Once the Emperor left, Imperial Consort Zhou also lost any desire to linger in Chengqian Palace.
She turned around and led a group of palace servants away in quick strides, leaving behind a cluster of maids and attendants staring at one another, uncertain of what to do next.
Seeing that the Emperor had gone, Rong Qinglei immediately waved a hand at them.
"You may all withdraw."
The attendants and maids, hearing this, felt as though they had been granted a reprieve.
They hastily bowed and withdrew, thoughtfully closing the doors behind them as they left.
When the Emperor departed, Yue Mingxuan did not wait for Rong Qinglei to speak before getting up on his own.
Today's Emperor really seemed to be acting on a whim, punishing people one moment and sparing them the next.
