"Right? Right? And now, after all these seven years, the Crown Prince has never left the Imperial Palace and has always been by Ruanruan's side, assisting her with all sorts of matters. Your Majesty, in my opinion, there's definitely more to their relationship," the Empress guessed, stroking her chin. But soon after, a hint of distress appeared on her face, "If what the servants say is true, and a concubine has appeared beside Ruanruan, what will our Crown Prince do after he hears this news?"
"That brat isn't going to lose his mind and go kill the man with a sword, is he?" The Emperor was suddenly startled, and he became visibly flustered.
"This concubine doesn't know either, let's wait and see tomorrow," she said.
Meanwhile, the news had spread among the concubines in the harem.
Su Zhiruan's four children were playing in the harem with the concubines, who were talking amongst themselves, leaving the four children to their own devices.
