Upon seeing Song Yunzhao, Zhu Ruolan immediately stepped forward and curtsied. "This concubine greets the Noble Consort."
Song Yunzhao sized up Zhu Ruolan. 'To have the nerve to swap out Lu Zhixue's gift and still be unscathed... I refuse to believe she doesn't have someone backing her.'
'Lu Zhixue was the one who ended up confined, after all.'
"Zhu Cairen?" Song Yunzhao did not permit her to rise, keeping her eyes fixed on her.
Zhu Ruolan remained in her curtsy, unmoving. Hearing Consort Song speak, she quickly replied, "It is I."
Song Yunzhao let out a soft laugh.
Hearing that laugh, Zhu Ruolan's heart trembled. She kept her head lowered, completely still.
"You're quite capable, Zhu Cairen. For Lu Pin to be taken down by you was truly unexpected."
"This concubine doesn't know what the Noble Consort is talking about." Zhu Ruolan's face paled, but she forced herself to calmly deny it.
