Even though Lin Yuan was quite curious about the matter between Yan Xiangkai and Consort Liu, after all, it was their family affair, she ultimately did not ask about it.
However, whether Yan Ruchun perceived Lin Yuan's intent or was simply expressing her own feelings, she sighed and said it anyway.
"Have you heard? Someone in the palace has been confined."
Lin Yuan was startled, knowing she meant Consort Liu, and nodded silently: "She overstepped at the palace banquet, confinement was only expected."
"Yes, she overstepped."
Yan Ruchun rubbed her fingertips around the rim of the cup, without any discernible tone.
"Just after being confined, she sent a close confidant to deliver the message out. When father received the message, he went from the study to the backyard and slept the whole day till the next morning when he arose listlessly."
Slept the whole day?
