Chapter 232: You're Not Worthy!

In Lady Chang's eyes, Xiao Jinyan was not the type to disregard etiquette and propriety, even if Xiao Jinyan didn't wish for herself to become the Crown Princess, she would not joke about the face of the Royal Clan.

The Emperor and Empress were both waiting in the Jinluan Hall, so Xiao Jinyan dared not do anything that defied the Emperor's orders.

Xiao Jinyan must have been delayed by something; that was why she was late.

Lady Chang comforted herself with this thought.

At this moment, in the Crown Prince's chambers

Eunuch De and Eunuch Li, both old servants in the palace, had been urging the Crown Prince to rise early since the predawn hours, but they were intercepted by Liu Xi.

"Your Highness has been working on cases all night, busy to the point of confusion, without even time for a drink. Just now, he took a brief rest. The eunuchs should wait a little longer."
