Kabanata 123: First Time In The Imperial Kitchen

Eunuch Gao arrived and declared His Majesty's decree. Consort Mei was shocked and flustered.

She couldn't believe that this matter has actually alarmed His Majesty. 

"Why are you all asking me for him? Do you think that Li Yao is still here even after he received his reward? Yang Momo, go and take a look." Consort Mei glanced at Yang Momo meaningfully.

Yang Momo nodded understandingly and disappeared into the back room.

Ye Jiayao still has her mouth covered but she didn't bother struggling. It would be better for her to save her energy.

"Today, on the account of the Crown Prince, Consort Mei will pardon you temporarily for your impudence. If you dare spout nonsense after you leave, Consort Mei can claim your life anytime," Yang Momo warns. "Do you understand?"

Ye Jiayao nodded.

Yang Momo gestured for the two Eunuchs to release her.
