Upon hearing the voice, the young emperor in the seat of honor immediately brightened up.
Xia Yixin clenched her hands. Sure enough, her premonition came true. It really might be tonight. There's no smoke without fire. There's no smoke without fire. This elixir is definitely problematic.
At this moment, the young emperor excitedly stepped down from the head of the table and helped Shen Ruyu, who was bowing.
"My beloved consort said before that she had an epiphany in Yunxiao Palace. Her sudden appearance today is a pleasant surprise to me."
