The Empress Dowager's methods are far inferior to those of the late Emperor.
Back when the late Emperor forcibly pushed Liu Mianmian into the palace, he did so by leveraging the fates of the Duke Residence and Marquis Huaiyuan Residence as hostages. And now, the Empress Dowager seeks to force Wei Shu into compliance with just these ministers?
Naive!
As Su Luo was thinking this, she heard the Empress Dowager asking Wei Shu, "Emperor, what do you think?"
"Very well. I think Miss Lin's beauty and talent make her suitable for the Inner Palace!"
Su Luo was stunned.
Liu Mianmian, who had been watching silently all along, showed a flash of astonishment in her gaze. After casting Wei Shu a glance, she lowered her head and walked over to Su Luo, standing by her side.
The Empress Dowager also froze.
She hadn't expected things to go so smoothly.
After a brief pause, she added, "Then what rank does the Emperor plan to confer upon her?"
She was worried Wei Shu might play tricks.
