Han Jinyi didn't stay long. After a bit of idle chat with Song Yunzhao, she rose to leave. Song Yunzhao saw her to the palace entrance before turning back.
Nanny Yu then came forward and said, "My Lady, I had someone go take a look. The Six Departments have already begun repairs on Shouci Palace."
Song Yunzhao smiled. "They're moving quite fast this time."
"They don't have a choice. Even if they're unhappy, they wouldn't dare cut corners on something His Majesty has decreed," Nanny Yu replied with a smile.
"About how long will the repairs take?" Song Yunzhao asked.
Nanny Yu shook her head. "I didn't ask, but based on the Six Departments' usual pace, it will take five or six days at least."
"That's not fast at all. The Empress Dowager will be returning to the palace soon. If the repairs take that long, how long will the preparations inside be delayed?"
