The major matter Ling Hua mentioned was naturally the one the Empress Dowager discussed with her about Consort Duan that day. With her good memory, she relayed the words of the Empress Dowager to Xiao Zhen without missing a detail.
Xiao Zhen listened quietly, not interrupting midway. From start to finish, apart from initially being somewhat shocked when he learned about Consort Duan's origins from Ling Mountain, his expression remained calm without any fluctuations.
After Ling Hua finished speaking, she took a large sip of water to moisten her throat. Seeing that Xiao Zhen stayed silent, she asked, "What do you think..."
Xiao Zhen lowered his eyes, "There's nothing much to say."
Ling Hua sighed. Yes, if you put yourself in Xiao Zhen's shoes, there's really not much to say. At most, it's finally knowing about this matter.
Blame the Emperor for being harsh on him? Or blame Consort Duan for abandoning him? Or blame fate for being unfair? None of it matters.
