Noting her uneasiness, Madam Li sighed.
"Let's go."
On the way back, Madam Li pretended to say casually, "Tong'er, do you know how much the Emperor favors the Empress now?"

Unfortunately, there was no medicine for regret in this world.
The sight of her bowing her head in silence irritated Madam Li, and she could not stop herself from sounding harsh. "If you hadn't been so foolish, you could have been the one sitting on the Empress' throne now."
Li Tong'er was filled with remorse, but what was done had been done. Moreover, what could she do, now that she was a divorced woman?
"Mother, I'll do everything you say from now on." After a long moment of silence, she declared determinedly.
