After a while, the Empress took her leave, as expected, without mentioning taking away Consort Rui.
This matter could be explained in two ways.
Either she couldn't be bothered to care, leaving her to her own fate.
Or... it was intentional to leave her, allowing her to serve His Majesty, perhaps she'll have a chance to share His Majesty's bed?
Just as Consort Rui was about to announce her departure, Ye Zao smiled and said, "It's been some days since we've seen each other, Sister Rui. Are you well?"
"Thank you, Lady, for your concern. I'm well," Consort Rui dared not mention leaving now, lest she appeared thoughtless?
"Consort Rui, being close with the Empress, it's rare to see you two together. Now that the Empress is well, it's good fortune, you should visit her often," Ye Zao said intentionally.
At this time, she sat opposite His Majesty, casually sipping tea.
The Fourth Master slightly curled his lips, realizing that the Little Fox was up to her tricks again.
