Paying Respects for a Birthday at the Prince's Estate

"Already... here?" Lu Wanyi looked at the gates of East Capital Prefecture before her.

The last time she had seen these gates was when she entered the palace.

After entering the palace, she had never left it again.

Whether Empresses or consorts, in essence, they were merely the Emperor's appendages.

"I do. I didn't expect you to have investigated things so thoroughly,"
