Grand Dowager was startled and asked, "What do you mean? Is it about the Fujian war?" Xiao Yanyi nodded: "Someone found a curved knife by the roadside where my elder brother traveled. The knife is no ordinary one; it was crafted in a forge belonging to the Yue Family of the Second Prince in Fujian... The Second Prince has gone to the palace regarding this matter."
The Yue Family of the Second Prince? Grand Dowager's expression suddenly turned extremely unpleasant. She half-turned to ask Nanny Wu, "I heard the Second Prince Consort is about to give birth. Has she delivered yet?" Nanny Wu shook her head and replied to the Grand Dowager, "She hasn't; otherwise, a message of joy would have been sent."
Grand Dowager nodded thoughtfully: "It seems, whether this matter is true or not, the Third Prince will certainly hold onto it!" It appears the Xuanning Marquis Mansion will be swept into turmoil again: "Has there been any move from the Empress in the palace?"
