"What is it that An Xiaoyi wishes to say?" Song Yunzhao was quite curious what this major side character wanted to talk to her about.
Hearing Ming Fei's cavalier tone, An Shutong knew the concubine wasn't taking her words to heart. She didn't get angry, only offered a bitter smile and a soft sigh before speaking slowly. "I know that for someone of my status to enter the palace... it is actually a very awkward situation."
'Hearing this, alarm bells started ringing in Song Yunzhao's head. Generally, people who start by dragging themselves through the mud to create a pitiful atmosphere always have a greater scheme. Why else would they belittle themselves?'
"If I said I never intended to enter the palace, I suppose Your Ladyship wouldn't believe me."
'She was right—Song Yunzhao didn't believe her for a second. After all, from the moment she was sent to the Empress Dowager's side to be personally groomed, a woman as intelligent as An Shutong must have known what that implied.'
