The Empress Dowager now finds it difficult to ask directly, but the Empress has to arrange things.
She seldom goes to Qianqing Palace, but today, for this matter, she made a special trip.
Changing into the Phoenix Robe of the Empress, she took the hand of a servant to go to Qianqing Palace. Kunning Palace and Qianqing Palace are on the same central axis. However, in all these years since entering the palace, the Empress has visited Qianqing Palace far less than Consort Chen who resides in Yuxiu Palace.
In fact, not even half as much.
She has never stayed overnight in Qianqing Palace, either.
In her heart, the Empress was turning over countless thoughts. But on the surface, her demeanor remained dignified and noble.
However, her health had been poor for years, and her complexion was poor as well. Even with makeup on, she could not hide the dark circles around her eyes that had been there for years, nor the wrinkles on her face.
