In Jinyu Pavilion, after Ye Zao had changed her clothes and rested, it was Ah Yuan who came to inquire about something different.
When it came to matters like the Phoenix Seal, Ah Yuan knew her mistress had everything under control.
She asked, "Mistress, is the Empress's health truly that bad?"
"It should be true," Ye Zao said seriously. "Consider, when I first entered the mansion, the Elder Prince had passed away. Even the hardest-hearted woman would..." Ye Zao shook her head: "Definitely feel that kind of pain after the death of a child. Yet how soon was she able to emerge smiling and managing affairs?"
"Later, she miscarried, and I felt that she was seriously hurt, but before long, she was out managing affairs again. Over these years, it seems nothing much has happened, but the pressure in her heart must be tremendous."
The Empress was childless, unloved, and even detested by His Majesty.
And she was someone always plotting... How could such a person not be exhausted?
