Shadow stared at her and then looked away. He held the red wine glass and reminded her coldly, "The elders of the Privy Council are waiting for you. Do you still want to get to know them?"
Ji Ziyin pursed her lips as her eyes flickered.
Making a decision, she looked up again. "The Empress personally pulled the strings for me. How can I let her down?"
Shadow pursed his lips to hide his disdain and strode forward. "Yes, let's go."
He led the way.
Ji Ziyin took the opportunity to send Ji Xiao a message, asking him to help her delay for two more days. He was to tell them she was sick and could not go back for now.
Seeing the message had been sent successfully, Ji Ziyin narrowed her eyes and followed Shadow into the venue.
This time, it was a banquet personally organized by the Empress. Many members of the upper echelons had come.
