After leaving the Council Hall, Xue'e lightly gathered her skirt and hurried toward the Crown Prince East Palace.

No one could quite understand.

Zhuge Wansheng's brow also furrowed slightly as he looked toward Empress Wang, but seemed to pick up on something and slightly nodded, stroking his beard.
