Ming Mei nodded, "Yes, it's really unfortunate."
As they exchanged words, the maid brought in someone. It was the new female secretary of Beitang Qing, dressed in a coffee-colored tailored trench coat, her hair styled up, silver-rimmed glasses adding a touch of intellect to her appearance. Although she'd gotten a bit wet coming in from outside, she looked neat and composed, not at all disheveled.
She was much more polite than her predecessor, bowing deeply upon meeting Ou Yinghan.
Then she said, "Queen, His Majesty is visiting abroad tomorrow. Because it's raining heavily today, he won't be returning tonight. His Majesty sent me to inform you."
Ou Yinghan's expression remained unchanged, she replied calmly, "Alright, noted. Please take good care of His Majesty..."
The female secretary: "Understood. Then I'll take my leave."
The female secretary stepped back a few paces and exited.
Ming Mei was puzzled, "Beitang Qing is visiting abroad? Why didn't I hear about this earlier?"
