章 1127: Chapter 1129 Chu Hai's Origin_1

Diao Yao wanted to say no, but she was stopped by Bai Ruozhu with a look, as refusing now would only complicate matters further.

Seeing that Diao Yao did not even know to thank for the grace bestowed upon her, Imperial Concubine Liu grew even angrier. However, she couldn't find any justification for her feelings and could only respectfully bid her farewell to Empress Dowager with a bow.

After Imperial Concubine Liu left, the Empress Dowager said with a displeased face, "The Liu Family is becoming more and more presumptuous."

Diao Yao didn't understand what was going on, and she didn't dare to join the conversation. Bai Ruozhu, naturally, would not join in either. The state of affairs in the court was indeed not good. Previously, those with intentions had been observing, until Prince Duan jumped out. Although he ended in failure, other ambitious ones also began to stir.
