Chapter 332: Suffering Wife vs. Homewrecker (18)

Gu Shengyin was gently awakened by a palace maiden.

After all, as the daughter of an official, it would damage her reputation if word got out that she had stayed overnight in the palace due to drunkenness.

After drinking a bowl of sobering soup, Gu Shengyin finally sobered up. In a daze, she remembered being embraced by someone who smelled of lotus fragrance. Could it be that Emperor Xiande had brought her back?

She tentatively asked the female official beside her, "I cannot hold my liquor and I do not know which sister brought me here. I should properly thank her."

The female official smiled and bowed, "This is but the duty I ought to perform, Miss Liang is too polite."

She had seen how the Emperor treated Miss Liang, carefully and as if she were a treasure, so naturally, she was very polite to Gu Shengyin. However, the Emperor had instructed that the matters from earlier were not to be disclosed, so the credit was attributed to her.
