In the imperial palace, the emperor resting in his quarters was reflecting on what his mother, the empress dowager, said earlier.
( What did mom mean when she said she'd use any means necessary? What is she up to and why do I have a bad feeling whatever she's planning will turn havoc?)
From the other side, in the empress dowager's quarters, the latter was mimicking something from the tip of her mouth.
( Whatever I'll do will only be for my grandson's happiness and well-being and no other purpose).
The following morning, Ying Yue woke up early as she usually does and prepared a refreshing breakfast for both of them. After finishing her task, she went upstairs to wake up her big brother whom the latter had no intention of waking up any time soon.
" Ying Jie, wake up! It's time for breakfast". I rolled him in every direction I could think of but he didn't even budge a muscle.
