The Empress pursed her lips and avoided his gaze.
Turning her head, she then realized that the Pei Family had quietly left without her noticing, leaving just the three of them in the courtyard.
She sighed, stepped down from the carriage, and pointed inside the courtyard, saying, "Since we've come, let's go inside and talk."
On the other side of the wall, Fu Zhen watched the family of three enter the hall, and then glanced at Pei Yu and his wife along with Pei Zhan beside him.
No one spoke for a moment.
Finally, they exchanged a look, and everyone boarded their respective carriages, sitting quietly and waiting.
After all, the three most important people in Great Zhou were in the courtyard, how could any mishap be allowed?
The moon rose from the east, illuminating the earth. Occasionally, distant barks and meows could be heard, but gradually the sounds became sparse and finally returned to silence, with only the occasional sound of the wind.
