Chapter 217: Murdered: Grandfather's Whereabouts
“That’s right. I want to give you a nice surprise.” Ye Jiuge also smiled.
“We are pleasantly surprised. Imperial Noble Consort was so happy that she wanted to come outside to welcome you personally.” Lady Hongxiu beamed.
“I do not deserve such grand treatment.” Ye Jiuge knew that Lady Hongxiu was joking, so she played along.
Ye Jiuge walked into Jinxiu Palace and saw Imperial Noble Consort Xi standing in the middle of the hall.
Although she was wearing a simple, light blue embroidered dress, her authoritative aura was not diminished. She was beyond reach as if standing high up in the clouds. She was most worthy of her Imperial Noble Consort title.
As soon as Imperial Noble Consort Xi saw Ye Jiuge, a smile instantly appeared on her face as she walked over her to greet her. She held her hand and pretended to be angry as she said, “Little heartless girl, at long last, you’ve come to see me after completing your Enclosed Cultivation.”
When Ye Jiuge heard Imperial Noble Consort Xi referring to herself as ‘me,’ she relaxed slightly. Judging from how she was acting, Imperial Noble Consort Xi hadn’t changed.
Imperial Noble Consort Xi led Ye Jiuge to the chairs. After they were seated, a hint of guilt appeared on her gorgeous face. “I am incredibly sorry about the plaque. I wanted to ask the Emperor to inscribe it with ‘Yun Residence.’ I never expected that the Emperor…”
Imperial Noble Consort Xi did not finish. She sighed.
