Zhi'er noticed Fu Xiru's understanding nature.
She couldn't help but say, "Thank you, Empress, for your understanding."
Things had come to this point, she had to go along with it, admitting that she and Feng Fuce were just a palace Servant and guard secretly meeting because they couldn't resist their feelings.
Fu Xiru said, "You may leave now."
Zhi'er and Feng Fuce stood still, unmoving.
The Chief Palace Servant urged, "The Lady told you to leave, why aren't you going?"
Zhi'er licked her lips and said, "I... oh no, this servant doesn't want to go back to the Cold Palace."
The Chief Palace Servant was shocked, "You actually ran away from the Cold Palace!"
She anxiously looked at the Empress and whispered, "Lady, in that case, we must drive them away."
"Running away from the Cold Palace is a serious crime. If Princess Consort Liang finds out, she'll definitely speak ill of you in front of the Emperor!"
Fu Xiru remained fixed on Zhi'er.
