Chapter 1572: Keep Waiting II

Ah Nan trembled and bit her lip. "No, but… Today, Noble Consort Lin's body smells of perfumed powder..."

Noble Consort Lin kneeled in panic. Her beautiful face looked miserable and pitiful.

Qi Fang sighed and turned to the empress. "Empress, there must be a misunderstanding. Noble Consort Lin didn't go near Qin'er. It was not her..."
