She had never seen her aunt like this before. Her murderous gaze made her stand still, unable to move, and her neck involuntarily shrank back.
Seeing her like this, the Empress made no attempt to hide her disdain. "Alright, thankfully nothing went wrong today. Go to the side hall and check on the injuries of the Lin family's daughter."
The Empress felt that even looking at her made her eyes hurt, so she decided to send her away instead.
Upon learning that she could leave, Li Minjun felt a great sense of relief. She took a deep breath and then excused herself from the Empress's palace.
Lin Xue injured her ankle, and the imperial physician has gone to the side hall to treat her, accompanied by Madam Lin.
As Li Minjun entered the side hall, she saw the imperial physician instructing Madam Lin on precautions regarding Lin Xue's injuries.
Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to her, she quickly walked to Lin Xue's side, sat down on the edge of the soft couch, and questioned her.

Before Li Minjun came, she considered several possibilities, but the one she didn't expect was that besides them, there was someone else who wanted to harm Lu Qiqi.
This reminded her of the assassination attempt that occurred a few days ago when an assassin broke into the Marquis of Lin'an's residence.
For a moment, Li Minjun wished Lu Qiqi had died that night, so that no one would compete with her for the Prince of Libei.
A ruthless glint flashed in Li Minjun's eyes. "She's lucky this time!"
However, it was not easy to get her into the palace.
