Irritated at being disturbed, the Empress Dowager who was leisurely savoring tea, slightly furrowed her eyebrows and looked over, "Others may panic, but you–having been by my side for so many years–how can you be so reckless?"
She placed her teacup unhappily on the table, carefully wiped the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief, and then spoke languidly, "Well, what is it? What's happened to make you so frantic?"
The person before her was her confidante, Sister Liang. Sister Liang appeared panicked, her voice still carrying a hint of breathlessness, clearly having rushed over as soon as she received the news.
"Your Majesty, Sister Li has, she's been dealt with by His Majesty, in the name of conspiring against the Noble Consort!"
"Thud"—
The Empress Dowager's movements slightly froze, she slowly narrowed her eyes and looked over, seemingly not quite catching what was said, "What did you say?"
