72. Fire at Yaohua Palace
Standing before the grand and imposing palace, Ye Li sighed softly. This was her third time entering the palace. Given her previous unpleasant experiences, being summoned by the Emperor this time made her even more cautious and wary. As Princess Consort Ding, she was a member of the imperial family's inner court. Normally, even if the Emperor wished to see her, the summons should have come in the name of the Empress or Ye Zhaoyi.
"Princess Consort Ding, His Majesty is inside. Please, go in," the leading eunuch said in a slightly fawning low voice. Ye Li glanced sideways at him, vaguely recalling him as the eunuch who had delivered the marriage decree to the Ye Mansion.
Ye Li nodded. Qingluan and Qingyu had been left outside. Her hidden guards naturally couldn't move about freely in the Imperial Palace, so Ye Li could only enter the magnificent palace, a symbol of power and wealth, by herself.
