Upon hearing this, an even more relaxed and composed expression settled on Shen Ningning's round little face.
With a demeanor that was neither humble nor arrogant, she said, "Well then, what an unfortunate coincidence. I'm also rushing out of the palace to save the people of the realm, a matter far more urgent than Consort Rong's prayers."
A chill entered Ye Shangyi's voice. "You're going to save the people? Who do you think you're fooling?"
Only then did Shen Ningning lift the curtain, giving her a sidelong glance with her limpid eyes. "What? Do you happen to have supplies to aid everyone?"
Ye Shangyi choked on her words. The flood of complaints she was about to voice was suddenly caught in her throat, leaving her speechless.
Just then, the Emperor's Chief Eunuch saw Shen Ningning's floral carriage come to a halt from a distance.
He hurried over. "Commandery Princess, you haven't left the palace yet. Is there anything you need?"
