The Empress listened quietly, and upon hearing that the Huai'an Prince Mansion sent someone to make contact, her eyes sparkled with unexpected delight.
When she heard that Zhao Douan had hunted and killed a group of supervisors led by Wang Qi, she nodded slightly; killing the supervisors and avoiding Zhao Shixiong was indeed a wise choice.
And when she learned that after Zhao Douan killed, he faced a full-scale manhunt but did the opposite, not only did he not hide, but he actively created chaos to attract the rebels' attention, secretly transported people from the prison... after a confrontation with Zhao Shixiong... the Empress's face did not show delight, but rather held a hint of anger:
"Why did you do this?"
Zhao Douan curiously asked, "Does Your Majesty think it's inappropriate? Should I not have done this?"
