Eunuch Lü's face darkened further: "It seems Lord Zu has completely forgotten his promise to the Empress." Zu An: "..."
He then realized that he had indeed said he would take some time to visit the Empress.
However, I completely forgot about it last night while enjoying the warmth of family at the Sang family home.
Moreover, Chu Chuyan had come again today, so he had no time to go see the Empress. He said with a forced smile, "Too many unexpected things have happened these past two days, so I've been delayed. I will definitely find an opportunity to apologize to the Empress another day."
"I would prefer you to do it another day," Eunuch Lü said, giving him a long, meaningful look. "But there's no need for you to worry, Lord Zu. Her Majesty has already returned to the palace and is coming to see you in person. She's waiting for you now. Or perhaps you could have Her Majesty come to find you?"
Zuan: "..."
What a joke! No matter how she makes Liu Ning kneel and call her "father" in private, on the surface she is still the mother of the nation. If she were to personally meet a minister and others in the palace saw it, she would receive countless impeachments.
"I'll trouble Eunuch Lü to lead the way," Zu'an said. Openly offending the Empress would indeed have endless consequences, so he should deal with it for now.
They followed her all the way to the Empress's palace, noticing that there were significantly fewer eunuchs and maids around, clearly having been sent away.
As you walk further in, you arrive at the inner palace, where eunuchs and palace maids have vanished.
A refreshing fragrance wafted over. Zuan could only smell rose as the main note, which seemed to be mixed with other precious perfumes. The fragrance was strong and passionate, just like the queen herself.

"I understand, you may leave." The Empress's languid voice rang out. Through the beaded curtain, one could see that she was reclining on a soft couch, wearing a shimmering dress inlaid with tiny gemstones and jade, making her radiant.
However, compared to her perfect figure, this bejeweled dress was not so eye-catching.
Especially the seemingly transparent material, which further accentuated the breathtaking curves of the waist and hips.
"Yes~" Eunuch Lü was a little annoyed, but he didn't dare to show anything. He just glanced at Zu An with envy.
After the door closed, Zu An bowed and said, "Greetings, Your Majesty."
"Oh dear, I dare not accept such praise. Do you even still regard me as your empress?" The empress sneered, clearly quite displeased.
Anger from Liu Ning: +745 +745 +745...
Zuan was also startled; this woman was already so angry.
Before the other party could react, he spoke up first: "Your Majesty, you can't blame me for this. The Emperor has already suspected us and has even sent Eunuch Wen to investigate."
"What?" The Empress was so frightened that she sat up instantly, causing a surge of emotion.
