Wei Yi Yi took Tang Mei for a detour at the backside of the mountain and plan to sneak back to the Luminous Courtyard before Jiang Yu could find her. In her mind, she runs different scenarios to use as excuses as to why she vanished.
The empress was strolling leisurely while kicking the stones on her path. Tang Mei hearts was pounding louder and louder as she ponders whether to voice out her thoughts.
The night was silent and only the whistling of the gentle wind accompany them from time to time.
The heaviness of the air around Tang Mei was so thick for her to breathe in. Finally, she hardens her resolves and decides to rely on their bonds to speak up.
"Empress, what exactly are you doing? Why are you pushing his majesty towards the noble consort after he finally have affections to you?" Tang Mei said with a heavy tone.
Wei Yi Yi stopped on her tracks and face her. "What are you saying, Ah Mei? The one that his majesty like is Lady Ye."
