Hearing his words, Qi Yu slightly furrowed her brows.
From Zhou Fu's implication, it was inevitable that the Empress had woven some tale to Li Tianze, angering him.
And this fury was very likely directed at her.
She coughed lightly and said to Zhou Fu, "Please wait a moment, I will change into a different outfit."
Zhou Fu naturally agreed.
Qi Yu returned to her room and, while asking Chunlan to find her a more presentable outfit, ordered the Hidden Guard of the residence to summon Shi Zhou.
The Empress didn't have many leverage points over her, and after much thought, there was only this one.
By the time Shi Zhou arrived, she had changed her clothes and even put her hair up into a bun, styling it properly into a hairdo.
Worry painted Chunlan's face, but she didn't dare to say anything.
Qi Yu, on the other hand, smiled and comforted her, "It's just a trip to the palace, nothing will happen."
A forced smile appeared on Chunlan's face as she watched her walk towards the door.
