Creak!
The door of the Imperial Study Room opened, and Ye Hongxue, accompanied by Chu Xin and Chu Chen, stepped inside.
Chu Xin and Chu Chen looked around curiously, spotting a large desk in the center where a woman dressed in a Dragon Robe was seated, her head bowed reading a book.
After a glance, the siblings turned their heads to look at the dark area not far behind the woman.
"Sister, it looks like someone is there. Is she trying to ambush the Empress?"
Chu Chen tugged at Chu Xin's sleeve and whispered.
"Probably."
Chu Xin tilted her head, thought for a moment, then nodded and spoke.
"Should we warn the Empress?"
Chu Chen hesitated for a moment before asking.
"This…"
Chu Xin hesitated as well, but finally, she shook her head.
The Empress had oppressed their mother, she was an enemy; they couldn't warn her.
"Okay."
Chu Chen nodded and took another look at the dark area.
