Empress Wei looked at Gao He, drawing her cloak closer around her chest, "Yu Yan, assist me to Yong Men Palace."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Yu Yan maintained her usual expression, aiding her as they followed Steward Gao He to Yong Men Palace.
Inside Yong Men Palace, in the resting chamber where Emperor Xuan resided, there were actually several concubines present.
Most notably, even Noble Consort Bing, who usually never left her quarters, was unexpectedly there.
The other concubines present were Consort Xian, Xiang Pin, Wen Pin, and the recently favored Qi Zhaoyi and Jing Zhaohua.
Upon seeing Empress Wei, they quickly lowered their heads and nodded towards her, "We pay our respects to the Empress, long live the Empress!"
They spoke in unison, without a single mistake.
The Empress looked over everyone, and only then said, "Rise. I greet The Emperor, wishing him eternal peace."
"Empress, do you truly wish for my eternal peace?"
