Once Huang Liangyuan and Song Wanhua were gone, Liang Wan dismissed the palace maids as well.
She really didn't have the mental energy to deal with anyone else.
'Saving their lives was no act of mercy. It was purely for my own gain.'
In the vast palace hall, she and Gao Qian sat side-by-side in silence.
'She remembered how terrified of him she used to be. But as time went on, after all she had endured, she found she had nothing left to fear losing. And so, she was no longer afraid.'
Liang Wan snuck a sideways glance at the man beside her. 'I've known him for two lifetimes, but this is the first time I've ever seen the tyrant drink tea in such silence. He used to guzzle wine as if he had a death wish. How strange.'
'Is there no tea in Taiji Palace?'
Liang Wan had no intention of sitting with him like this indefinitely. Gritting her teeth, she turned to face him.
"Your Majesty didn't come to see me for no reason, did you?"
