At least in matters of state, Ying Ji has always been dedicated and responsible, never displaying the slightest negligence.
Hearing the footsteps, Ying Ji put down the carving knife in her hand and, through the faint candlelight, looked at the upright figure of the young man behind the beaded curtain, her brows slightly furrowed and said:
"I heard some days ago Ying Xiu caused a bit of trouble in the National Governance Hall?"
Though she hasn't left the palace, as the Empress of Central Netherworld, how could she be completely unaware of Ying Xiu's actions.
Not to mention, when Ying Xiu ascended the steps, the heart-wrenching call of 'Mother' truly reached Ying Ji.
At that time, Ying Ji was suffering from a turmoil of the mind. Ying Xiu causing such a commotion indeed made her secretly endure a hardship.
Originally, given Ying Xiu's nature, one would think she would persist relentlessly to escalate the chaos, but nothing further happened.
