Shen Xiheng finished speaking and immediately stood up, not hesitating for a moment, and hurriedly walked toward the door.
Lord Shen and Madam Shen exchanged glances, both somewhat at a loss.
All they wanted was to see their daughter-in-law; how had things escalated to this point?
But with him gone, they couldn't stop him if they tried.
Madam Shen's eyelid twitched as she said to Lord Shen, "Could something happen? I just can't settle down!"
Lord Shen was just as worried, but he still chose to trust his son, reassuring his wife, "Xiheng knows what he's doing; let's just wait."
Madam Shen nodded and then sent someone to the Imperial Palace to inquire about the news.
Meanwhile, in Yangxin Hall, after Qi Yu completed the ceremony, she slightly tilted her head and glanced at the Empress kneeling on the ground.
In just a single day, the Empress had transformed from her previously overbearing demeanor to now looking haggard and pale.
