Chapter 224: It's a Shame You're Not Involved in Palace Intrigue

Shen Chuwei stood in front of the round dining table, her eyes automatically glanced at the steaming dishes on the table. Chun Xi, that girl, must have added salt, right?

Xiao Jinyan hurried to the dining table and sat down, seeing Shen Chuwei still standing, he asked her to sit down as well.

Xiao Jinyan, looking at the food in front of him, wasn't in a hurry to start eating even though he was a bit hungry by now. Instead, he lifted his head to look at Shen Chuwei and cut straight to the point, "The visit to the Hehuan Hall by Concubine Xu today, was there something amiss?"

Shen Chuwei hesitated, unsure if speaking out would impact Concubine Xu negatively, after all, she too had been deceived.

Accusations of seeking a child and fabricating a pregnancy to gain favor were indeed grave.

"Your Highness, Concubine Xu did have some matters, but they have all been resolved," she said.
