Bab 982: Seeking the Truth

Rong Xiaotian covered his mouth with his hand and coughed weakly.

I originally did not want to drink it, but the head palace maid beside the empress had a glib tongue and said that the empress had suffered a lot. She also said that it had been a long time since I had gone over to live with the empress, so I felt bad and drank that bowl of soup."
