Once the Empress left the chamber, Tang Yue returned back to the Crown's quarters in the royal palace.
She broke the dwarf disguise and reverted back to her serpentine human form for now in order to not arouse any suspicions.
Even though the Empress said that this was a royal secret, she doubted how safely this particular secret would be guarded.
They already intended to kill her off, so why would they bother hiding this news?
Tang Yue sat down on her bed silently for several hours as she gazed at the orchids in the courtyard.
She didn't move or say anything. She silently gazed at the beautiful purple orchids swaying in the gentle wind.
They had no other choice but to sway in the direction of the wind. If they dared to stand against the wind, they would only get uprooted and wilt.
As Tang Yue silently sat contemplating various things in her mind, Lotte as well stood next to her, waiting for her orders.
