After leaving the house, Su Xiaoxiao picked up the hot alms bowl on the stone table and left the house with the Grand Empress Dowager.
Su Xiaoxiao walked in front. The Grand Empress Dowager followed wordlessly and didn't give any orders. Neither did she ask Su Xiaoxiao to send her back to the palace.
Was this not a solution?
Was she going home with her?
This was the Empress Dowager…
Su Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and stopped in her tracks. She turned to look at her.
In the palace, although she did not order people around, she carried her identity as the Empress Dowager and gave off a cold, distant, and high-and-mighty feeling.
It was unknown if she had been too frightened, but her face was slightly pale, making her look weak and pitiful.
Su Xiaoxiao asked, "Shall I… send you back to the palace now?"
The Empress Dowager fell silent again.
Fine, she most likely sneaked out.
