Chapter 410: Explosives

"Noble Consort, Madam Ruan requests an audience."

Mingshu and Si Chu exchanged a glance, a hint of surprise flickering in their eyes.

If Zhui Ying hadn't mentioned her, Mingshu would have nearly forgotten about this person.

She pondered for a moment, then looked at Zhui Ying, "Bring her over."

She was curious to see what the other party wanted to say.

It wasn't long before Madam Ruan followed behind Zhui Ying into the room, her expression a bit haggard, her hair slightly disheveled, and her eyes rimmed with red.

She glanced at Mingshu and Si Chu, pursing her lips, and lifting her dress slightly, she knelt down, "Peasant woman Ruan, pays her respects to Your Majesty, pays her respects to the Noble Consort."

Mingshu watched her for a long while, and slowly said, "Rise. I hear you wish to see me, what is it for?"

Madam Ruan lifted her head, her gaze steadied, as if she had made up her mind, "Peasant woman has an urgent matter to report."
