In the morning, when Ah Yu woke up, the Empress Dowager called her over to talk. After a few words, the Empress Dowager was amused by Ah Yu and started laughing happily. Qin Huai was thinking about something at the side.
It was not until the Empress Dowager got someone to remove the table and pulled Qin Huai down with her that she sent away Princess Ruyi, who had come to make her presence known again. It was only when it was almost lunchtime that she let them go to the Empress's palace.
The Empress Dowager said to Qin Huai, "Your Aunt hasn't been feeling well recently. Go to her palace and walk around. See if there's anything serious. I'm old, so I won't go and annoy them."
With that, the Empress Dowager pretended to be sleepy and leaned against the chair to rest with her eyes closed.
The moment Qin Huai heard the Empress Dowager speak, he turned to look at Ah Yu and saw her looking at him.
She looked puzzled.
