Quitting (3)

Thinking of the Imperial Consort's recent instructions, an impulse surged in Lady Yu's heart again.

Her adopted brother, Master Guo, had been executed three days ago.

Even if she could leave this place after 20 days, with Zhang Shi here, she would not be able to regain her former glory.

Without her adopted brother's help, there would be no place for her in the harem.

Moreover, since she had reported the matter, the Emperor did not pursue responsibility for the time being.

However, when he recovered and investigated the matter of the Life Essence Pill, it was inevitable that he would vent his anger on her. At that time, how would she save herself?

Looking at Emperor Yan, who was gradually calming down, and Zhang Shi, who was still hugging Emperor Yan and crying, a sinister glint flashed across Lady Yu's eyes.

Climbing up from the ground, Lady Yu left the hall and asked the palace servants guarding outside to bring hot water.
