First, Princess Ning An was acting strangely, and now the Empress Dowager was too.
Empress Dowager Zhuang took a sip of tea and said, "Ning An is nothing but a paper tiger. Usually relying on my support, she blusters through life fearing neither heaven nor earth, but in reality, she's extremely timid—afraid of both the dark and thunder, not to mention pain and death."
Speaking of this, Eunuch Qin could almost see Little Ning An crying in front of him, and he chuckled, "Princess Ning An must have a light on when she sleeps, a habit that is similar to that of His Majesty."
Both siblings were afraid of the dark.
