"It's okay." Qu Tan'er let Jing Xin help her up.
The two followed the eunuch who had just come to summon them out of Fengyang Hall.
Qu Tan'er leaned close to Jing Xin and whispered a few words in her ear.
Jing Xin then deliberately slowed her pace, allowing Qu Tan'er to follow the eunuch ahead alone.
Exiting Fengyang Hall and heading to Taihe Palace wasn't a great distance. In about half a 'ke', they arrived.
This time, they didn't meet the Empress Dowager in the main hall but walked around it to her bedroom instead.
Inside the room, several incense burners had been lit, emitting a fragrance much stronger than usual.
"Close the door!"
The Empress Dowager, as always, sat majestically in full regalia.
However, Qu Tan'er found it amusing when she saw her.
After all, having witnessed her lose composure a few times, she could no longer revere her as a goddess.
