It was just afternoon when the scorching sun was high in the sky.
As soon as I stepped outside, I felt a wave of heat hit me.
The Empress was compelled to follow outside, only to retreat back in after.
On such a hot day, it was utterly unsuitable to go out.
The Empress looked up at her son suspiciously, "Yuyu, how did you find out about Lady Shen,"
She gestured to her stomach with her hands, "Hmm?"
Xiao Jinyu's gaze flickered evasively, "Your son, I saw it."
The Empress immediately understood, "You went to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion?"
Xiao Jinyu admitted guiltily with a nod.
The Empress said earnestly, "Yuyu, that's the inner court of the East Palace, the Crown Prince is not there, how could you, a man, enter it?"
"Mother, it was precisely because the Crown Prince brother was not in the East Palace that your son went, to prevent others from bullying Lady Shen in his absence," Xiao Jinyu spoke with a justified and forceful tone.
