Empress Yuan did not act according to the plan, but still, an incident occurred.
On one hand, she felt uneasy; on the other hand, she was relieved that she hadn't acted.
As long as there was no evidence tying her to the incident, it would surely fall to her for investigation.
The results of the investigation were entirely within her control.
If she could handle it herself, why let a young girl point fingers?
That was her thought, but the emperor's reaction was beyond her expectations.
Facing her righteous indignation, the emperor's expression seemed to darken further. He looked at her coldly, watching until Empress Yuan couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty?"
"The Crown Princess Consort used to stay at Lizheng Hall for a quarter of an hour before leaving. From July 20th, she changed to staying for half an hour. Why?"
Empress Yuan shivered unexpectedly: "She…"
She just consumed one more plate of dim sum.
