The Empress looked up at the sound of a voice and saw Su Xinyi's expression ease slightly, "Get up and sit down to talk."
Su Xinyi rose and took her seat, looking at the Empress with concern, "Mother, are you alright?"
The Empress scoffed and said to Su Xinyi, "Of course I'm well. If I were not, wouldn't I be letting people bully me?"
Su Xinyi had not expected the Empress to be so angry this time, and wondered what Noble Consort Li had done to upset her so much. Thinking to herself, she said, "I was shocked to hear the news and hurried over immediately. Seeing that you are safe and sound also allows me to breathe a sigh of relief."
The Empress rubbed her forehead and looked at Su Xinyi, "I actually didn't want to trouble you with a visit, but I really do have something to ask you, which is the only reason I've asked you to come."
With a serious demeanor, Su Xinyi said, "Mother, please ask whatever you wish."
