Song Yunzhao didn't open the letter. She simply held it between her fingers, staring at it for a good while before coming to a conclusion. 'Zhao Ling'e must be writing home for help.'
She was asking the Zhao Family to come up with a plan. The Zhao Family had no influence in the harem, but they could still make moves in the imperial court.
'In that case, they'll probably target the Song Family.'
Song Yunzhao tsked. 'What does a villainess like me need a conscience for?' She raised her voice and called for Zhang Maoquan. "Take this letter to Taixi Hall. Just say I don't know how to handle it and that I'm asking His Majesty to make a ruling."
'Making the Emperor take the fall for me. Perfect.'
'I'm still a good person!'
Song Yunzhao felt much better.
Zhang Maoquan glanced at the writing on the envelope and quickly averted his eyes. 'Interesting,' he thought.
