"Don't blame yourself; blame others. After all, you know my archery skills."—Empress Quotes • Part Six
The encounter with a strange man was quickly forgotten by Shen Jingxian.
She had more important things to do: coaxing someone.
Originally, Shen Jingxian ran so fast so that Wen Ranchen wouldn't find out that the man had touched her, but who would have thought... someone with a loose tongue still betrayed her.
Upon reflection, her life as an empress was really tragic. How could she become so frightened from just being touched by a man; it reminded her of her father...
Oh well, her father, ever since dismissing the harem, would also be on edge if another woman touched him, afraid he'd be sent to sleep in the study at night.
Shen Jingxian pondered: So, did she inherit this from her father? Is that normal?
Regardless of whether it was normal, seeing Wen Ranchen's hurt expression looking at her, Shen Jingxian knew that tonight wouldn't be easily settled.
What a mess.
