News that Emperor Jingzhi wanted to see Prince Duan had spread even before Empress Xiao had left Shengyuan Hall.
When Empress Dowager Yan Ping heard this news, her first reaction was that her informant had heard wrong. Over the years, no one had dared to mention Prince Duan before Emperor Jingzhi, let alone that child. Even if the Emperor had really let go of the past events, he should have summoned Prince Duan, after all, they were brothers by blood, and one could not hold a lifetime of resentment over his daughter.
But the wish to see Zheng Nianru made Empress Dowager Yan Ping vaguely uneasy. Was she overthinking it?
"Your Majesty, Her Majesty the Empress Dowager, you have finally waited for this day." Nanny Du's eyes were already red as she reassuringly approached, as if finding someone to confide in, she couldn't help but grasp the Empress Dowager's sleeve.
Empress Dowager Yan Ping glanced at Nanny Du. Was she celebrating too early?
