At this instant, everyone's heart leaped to their throats.
Could it be that they had been discovered?
Mother Xia had followed the Empress Dowager for many years, and she was a difficult character to deal with, with unwavering loyalty only towards the Empress Dowager.
Liu Mianmian's mind was rapidly considering, in case they were exposed, how she could extricate Su Luo from this predicament.
She had made a promise, and she was determined to fulfill it.
She would not cause trouble for Su Luo.
Lei Yun bowed slightly, the smile on her face seeming quite unnatural upon closer examination.
Then, they heard Mother Xia ask, "At this late hour, where is Miss Lei Yun headed?"
"The Empress instructed this slave to make a trip to Zhongcui Palace and bring some rewards to Princess Consort Liu!" Lei Yun's voice was somewhat unnatural. Fortunately, since she was not from Dayue, Mother Xia did not pay too much attention to the oddity in her speech.
