The imperial study was quite a distance away from Grand Phoenix Palace. He had just come back, and now his old and feeble legs had to carry him there again?
Zhao Qian was reluctant. "Her Highness must have already gone to bed…"
"What if she hasn't? Go and see, and if she's still awake, tell her," Long Yang commanded domineeringly.
Zhao Qian was close to tears.
He had no idea why his master refused to go over tonight.
He had been so proactive last night.
He even threw away his dignity just to see the Empress bathe.
Why was he suddenly so reserved tonight?
Zhao Qian was bemused.
Despite his reluctance, he did not dare to defy his master's orders and could only resign himself to taking another trip.
However, it was destined to be a fool's errand.
When he arrived, the doors of Grand Phoenix Palace were already locked, and he could not enter at all.
