Chương 781: Chapter 781: Crisis Everywhere! (Part Two)

It wasn't until the time of two pots of tea had passed that the four people kneeling on the ground still showed no signs of movement.

A fierce glint flashed in the Empress's eyes, followed by a look of surprise, "Eh! Who are these people kneeling below? When did they arrive, and why did I not see them? Look at yourselves, not even reminding me. Get up now."

None of the palace maids beside her spoke up or stepped forward.

"Thank you, Empress."

Liu Sisi finally stood up, her body swaying slightly as her legs were numb from kneeling for too long. Fortunately, she managed to steady herself in time.

"The Empress's admonishment is just. Just now, a few of us sisters also didn't notice an extra person down there."

A woman in a white jade dress covered her mouth with a laugh. A peony made of white jade was pinned to her head, looking truly beautiful as if the person beside the flower was more charming.
