Oh! She understands. This matter must be too serious, so the Empress can't worry about anything else and has to go to His Majesty right now.
"Yes, Your Highness, I will change your clothes right away." Xiao Su immediately changed Wan Ge's clothes.
But when Xiao Su was combing Wan Ge's hair, she suddenly noticed that something was wrong with Wan Ge's face.
Actually, she should have noticed when Wan Ge woke up, but as a servant, she shouldn't look directly at the Empress's face, so she kept her head down. Almost all the palace maids did the same.
So she combed her hair and got closer, and only after seeing it clearly again did Xiao Su dare to confirm that the other half of the Empress's cheek seemed slightly swollen: "Your Majesty, your face?"
"It's alright, we'll cover it up a bit later." Actually, most of it has already subsided, but some swelling is still unavoidable.
"Yes." Xiao Su didn't dare to say anything. She silently finished combing her hair, used powder to slightly cover Wan Ge's slightly swollen face, and then followed her to the Imperial Study.
…
The emperor, who was discussing matters with his ministers, was suddenly interrupted by a message from his eunuch: "Your Majesty, the Empress is kneeling on the snow outside the Imperial Study and is still kowtowing."
When Emperor Ye Zhaobai heard his father-in-law say this, his face darkened for a moment, but he quickly returned to normal, so quickly that no one except Shu Qingmu noticed.
Ye Zhaobai's hands were clenched tightly inside his sleeves. What exactly did the Empress want to do? Was she not afraid of death?
Ye Zhaobai put on a worried look, told the others to wait in the Imperial Study for a moment, and then rushed out.
One of the ministers sighed, "A wicked empress has brought ruin to the country."
Another minister reminded him, "Lord Su, be careful with your words."
Shu Qingmu slightly curled his lips. A demon empress? Ha, he really thought the emperor and empress were deeply in love. That empress was probably just a tool.
This young emperor's mind is perhaps deeper than he imagined; his acting is so good that he even fooled him.
…
Ye Zhaobai soon saw Wan Ge kneeling on the snow. She was dressed in a rather plain color today, and a palace maid beside her was holding an umbrella and trying to persuade her to get up.
Wan Ge remained kneeling there without saying a word until she saw him come out: "My brother must be innocent. Please, Your Majesty, investigate thoroughly."
Ye Zhaobai didn't speak, but walked over to her and squatted down. On the surface, he said, "Your Majesty, please get up. Don't worry, since he is your brother, I will definitely find out the truth. But now all the evidence has been presented, and Minister Ji... he's confused."
But after saying this, Ye Zhaobai warned her in her ear as he helped her up: "Go back to me immediately, or you won't want to know the consequences."
After Ye Zhaobai finished speaking, he patted Wan Ge's head with a smile and said, "Wan Ge, be good. Go back now. I will investigate further."
Wan Ge stood quietly without saying a word, while Ye Zhaobai turned and left.
Xiao Su's tone was filled with surprise: "Your Majesty, since His Majesty has said so, he should help the young general investigate the matter thoroughly. Let's go back now."
Wan Ge shook her head: "Xiao Su, you're too naive."
After saying this, Wan Ge knelt down on the snow again.
It wasn't until the ministers from the Imperial Study came out that this continued.
