Hu Miaomiao, having reported the news she received, asked with a smile, "I request Your Majesty's permission for this servant to meet with these people."
Her smile was as usual, not reaching her eyes, where beneath the smile hid nothing but murderous intent.

"This servant obeys the order." Hu Miaomiao didn't utter any unnecessary words at this moment. She promptly performed the ritual of retreat and scurried nimbly towards the distance.
The Emperor's expression was grave. He knew that the current court layout had reached a critical juncture; sending Hu Miaomiao wasn't wise, it would be better to send someone else.
