In the Eastern Palace.
As expected, Qu Yingrong came to the Crown Prince's residence.
Huangfu He had just finished his dinner. Usually, he would be reading in his study to calm his mind at this time, but he was not in the mood to read today. He stood in the courtyard and looked up at the night sky.
That expression was a little lonely, causing Qu Yingrong's expression to become a little gloomy.
However, that emotion quickly disappeared as she walked toward Huangfu He.
Seeing her approach, Huangfu He turned around and bowed with clasped hands, "Your son pays respects to the Empress Mother."
"Yes." Qu Yingrong went straight to the main hall with Huangfu He following behind her. Once inside, Qu Yingrong dismissed all the servants and attendants.
Seated in the main position, she fixed her eyes on Huangfu He and said sternly, "Look at you, the esteemed Crown Prince, wallowing in sorrow here. What kind of progress is this?"
