Just as Ye Jiuge was prepared to fight Elderly Lady Xu with all her might, the terrified voices of the palace maids and eunuchs echoed from the entrance: "Greetings to Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty!"
The Emperor had arrived!
This news stunned Elderly Lady Xu, and Ye Jiuge took the opportunity to scoop Dongfang Que in her arms and ran towards the entrance. Elderly Lady Xu would not try to kill Dongfang Que in front of the Emperor and quickly returned to the Empress's side.
The Empress glared viciously at Elderly Lady Xu before she put on a dignified and virtuous demeanor and went to welcome the Emperor.
