Ye Chutang's reply was completely unexpected, leaving Xiao Lansi momentarily speechless.
However, Ye Chutang had no desire to waste any more time. She instructed the little eunuch driving the carriage to hurry along.
"Let's go. We cannot keep His Majesty waiting."
"Yes, yes!"
Not daring to make a mistake, the little eunuch quickly cracked the whip and drove the carriage away.
"You—"
Xiao Lansi tried to say something more, but the carriage had already sped past her.
By the time she came to her senses, Ye Chutang was long gone.
Xiao Lansi looked back in disbelief.
'Ye Chutang has some nerve! I stood here waiting for her all morning, practically begging, and she just refused me without a second thought!'
'True, her most important duty is to treat Father Emperor, but surely she could have spared a few minutes.'
'Anyone with eyes could see she was doing it on purpose!'
'If word of this gets out, isn't she afraid of public criticism?'
