Ye Chu spoke slowly, "If he treated you well, why would you flee the palace? Do I not know you well enough?"
Having been exposed again, the Empress had no choice but to tell the truth, "I was just stepping out for a breath of fresh air, incidentally venting a little on behalf of my daughter-in-law. You needn't worry."
Seeing that she was still not telling the truth, Ye Chu said, "Do you remember what I told you before you entered the palace?"
The Empress nodded, "Of course, I remember."
Ye Chu said, "If you are unhappy in the palace, if he bullies or disappoints you, all it takes is one word from you, and I will take you away to a place he could never find. That promise still stands."
Hearing these words again, the Empress froze.
When she first entered the East Palace, she thought countless times of leaving.
