After a moment of silence, she eventually said nothing, only gave a faint smile, then turned and left.
It wasn't until her footsteps could no longer be heard that Shang Ruyi managed to catch her breath, and Tushere and Lei Yu had already rushed in from outside.

Shang Ruyi gave a weak smile and said, "The Empress of such stature, why would she trouble me?"
Only then did Tushere let go of the worry that had been on her mind for so long.
Lei Yu, sitting nearby, looked at her and said heavily, "Are you sure?"
