She was utterly shocked, completely bewildered as to how Zuan had managed to do it.
Zhao Hao is widely recognized as the number one person in the world. With his divine sense fully extended, he could see and hear everything that happened in the entire capital. However, he usually doesn't waste his mental energy like this.
But at such close range, even if he didn't actively activate his divine sense, Zu'an, who was hiding in the cabinet, should have been discovered long ago.
Zuan, who was in the cabinet, was overjoyed. The keyboard system's skills were still the most reliable. Dark invisibility allowed him to become completely invisible in complete darkness, while also concealing his presence. Even the emperor couldn't sense him.
At this moment, Zhao Hao's voice came: "Why is your body trembling so violently? Are you afraid of me?"
Towards the end, it even carried a hint of sarcasm.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The Empress sneered inwardly. All these years she had said nice things, but if she had really been doing her best to help her find the right person, how could there not have been any progress?
Ultimately, a queen whose cultivation had been destroyed was what suited his interests best.
Fortunately, I've already found a way to save myself, so I don't need his pretense anymore.
“You’re always like this,” Zhao Hao seemed to sense the perfunctory tone in her voice and couldn’t help but feel annoyed. He seemed about to explode, but in the end he held back. “Fine, you have grievances about what happened back then, I don’t blame you.”
Zuan's gossip instincts kicked in. What exactly happened back then that made someone as arrogant and domineering as Zhao Hao submit to a woman?
