Bab 54: Bad news comes in threes 2

 Imperial palace 

"Your highness, Master Shi and the first master has been arrested!"

"WHAT!!" Imperial Consort Shi slapped her hands on the chaise and sat forward. "What happened! How can a normal court session end like this!"

The little eunuch didn't respond he kowtowed, hurrying his head between his hands. He was familiar with the Imperial consort's temper and didn't want to be here anymore. Imperial Consort Shi never understood the saying of don't shoot the messenger, he silently prayed that the ground would open and swallow him.

Working for the royal family was risky, especially when you worked with a consort as deadly as Imperial consort Shi. One wrong mood could end with your death, the little eunuch shivered while praying silently.

Meanwhile, the imperial consort kicked the maid massaging her feet away with force and stood. She called her court lady "court Lady Yang please find out what is going on".
