Kapitel 507: If Only I Knew

Li Xueyue did not bat an eye when Lady Ge Beining was dragged to the Cold Palace, naked and all. Lady Ge Beining had kicked and screamed until eventually, she accepted the defeat that came her way.

Li Xueyue was more concerned about Yu Zhen's absence. When she was being dressed, he had informed her that he would distract the Empress from coming here. He had stalled enough time for her to have Lady Ge stripped. But where exactly was Yu Zhen? 

"Are you satisfied now?"

Li Xueyue spun on her heels. She was met with the cold, stoic voice of the Empress. The Empress's lips thinned into a line, and she seemed disappointed with Xueyue.

"Satisfied that I've caused a ruckus, Your Grace?" Li Xueyue responded. She peered over her shoulders, in the direction where Lady Ge was dragged off to.

"Yes, not only have you caused trouble before the entire palace, I'm certain the townspeople waiting in the streets will be restless and confused."
