When the emperor entered Consort Shen's courtyard, servants looked at him quite shocked.
They didn't expect the emperor to visit the consort. Wasn't the imperial noble consort holding the Emperor's attention firmly?
Shen Nian Zhen was laying in the bed and resting. The emperor didn't demand her to greet him and even dismissed her salutations when she tried to perform them.
"Your majesty, the empress went out after accompanying back this consort," Shen Nian Zhen told Jiang Yu when the emperor didn't see the person he was seeking.
Truth be told, Wei Yi Yi was only using Shen Nian Zhen condition as an excuse. Seeing as it was nothing major, Wei Yi Yi kicks her conscience away and took advantage of the situation.
If she wanted, Wei Yi Yi could easily do her vanishing act. But if she really did ignore the orders of her superior blatantly, only the gods know how harsh she would be reprimanded.
She doesn't want to wait nor follow Boss around! She refused to be a chaperone, alright?!
