Concubine Lan, filled with grievances, went to the Imperial Court, unaware that the Emperor was in a bad mood.
He hadn't figured out the reason for his annoyance. Was it a joke for a dignified Emperor to yearn so intensely for a concubine? The Emperor was irritable and impatient, and the palace attendants around him were often punished for the slightest mistakes. What they could usually get away with was no longer possible now. Fortunately, the master was kind-hearted, and at most, they would endure some hardships without losing their lives.
Upon entering, the first person Concubine Lan saw was Ying Lu.
He wore a smile and saluted, "Lady, you have arrived. Please wait a moment; I'll go announce your arrival."
"Thank you, Eunuch," she replied.
Tears welled up in Concubine Lan's eyes.
Ying Lu entered and bowed, "Emperor, Concubine Lan has arrived."
"What is she here for?"
The Emperor frowned.
