Lu Xingzhou looked at her and suddenly said, "Ah Yin is much stronger than the Empress Dowager."
Knowing he was comforting her, Fanghua smiled.
Before going to bed, a maid from the main courtyard brought Lu Yanli back.
The little fellow was tired from playing, and once he came in, he couldn't stop yawning.
Fanghua originally wanted to take him for a bath, but seeing his condition, she decided against it and gently carried her son to the bed inside to sleep.
After a while, the couple both finished washing up and lay down in the inner room.
The night passed without incident.
The next day, the family of three entered the palace with the Old Marquis at the appointed time.
Fanghua handed over the little fellow to her husband and went to see Emperor Guangxi, where she told him the words she had coaxed out of the Old Marquis.
