"Yes."
Eunuch Mu hurriedly proclaimed in a loud voice, "Proceed to Kunde Palace."
"The three of you, follow me." Xiao Zhanping, assisted by Eunuch Mu, led the way.
Xiao Jinxing, Ye Qichi, and Bai Mowan followed behind.
The group arrived at Kunde Palace.
Within Kunde Palace, the Empress and the Crown Princess Consort were already on their knees, waiting to receive them.
At this moment, both of them were extremely wan and sallow.
It was evident that they were worn out from anxiety over the Crown Prince's death.
"This consort pays respect to Your Majesty."
"Empress, please rise quickly." Xiao Zhanping hurriedly stepped forward to help Yu Qingyuan up, showing his deep concern, "The death of the Crown Prince has grieved you deeply. You have grown thin; my heart aches for you."
Yu Qingyuan, after so many years in the Imperial Palace, knew all too well the hypocrisy of Xiao Zhanping.
Naturally, she would not be dismissed by a few words from him.
