When Song Yunzhao arrived at Cuiwei Palace, she ran into Consort Shu right at the entrance as the latter was about to leave. Consort Shu paused, looked at her, and asked, "Are you here about Noble Lady Xu?"
Song Yunzhao nodded. "Yes. Are you heading out for this matter as well, Consort Shu?"
"Let's talk as we walk," Consort Shu said, her tone and expression sour.
Song Yunzhao fell into step beside her. "I just received the news and rushed over to discuss it with you. I don't know the full story yet. Do you?"
Consort Shu's expression darkened further. "I don't know much either, but Yunshang quietly made some inquiries. Yesterday, Noble Lady Xu went to Shouci Palace to pay her respects and stayed there for a full eight to ten hours. But we couldn't find out what she was doing for all that time."
Song Yunzhao was speechless.
'So it really was the Empress Dowager who meddled in this.'
