The Empress Dowager said to her daughter-in-law, "Empress, follow me out for a walk."
The Empress understood. "Yes, Mother."
The Empress Dowager said to Su Xiaoxiao, "It's been hard on you. I'll get someone to send you back to the residence."
Princess Jingning said, "Grandmother, Jingning, send Madam Wei off."
"Sounds good."
The Empress Dowager nodded and brought the Empress out.
She instructed at the door and Xiao Duye, Xiao Shunyang, and Xiao Zhonghua entered.
Xiao Duye only spoke to Princess Jingning.
Xiao Shunyang's attitude towards Princess Hui An was not as close as before.
Xiao Duye had fallen out of favor with Emperor Jing Xuan. What was about to happen was definitely a battle for the throne. Princess Jingning and the Empress were forces he had to fight for.
