Fourteenth Master entered the palace with the mindset of going to the execution ground, but in reality, he was turned away.
His Majesty would not see him.
All the things Fourteenth Master had prepared to say were just bottled up inside him.
Feeling stifled and aggrieved, he looked at the eunuchs of Qianqing Palace: "My Imperial Brother is really busy, huh..."
Su Peisheng politely smiled: "The epidemic hasn't completely passed yet."
Fourteenth Master acknowledged this with a nod and asked cryptically: "So... what about the Empress Dowager?"
"His Majesty says Fourteenth Master may do as he pleases," Su Peisheng understood fully.
Fourteenth Master feigned pretense for a moment, then made his way to Shoukang Palace.
At Shoukang Palace, when the Empress Dowager heard that Fourteenth Master had arrived, she was initially pleased, but then fell silent.
Cai Xia dared not urge her, merely watching her.
