"Empress Dowager, please walk slower; the hour has not yet come. It's alright to go later," another unknown palace maid's voice rang out.
Meanwhile, there were also many sounds of footsteps walking.
Chu Nanli looked over and saw a group of people walking in this direction from a distance, too far to see clearly.
An elderly woman escorted by a group of palace maids and bodyguards exuded an air of dignity and grace, her steps spry and sure.
Chu Nanli felt a vague sense of familiarity with the figure and footsteps, and before she could recall why, she heard the Empress Dowager say, "My health is quite robust; walking faster won't twist my ankle. Why are all of you so anxious?"
The voice was also familiar.
As the procession drew nearer, the Empress Dowager passed by a palace lamp, and Chu Nanli caught a glimpse of her countenance, her eyelids twitched.
It was the elderly woman she had saved on the street that day!
