"Yes, that's the right thing to do. This matter must not be revealed."
"Since we don't know who it is, let's put Junli's marriage on hold for now, and all noblewomen with daughters of marriageable age should stay away."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The emperor thought about it again and couldn't help but feel puzzled.
"Didn't Lady Lin go to the palace yesterday? Why didn't you tell me?"

We can only meet them once they enter the palace.
