"Tell the Empress Dowager, this son is unfilial, but if Her Majesty does not understand the rules of the imperial harem, she should read the palace regulations a few more times." The Fourth Master snorted and flung his sleeve as he entered the inner chamber.
Fu Xin was sweating profusely, not daring to say a word more, and hurriedly excused himself and left.
As soon as he stepped out, he staggered and almost fell.
Fortunately, Xiao Tingzi supported him: "Brother Fu, slow down."
Fu Xin nodded and smiled, but his face was very pale. He was worried about how to convey these words when he returned. No matter how he said it, the Empress Dowager would surely be enraged, right?
What if the Empress Dowager came over again later?
The Noble Consort is ill; if the Empress Dowager disturbs her, His Majesty will be angry again.
Moreover, what if the Fifth Prince gets frightened again from being startled?
