Chapter 557 - 559: On Fire
"Since that’s the case, it is not convenient for me to keep you here any longer. I must trouble you to take care of His Majesty and exert much effort." Noble Consort Pin said with a worried expression, before waving her hand toward Shao He.
Shao He nodded, left the sleeping chamber, and cast a glance at Noble Consort Pin before departing. This Noble Consort was indeed intelligent.
She probably already knew about The Emperor’s critical illness, which is why she specifically lured her here to investigate.
Leaving the palace, Qingxia muttered, "This Noble Consort is truly extravagant. The Emperor would be furious if he knew about this."
"Why?" Shao He asked, looking puzzled at her.
Qingxia explained, "The Emperor is gravely ill at the moment, yet she is dressed so brightly. Isn’t that aggravating for The Emperor?"
"I don’t see it that way," Shao He said, "Firstly, she is not aware of The Emperor’s serious illness, and secondly, what’s wrong with a woman dressing appropriately? Those items were all bestowed upon her by The Emperor; if she doesn’t wear them now, when should she? If not now, then when?"
Qingxia was at a loss for words and could only pout and murmur quietly, "Miss is right."
As soon as Shao He returned to her quarters, she saw Eunuch Li waiting there.
Her eyebrows furrowed as she quickly walked over and asked, "What brings Eunuch Li here?"
"The Crown Princess Consort, you have finally returned. Please come with this old servant to the Imperial Study Room at once."
Eunuch Li did not have time to explain much and hurriedly led her toward the Imperial Study Room.
