The young Confucian Scholar's lips twitched.
Well, if you want to tacitly ignore this as if nothing happened, that's fine. But continuing to argue stubbornly is pointless. It makes it seem as if it's my fault, as if I shouldn't be saying these things in front of you, as if you're afraid of sullying your ears...
Zhao Rong thought for a moment, then turned and said earnestly:
"I have several doubts."
"What doubts?"
"The Empress Dowager, with her body worth its weight in gold, has every aspect of her life managed by palace attendants with strict supervision. This old Beauty Couch should also be unavoidably inspected by the inner palace maidens, since it's a place the Empress Dowager frequently lies. How could it be that after the inspection, this hidden compartment was overlooked?"
Dugu Chanyi was left speechless.
Zhao Rong continued to blink and said, "Besides, the location of this Beauty Couch... quite convenient, isn't it?"
