The little empress looked furious and instantly rose. While she was not as tall as Li Ruoxuan, she roared angrily—like a chicken from a cockfight.
"You brought Qi Qingyao to your residence!
"State Preceptor, you've never been this attentive to any woman before! What's more, this woman has three children!!!"
He had even said something before that indicated he liked this countryside girl. In retrospect, the reason for the State Preceptor liking her… was solely because of what she was!!
Li Ruoxuan did not take her anger seriously and was very calm. "She might be. She might not be. Doesn't Her Majesty's authority rely on the intelligence from Southern Ming?"
The little empress exclaimed, "You are challenging us!"
Li Ruoxuan paused for a moment then bowed slightly. "This servant would never question Her Majesty. This servant is willing to devote himself to Northern Liang until his death!"
