Pale and slender fingers drew out a white outer robe and draped it over her body while Ye Shaohua fixed the belt around herself.

She glanced sideways at Duan Yunxiu, "Is Yang Ziji in a hurry?"

Her voice was clear and somewhat deep.

Heard in the ears, it was like the gentlest enchantment.

Though the robe was snow-white, which should look as cold as a lotus on Snow Mountain, Duan Yunxiu couldn’t understand why he felt the air around them grow somewhat hot and dry.

"It’s nothing," Duan Yunxiu gave her a glance, then sighed, "Not in a hurry, we’ll wait for you outside the Palace Gate."

He left, taking the door with him.

Ye Shaohua had already put on her outer robe, but did not leave. Instead, she looked towards the curtain behind the door.

"Empress Dowager, please come out," she sighed.

The Empress Dowager’s face was a mix of emotions as she emerged from behind the curtain, followed by someone holding a cup of wine in hand.

Ye Shaohua silently lowered her jaw, beginning to suspect if this could be the legendary "crimson snow"

"Ye Aiqing, I know you are young and talented," the Empress Dowager looked at her, full of sighs, "I had truly admired you and even intended to match you with the emperor’s daughter, but it was stopped by the emperor. I thought he just disliked you..."

"But now I realize it wasn’t for the benefit of Lin’an. His preventing you from marrying Lin’an had other intentions," the Empress Dowager shook her head, "The emperor is already twenty-eight, and yet the harem remains empty. Ye Aiqing, it’s okay since you’re a girl, but you just had to be... I can’t bear to let you go either, but you wouldn’t want to bear the name of a treacherous official for all eternity, would you? I also don’t wish for the emperor to become a notorious ruler."

Ye Shaohua looked at the Empress Dowager and was silent for a moment.

"I’m sorry." That was all she said, not just because of the Empress Dowager’s poisoned wine, but because the system notified her that time was up.

She gently closed her eyes and drank the cup of poisoned wine.

Meanwhile, at the Palace Gate, Yang Ziji was outside.

He looked at Duan Yunxiu strangely, "So you just went in, and didn’t see anything?"

"What could I have seen?" Duan Yunxiu looked at him faintly.

Seeing his reaction, Yang Ziji had a guess.

"Why hasn’t Shaohua come out yet?" Yang Ziji was getting impatient, "I’ll go in and check. Your Majesty, will you come?"

Duan Yunxiu thought about the scene just now and shook his head, "No need, go call the Minister over. I’ll wait here."

The relationship between the sovereign and his ministers, having been established over a long time, had nearly become like that of friends.

There was almost no regard for the etiquette between a ruler and his subjects anymore.

Yang Ziji nodded and went straight in.

"Shaohua, why aren’t you ready yet?" Unlike Duan Yunxiu, Yang Ziji had always knocked on Ye Shaohua’s door before entering for the past two years.
