Consort Ru's heart eased slightly, yet she still bit down hard on her lip.
"But! Are we really just going to stand by and do nothing!?"
Xiao Lansi said comfortingly, "Rest assured. With Elder Jiang in the Cabinet, nothing will go wrong."
'That may be so, but the crucial point is—the Eldest Princess is involved now too!'
Consort Ru knew the Eldest Princess's temper all too well. She was truly not someone to be trifled with.
'If today she can forcefully demand the Cabinet send memorials for her joint review, tomorrow she'll be approving them directly in the Holy Emperor's stead!'
Xiao Lansi seemed to guess her thoughts. After a moment's hesitation, she asked, "Perhaps... we could send someone to see the Eldest Princess..."
"Absolutely not!"
Consort Ru cut her off at once.
'At a time like this, it's best to wait quietly. If we go to her, it'll be a dead giveaway!'
'Knowing the Eldest Princess's personality, she'd be convinced of her suspicions and assume Cheng Xuan is guilty!'
