After the Emperor left, the Empress Dowager stood before the palace doors, watching his retreating figure as she fell into deep thought.

The Empress Dowager did not move. She frowned at her. "Did you notice that when the Emperor mentioned that woman, Su Qiao, today, something seemed off about his eyes and tone?"
