Although the Empress didn't particularly like Chaoyang's flamboyant personality, Chaoyang was still very polite in the palace, and out of respect for the Emperor, she was happy to tolerate him. Besides, she still felt sorry for him after he had suffered so much at the Zhou family's house.
Chaoyang laughed and said that he was afraid the Empress would be bored alone in the palace, so he should come and keep her company more often.
The Empress was very happy that Chaoyang had such a kind intention. The child was quite lovable when he was young, but he was later led astray by Bao Hui.

As time passed, watching the Empress and Xu Yan chatting happily, Wang felt a chill in her heart. She should have insisted on having Chuanhai write the divorce papers last night; even if something had happened today, it wouldn't have implicated them.
