On the way, they passed by Green Forest Pavilion, where Lin Zhaoyuan happened to be at the entrance. After hearing about the matter, she also came over.
Upon seeing Mi Shan's face, Lim So-won couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
"No wonder His Majesty bestowed upon you the title of Jieyu upon seeing you, sister; you are indeed beautiful as a flower and as beautiful as the moon."
After speaking, he secretly observed the Empress's expression.
The Empress stood there, stunned, staring at Consort Mi's face for a long time, seemingly greatly shocked.
Consort Liu couldn't help but chuckle to herself, thinking that the Empress was too jealous to speak.

Empress Rouci's expression changed drastically.
"Don't worry, Consort Mi. In the six palaces under my jurisdiction, such a thing has happened. You were harmed on your very first day in the palace. I will definitely find out who the murderer is and get justice for you."
