The Empress Dowager, upon learning that the Empress had delegated the management of the imperial harem to the two Guipins, was of course not pleased.
But she didn't say much, after all, it was the Emperor who had agreed to it.
Just the thought of Chen Guipin taking charge made her feel extremely uncomfortable. She resolved that if there was no interaction, so be it, but should they cross paths, she would not make it easy for her.
It just so happened that, in these past few days, the Grand Empress Dowager suddenly fell ill with a cold and became bedridden.
Ye Zao didn't waste a word. Being close by, she immediately went to Cining Palace to attend to her.
She really was the first to arrive. By the time His Majesty, the Empress Dowager, and others arrived, she was already helping the Grand Empress Dowager take her medicine.
"Imperial Mother, how are you feeling?" The Empress Dowager, seeing Ye Zao, couldn't be bothered with her and only inquired about the Grand Empress Dowager.
