"This consort Bai has seen the emperor." Bai Ruozhu gave her respects to the emperor and then stood aside.
The emperor asked about Consort Yue's condition and inquired if Bai Ruozhu suspected anyone, but Bai Ruozhu really didn't know. Even if she did have her suspicions, she dared not point fingers without evidence.
"Take good care of Consort Yue. There will be great rewards for you," the emperor said in a very calm tone, but Bai Ruozhu still saw a trace of concern in his eyes. It appeared the emperor did care about Consort Yue after all. It's just that an emperor could not easily show his feelings, as that wouldn't be good for him or Consort Yue.
"Yes, your servant obeys," Bai Ruozhu respectfully gave a bow, then moved aside.
The emperor glanced at Jiang Yichun, "Alright, your person has arrived. Escort her back to Cining Palace."
