Zhou Residence, Zhulan gestured for the maids to leave and handed her own washed handkerchief to her husband, "Tonight, Chang Lian brought up Shen Yang, saying that Shen Yang has been ill for two days now. The rumors about the real and fake princes haven't subsided yet, they can't keep dragging on like this."
She even suspected, with such dragging out, whether Shen Yang might scare himself to death!
Zhou Shuren accepted the handkerchief and wiped his face, then setting it down, he said, "No, the Emperor is waiting for Zhang Jinghong to return to the capital. Once Zhang Jinghong is back, things should come to a conclusion."
Zhulan had less contact with these matters than her husband, and she wasn't completely sure, so she tentatively asked, "Will the Emperor acknowledge Shen Yang?"
Zhou Shuren eyed the door, because of the habit he had with his wife, no one was left to keep watch there, but he still spoke softly, "Very likely."
"How so?"
