How clever was the Empress?
Feng Yexuan had never shown much respect to her as he did to his own mother.
Tonight's visit claiming to console her was merely because he knew that Chu Qianli had been "invited" by her into the Imperial City, and he came to retrieve her.
She just hadn't expected that Feng Yexuan had already been here for two hours.
Tonight's illness was severe, especially with Hehe continuously by her side, causing her to neglect Feng Yexuan.
He claimed he came for her, but the Empress knew that if she were here tonight, making things difficult for Chu Qianli, this Prince Yexuan would have gone mad.
Didn't she care?
No, she was deeply concerned! No matter how much she pretended not to, she couldn't fool herself!
Chu Qianli was always Feng Yexuan's greatest weakness, and that weakness needed to be well maintained.
