As Shen Qi reached the palace gate, the maid serving beside the Empress bent down and whispered softly, "The Emperor's mood isn't very good right now."
Shen Qi: ???
Damn, if she's in a bad mood, why summon me? Is she deliberately trying to give me a hard time?
"Thank you, my lady."
Without hesitation, Shen Qi handed her a pouch of money, then whispered, "Who did His Majesty summon just now?"
"Royal Heiress."
Shen Qi raised an eyebrow, Oh~
I see!
She's upset because of her daughter, and she wants to vent to me.
"I, Shen Qi, pay my respects to Your Majesty."
Guided by the maid, Shen Qi entered the inner hall, noticing broken pieces of porcelain on the floor, indicating that the Empress hadn't calmed down yet.
What's the first rule of surviving in the workplace?
Stay out of trouble!
While pondering who could take the blame for her, Shen Qi maintained a calm demeanor, exuding an air of unruffled composure.
