387 The Majesty of an Emperor (Another Chapter)_2

"The late Emperor demanded your burial as well, yet it was Noble Consort Jing who risked her life to steal the imperial decree. Noble Consort Jing treated you with all her heart and soul, but in the end, you wouldn't even part with a single Tianshan Snow Lotus for her!"

He forgot that the Tianshan Snow Lotus had long been used in his medicine.

It wasn't that the Empress Dowager was unwilling to give it; it was that she couldn't give it.

Yet she didn't explain a single word, just looked at him deeply and then turned and walked away.

With what kind of grievance and sadness did she leave at that time?

He didn't know... he knew nothing...

The moon was dark, and the wind was high.

Bishui Alley, too, fell into quietude.

Gu Jiao's lamp in the eastern room suddenly lit up.

Indeed, Gu Jiao had been feigning sleep, waiting for everyone else to fall into their dreams before stealthily rising from her bed.

The days were still somewhat hot, but the nights were quite cool.
