Concubine Ya quickly shook her head, with traces of tears marking her somewhat pale face.
Even her hair was somewhat disheveled.
Clearly she had not taken good care of herself for quite a while.
She wiped her eyes, choking back her tears as she said, "I am not here for that reason."
"You're not here for the war between Great Sheng and Silla?"
"No." Concubine Ya said softly, "I am just a woman, and I only wish for a quiet and peaceful life. Having married into Great Sheng, I am a woman of Great Sheng. Matters of war are beyond my control."
Jiang Ning asked with a smile, "Did you come especially to make amends? Surely not."
"Ever since…"
Concubine Ya hesitated before mumbling, "Ever since that incident, the Emperor hasn't summoned me for a long time… I want to explain, but I can't even get a glimpse of the Emperor."
Jiang Ning was utterly shocked.
She scrutinized Concubine Ya, trying to read something from her face.
But she couldn't.
