When Baili Yen walked into the Queen's office, Ou Lan didn't look at her, continuing to scribble on the documents. Lin Ziran sat leisurely on the side, sipping tea.
The office was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Baili Yen, under tremendous pressure, timidly glanced around, observing the expressions of the Queen and Lin Ziran, then obediently lowered her head, took a few steps to the proper position, and performed a salute according to royal etiquette.
Still, no one paid her any attention.
Baili Yen took a deep breath, mustering the courage to speak, "Your Majesty the Queen, I sincerely repent and apologize to you, hoping you will retract the order and give me a chance to reform."
Ou Lan never lifted her head, using this silence to exert endless pressure and a sense of majesty on Baili Yen, using this silence to force her to bend her proud waist.
