Afternoon.
Ye Qichi was summoned into the palace.
When she left, Xiao Jinxing did not even spare her a glance.
Lu You, however, was sobbing inconsolably during their farewell.
Ye Qichi was taken to the Empress's sleeping palace, Fengluan Palace.
Inside Fengluan Palace.
Empress Yu Qingyuan sat at the centermost seat.
Next to her sat the Crown Princess Consort, Gao Jingyi.
Ye Qichi stepped forward to greet them, "Your servant pays respects to the Empress Mother, and to the Crown Princess Consort."
"Ye Qichi, how dare you!" The Empress was furious and lashed out at Ye Qichi, "You even dare to kill someone from my palace!"
"Empress Mother, the death of Nanny Liu was purely an accident." Ye Qichi quickly knelt down. She had no choice but to take the blame for Xiao Jinxing!
She felt somewhat aggrieved in her heart.
If she had known this would happen, she wouldn't have been lenient towards Nanny Liu back then; at least she would have felt more relieved!
