Ye Qichi left Xiao Jinsen's side.
Just as she was about to return to the chambers where Xiao Jinxing resided, she saw many people standing at the entrance.
Before she could approach, a familiar palace maid came over and respectfully said, "Princess, the Empress Dowager is inside discussing matters with Prince Xiao, please avoid the area for now."
So the old hag Wen Jingtang had come.
No wonder there was such a commotion.
Over the years, Wen Jingtang had stayed out of the palace affairs, seemingly devoted to Buddhism, caring only for Xiao Jinxing, and not paying much attention to anyone else.
In fact.
In the entire Imperial Palace, only Xiao Jinxing knew just how great Wen Jingtang's ambitions were.
Of course, she did too.
According to the timeline of Bai Mowan's death, Bai Mowan did not know the true nature of Wen Jingtang.
Ye Qichi turned around and left.
Alone again, wandering aimlessly within the Imperial Palace.
The Imperial Palace was truly vast.
