Indeed, he saw the letter, which Li Shengan handed to him.
"Emperor, Lady Ying Qiu from Xifu Palace has been kneeling outside since early in the morning!"
"Holding a letter in her hand, she says their Mistress acknowledges her mistake!"
"This servant..." Li Shengan was also conflicted.
He dared not guess the Emperor's attitude. He felt he could neither push the matter forward nor ignore it. So, he was trembling with apprehension!
Zhao Junyao took the letter and glanced at it. It was indeed Noble Concubine Shih's handwriting. Then… he set it aside.
"You may leave now!"
Having spoken, he pulled out a memorial and began reviewing it. Officials entered the Imperial Study Room from time to time, and the Emperor was bustling about. Everything was just as usual.
Outside, Li Shengan waited with a heavy heart, but in the end, the Emperor never looked at the letter.
