen all said that a bed made from this kind of wood would be very sturdy once finished, and that it's enough for one person to sleep on. At that time, I had just taken over the palace affairs...
"I'm not familiar with many things, and I didn't dare to ask the Empress Dowager, so I had to grope in the dark on my own. Now I have caused a huge disaster and nearly injured the Emperor. I deserve death!"
Saying this, the Empress didn't care if there were people present, nor did she care about her dignity anymore.
She just knelt there and kept kowtowing!
Zhao Junyao's eyebrows were tightly furrowed as he coldly watched the Empress, not telling her to rise.
