The sun shone brightly today—truly a good omen.
After the last incident, the Emperor had issued a special decree allowing Yun Zhao to come and go as she pleased. Now, she didn't even need to ask the Empress Dowager for permission to leave the traveling palace.
It felt absolutely amazing.
As for whether the Empress Dowager was happy about it or not, what did that have to do with her?
The Empress Dowager certainly hadn't cared about her happiness when she was plotting against her.
The previous matter concerning the Marquis Yongjia Mansion seemed to have nothing to do with the Empress Dowager on the surface. But Qin Xiyue and Princess Consort Zhuang had always been close to the Empress Dowager. Without her backing, how would Qin Xiyue have dared to act so readily?
Unfortunately, Qin Xiyue was also very clever and didn't expose the Empress Dowager. Later, when Grand Tutor Qin retired to his hometown, Qin Xiyue had even less reason to offend the Empress Dowager.
