Zhang San couldn’t help but ask, “Did you offend this princess?”
Shen Roujia shot him a glare. “You talk too much. I’m heading back. Take care of things here for now. If nothing urgent happens, I’m leaving.”
After Shen Roujia left in a hurry, Zhang San called over a few book attendants to serve the group and then returned to the Hidden Pavilion.
Meanwhile, Shen Roujia suddenly felt like she had no place to go.
When she left earlier, it was to avoid Xu Zening. But now that she was out, she had to scurry back, just to avoid Xu Ruoruo.
It was as if she owed the Xu family something in a past life. Why did they all seem like debt collectors?
Strangely enough, when Shen Roujia returned to the palace, everything seemed normal. No one came to cause trouble for her, and she lived peacefully for several days. Even Xu Zening was too busy to come back.
Shen Roujia was more than happy to enjoy this freedom.
However, when Xiao Fu mentioned Consort Shu’s situation, Shen Roujia was somewhat surprised.
An’er, as expected, was a child who wasn’t valued. But this incident allowed the Emperor to see Consort Shu’s true colors, so he no longer dared to let her manage palace affairs.
He directly handed over the reins of the inner palace to the young Consort Li. As for this Consort Li, in Shen Roujia’s memory, she was the cousin who was encouraged by Gu Yunqing to step forward and make accusations. 𝓃𝓸𝓿𝓹𝓾𝓫.𝓬ℴ𝓶
Thinking of this, Shen Roujia guessed that this woman wasn’t necessarily a bad person.
But who was in charge didn’t really matter to her.
Still, deep down, Shen Roujia felt that the punishment wasn’t harsh enough. Consort Shu was placed under house arrest, stripped of her duties in managing the inner palace, and even had her Phoenix Seal taken away.
Xiao Fu excitedly added, “His Highness has been extremely busy lately, mostly because of the incident involving Prince Chun.”
