Hongxiu’s expression changed drastically when she heard this. "Miss, you cannot go!"
She had heard every word of the First Madam’s instructions earlier. The Protectorate State Duke Manor was currently in the deepest throes of grief over Yuwen Fu’s funeral. If Mei Gongxue went there now, she dared not even imagine what might happen. How could such an imperial decree be issued?
Mei Gongxue shook her head. His Majesty was occupied with a thousand tasks; how could he concern himself with such trivial matters? It was highly likely that someone from the Protectorate State Duke Manor had requested it themselves—they wanted to draw her out, and she knew there would be no shortage of humiliation waiting for her. But a long pain is worse than a short one. After all, Yuwen Fu had died by her hand; even if it were an accidental killing, she had to pay her respects.
