Chapitre 590: An Unreasonable Empress

"I heard that you asked for a girl from the brothel. Are you following others and keeping a mistress in a splendid abode?" the empress asked casually the next day.

"Your Majesty is very well-informed!." Ren Baqian exclaimed and gave her a thumbs-up.

The empress glanced at him. Was knowing about this matter considered being well-informed?

"Back then, the people from the hidden village felt that they shouldn't be scorned by working in a place such as a brothel, so I sent her to Qingyun Sword."

"This is why I said you are harboring a mistress! You deliberately chose a place that isn't too far, yet not too close, and it's somewhere I can't be bothered with," the empress grumbled.

Ren Baqian didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Her Majesty must have watched too much television.

"She suffered several cuts on her face after being buried at House Yunyan last night. If she is disfigured, why would I still want to keep her?"
