"Your Majesty?"
The Empress Dowager asked in surprise when she saw Emperor Wu Su also rise to his feet.
'Emperor Wu Su appeared in Cining Palace right after the morning court session. Wasn't it to discuss Ji Bo Lian's case with me?'
'Why is he leaving now that Princess Consort Wei and the other Concubines have gone?'
The Empress Dowager was now completely at a loss as to why the Emperor had come.
Unable to sit still, the Empress Dowager also rose, her tone anxious as she took the initiative to ask, "Your Majesty, is there something else you came here for?"
Old Madam Ji and Mrs. Qiao also gazed earnestly at the Emperor, hoping to hear news about Mr. Ji from his own lips.
But they didn't dare to presume to ask about matters of the court, their hearts filled with unease.
Emperor Wu Su stood with his hands clasped behind his back. He didn't seem to be in a hurry to leave, but he said nothing.
For a moment, no one in the hall spoke.
