"Indeed, they overheard our conversation!"
Sally met Chu Duo's gaze.
The other party was startled.
The Empress, seeing that Chu Duo ignored her, began to knock her head on the floor forcefully, knocking and crying, extremely disheveled—with none of her usual grace and luxury, now pitifully humble to the point of invoking pity and regret.
Xiaoqi stared without blinking, "Mom, this is real, right?"
Sally patted her head, "It is real. The Empress must have violated the palace rules, or her family committed a grave taboo against imperial authority, so she's begging for mercy."
Chu Duo casually glanced at the supervising eunuch beside him, "Eunuch Pang, help the Empress up and offer her a seat."
The Empress trembled even more, "Your Majesty, spare my life."
Anyone who had worked with Chu Duo knew that the more polite he was, the more dangerous it became. The kinder his smile, the more ruthless he was!
