305: Blessed by Noble Consort Li_3

The Empress only let Mrs. Zhao stay, sending everyone else away. Then she looked at Su Xinyi and said, "You are finally back. If you delay any longer, Noble Consort Li would probably go to the Spirit Temple to visit you herself."

Hearing the Empress's complaints, Su Xinyi felt a strange sensation. Her relationship with the Empress hadn't been good, but after their recent collaboration, it seemed like the Empress had become less resistant to her.

In the past, the Empress would have been very formal and stiff when speaking with her. Now it was more like complaining.

So, what had Noble Consort Li and her son done during her absence that made the Empress not only abandon her previous suspicions but also show favor and closeness to her?

"I truly appreciate Your Majesty's efforts this time. Without you, my journey wouldn't have been so smooth. I will keep your kindness in mind," Su Xinyi left room for herself, only saying she owed gratitude, but not implicating the Crown Prince.
