Back in her room, Soong Xuan heaved a sigh of relief.
It would be a lie to say that she was not nervous in the great hall, but Soong Xuan did not know why she had to trust Hu Xiao, who she had only met a few times.
"What did the empress say? Why didn't you come? "
She slumped down on the chair, the battle of wits today was too burdensome for Soong Xuan, and she did not want to use even a bit of strength.
"Miss, the empress said she has more important things to do, and the empress told me to send you a message that if there's an imperial edict tomorrow morning, you must receive it. The empress will always follow you."
Seeing that his young miss was affected, Soong Xuan's personal maid spoke as she helped massage the part of's ankle that was injured today.
"Yes, I understand. I'm tired, so all of you should leave first. It's different if you serve me now."
"Yes, miss."
